    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?

    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...

    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. Since the iPad 9 doesn't have all of that, but...

    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!

    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.

    iPad mini Torn between iPad 9th generation and iPad mini 6

    I'm trying to decide between the new iPad (9th generation) and the new iPad mini 6. On the one hand the regular iPad is slightly cheaper and is better to use as a "couch" device. On the other hand the iPad mini is better as an e-book reader in bed. My time will be split between the two. Is...

    I just purchased an 11” 2021 iPad Pro. So far so great! I really like the small form factor. A couple of things I wished it did differently: 1. Give me full access to Excel. Let me have CSV files and the ability to unlock locked worksheets. 2. Salesforce sucks on iPad. The app is trash and...
