    Switched back to a MacBook Air from an iPad Pro w/Magic Keyboard

    I am a tech addict and previously had a MacBook Pro (2017) which I sold when I upgraded to an M1 MacBook Air. As a teacher, I have a windows work laptop that I used daily but hated the experience. I used my Mac for teaching and graduate work which was basically just word documents, powerpoint...

    iPad How do the Liquid Retina XDR mini-LED displays of the M1 iPad Pro and MacBooks differ?

    Excuse the apparent fact that I'm not knowledgeable on this topic. I thought it'd be fair to expect the same viewing experience from the two devices, but they appear very different to me regarding how dark black areas get and bloom or reflectivity. Even while both screens are off, you can easily...

    Anyone else having problems with iPad not appearing in Finder Sidebar?

    Since switching to the betas for iPadOS I've been having problems with my iPad Pro 12.9 M1 appearing in the Finder sidebar so it can be backed up. It's there sometimes, but most of the time it's not. My iPhone appears, so I know my MacBook Pro Max is working and is most likely not the problem...

    When doing my morning software update check, and error came up looking like the dynamic island on iPhone 14 pros, and in it said nothing to paste, could this be a early sign that iPad Pro models will adapt a dynamic island/ to slim down the bezels? click on the image, look on top.

    Magic Keyboard Without The Trackpad

    I’m just curious if others would have any interest if Apple offered a new Magic Keyboard but without the trackpad? For my personal uses on my M1 iPad Pro 12.9 I do not find the trackpad that useful, or at least I rarely use it. And the additional space occupied by the trackpad positions the...

    MacBook Pro 14” vs iPad Pro 12.9” - XDR Display

    I have tried to find a comparison between the screen on an iPad Pro 12.9” and the 14” MacBook Pro. Both have XDR displays with ProMotion but I wondered whether one was better than the other for watching video (aside from the size). A few YouTubers said the MacBook Pro screen was better but...

    iPad Pro Why did you choose the iPad Pro 12.9 over the MacBook Air?

    Just curious about why some of you iPad Pro 12.9 users chose it over the MacBook Air? One of the biggest reasons for myself is that I mainly use a desktop computer. I like using the 12.9 iPad Pro since it is a different experience than what I already have on my desktop. I also really like the...

    HomePod Using HomePod Mini as speaker for Ipad stops video

    Hi all, I have a new HomePod mini and was interested in using it as a speaker for my Ipad when watching videos. When I switched the audio output via Airplay to my Homepod, the video on the screen pauses. The audio continues but I can't get the video to play. How can I fix this? Thanks in advance.

    MacBook Pro 14" or iPad Pro 12.9" M1 with MK?

    I am currently struggling with the decision of wether I should get a MacBook Pro 14" or an iPad Pro 12.9" M1 with MK. Since I had some Macbooks and iPads and the past, I am familiar with both MacOS and iPad OS. Also I am using an iPhone 13 Pro Max and a Apple Watch. So I want to stay within the...

    iPad Pro Squeeze Clicking

    This is NOT a “gate” and it hasn’t affected performance, however, I was wondering what the hive mind thought of this. When I pick up my 12.9 iPP (2021) I can pretty regularly get a light “click” as if the case and screen are being squeezed enough to “click” together or on something inside...

    iPad Pro iPad Pro 3rd Gen to M1, should I upgrade?

    Should I upgrade? Yes, it’s one of those posts. So I have a 3rd generation (one camera at the back) iPad Pro 256g ( 220g is always free). I use it mainly for notes and sometimes for sideloading messages during meetings - quickly send a message while taking notes. I do A LOT of...

    Carrier Screen flickering on my 12.9 iPad Pro 2021. Quality issue or not?

    Purchased my iPad Pro 2021 in July, the 12.9" version with the stunning XDR screen. Really like this device. But recently while watching Apple TV+ videos (The Morning Show to be exact) I noticed that whenever the screen transitions are more intense, a green light appears on the screen. The...

    iPad Pro M1 12.9” - do you max out the brightness when watching DV/HDR10 movies?

    On my OLED TV, the OLED Light (equivalent to iPad’s brightness, despite its name) is set to maximum, because that is what is recommended. HDR10 and Dolby Vision content is tone mapped from darkest to brightest areas and the maximum brightness ensures highlights get bright while darks stay dark...

    iPad iPad doesn’t show right battery %

    It bothers me a lot. I charge my IPP mini-led for let’s say 20 minutes, and when I pick it up it displays the same amount of battery %. Sometimes I restart it and it shows more %, sometimes it doesn’t. Any clue? Thanks in advance.

    iPad Pro Please share the write speed to external SSDs you get connected to your iPad Pro 2021

    Seems to be a big issue. Please share here the write speed to external SSDs you get connected to your iPad Pro 2021. On a Samsung T7 USB 3.2 SSD I got only 44 MBps copying a 5 GB file to the HFS+ formatted SSD using the original USB 3.2 and a TB3/USB4 cable.
