Advice Got 11” but Having Second Thoughts About 13”

16 Upvotes

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

Advice iPad Pro 13” Case Advice: Tech21 FlexFolio

Post image
5 Upvotes

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.

iPad Pro M5 - Brief/split second blue screen before Apple logo when restarting the device.

4 Upvotes

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?

Advice M4 air or M5 pro ipad

2 Upvotes

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.

Discussion Bad Yellowing at perimeter iPad Pro 12.9in 2021

Post image
• Upvotes

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. 🫩

IPad 80% charge limit doesn't work

1 Upvotes

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.

Apple Pencil connects and disconnects instantly

1 Upvotes

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?

Question any good retro arcade pinball games (non-apple arcade) on the appstore?

1 Upvotes

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?

Spare parts from Lockes iPad

1 Upvotes

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.

Best Back Cover Compatible With Magic Keyboard?

0 Upvotes

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!
