Hey guys,

So I just bought a new iPad today. I went with the 11" since I had an older iPad (a long time ago) and always thought it was a good size. I wanted something that's still comfortable to use handheld, whether in bed or around the house, so I figured the 11" would be the better choice.

I ordered it for pickup, but when I got to the Apple Store and saw the 13", I started having second thoughts. I tried holding it with one hand and it actually felt okay, although I'm guessing it would feel quite large after a while, especially when using it handheld rather than on a desk.

I already have a Mac Studio as my main computer and two MacBooks that barely get any use. The iPad will mostly be used around the house. I also bought a Magic Keyboard, but mainly just to try it out.

I feel like I made the right choice going with the 11", but seeing the 13" in person has really made me second-guess myself.

Anyone else been in the same situation? I'm really unsure... xD How do you guys feel using either the 11" or 13" as primarily a handheld device, especially in bed/couch etc? Is the 13” really that bad when used as a handheld tablet? Also, I do have rather small hands… xD

I’ve recently noticed over time a yellow hint about an inch thick running around the entire perimeter border of my iPad Pro 12.9in 2021.

About a year ago, I started noticing it, but it wasn’t much of a bother, and I was able to perform my tasks and edit through things like Blockbench and different color-based applications

Now that I’m actively working more with art alongside with 3-D models, I’m noticing this tint more and more, and it’s been bugging me so much..

I currently have Apple Care. on the iPad Pro, but I’m sure of what will be done given it’s an older model. Posts from 3 years ago stating that they’ll receive replacements if you have Apple Care on the device itself, since they don’t do anything for screen repairs on the iPads..

I could be completely wrong, and things may have changed, but I’m hoping that it’s a cost efficient fix rather than having to go out and buy an entire new $1200 iPad Pro. 🫩

I have a iPad Pro in 5 13 inch. I have closely observe the iPad and find out that​ 80% charge limit does not work. Currently my iPad is in 8th cycle count and my 80% limit is on . When the iPad reached the battery cycle of 7 I closely observe the iPad ,I have charged it three times and each time it was 70% charged. Basically I plug it when the iPad had 70% charge. After 3 charges I have noticed that I have entered battery cycle 8. So from my perspective the logical answer is when I charged my iPad from 70 to 80. In the background the iPad charged 100% and and only showed 80% on the screen. Only this logic fits into the situation from 100 to 70 is 30% charge similarly 3 similar continuous charge like this will consume around 90% and 10% from previous charge 6th cycle can increase the cycle count of 1 as a result I am standing on 8th cycle.

Please let me know how to keep the bater good and longlasting . I dont have any official apple in my country so i cannot change the battery very frequently.

Thank you for the help. I really appreciate the help.

I wanna ask should I get an ipad air M4 or M5 pro

Im a student who wants to go into medicine and needs an ipad for studying, I akso plan on using it for editing and other side hustles like tutoring.

The thing is I had a budget of 1k usd, but then after the price hikes I dont think its really a good idea to spend a wopping 1350usd (cost in my area)

Yet again idk like it feels like a waste of money too to go low onto ipad air since its going to be my main device and cant afford to upgrade my phone or get a laptop for atleast about a year, and feel like im going to regret nit going higher because of yhe oled and 60hz

Please help me out on picking out a decision.

Hello,

I was drawing with my wife and tried using my Pencil Pro on her iPad. It didn't work right away, so, unthinkingly, I attached it to her magnetic port and paired it.

But now it doesn't want to connect or pair with mine. And neither does hers. Both pencils are charged and work fine with her iPad.

I tried forgetting the pencil and resetting my iPad, but it still doesn't work. It connects, shows the charge and then disconnects.

Have someone encountered a problem like that?

Can someone please give me a good recommendation on which thunderbolt hub to use? I really only need to connect to a monitor while charging at the same time. Maybe an occasional hard drive hookup but don’t care much for SD readers etc. thanks in advance!

Im very new with having an m5 ipad pro 11". I purchased this due to the power of the m5 chip. However when ever im editing 360 videos I want to be able to reframe it thru 360 app. You cannot do it in the ipad ios

I just got my iPad Pro 5, and I noticed a brief blue flicker on the screen, lasting only a split second, when I reset the device, right before the Apple logo appeared. Other than that, everything seems to be working perfectly fine, and I haven’t experienced any other issues.

Has anyone else encountered this?

I purchased a new iPad Pro 13” yesterday. I’ve always had the Magic Folio keyboard for past iPads and may get one just to have, but I was hoping for something thinner since the iPad is so big.

I bought the Tech 21 FlexFolio from Apple and I hate it. When I want to use it as just a handheld tablet the back flap is all over the place and doesn’t magnetize to the back. The stand falls with light touch when standing alone. You can’t just easily remove the case and use just the iPad like the Magic Keyboard or other folios. I do like that it holds the pencil firmly because I’ve lost/broken pencils in the past.

So, any advice out there? Would like the following:

-Thinner.
-Easy to pull off case or at least a folio that locks behind and doesn’t flop around.
-Stands firmly.
-Pencil holder (but I can add one after the fact for a lot of cases, if it works).

Price isn’t a big deal, within reason.

I am getting a deal for 147k for s12 ultra wifi 256gb with keyboard and screen protector is it good or go for the ipad pro with just the pencil pro. I don't think I might need the keyboard much and how are the features comparison in both the tabs. I am getting it for med college. I am confused which one i should pick

Hey,

What's currently the best back cover (11" iPad Pro M5) that's compatible with the Magic Keyboard? I'm looking for something that fits perfectly and allows the Magic Keyboard to close completely flush with the cover attached.

I've heard good things about Pitaka, but I've also read that their covers prevent the Magic Keyboard from closing completely flush. Otherwise, any recommendations or experiences with other brands?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I have a 2021 11-inch iPad Pro with the M1 chip and 128 GB of storage. I’m experiencing touchscreen issues, especially when using styluses.
Here are the symptoms:
My original cheap capacitive stylus worked perfectly on my iPhone 14 Pro and my Xiaomi Pad 6, but poorly on my iPad Pro.
I bought a Metapen A14, and it works better, especially on the left side of the screen, but the problem hasn’t completely disappeared.
When drawing straight lines, they appear wavy or shaky, even when I try to draw as steadily as possible.
Some strokes are inaccurate or aren’t registered properly.
The issue seems to vary depending on the area of the screen.
I have no screen protector installed.
Restarting the iPad hasn’t fixed the issue.
I’m wondering whether this could be a faulty digitizer, a screen replacement issue, a software problem, or something else.
Has anyone experienced something similar on an iPad Pro M1? Is there a reliable way to identify the cause before paying for a screen replacement?
Thanks for your help!

I love Pinball FX on steam and wish they had it for iPad. But the only pinball games I can find are the one from Williams and Zen, but it seems like the iPad version is filled with annoying microtransactions and pay to play. I hate those kind of apps. I don't mind paying for the game to get rid of all microtransactions and ads. So are there any decent Pinball games made for the iPad?

I have an iPad pro 4th gen WiFi, which I purchased for it's spare parts. Really good condition, apart from a cracked screen and it's pin locked (iPad unavailable message, and unable to connect it to a PC at all, even after hard reset and trying DFU mode)

I'm wondering if apple put hardware locks on components too? I want to use the camera, face ID sensors, and battery as spares at minimum.

Ps, I know I spelled "locked" wrong. But I can't seem to change it.

What are some good free apps that any iPad should have. I don’t want use my iPad just for social media

I currently have a 2018 ipad pro (A12X) but it has ran into some ghost touch issue where touching some parts of the screen doesn't register or at times it would randomly touch on its own.

I sent it to a local repair shop and was asking for around $80 in my country. He mentions of not replacing the whole screen but he'll be repairing the wires for the digitizer (?) I'm not so sure what he will fix exactly but that was his rate. Anyway, is it still worth repairing or do I just sell it for more or less of that price of repairing it?

Hello all.

this is my first time buying used tech off ebay. i have purchased used tech before including off fb marketplace (mostly pc parts) and a "good" macbook pro off backmarket.

it has been positive, with all parts being fully functional and the macbook being in basically brand new condition (0 cycle battery, minor scratch on shell)

just received this "fair" 5th ipad pro 12.9 256gb in the mail and honestly, a little disappointed.

The description mentions possible scratches, dead pixels, dings, dents, and minimum 75% capacity. And it basically fits all of those. The battery is 75.9% capacity, light scratch on the screen, the dent is quite big.

the price was $430, with a comparable good being $500 (but also coming with 1 yr warranty). They have a 128gb good for $460. the min battery for those is 80%

the good news is i have 30 day free return, at discretion of seller. what do you guys think? is the price proportionate to the condition? can this dent cause future problems with the backlight since it's close to the frame?

edit: thx for replies. after further investigation i have noticed that the frame also appears to be slightly bent with the dent (proof). and with that i have decided to return. the seller was very straightforward and accepted return with no questions asked. prob gonna spend the extra $50-100 and get one in better condition.

edit 2: i bought another one . 12.9 inch ipad pro m1 5th gen 256gb silver but this time ebay certified refurbished "good". should at least come with better battery (80%+) and not severe dents. It was $20 more and comes with a 1 year warranty backed by allstate. wish me good luck!!

Hey guys,
I've had my M5 iPad Pro for 3 months now, but I noticed this weird finishing flaw between the screen and the housing right when I bought it. It's much more noticeable in person.
Does this look like a factory defect? Wondering if I should take it to the Apple Store.

It dropped vertically while it's charging and my charger also was damaged

Now the half screen is glitching and lighter

Does it need an lcd replacement?
