    Is there an MDM solution that works well for families? I have 20 Apple devices in my home (and growing), supporting a family of five. Keeping all those devices updated and managed is a constant, often stressful undertaking. If it helps, I’m a registered Apple dev and am enrolled in Apple...

    iPad iPad Storage Space for Artist

    I am stuck between choosing 128 GB and 256 GB (iPad Air 4 vs iPad Pro 2020). I will be using the iPad for watching videos, drawing, sketching, and note taking. Drawing is a hobby (side note: I am getting a minor in studio art, so I do want to improve on my art), and I am not sure which one to pick.

    iPad iPad Air 4 vs Waiting for iPad Pro 2021

    Ahhh! Okay so I can't decide between the iPad Air 4 or waiting for the iPad Pro 2021. The only things holding me back on getting the iPad Air 4 versus waiting to see if I want the 2021 Pro is the difference in RAM and refresh rate and the iPad Pro 2021 having a new processor (compared to the...

    So, I noticed that under some circumstances, a diagonal line of pixels just starts showing things they aren't supposed to show. It appears that they switch places with the pixel a couple of spaces to the side. Let me show you with a video: Do you all think this is a hardware or software issue...

    iPad Examples of accidental damaged covered by AppleCare?

    My wife and I recently purchased new iPads with AppleCare. I’ve never had AppleCare on my devices, but the coverage of accidental damage was enticing. Side note: I dropped my first iPad - the lovely iPad 2 - a week after I got it back in 2011. Shattered the whole screen. ? That was expensive to...

    Fitness+ Fitness+ on TV using iPad USB-C to HDMI?

    For those without an Apple TV but have an iPad with USB-C and want to experience Fitness+ on a big screen TV, does Apple "allow you" to mirror the display to a TV via HDMI? Is there some kind of HDCP protection that prevents this, presumably to force people to purchase Apple TVs?

    Old ipads and new bluetooth speakers (iPad Air 1st gen)

    I'm looking for feedback and advice towards finding a compatible bluetooth speaker model, to pair with an old ipad of mine. Past experience has taught me that getting bluetooth devices to communicate is far from guaranteed - especially when there is an age gap in the hardware. Unexpected...

    iPad Air iPad Air 4 heating up after 5 minutes of use

    I recently bought an iPad Air 4 and I realised that the screen gets warm near where the Apple Pencil charges and also at the bottom part where the home bar is. It gets warm even when I’m just watching YouTube, taking down notes or doing pretty much anything. I’m using my iPad at low brightness...
