    iPad Capturino: iPadOS 17, A UVC viewer for photographers and more

    Hi there, I am a solo developer and Capturino is an app that uses iOS 17 UVC feature. I have been building this since the betas and saw another very similar to mine. While both apps can do the same (use the iPad as a screen), mine was geared towards a photography tool. So using a USB-C video...

    iPad Pro Quick Review of the A12Z 12.9 (refurb) just bought.

    Hi Folks, I already have a 11" (2021, M1) iPad Pro, but I wanted a big iPad just for home. I had occasion to play with the miniLED 12.9 for hours, and I strongly disliked its screen; not only for the (quite visible) blooming, but also because it's kinda 'hard' on my eyes. The content pops up...

    Hi, everyone, my M1 2021 iPad Pro went dead after a little less than 2 years. I left it on the monitor's USB-C charging cable during the night, and when I picked it up to try to turn it on, it refused to. It went through normal usage – well-protected, no drops, no major scratches. I've used it...

    I am unable to use my iPad Pro and it is stuck in update from prior iOS version. I understand that you cannot downgrade unless you use Blobs. Can this method be used to downgrade when it is stuck in update mode? Also, if this can be done, are the SHSH blobs unique for the iPad, or unique for...

    iPad Pro New iPad Pro 11" M2 owner: first-world struggles lol

    Just picked up a like-new open box 11" 2022 iPad Pro over the weekend, at 256GB storage for the price of a 128GB - so a decent deal.

    iPad Pro iPad Pro 11" 4th gen GNSS

    Which GNSS systems does iPad Pro 11" 4th gen support? GPS, Glonass, Galileo, Beidou, QZSS? Is it dual frequency GPS? Apple documentation only says GNSS. Generally the GNSS reception seems much better compared to the 1st gen 11" iPad Pro (2018 model).
