All iPads Has your iPad usage changed since the pandemic?

I forgot to mention my 12.9 has been a huge convenience for me in that I do all my frequent zoom video calls on it. The bigger iPad screen has been great for this, especially for the larger group calls. Also the brydge keyboard with its hinge has been pretty crucial since it lets me adjust the iPad front camera to any angle. I have a 15” mbp I could theoretically use too, but it’s pretty heavy to be bringing around the house with me, so it mostly stays connected to a monitor on my desk (only use it for heavier work).
My iPad mini is also nice to have during my video calls since it lets me do various tasks without disrupting the call.

Very similar situation as you! I use my 12.9 as my Zoom device (95% of the time) with my Mini 5 and MBP 16" for the rest. I only use the MBP when I am the one leading meetings and need more control over the app (only because Zoom on iPadOS is limited...) and the Mini when I know I'm going to be moving around while talking.

Yes, I’m using it for most of the things I used to do on my iPhone. I always left my iPad at home, so I used my phone for almost everything. Now that I’m home most of the time, I use my iPad for social media, messaging, etc.

Interesting thread! My daily routine did a change a bit once I started working from home but I did find ways to incorporate the iPad in my daily usage. For example one of my objectives at work was to complete a management course in Udemy and I used the iPad and Notability to take notes during the course.

We also had a training campus at work (Webex training sessions) and I took notes in Notability from that as well.

I also used the time I have at home (with social distance I minimised the going out part) to read books, highlight and then create notes form the books in Notability.

I also started exploring DayOne and use the iPad as a digital journal device.

I started exploring the topics about personal knowledge management and second brain and use Notion for this and have Notion on my iPad for easier access.

I also sometimes would use the iPad as sort of second monitor. I would use my laptop for Teams meetings and would open OneNote on the iPad to take meeting minutes.

I do not think that my screen time has increased or decreased but I might have changed the ways I use the iPad in terms of apps and activities.
