There are a bunch of PDF apps, some good, some not. You can make it super computery with annotation bars and excerpts, or you can treat it like marking up a printout with a pen, because that's what the pencil feels like

Resizing it is the same thumb-forefinger gesture as pinch to zoom (move together to make smaller, apart to get bigger. You can drag it to the corner you want.

I dropped my pencil on pavement and it hit tip first so I guess that's why it comes with a replacement tip. I now need to find a tacky lanyard or something for it to prevent further drops when I'm lugging the iPad around for work.

Ignoring size and camera tech, is there any reason to pick the big over the small Pro and vice versa?

Some people ITT consider RAM to be a performance bottleneck in the future, which would mean the big one is more future proof. Otherwise they are very similar. Edit - Also for some reason the smaller one has always-on "Hey Siri" as opposed to only when plugged in on the big one. I Am Crake fucked around with this message at 11:11 on Apr 5, 2016 |

I think that the Hey Siri thing must be due to battery life. It clearly has some impact because when the iPhone goes into Low Battery mode, that gets turned off; maybe the screen is just too big of a power draw and Hey Siri took 5 minutes too much off how long it lasts on battery. Wouldn't surprise me to see it get enabled at some point in the future. There's also the fact that the smaller iPP has the true tone display, which may or may not be a big deal for you.

Picked up an iPad Air Keyboard 2 case at Best Buy to see what happened. Speakers sound fine--it's slightly louder out of the side that aren't covered, but considering that previous iPads only had sound coming out of one side, that's not a big deal at all. Only other "issue" is that the camera flash is covered, which I'm not concerned about at all because lol iPad photography.

I just dug out my iPad Mini 1. I haven't used it properly in over a year / when I got my MacBook. Should I get iOS 9? It's 7.1.2 at the moment. I'm not really sure what I'm going to use it for since I've been fine with my MacBook and iPhone recently.

I found 9 to really just make the thing dog slow, basically unusable. My SO started using it since I stopped and I felt so bad that I bought him a mini 4 for Christmas.

Got the Logitech create for my pro. It lost connection every 30 seconds for 10 seconds and it became really annoying. Exhcanged ot for a new one and it works great. Now I'm more or less using the ipad as a computer replacement. Apart from some sites being iffy on IOS it works pretty drat well. I still miss having a USB port though.

Logitech use to make really good peripherals but they really don't anymore. I've gone through a few keyboards and mice from them over the last year and they all broke on me or didn't work well.

It won't play anything new that is graphic intensive though, but I think that is normal for any OS on the mini 1.

I've been waffling between the two sizes of iPads. Is there likely to be an iPad Pro 2 later this year? Or with 4gb of ram is the current 12.9 Pro going to last for a while as the best iPad you can get? I know the ram isn't a huge deal with a low-usage OS but I'm really leaning towards the larger tablet due to my main reasons for getting it being Pencil and video stuff. I know there haven't been any iPad rumors since the 9.7" Pro just came out, but if I'm going to get an iPad that's going to last me years I might as well get the best.

Given that the Air 2 hasn't received an upgrade yet, the Pros could skip an annual upgrade while the Air and mini lines get an Air 3 and mini 5 (A9 processors, RAM bumps, but no pencil and smart connector support). You won't find out until at least October though so if you want one now, go by what's currently available.

My friends is going to start running a short D&D campaign and I want to join in as a player, are there any good iPad apps that people can recommend for trying to keep everything digital (for myself at least) and use up less table space with sheets of paper? I've only played a couple of times before but we generally seem to run out of room once everyone needs to start fumbling their sheets when combat starts. Especially in terms of keeping notes about locations, NPCs, the other players, etc. I was just going to write it all down in a notebook but that would get messy pretty fast. Being able to split things up per character and keep a chart of how each character is linked (like those things you see for conspiracy theories, like an arrow pointing between names/photos saying stuff like "Is in business with..." and "Is the father of..." etc.) would be handy, but I'm not even sure where to start looking for that kind of thing.

You're honestly better off just sticking with an actual paper and pencil. iPads (and ebook readers) do not make the constant flipping back and forth between pages and constant editing of notes and stat boxes and poo poo very pleasant.

Tab8715 posted:How fragile is an iPad or how do I know if I need a case? And if I do, which one because they are way too goddamn many. I have literally this (and I got it for $13 at TJ Maxx for some indiscernible reason) and only this protecting my silver Air. It has been that way for the entire 2 years that I've owned it and it's never gotten so much as a blemish. Whenever it's not being used it goes straight into the sleeve and that's about it. That aside, the drat thing gets tossed, trucked around, and left in my bag pretty much nonstop. I use it constantly for school and work. The things that hurt iOS devices are drops and neglect/being left in the way. If you're good about those two factors then you don't need extra protective stuff marring the looks and finish. Don't drop it- or use it over tables/etc if you're a klutz- and don't leave it places where it can be sat on/spilled on/stepped on/knocked down without a padded sleeve. If it gets crusty/dirty/oily, just wipe it down with a soft, maybe lightly damp, cloth and never use any alcohol or stripping agent like Windex. Boom, you are now an iPad expert and your iPad will remain beautiful, nude and resplendent, barring someone else's gently caress up.

You can prepare a PDF with the blank character sheets and a couple of blank pages with titles (relationships, locations, etc) then use something like Notability or PDF Expert to write/draw on them.
