my current iPad is an iPad mini 6th gen. last iPad I had before this one was an iPad Air 2 I think? I have one of the pro max iPhones, which has a screen nearly the size of my iPad mini


afaik the iPad mini doesn’t have stage manager support since it’s using an a15 processor and iirc stage manager requires an m1?

right

stage manager is very different, but imo it's not good. there's split-screen pseudo-tiling that you can use instead, which works a lot better i think

but if you're familiar with using modern ios on a pro max iphone, or even just the current ipad mini, then you're pretty familiar with how modern ipados is, it'll just be a lot faster. the m-series chips make a huge difference. but there are also some multitasking gestures and poo poo that'll be new to you

e: stage manager sucks for other reasons too, but one is apparently because my ipad air has 8 gb of ram. but so does the 6th gen and afaict the 7th gen 11" ipad pro. apple doesn't say anything about ram on the tech specs page and wikipedia says "8 GB, 16 GB". so unless they give you more ram if you pay for more storage, which is just lovely, then i assume the 13" has 16 gb

the M4 with 256GB and 512GB of storage is a 9-core CPU (3-perf, 6-efficiency) with 8GB of RAM while the 1TB and 2TB models are a 10-core CPU (4-perf, 6-efficiency) with 16GB of RAM. it’s outlined on the iPad comparison page https://www.apple.com/ipad/compare/


the other part of why I think I tend to gravitate to my phone the more I think about it is the mini’s screen quality just can’t touch the iPhone’s. lcd instead of oled, 60Hz instead of 120Hz, no HDR, only 500-nits of brightness. iPhone just trounces it, while the new iPad Pro display is probably better than what’s on my phone

lol christ poo poo like this pisses me off. not everyone needs a ton of storage but ios apps are memory hogs and multitasking just makes it worse, so everyone could use more ram. it'd probably only cost apple a few dollars more but then at least everyone gets the same, smooth experience and everyone would like it more. i don't think stebe would've been down with this for that reason

then yes, i am sure you will love it. everything i've read about the pros say the screen is incredible, and tbh even lovely oleds trounce the ipad mini's screen. my dad has one, it's a pretty crappy lcd

depends on which model of mbp it is. if it's got that dumbshit butterfly key then you're probably hosed. you can certainly try compressed air though, i don't see that hurting anything more than it already is

yeah that has the butterfly switch. good luck with the compressed air. the "good thing" is that Apple has a keyboard service program so even though the thing is out of standard warranty it might be covered if it's a failure of the butterfly switch mechanism

why are ios shortcuts the only way to filter photos i didn't take with the phone camera into a separate "not camera roll" album

why is there no camera roll album

why does the ios shortcuts app feel so buggy and half-baked. it doesn't seem to even save my edits half the time

you can sort by camera model, but afaict you need to do a search for (at the very least) specific manufacturers first. i don't think there's any way to invert the query filter

but then again, it is apple photos. they want you to see the photos you took with your apple equipment first and foremost, having functionality to import photos taken with other equipment is just a bonus feature

e: speaking of missing letters having a chihuahua sit on your chest will do that too it seems

yeah I don't really mind not being able to filter by camera model but i do want the ability to clean up all the shitposts, saved pictures from failed copy-pastes, and screenshots I've accumulated over time (on top of the actual on-device screenshots)

and an authoritative "yes i took it with this phone and not another iPhone of the same model number that someone might have sent to me" would be nice

well, the search is actually more powerful than it seems. you can search for "screenshot" and it'll show you results it thinks are screenshots (sometimes even pictures of screens), etc.

i'd love to clean mine up too but since automating it doesn't really seem possible and i have 2 TB, meh lol

i think you can also find pictures you took vs. ones from other sources because i've seen "from (contact)" on pics i've saved from messages, but idk how

i ended up hacking together this terrible shortcut that processes images 100 at a time and tries to determine whether it was taken with the camera by checking if the "camera make" EXIF field was filled in. it catches photos i import off my actual camera but that's fine

i tried to find photos with no limit on the result set but there seems to be some superlinear step that gets dramatically slower the larger the query result set gets so i just loop over it a bunch of times :downs:

it's a little noisy if you have stretches of time where you only have camera photos but i thought it was better than wondering if the process was frozen. you can delete that notification action if you care

https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/f04a9234c7864eb3942ce85268b03d33

it should handle running over and over again and shouldn't duplicate photos in your library but no promises

it was an acquisition which they struggled greatly to integrate and so they spent a few years on that instead of on things like making the app work better
