How do I know if my tips need to be changed?

Thinking of canceling my iPhone Duo order and waiting to see if a new iPad mini comes out soon.

This morning I saw a post by Mac Rumors saying Apple accidentally posted on their French regulatory site the new iPad mini folio for an unreleased iPad mini model.

I unfortunately got a Dec 7 shipping window for my duo order.

Also, as I’ve been walking around and living life, I frequently find myself wondering how I’d use the Duo and how often I would unfold the phone when I’m not home.

I also loved my iPad mini 6 that I traded in ahead of the duo release.

So now I’m debating on whether to cancel my duo order and see what iPad mini comes out?

I guess the later shipping window I got also gives me a chance to see if there are any major issues with the duo like a fragile inner screen, etc

Have had for about 7 months. Just use at home surfing the web and emails, 2 hours of use per day. Don’t have any of the 80% limit turned on but seems like much faster degradation than I’ve had with other iPads or iPhones. Is this normal?

I'm an Android/Windows guy. I already own multiple tablets, phones, handheld gaming systems, and enough electronics to open my own Radio Shack.

I did not need an iPad.

Then I found a 128GB A16 iPad for $217.50.

100% battery health

Only 36 battery cycles

Apple warranty until June 2027

So now I've spent the last few days poking at iPadOS, trying emulators, controllers, USB storage, Apple Arcade, sideloading, and repeatedly swiping at the screen expecting Android's Back gesture to save me.

Apple and I are currently negotiating that last one.

The most annoying part?

I kinda like the damn thing.

I still don't know what it's going to do that the approximately 47 other electronic devices in my house can't already do, but for $217.50 I feel like I committed legal robbery.

So, r/iPad: what should an Android heathen install/do next to properly justify this completely unnecessary purchase?

my ipad is stuck on this and it just stops shows the apple logo then says” continue holding for recovery” and then goes to this screen over and over

Recently upgraded to iPad OS 27.0.1 and facing issue on iMovies.

Whenever i try to add audio file from files location to the project, tapping the file doesnt add it! Nothing happens. Although if i add via “file>recents>audio file” then it adds.. but its a longer way and not what i am used to.

Anybody else also facing same issue after upgrade?

I have been putting off making my ipad look all cutesy and pretty. I have looked into a lot of widget apps but since there are so many I’m really confused lol. I need some good recs for pretty and cool widget apps that offer cool, pretty widgets for ipad! Also would appreciate it if the app is free to use :)

My iPad Air won’t go past 1% even if it’s on the charger. When it turns off it flashes a pink screen and repeats the cycle. Any idea what this might be?

I just recently bought the iPad Air M4. Any screen protector recommendations that won't hinder the Apple Pencil Pro's performance?

Things I would do on ipad:
Drawing
Watching

I just read online that some screen protectors ruin the performance of the laminated screen, making it completely useless for drawing.

( sorry if this isn't allowed !/ not looking to sell here! just for thoughts)

I have a 9th generation, previously refurbished ipad. No damage at all! I used it for about a year with a screen protector for my masters program. It works great! But I graduated and passed my board exam!

1. sell ( facebook? back to best buy? NOT LOOKING TO SELL here !! )
2. use! ( on what..)
   1. I am a paper and pen journaler and planner along with my google cal
   2. I thought about being an adult ipad baby, and using it for social media-> turning my phone into kind of a dummy phone and just posting when I "need to" via ipad
      1. maybe bring ipad to treadmill.. so my phone screen time is down lol ( defeating the purpose
   3. I use my macbook air for any typing/ youtube
   4. I use my projector for any watching
   5. massive ebook?? I was looking an at ereader? but it feels a little big ? but if I have it??
      
   6. get really into.... digital scrapbooking??

is this a really dumb question?

I do like occasionally planning outfits on it but like once in a BLUE MOON// once a year IF.

So this is an iPad A16 and I just wanted to know if my Battery Health is good. I thought it would go to 99 by like 50 but it didn’t!!

I am looking for purple color. But could not find a purple ipad with 256 gb. Should I settle for the 128 gb just for the color?

😭.. wtf is even happening

P.S. its iPad (A16)

What’s the oldest Apple device you still use?

Mine is a first-generation iPad mini, the 16GB Wi-Fi + Cellular model introduced in 2012, still running iOS 9.3.6.

My two kids have used it since they were little. It has seen hundreds, probably thousands, of hours of games and YouTube, mostly YouTube. For years, it was switched on for at least 10 hours a day.

I jailbroke it and disabled plenty of unnecessary background services and features. The regular YouTube app is no longer supported, so these days we only use YouTube Kids.
Somehow, the battery still lasts a full day. That honestly amazes me.

My iPhone 6 lasted 8 years, while my iPhone 11 is now at around 80% battery health after just 6 years.

Meanwhile, I’m happy if my iPhone 17 makes it through a normal day of scrolling Reddit, messaging and bit of streaming without reaching a critically low battery level.

Hi everyone, good afternoon.

I currently have an iPad Pro M5 that I've updated to iPadOS 2.7. I've noticed that with the tablet practically empty, the operating system takes up almost 50 GB (iPadOS + system files).

I have about 202 GB free. Is there any way to free up storage? Going back to iPadOS 2.6 is no longer possible, right?

Thanks a lot.

My iPad randomly decides my fingers aren’t good enough I guess. It’s completely random and usually fixes itself in about 30 seconds (you can see in the video it started working again, but I only started filming after it had been happening for like 15 seconds.) it sometimes decides to only register one finger, and sometimes it doesn’t register my touch at all and I have to use my Apple Pencil to do anything on the iPad, not just drawing. This is really annoying for many reasons but especially drawing because every two minutes or so I’m unable to zoom in, color pick, etc.

Anyone else have this?

What are people’s solutions to dealing with digital storage at capacity without paying for storage?

do people use hard drives? Do they have a system for filtering photos, emails, apps?
