All I'm saying is the gen2 to 3 upgrade isn't worth it unless you have money to burn and really really want the double tap of the new pencil and better charging.

The bend thing isn't that big of a deal but it's definitely not a great look for Apple and I'm usually quick to defend them.

Definitely nothingburger.

I was going to say that failure to lie flat on a table would annoy the poo poo out of me, but I didn't realize that recent iPads now come with an iPhone-style camera bump that prevents it from ever lying flat anyway. :lol:

Having recently dug up a couple of still-functioning 1st gen iPads here at work - they need to use THAT form factor again. Chunky enough to hold a battery 2-3x the capacity of current ones, stupidly thick aluminum frame, and a screen that can be popped off instead of being glued down.

Even if it just had iPad 6 guts, it'd sell to the kinds of companies that have service workers that carry around iPads.

But it seems like most people want them thinner and thinner, so that's not going to happen.

Oh no
I find it difficult to believe there’d be a situation where an offered iPad Chunky has an advertised battery life that’s longer than their newest premium model.

Besides, in Apple's mind I’m guessing there’s already an “industrial iPad”, it’s an iPad + AppleCare.

In my repair shop, they come in with Airs and Air 2s mostly. The Air 2 ones are the worst because the fused screens are so expensive.

Any broken Mini that comes in is for a kid. I keep telling the one guy with a Mini 4 (which also had a fused screen) that his kid keeps breaking to get him a 5 or 6 instead, but he just keeps holding on to this one and getting it fixed for $250 every time.

So because these aren’t as bent as some it’s automatically nothing? People have been posting on reddit with some way more obviously bent devices.

Don’t know why people are going to the mat for apple or blowing the situation off on this one. For the prices they charge for the new Pro, these little intolerances are just unacceptable. A $1000+ slab should be straight, period.

Then get it replaced. Super easy to get with Apple.

Personally, mine was fine and flat.

I’m looking for an app (or apps) that will teach me how to draw/write more legibly. Any suggestions? Mostly interesting in learning to draw/paint/whatever but calligraphy would be a cool thing too.

I notice that sometimes a letter doesn't go when I think it should but I've attributed it to sloppy typing and not being used to the iPad keyboard yet. How the hell did you turn on haptic feedback though? I didn't think it was an option on iOS?

Sorry, just meant I have Keyboard Clicks on in Settings, which makes both a haptic and a noise, seems to me.

I got a new Pro 12.9 inch 256 today.


Where is the best place to sell my old one (preferably the case and pencil) FB Marketplace? Craigslist? etc?Gazelle claims I can get about 250 for the iPad itself. Can I do much better elsewhere?

Gazelle will not give you a good trade in, avoid them.

Hey what’s the way to go on a case? My old pro had the keyboard case and I NEVER used the keyboard but I did like the propped up viewing. I’m hearing more mixed opinions on the new KB case.... I just want slim and prop-able.

Gotcha - maybe I'll play with that to see if I can mute it most of the time because I love haptics but hate keyboard noises on tablets or whatever. Which is weird since I still use my ibm model m at work. Thanks!

I have no idea - that's why I was asking in the first place. I've never turned on the keyboard sound because it would drive me nuts, I was just hoping I could get haptics on the keyboard. If it's not a thing then ok then :shrug:

I'm not much of an iOS user outside of the iPad, my last iPhone was the 3G one.

If I need a keyboard, I just grab my K811.

Huh; I assumed the Keyboard Click was both a haptic and a sound. I guess the speakers are just good enough to make it feel like a "thunk" when you type on this thing.

Had to press the g key five times this morning to get it to type. Good times!

Is there a way to make my iPad silent (notification sound wise) when the iPad is locked, smart covered, or face down, but not silent when it’s not any of those? There’s an option in Settings -> DND for this but that seems to only be for DND mode.

Is there a reason you don't want to just leave it in DND? I do that with my iPads. If you turn that setting on which still lets notifications appear when unlocked, the device pretty much functions normally when you're using it, aside from the little moon icon in the status bar.
