So, after my 12.9" 1st gen finally died after 3.5 years (from the symptoms it was displaying since day one, which I should have got looked at in year 1  ), and the Apple store in Amsterdam wanted €550 to repair it (i.e. give me a refurb), I ended up getting the 3rd gen instead. While I'm a bit grumpy about spending the money, this thing is amazing. And I'm getting the pencil for Christmas, which I hear will make it even better. Anyone want to buy a 1st gen that won't switch on?  I've been playing with the external drives thing, is there any way to use an encrypted drive or image, possibly with a third party app? I see that (encrypted) DMGs don't work in the Files app. I'm guessing probably not, since it's taken 12 years to get external drives at all

I got my iPad battery replaced this year, and they sent me a replacement model with a bunch of white spots. Unfortunately I managed to crack the glass/digitizer (first time ever) so Apple won’t replace the screen.

Does Apple still sell the original Smart Keyboard for the og IPad Pro 12.9 (2015) ? It shows as out of stock for me, but I wonder if that’s the same as discontinued forever...? Need one since my old one broke... Edit: I found some Logitech alternative, but would still like to know if Apple sells them or it’s dead to them Comfy Fleece Sweater fucked around with this message at 07:06 on Dec 20, 2019 |

I'll ask if if hasn't been answered the next time I go back to the Apple store because I can't decide if I want the 11" or the 12.9". Either one will be a huge upgrade over my 4th-gen (2012) so I am just being dumb but here we are. The 11's overall dimensions are the same as what I'm used to, but what if I'm missing out on the cool big screen? But what if the cool big screen is tough to travel with, but going with the more portable one would just be optimizing it for the times i'm NOT using it which is silly. And I like drawing so a bigger canvas would be better, but I usually keep that to myself and people could rubberneck the screen easier but

Does anyone have a recommendation for a case or sleeve for the iPad Pro 11 with Smart Keyboard and pencil? I’m travelling quite a lot and I’d prefer some sort of protection whenever I throw it in the bag etc.

Kilometers Davis posted:Always get the bigger screen unless you have a clear and blatant need for a smaller tablet. 12.9” is a fantastic size. Hm, I don’t agree with that statement. It depends on what you expect from your tablet. I bought the first gen 12,9” with your reasoning in mind and used it for a few weeks, forcing myself to use it as the computer replacement that it tried to be. It didnt work out for me - admittedly iOS was more restrictive back then - so I ended up selling it a few months later. This year I bought the cheap new mini and looking back it was my best tech related purchase in a long time. Something about that form factor feels inherently right to me. It doesn’t even try to be a computer replacement but still has the specs one would expect from a current device. Most importantly it is small enough to fit in my pocket, so I often grab it when I leave the house and I’m not sure if I’ll need a computing device or not, despite carrying a plus sized iPhone. I never did that with the large iPad Pro (or any laptop). In my experience the larger ones are great for those looking for a laptop replacement, the smaller ones are great for those looking for something more casual because they do their work on a computer.

I have the 11” and if I could I’d return it for the 12.9”. It seems big but it’s the same size as a 13” MacBook Pro but thin af. With the 12.9” you can split screen two apps in basically full portrait resolution. Split screening on my 11” is claustrophobic and I try to avoid it as much as I can, preferring to swipe back and forth because I just lose too much space. That said I only played with the 12.9” at the Apple store. I don’t know how comfortable it would be at home and on my couch. I never use my 11” in my hands fwiw. If I’m on the sofa it’s propped on my legs or on a pillow. If I’m sitting comfortably in bed it’s still on my legs.

I just got the 12.9” moving up from an Air 2 and it is incredible, that’s all I can say. Still trying to work in the Pencil into my usecase, but work was paying so I have it.

It’s been a little while now and I have to say the Logitech K380 is working out beautifully. Thank you iPad thread! It’s transformed the way I use my iPad to the point where my MBP is collecting dust and I’m seriously considering just going with an iPad Pro instead of a MacBook if I end up going back to school in September. It’s not a full computer replacement but it’s getting extremely close for my needs. (Mostly text documents, email, iMessage, various Safari things, Awful.app) Gonna spend the next couple months looking for things that might be awkward on an iPad Pro but I’m most of the way convinced.

For my money even the new 12.9” is still a little too big. To me the 11” Pro is basically perfect.

The moment when I first reflexively hit alt-tab on the keyboard and it worked was mind blowing stuff.

Not sure if this belongs in this thread or the iPhone one. My wife recently got an iPhone 8 (from a 5s), and ever since, her iPad mini can't send texts. I believe it receives fine, however. How can I fix this?

I just joined team 12.9. Fully the right decision. Also loving the Logitech keyboard and having cellular on an iPad for the first time.

Hmm, I checked both apps on both devices and both the iCloud email and her phone number are set to receive messages and calls. Still can't send texts from the iPad.

I got a new iPad Pro for Christmas and I need a good protective case for it. What’s the current goon-preferred favorite most protective iPad case? I don’t necessarily need a keyboard with it, although I did get an Apple Pencil too so maybe a holder for that wouldn’t be a bad idea (but I’ll happily sacrifice that for extra protection if given a choice). EDIT: Actually, ditto for iPhone cases? I need to replace my iPhone Xs Max’s screen protector and I might as well get a new case for it too, since I want my iPhone and iPad to match. I. M.

TBH just get the apple keyboard case. I don’t know if it’ll actually be a laptop replacement for your needs but it does extremely well with the keyboard.

Someone in the iPhone thread said Logitech Slim Folio Pros are supposed to be good, but I’m wondering if they make a matching iPhone version. Yes, having my iPad and iPhone match is important to me. Because I am a lizard-brained dummy like that. DON’T JUDGE ME!

Weird question. But is there a way to force the thumbnails of apps in the multitasking view to refresh? I’m not even sure how to fully describe it, but somehow when switching between apps, the Messages app on my iPad will *always* display a freeze frame from the message thread with my ex from the weekend our relationship went to poo poo about two months ago. Then if you tap into the Messages app to load it, it’ll immediately switch back to the current message threads from present day. Force closing the app doesn’t change the behavior, and rebooting the iPad also doesn’t change the behavior. This has also persisted through several iOS updates. What’s weird is this isn’t even from the final messages with my ex, rather a week prior to our last communication when we split. And... obviously after a couple months I’m a little tired of being reminded of it every time I try to app switch on my iPad. No other installed app behaves like this either. My only idea at this point is to wipe the iPad and then restore from a backup, but I’d rather not deal with that if there’s something easier I’m missing.

How good is the Logitech Slim Folio Pro as far as drop and impact protection? Especially compared to something like an OtterBox?

My brother is still rocking the 1st gen 12.9 iPad Pro but his pro keyboard finally died. Apple does not seem to sell them anymore for that model so is there a good option for him to buy nowadays? A new keyboard and/or case would be ideal.

I just literally posted about this a few days ago. Short version is he’s out of luck with Apple, will have to scrounge amazon or eBay for Logitech alternatives that still fit the og pro I ordered one but hasn’t arrived, so I can’t recommend it... it’s not even brand new it’s refurbished Edit: it’s sad because the original pro is a loving tank, and still drat fast for daily use

Look long enough on eBay and you'll probably find a reasonably priced used Smart keyboard for the first gen 12.9. And they're old enough now that it's unlikely you'll get one of the 'bad ones'. I've bought a couple of open box Smart covers on eBay and have had good experiences with them.

In case anyone was curious about my Messages app thumbnail question - wipe and restore from backup did the trick. What a poorly timed bug.
