From one review I saw it's basically a computer in itself and can do auto file organization and transcoding, cloud backup, can act as a USB-C drive or network drive, etc.

Just loaded 13.4 and my mouse set up under accessibility just worked right away. I disabled the accessibility feature and no problems. Curious though, not sure where the settings for hot keys went as I’ve lost the mapping for dock/expose/home screen for my other buttons. Has anyone found those?

This is clearly an after-thought for mice over trackpads, which probably makes sense. You can't 'drag and pull' like you can in accessibility mode. For instance, since my mouse doesn't have a horizontal scroll I can't move through the expose screen. That magic trackpad looks like the best external solution in absence of the magic keyboard.

Holy poo poo using a mouse with my iPad is weeeiiird. There’s a lot I still can’t do. Got a 25 minute (!) tutorial vid on in the background to try to figure out how to do poo poo like go to the home screen or get out of notifications. Still, iOS is better at recognizing the extra buttons on my Logi 720 than my Mac is so there’s that. Edit: I take it partially back. iPad is better at recognizing/customizing buttons 3-5 but can’t seem to recognize button 6 (secret thumb button I didn’t even know was there), which the Mac automatically appears to recognize and has mapped to Mission Control View, though I can’t change it or edit it or even see it in the System Prefs. 3, 4, & 5 are awol on MacOS, and I assume will remain so unless I download Logitech’s stupid app. Mac can do side to side scrolling, iPad unfortunately can’t. 7/10 would not recommend for msrp $50 but would for the $20 I got it at Costco for I guess Edit 2: Ok turns out MacOS was picking them all up- button 3 defaults to "middle button" which is nothing for MacOS unless your app has a thing for it, 4+5 default to Forward/Back (again, app context specific) and Button 6 can be set to whatever in the Logi app but is default a "gesture button" and therefore not recognizable in iOS (my hunch is that might change if you reprogram it in the app first but I don't wanna do that). I actually really like the gesture button thing- it basically lets you use your non-touch enabled mouse to do trackpad gestures when you press it, hence it was turning on Mission Ctrl. If you swipe the mouse when pressing it it'll do whatever your trackpad gestures are set to. That's nifty. 8/10, because their documentation and guidance on this is garbage and virtually nonexistent and gently caress having to download control apps. trilobite terror fucked around with this message at 16:58 on Mar 25, 2020 |

Unwrapped the 2020 Pro. Functionally no difference, as expected. I was pleased to see that even though it doesn't fit properly, I can still use the existing keyboard cover from my 2018 Pro to magnetically attach and type. It just separates from the cover where the new camera bulge obviously can't fit. I half expected Apple to do a "this accessory isn't compatible with your iPad" garbage. So now I can safely hold out for my $300 trackpad cover.

Yeah, this is just me replacing the 2018 Pro that work assigned me with a 2020 Pro which I intend to use as a personal device. Until I get the touchpad folio I’m just swiping the keyboard cover from my 2018.

Is there a program yet that allows me to use an Apple Pencil on a word doc, or pages, and edit words (like you would with real pen and paper) and then the corrected word pops in to the old words place? Because that would be a game changer for me as a writer. Or is that rumored for the next version of IPad os?

New iPad is wonderful. I’m using the magic trackpad2 and the folio keyboard and the muscle memory is like any other Mac for me right now. Are there any app developers who’ve announced any cool plans for the LIDAR sensor yet? Also oops I ordered a usb-c to lightening cable because I didn’t realize you could pair the trackpad with just Bluetooth, like an idiot. I guess I learned badly from an old pre-13.4 tutorial.

Anyone have tips on migrating cell plans between iPads with the physical SIM card? I went from a 10.5” pro to the new gen 2 11”, moved over the sim and no dice. Of course the att activation site isn’t working and support is so busy they just say to try again later...

As far as tips, I know this isn’t helpful in the least but I literally swapped the SIM from my work Pro into my personal Pro and it Just Works(tm). Just tested the SIM from my iPad5 into my Pro as well and that also works. If we weren’t in the end times I would say go visit the Apple Store because that seems like something that shouldn’t be giving you trouble. Maybe make sure the SIM is seated correctly and that there’s no tarnish on the SIM contacts to start?

I'm fine using it naked and putting it away, in which case I assume any padded laptop sleeve is fine, or are there padded sleeves specific to 12.9" ipads? Use cases are mostly around viewing sheet music or connected to a midi keyboard, so it'll either be sitting on a music stand or clipped into a holder. With the camera bump it doesn't sit flat on the stand, but that doesn't bother me too much. I do wonder if the cameras will eventually get scratched if they're resting on a metal stand all the time.

I really really like Herschel’s zippered iPad sleeves. Super cushy and padded- prices often fluctuate between $20-$40 but I got my old one for $12. Often specific patterns/sizes/retailers have discounts. I used an iPad Air totally naked for five years without ever accumulating so much as a scratch by just making a point to put it back in its sleeve when not in use. I gave my sleeve to my mom when I gave her my old iPad Air. Since then I’ve been using a $10 gray felt case from Amazon with my 2018 iPad. I was going to get another Herschel but I wanted to wait and see if I found something that I liked that would let me easily store the gen 1 Pencil with it (no magnetic biz, it just rolls around). The Amazon case is nothing special at all but it’s held up more than well enough and I can shove the Pencil in one of the pockets and so I’ve just sort of left it. But I do intend to find a better case at some point- or just get comfortable leaving the Pencil in one of my backpack’s pen pockets or whatever.

I'm not really familiar with Apple release schedules, is there a new Air expected this year? I'm thinking about replacing my Android tablet and the Air looks like the sweet spot between price and performance but the current model is already a year old.

Can you spend a little more and look at the refurb/new old stock 2018 iPad Pro? Now that the new one’s out without many under-the-hood changes that model looks like a really good value proposition if you’re already considering stepping up to the Air from the base model.

Goddamn it, I was waiting for this new iPad Pro to replace my utterly broken OG iPad Air and now they are saying this is an incremental upgrade and there might be ANOTHER major revision this year. Should I wait until then? Because I doubt it will even come out this year because of plagueworld and watching stuff on my phone is getting pretty old.

If you need it now, then just get it. It’s not really worth obsessing with how soon the next refresh is going to come out especially if one literally came out last week. If you’re really worried about it being “old” go buy a refurb where the age is priced in.

Soooo every iPad app should be forced to support split screen. It’s amazing to be watching YouTube/Twitch and browsing awful app, Apollo or whatever. More games need to support it. So far just threes and egg inc use it that I’ve found.

The "new" ipad Pro has really made me realize how much I still love my 2018 ipad pro. It's so loving good. The refresh is a major skip for me. If you're in the market just get a refurbished 2018 pro for half the price unless you... really like AR (??) or taking pictures with your ipad (?????)

I really suspect the AR stuff is Apple getting hardware and software for their future smart glasses designs out there in the wild so it can be stress-tested ahead of actually putting it into the glasses form factor.

I’m strictly working from home now and my business is basically client consulting all the time. Webcams are sold out pretty much everywhere and the one in my 2012 MacBook Air is very grainy. Luckily I have a 10.5 iPad Pro I’ll use for video conferencing, but I am getting stuck trying to figure out a decent way to implement it - especially considering the audio. Has anyone else used an iPad this way? I sort of figured out it might be a good idea to get a mount for it, keep it plugged in with a 10’ charging cable, and pick up some wireless headphones. I’m not sure if the mic on the iPad is good enough, or if any wireless ear phones are good besides expensive AirPods, or if lightning splitter adaptors are reliable if I use wired earbuds instead.

Has anyone else used an iPad this way? All of it sounds good honestly. Just do whatever you like best. I’ve done a bunch of Zoom meetings from my iPad and iPhone with both wired (regular old EarPods) and wireless (Plantronics BackBeats Fit from Costco) headsets not really designed for streaming with zero problem. I’m sure a nicer headset or USB mic would work even better. Built-in is probably fine but maybe have a headset on hand. Definitely err on the side of keeping the device plugged in (cheap USB/lightning splitter may be clutch here) if you can, streaming can chew through your battery.
