Even if they did, is that really something you want? Is 4K on a 13" screen going to be noticeably better than 1080p?

What’s a Real Doll, but an elaborate iPad holder? Someone who will always keep your tablet close and safe and won’t complain when you take it out of their hands.

Currently have a pro 9.7 that I use for writing and annotating PDFs. Always felt like it was too cramped for those purposes though. How is the 10.5 for writing, does that minimal size bump really make a difference? I would jump to the 12.9 but that's definitely just a tad too big, and a waste of money since it's behind in specs now.

But I noticed the 120hz refresh more than the added screen real estate.

Granted, going from a 9.7 isn't much different but it's something to also keep in the back of my mind. The most important thing is the ease of use when writing. I've used the 12.9 and while it's perfect for writing, god that thing is unnaturally large.

If you don’t like the 12but feel the 9.7 is cramped then I think you’ll like the 10.5 a lot. Like I said, I love the hell out of mine.

The only regret I have about the 10.5 is it can't do a full 8.5 x 11 page. But I wouldn't want the 12 just because the 10 is so much easier to maneuver.

My Pro 9.7 has a powerful battery, but YouTube seems to kill it. Opened the lid last night and saw 98% battery played a video, used slide over to set a 1.5hour timer for Stop Playback. Sure enough, after 90 minutes the video stopped playing and the screen turned off. Went to sleep, woke up to find 43% battery, which iOS 24 hour battery report listed as 99% YouTube and 1% Siri and no other apps, with 90 minutes of screen on time and about 10 hours of background activity. I've turned off YouTube's background refresh and reset the tablet. Hope that fixes it.

I have a large, first gen iPad Pro and had both the home and power buttons stop working tonight. They are working now - this is a serious issue because I use it for work and I am wondering if this is a known issue and also if anyone knows what might have happened. I am a guitarist and was playing a cocktail hour with a violinist. All of my music is on the ipad and if I am playing with another musician, which happens often, I have to have the music accessible quickly or else we just cant play. I was expecting to get it home and plan a trip to the Apple Store but now that it is working again I have no idea if I am supposed to expect this to happen again or not. Eventually on the gig I found that I could plug in a lighting cable from a portable battery (which luckily the violinist had) to get the screen to come on, swipe left to my last used apps on the home screen and then tap one and enter my passcode. The screen worked fine, it just seemed to be the physical buttons. Very concerning.

You can set up a virtual home button in the accessibility menu that will give you at least some access if it happens again. Also keep a battery pack nearby.

Another trick just to get the screen on first is a cover/magnet to replicate the smart cover.

Oh duh, I had my Smart Keyboard but had taken it off and put it in my bag. I was close to panicking since it was a job and thought the whole thing had died at first so I wouldn't have even thought to try that. It does make sense that it would be software though. Thanks for the suggestion - I will back it up and see what happens. At least now I can be prepared if it happens again.

iPad iOS11 question: Anyone figured out how to close sidebar apps? I have a mini 3, so I don't have "true" split screen multitasking like the newer iPads. I figured out how to open a sidebar app but I can't figure out how to close it outside of sweeping it off the screen (which doesn't seem to close it? Dragging down the "_" at the top just makes the icon fade in but it just snaps back.

WithoutTheFezOn posted:Slide right from the left edge of the sidebar? Figured it out. On the Mini 2/3, you can keep one sidebar app in-memory, to replace you just drag an app from the dock to the side. The "_" thing is a lie, you can just switch what side the app is on but I assume on a more powerful iPad, its how you do full split screen multitasking.

I'm looking to sell my 2012 rMBP and get an iPad Pro instead. Right now it would be for browsing, media consumption, and reading textbook material for an online school. I have a Mac Pro at home for any real heavy lifting. I'm looking at the 9.7" 128gb Refurb on Apple's site for $530 but I keep hearing everyone go on and on about the upgraded screen and increased RAM on the 10.5". Going for the 256gb there would be another nearly $300. Thoughts? I don't really have a reference point so I can't say if I would even want or need the other features the 10.5" has. Or is this something that making the jump to the 10.5" is going to get me a much longer life out of it?

Faster processor, bigger screen, 120hz refresh, more storage. It’s not like it’s just storage, if that’s worth the price difference to you, go for it. I’ve owned both the 9.7 and 10.5 and I love the 10.5 and am glad I upgraded.

I'd say get the refurb to try it out, if you're new to tablets you might not fall in love with working that way. If you decide it's for you and you must have the best one 10.5 refurbs will be available by then.

I've owned a couple iPads, the last one I used was the iPad 3. My kids have a Mini 4 and iPad Air 1. I was using the Air 1 this morning for reading some school stuff which is what prompted me to consider ditching the laptop finally. I could probably get by with the 64gb version actually, I just know I don't want the 32gb. Maybe I'll wait until they hit the refurb store. It's been 90 days so they should be showing up pretty soon.

FCKGW posted:I was using the Air 1 this morning for reading some school stuff which is what prompted me to consider ditching the laptop finally. Yeah a big danger of owning an iPad w/ iOS 11 is that your laptop may begin to collect dust. I actually (briefly) either returning the tablet or selling my Macbook just because the iPad is that competitive now. What keeps me hanging on are the handful of websites that absolutely will not work on a mobile browser or some dumb software my school wants that has no mobile app port. e: short unrelated story: I bought an iPad 2017 (nonpro) because I was a little too scared to fully commit to a Pro. I took it home, played with it for a few hours, realized: a) big screen iOS is mega convenient for bed-based media consumption b) non-pro iPad had a greater difficulty running GTA San Andreas than my iPhone 7+ and that *just felt wrong* I went back to the store the same evening and exchanged for a 9.7 Pro. I've toyed around with the idea of getting a 10.5 in the past few weeks but the 120Hz, slightly enlarged screen sound nice but not enough to justify yet another upsell. That and the 9.7 Pro is plenty fast and I cant imagine my apps opening that much faster. buglord fucked around with this message at 00:21 on Sep 20, 2017 |

I guess that makes sense why I can’t drag a list of apps anymore since that was just a list of recent apps Is it just me or was it easier to close a snapped app before. I keep missing swipes all over the place now. Guess I just don’t really get it yet The new control center seems nice though

Not terribly useful example would be the Facebook app which still and seems like it’ll probably never support split view, you can pop over whatever chat window on the side where Facebook just has some random crap over there. A more useful example would be uh, something with Photos as floating app, just could just kinda use it as a floating drag and drop image palette to insert stuff in another app without needing to split the screen up. Otherwise the other multitasking UI changes are split view with the small app able to be on the left, and I think the big iPad Pro can do split view and a floaty window simultaneously (seems possible on my iPad mini 4, but the floating window is modal). Not sure about the other iPad Pros there. You can drag and drop onto the thumbnails in the app switcher, although it’d be more useful without the spring loaded folder like delay.

Hi thread, I just inherited an iPad Mini 4 and have no idea what to do with it. I think I would mostly use it for reading articles (mostly PDF, maybe .epub - what are the best apps for this), and for playing games. But I am also open to 1) making it look cool, 2) making it do other cool things. So basically, what are some must-have apps, and what else should I know about this thing? Oh, I should say that I have an Android phone and no other Apple products so no interconnectivity.
