    Help me out. I own an iPad Air 4 which I use as sort of my computer companion (mostly for entertainment and even some school work) however I've heard of how amazing the iPad Mini is for entertainment and with Apple Pencil. I am thinking about whether I want to keep my iPad Air 4 or whether to...

    iPad Received codes not detected by keyboard

    Hey everyone, You know how when you get a code to access your bank account or some other type of account, your keyboard recognizes the code and gives you quick access to the code you just received? Well, It is still working on my iPhone, but for some reason it stopped working on my iPad. Do...

    iOS 15 - Another nail in the coffin

    The new OS for iPad and watch have been a disaster (for me). The amount of bugs and broken features keeps blowing my mind. The latest issue (on OS 15.0.1) makes spotlight search completely unusable. When trying to type a search, the first letters are immediately deleted ??? This happens on a...

    All iPads Should I use iPad Keyboard and Apple Pencil?

    I'm very indecisive. While I have a keyboard case for my iPad, I'm kinda starting to think I prefer my iPad as a tablet rather than act as a laptop but i'm interested in getting an Apple Pencil but don't want to spend too much but I will be getting paid very soon so i'm thinking whether to sell...

    iPad Air Swipe to Closing apps Unreliable in Landscape

    I purchased an iPad Air4 two weeks ago. I really like this replacement for my iPad6 but one gripe I have is swiping up to close apps is inconsistent. Sometime it works with a light swipe or I have to press hard or on an angle. It's much worse when I use it to read in bed while in portrait...

    iPad mini Now, have any fellow Mini 6 owners used the Apple Pencil 2 on it?

    I have one for my 2018 iPad Pro 12.9 and I use it for digital art, pixel work, some crossword stuff. Its great on the big display but I haven’t tried it yet on my mini 6, I don’t wanna have to resync it I guess. So I’m wondering if any of you have any experience. The case I use has a slot for...

    iPad Twitter skipping hours of tweets

    Since upgrading to iOS 15 I've got a weird problem on twitter which I can't find any reference to online, although that just may be as I'm not sure what to google. I open the app and I get new tweets at the top of my feed as you'd expect. But it only loads the last hours new tweets. Before I...

    iPhone 13 iPhone 13s are a bit overrated

    So I think this year is an easy pass to anyone who has an iPhone XS/XR or newer because ngl I believe that next year the whole lineup will have ProMotion and better batteries… I think this year for Apple was a mehh and next year will be the ground-breaking announcement. Even the iPad mini (which...

    Carrier Using phone SIM on iPad with Xfinity

    Can anyone who has done this (activated a BYOD SIM on an old phone and stuck it in a cellular iPad) on Xfinity Mobile please comment on whether this worked and if there were any long term drawbacks? It blows my mind that Xfinity doesn’t support BYOD for iPad. I will either end up using the above...

    iOS Why is iOS home screen still laggy in 2021? (conspiracy theory)

    Hi guys, I'm posting this in the Developers forum, because I'd like programmers to share their views. Today I played with the new iPad Mini and I was disappointed to find out that the home screen (where you browse your apps) is laggy on this device. To a degree of being an unpleasant...

    Now that a bunch of us are receiving our new Minis. Or, maybe you recently purchased an iPad Air or a Pro? Either way, unless you plan on double-fisting iPads; what are your plans for your older devices? Trying to repurpose REALLY old iPads is kind of a sad state of affairs. Especially if you...

    iPad Air iPad Air now or wait? (from an eye-strain perspective)

    Hi everybody, need your help. Right now I have a 2018 iPad that I want to upgrade. I'm really interested in reducing eye strain, and I read that laminated display, true tone, automatic brightness, antiglare coating, p3 color all help in that way.

    iPad mini Any issue with buying AppleCare+ for iPad Mini 6 after ordering?

    I decided to get AppleCare+ for the iPad Mini 6 256GB but I placed the order already and I can’t cancel since the shipping time has been extended for new orders. Is there any issue ordering it once I receive the iPad? It seems like you can but I wanted to make sure. Thanks!

    Hey, so after the update to iPad OS14.6 and above I found out that I have the option to turn on Dolby Atmos in the music settings. However on the official support page for the devices that have Atmos I couldn't find anything about iPad Air 2. But I have it in settings. So does that mean that it...

    iPad Pro 12.9 (2021) Magic Keyboard discolouration

    Hello all. Just got the White Magic Keyboard for my 12.9" iPad Pro 2021 as a gift. Yesterday morning, I saw discolouration on the top inside and sides of the keyboard. That was weird because I made sure my hands were clean before using it. And I never reach those surffaces. Keys and the trackpad...
