Swappa is the best of the bunch but if the value is within $100 I just trade it in.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:$535 seems comically little for a 256 iPad Pro 3rd gen trade in but I might just bite it for the convenience of not having to deal with people and make the jump to the new one. Out of curiosity I put in the serial for our first gen air and they'd give me $90 for it. That's only 2/3 what it lists for on the secondhand market but is way more than I would expect for something that's 7 years old. (especially because I've traded in watches with Apple before and they give you a bag of peanuts for them)

Hey I have an iPad Mini 2, and I´m looking into upgrading. Is the iPad mini (5th generation) a good bet or should I wait for the next model?

Yeah, sucks but don’t buy the mini, it’s too old. Wait, or get the Air. Or find a good deal on all the apple people selling their iPad Pro 11s.

If a next model exists it will be quite the upgrade, if it exists. I’d maybe wait until September when the next Airs get announced, the air and the mini often get matching upgrades at the same time with the mini skipping a generation here and there.

Asked during the event thread but I’ll reask here: If an M1 powers Mac minis, MacBooks, and iMacs, does that make an iPad just a Mac with an altered form factor and touch UI?

The accessories page is showing magic keyboard and most of the other ipad accessories as compatible with 3rd/4th/5th gen. It's looking a lot like the form factor is completely unchanged for the M1s.

My only kind of worry is that I just bought a SketchBoard Pro a while back and now the new iPad Pro will most likely not fit quite right in it.  Here's hoping it's not too bad.

Again it looks like it’s the same form factor, but only time will tell. I also bought one of those and a) it owns and b) they committed to making additional liners for future devices for like, 30 bucks that you can swap out with a hex key in a couple of minutes.

Bummer about no mini-LED on the 11" but I'm definitely getting that first day it's up on the store. 12.9" is just way too big for travel -- might as well take my laptop at that point.

Anyone else notice that the screen gradually dims a bit when playing a YouTube video? It goes back up to normal when you pause, and then dims back when resuming. The only thing I’ve found googling is that the iPad can do this to prevent overheating, but I didn’t think YouTube would be that intensive. This is a 2020 12.9 Pro.

If I need to get my iPad exchanged because of a faulty screen (separate from my earlier complaint) is there any chance I could get this year’s model? Maybe smaller size to compensate for the price difference. Or is that unlikely? I’ve never dealt with apple cs before. Rinkles fucked around with this message at 14:17 on Apr 21, 2021 |

Maybe smaller size to compensate for the price difference. Or is that unlikely. No way. Warranty’s are always for the same model, and apple has no incentive to give you a free upgrade. Getting repaired will of course mean you can then turn around and trade it in , but yeah you’ll pay the price difference.

Thought so, thanks. Is the battery on the Pro not so great? My brother always told me he never has to think about the battery on his (he has the smallest non-mini), but on mine I wouldn’t mind having a power saver mode. Also it gets pretty warm even when just using the awful app.

I wonder if they'll ever make a mini with an updated design. The bigger ones are a bit much for me, I use mine for reading, language learning and its usually what I grab to look stuff up when I'm around the house. I bought my mum the new Air to replace her old Pro and as much as I like it it's still a bit too big for what I'd want it for.

I've been thinking of getting myself the iPad Air 4th gen but, well, now the 11 inch Pro 3rd gen looks pretty interesting. For The tick tock for refresh cycle means we probably shouldn't expect an iPad or iPad Air update until next year, right? Murgos fucked around with this message at 16:18 on Apr 21, 2021 |

Are did some deep dive for the extra features missed in the event. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/04/here-are-the-updates-that-didnt-make-it-in-apples-livestream-yesterday/ There’s a new approach to RAM in the iPad Pro Historically, Apple has been nothing short of cagey about how much RAM its mobile devices have. The company has usually preferred to keep its marketing message focused on something other than hardware specs, and Apple enthusiasts have long maintained that X gigabytes of RAM on an iPhone are not really comparable to the same amount on, say, an Android device, given various differences. FURTHER READING iPad Pro gets M1 chip, “Liquid Retina” mini-LED screen But Apple took a different course with the M1 iPad Pro, listing both 8GB and 16GB configurations. Oddly, these are not explicitly selected at purchase. Rather, they're tied to storage configurations, which have been the main configuration points for iPads in the past. The 256GB and 512GB models of both the 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro have 8GB of RAM, while the 1TB and 2TB configurations have twice that much: 16GB. Apple doesn't present this information at point of sale, but it is listed on the iPad Pro's spec sheet just a click away. Apple has done this before, but it didn't previously expose this in its specs pages. Now, I can’t see an iPad needing more than 8GB of RAM, but that’s a really interesting tidbit.

If you need that much storage on an iPad then it’s probably because you’re doing some sort of serious A/V stuff, which in that case those apps can be very RAM hungry.

I hope you're serious about doing on work on an iPad at that point because you're coughing up $1800 for the privilege of having that 16GB of ram. That's well into laptop/desktop price range. It would be pretty awesome for the pro to fully function as a laptop, but it's not quite there yet. It's definitely packing the hardware for it, so hopefully they keep cranking away at the OS to further blur the lines between OSX and iOS. (Tim, please fix the external monitor support)

Now you have tablets and computers with the same guts. MacOS apps that are just tweaked iOS apps. I would imagine apps that are M1 native just need to be changed a little to be iOS apps. It's almost to the point now where the MacOS and iOS experiences and features are the same. The difference now is just if the device you're using suits your needs.
