    All iPads iPad OS Expectations

    Based on the big jump on recent hardware upgrades to both the iPad Pro (last year) and the iPad Air to the M1 chip and the lack of many new features to the iPad OS releases...

    iPad Pro iPad Pro (gen 2 - 2019) available replacement stock?

    I broke my iPad Pro’s screen and the replacement is $800. I’m wondering if they’ll hand me a newer model (gen 3?) or if there is still stock of 3 year old iPad Pros at Apple Stores for replacements. Is there a site that tracks/speculates on replacement stock? My iPhone 3G blew up 5 years...

    iPad Sidecar: Mouse pointer moves to iPad?

    Hi everyone I'm interested in adding an iPad to my M1 MacBook for running a couple of external control applications. These appear as a panel with clickable buttons. Is it possible to configure sidecar so clicking these buttons wouldn't also move the mouse pointer to where I clicked? Thank you!

    Apologies if this has already been posted but I am really frustrated by how quickly my iPad Mini drains.

    iPad Magic Keyboard Backlit is Finally Adjustable from Control Centre!

    Today, I updated to iPadOS 15.4 Beta. Just randomly, I opened control centre settings to organize a few controls and……what I saw was that, Apple has finally provided an option to control the Magic Keyboard’s backlit brightness DIRECTLY from the control centre! Previously, the only way to adjust...

    iPadOS 15 is the buggiest OS Apple has ever released

    Hello, As title says. I mean it’s just unbelievable, we’re 3 months or so away from WWDC and iPadOS 15 is just an absolute mess. I love using both my macbook and my iPhone and have generally very smooth experiences with both of them, but iPadOS is just a complete disaster. I genuinely cant go...

    I noticed something interesting in crash logs…

    Take a look at this: I noticed some interesting things in my iPad crash logs. First, it refers to the os as ”iPhone OS 15.3.1” instead of iPadOS, which is probably back from the early days when that was what it was called, and it’s not like they can change it now. Also, there’s an identifier...
