    All iPads Can you recommend an iPad for me? Note-taking in Excel

    I'm looking to buy an iPad for my job (personal trainer at a gym), where I frequently make notes. To date, I've printed a programme card and made hand-written notes on printed paper for every session. So as you can imagine, not only do I got through a lot of paper, but it mostly gets wasted as...

    Any way to reset or "forget" 1st Gen Apple Pencil without a compatible iPad?

    Apparently there's a trick to make the original Apple Pencil work with the newest (officially incompatible) iPads using the LightBlue app. I sold my iPad Air 3 some time ago but kept the Pencil. Now trying to pair it with the new M2 Air I get a timeout error (timeout interrogating the...

    Pencil Pro engraving misaligned!

    Anyone else got the pencil engraved? No idea what Apple are doing here but it’s very bad! Bought 2 pencils so we don’t get them mixed up so had them engraved. Both are equally off in terms of alignment. Engraving is too high and even the Pencil Pro lettering isn’t aligned to the centre of the...

    Which stylus for iPad 12.9 2nd generation?

    I am going to add a stylus to my iPad Pro 12.9 2nd generation - but can't figure out which one to get. Other than the original Apple Pencil, what other options do I have. Or is it best to go with the 1st gen Apple Pencil? Thanks for your advice.

    iPad Pro Notability Touch Lag After Writing With Pencil?

    Just got myself a 12.9" M1 with the second gen Pencil, and I'm running into a new super annoying issue in Notability. When I write something with the Pencil and try to scroll, the app rejects the touch input for up to ~2 seconds. I can't tell if it's a Notability bug, iOS issue, or a hardware...

    iPad Pro Valid reason why Apple disabled edge swiping with Pencil???!

    I can't think of any reason why this option is disabled. It's so annoying when I have to change my grip to do something simple like bring up Control Center to change volume while I'm holding my Pencil. Do people draw that close to the edge? Why can't they give us the option of deciding if we...

    So I draw/write/design on my iPad a lot on the couch or in bed and prop it up on a pillow or something, but I didn't have a good option for using it at the table or my desk in that scenario.

    All iPads It seems like Apple has some quality control issues when it comes to their Pencil tips. I made a video showcasing that.

    On another note, how many times can I screw and unscrew a Pencil tip before it wears down the gold connectors inside? Found myself screwing and unscrewing one time in a bout of anxiety, and I had to make multiple takes of this video before I got it right.
