I don't see why they couldn't just do an iPad presentation in mid/late October like they've done in the past. By the point all the iPhone buzz will have long died down.

I think they don't want to premiere an iPad with new features / a new design language until the new iPhones are released. Plus, October would be 2 years since the iPad Pro 12.9" model came out, so I can't imagine they would wait any longer than that to update it. My hope is that they skip straight to an A11X chip made on a 10 nm process

I'll probably get something before then. Old iPad is gone and while March is fine, I think October is just too long of a wait for me.

Hey guys, anyone have a recommendation for a good keyboard case for an iPad Air 2? I want to stop bringing my MacBook to evening classes. I love using pages on the iPad but I miss having a physical keyboard. I used to have a small BT keyboard cover for my work iPad mini so I'm fine with using smaller keys. Thanks in advance for any recommendations !

I have a Pro I use for work to annotate PDF project files, take meeting notes, email and Skype for Business stuff. But at home I usually reach for the mini. It's the perfect size to stream while playing games, read a book, or just browse these dead forums with the Awful App.

Regular Nintendo posted:Am I literally the only person who prefers the mini form factor The bigger phones cannibalized the Mini. I'm rocking an iPhone 5s/iPad Mini 2 combo. The iPhone will retire for the next up iPhone, after which I'm assuming the smaller size difference and giant performance leap will relegate this iPad to Spotify/Philips Hue control panel. I'm really enjoying this thing still but I'm not sure with a bigger iPhone and a 13" MBP I see myself buying any iPad soon, but a new Mini is basically out of the question with how little difference it'll make to the phone.

How many of you are iPad Pro (13") owners who don't have any work or comic related usage for it? I really like the idea of the bigger screen to watch videos on when I'm in bed or in the bath but I'm curious what people find good/bad about it for other purposes. For comparison, I'm currently using an iPad Air 1, so perhaps the split-screen thing would be good for holiday planning when I'm not in front of my PC.

I really like the idea of the bigger screen to watch videos on when I'm in bed or in the bath but I'm curious what people find good/bad about it for other purposes. I don't use it for work or comics. Well, actually, kind of. I do use it to try to get used to music writing apps with the pencil and since I am a musician I guess that would be professional use. Oh wait, I use it all the time for reading sheet music with a Bluetooth page turner...that is actually the main reason I got it so I guess that means I did get it for professional use. I also got it hoping to get some of my photography workflow done on the iPad but the software is just not there yet since adobe is still crippling it even though it could be a great photo editing machine. Anyway, I had intended to reply about how I would have bought it just for non professional usage but now that I think about it I use it mostly for music stuff and teaching lessons. Originally I was doing more with it like what you described but then I got a better laptop with a 17" screen so I don't use it as often for those things anymore. It is still much easier to throw in a bag with the keyboard case than bringing my laptop so it does still serve the purpose of general fuckery. In retrospect, if I had known that I was going to be getting the laptop that I did I might have passed on it but I am glad that I have it since it is really convenient, has a very small footprint, is very light/portable and has a great screen so if you have some disposable income I would say go for it.

I got the 12.9, but will likely return it for a 9.7 Pro. It's just real unwieldy to use, although I adore it for watching media. Going to play with this weekend and see if I can acclimate first.

My 12.9" Pro is awesome. I previously had an Air 2, and the only thing I miss about it was the battery life, which I would say is 10-15% better than the big Pro. I use mine for a bit of everything - VNC/RDP, reading books, comics, playing games, web browsing, etc. I wouldn't have it any other way, but I would be enticed by the hypothetical 10" bezel-less Pro, mostly because it would probably be a lot lighter than this 12.9" Pro.

I have the 12.9" and it's basically a sleek casual everyday laptop for me. It's the ideal device for the typical internet browsing, video watching, games, etc and I can't imagine using something smaller like an Air now. It's perfection.

One thing that dropped dramatically when I got the pro was playing games. It is just too large for me to game comfortably with it - at least anything that requires two hands. I used to game on my Air and iPad 2 but now I rarely do on the pro and then if I want to play an iOS game I'll do it on my phone. Just something to consider when you are looking at the two sizes. For everything else, though, I definitely prefer the 12.9" pro and am glad I got it (I didn't really have a choice since I had to get the big one - the whole reason I was pumped to get the pro was so that I could look at printed music the same size it would be printed on a piece of paper)

Does anyone know of a good way to get rid of ads on YouTube on the iPad? I can't find any apps that block ads in YouTube. I refuse to pay money for YouTube red or anything else, and I don't know what to do.

ProTube blocks ads, but holy poo poo that is a frustrating app. I feel like it takes about 5 taps on the search bar to get it to register input and my playlists don't sync with the app or YouTube. Still worth the 3 bucks. If only because now when I'm in my garage trying to figure out how to fix something I don't have to wait through an advertisement.

Google are killing the API pro tube uses in April so I'm very worried it's going to lose the background playback.

Not useful for you unless you're on 10.1.x or 10.2, but you can jailbreak and then you have 2 good options for nixing ads on YouTube.app - Cercube 3 and Youtube++ People will poo poo all over this post for mentioning jailbreaking, but blocking app (or Apple) annoyances is basically the last thing that jailbreaking is great for.

Oh no 😑 I love ProTube and never have issues with it, except some videos occasionally needing to play in an alternate player. Background playing is not something I need frequently but I am glad it's there...why are they getting rid of the API?

Ugh. I wonder how many people they wi get to pay - I don't care enough that I will, I would just suck it up and eat the inconvenience. YouTube red is such a bad idea...I miss mid 2000's YouTube.

Only thing I wish the 13 had was a split keyboard. Why the gently caress is it disabled on the only device it would be useful on?

It continues in background tabs, and if you exit Safari it pauses but can continue if you hit play in control center. And for playlists it won't continue on until you switch back to the tab. (And this was mentioned a while ago, but for the auto opening apps, if you open YouTube/whatever app links in a new tab it switches to open links in Safari by default. If you pick to open in app, it seems to switch the default to that)
