Electric Bugaloo posted:Didn’t they also switch the port from 30-pin to lightning? I forget if the 3rd gen was "The new iPad" or "iPad with Retina display", technically the latter works but I think they used that name for the 4th. I remember trading an iPad in to Target or Best Buy and had a laugh when the menu had "The new iPad" in it.

I recently found my old iPad 3 but don’t own a 30 pin cable to charge it. I never realized that it was viewed as such a bad product but it makes sense now. It shall now sit on my desk as a reminder not to buy the $300 iPad until it has USB-C.

Has anyone used the new Pro with a USB-C monitor? I’ve got a 4K screen and I currently put my MacBook through it, usually for browsing and videos, and it isn’t exactly super smooth. I tried my current iPad with Airplay but in Safari when I start a video and then change tabs on the iPad screen it pauses the video; does that happen on the USB-C connection? Ideally I’d like to have it hooked up with a wireless keyboard for typing stuff in while I’m doing other stuff on my PC elsewhere. You’ve all made me feel very guilty for passing down an old iPad 3 to my dad so I am more likely to upgrade now. I asked him and he just uses his phone and kindle instead.

I'm gonna throw Ivory out there as the best YouTube client for iOS, since it does background audio and PiP without having to pay for youtube red, even though the app does cost $2.99 to get, but thats worth it for me to not have to pay a subscription to google for making absolutely awful "content" that I will never watch. And as for game, any option that isn't Pocket City is wrong. Check out GamePlay too, it's a website that uses HTML5 and Google Drive to create a fully usable Gameboy in the iOS browser. Not exactly limited to iPads since its perfect for iPhones as well. It has some limitations due to being browser based, such as being unable to survive the app being closed, but once you know to save before exiting (like a real Gameboy back in the day) it works great.

Feenix posted:I like Ivory too but it still has some weird bug where it won’t play anything above 720p for me and sometimes you have to restart videos if you do something cuz it’ll black screen. I think it's because it's basically abusing the YouTube embed API which can limit resolution available to offsite users, hence why Ivory won't play stuff over 720p sometimes. The PiP is the biggest reason I use it though so the resolution being limited doesn't really get to me. I guess if 1080p matters a lot to someone they can use the site for that. Ivory ain't for everyone but it gives me the features I want.

Yeah I was going to guess whatever weirdness with that app has something to do with the way it uses/abuses the API. sorta like how all of those YouTube downloader sites can only do 720p

There's also some shortcut someone made to PiP stuff but shortcuts are a bit annoying to get to. *It was on for me but it's in experimental features section of Safari settings so I'm not sure it's meant to be a default thing or not. Occasionally it does some weird stuff with other players, and some players have annoying controls not really meant for touch, so there's a little loss there.

I got this one today: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07J4L893T I am super happy with it so far. That color appears to be out of stock but they make other ones. I don't have an apple pencil yet to test with, but all accounts say it's compatible. I was a bit worried about the magnets holding it onto the ipad properly, but it seems to do a great job so far and I had to give it a pretty good shake while holding it upside down to get it to come off accidentally. It was easy enough to separate intentionally, though. It feels very good, fits very well, and I have zero issues with smart lock. It's not the cheapest case out there but so far it is excellent!

Edit: As a warning, the size was listed wrong on the box for mine - it said 10.5 (as all the other reviews say as well) but it was perfectly correct. I don't think the 12.9 will have that same "problem" but you never know.

My son has a 2017 iPad, are there any Wacoms that are compatible with it? He's already a really talented artist at seven. His cousin who does it professionally told us that the earlier we can get him used to the Wacom the better off he will be as that's been a huge challenge for her transitioning off of paper.

I haven't looked into it but I can almost guarantee there aren't. The 2018 iPad is compatible with the Apple Pencil though which is functionally very similar. Also personally as someone else who does this professionally I'd disagree with his cousin. Drawing tablets take a bit of getting used to but it's nothing insurmountable, and at that age I think getting the foundations in with physical media is way more important.

So I finally unboxed my keyboard case and while it is just as great to type on as the first one what in the gently caress were they thinking when you have to hold it with the keys facing out? It really feels like they do not want to you use it as a case when not in keyboard mode. Not sure if I am going to keep it at this point but it is a drat nice keyboard.

It drove me nuts for probably 3 weeks every time I had it in tablet mode. Then I got over it. I expect you probably will too, although it really is an annoying design choice (albeit probably a necessary one in the pixelbook's case).

For the OP, technically Wacom makes styluses for iPad but they suck like any other non Pencil stylus (other than the Logitech Crayon maybe, which uses the same tech but more limited). If his cousin was using those Wacoms maybe that’s why transitioning off paper was so hard  quote:Also personally as someone else who does this professionally I'd disagree with his cousin.

The challenge she had was drawing on the Wacom and it appearing on the screen, so she was suggesting that the earlier he learned that the better. But your points are really dang good about getting all of the fundamentals with real paper first before even worrying about it. She was in her 20s when she transitioned, at my sons rate he'd probably be on these things in his teens with no hiccup. Wife is scoping Xmas presents and wants to cultivate his artistic talents so this was a nice option, but since there's no good solution for iPad except to buy a new one, that may be out. We already are getting him a bunch of 'analog' art supplies and stuff. Last year the kid only wanted staples and markers. He doesn't just draw, he 'builds' things with paper. So awesome.

It's not really news that an ipad might bend if you sat on it, but I guess it's nice to have a video of exactly how hard that would be to do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUBsxCcJeUc&t=375s

My last iPad bent when I forgot I'd placed it on the front seat of my car before I got in. It's pretty easy to do, but I'd take 'not being a forgetful idiot' over it being thicker and heavier any day.
