First piece of the ACAB series of my iPad Pro came in.



Edit:

Also I am conflicted about screen protectors. Considering a matte one. Though I dunno how much writing I'll be doing the tactile response sounds like it would be really nice for writing in search boxes. How much would something like a Paperlike effect the TV and Movie watching experience?

My Pencil came in today.



Two more weeks for the ipad itself. I am dying of wait :(

When I put my screen protector on, can I just peel the factory sticker off and skip the wet wipe?

I really loved the Paperlike 2 but it definitely gives it that matte screen look. But it felt so so good when drawing on it.

How are the viewing angles on it?

Goddamnit. Two specs of dust caught under there. :argh:

Once its finished charging I'll give it a spin and see if they bother me.

They're there off in a corner. I dont notice them while watching youtube or Netflix. If they continue to not be a bother then whatever.

iPad pro 12.9 is the best tv I've ever bought. The speakers on it are great. And I like how taking out an airrpod automatically pauses things.

I'd be more interested in the magic keyboard if it worked with the smart folio.

When I watch Prime Video the time and date, battery and bottom app bar thing all stay up. Anybody know how I fix it?

Magic keyboard does look cool but it takes up laptops amount of space with it. And also if you take it off the keyboard, then it's naked and that's no good.

I've been an Android person since the start of smartphones, and anti-apple since itunes ate my music collection because I plugged in a brand new ipod. But when looking at tablets Apple really is the only decent option IMHO.

I'm too cheap for a proper keyboard so I found this to use on my android.

Edit: the touchpad works very well. The keyboard is kinda spotty. I fixed most of my issues by disabling autocorrect and auto complete on the ipad. For the buck fifty I paid I'm happy.

I just want to say dont buy your 9 year old an ipad pro. I'm 35 and it's almost wasted on me. The only way I can justify it is that I watch a lot of TV on it and the speakers are better than some TVs I've owned.

Regardless of what kind it ipad you get your kid though, AppleCare for sure. If you can't afford the extra $50 or whatever it is, you definitely cant afford the $400 to replace it due to whimsy.

So far not impressed. It hosed with my widget panel on the homescreen, removed my shortcuts from it and is also trying to automatically display pictures in it.

Who wants their device to scour it's memory for pics and display them at random?

Edit: Batteries widget sucks now.

Edit 2: Seriously though, how the gently caress do I put my shortcuts back?

Edit 3: Found it. Press and hold, and hit the plus in the upper left. But looks worse than it did 20 minutes ago.

I really don't like what they did to the widgets and today view. Things are bulkier and uglier and seems to offer less flexibility. Scribble is rad though.

Magic keyboard should work with the apple folio. If it did I might have picked one up. But imho it's only kinda half mobile after keyboard detaching.

I only got a couple specs under my screen protector, thankfully they're near the edges of the screen and I never actually see them.

I still don't understand screen protectors on a tablet.. I use my iPad Air 4 for Procreate and I'm 100% sure it'd eat through those $20 nibs from Apple like sandpaper...

I know a lot of other artists LOVE Paperlike but...

I need one because my primary use is as a TV in a shed and often time weed or grit gets stuck to the cover when it's being a stand and then pressed into the screen when closed. I also like the reduced glare the paperlike gives.

I honestly can't say as I didn't even turn my iPad on before putting a screen protector on it. But I haven't had any complaints about the quality of the image. I was very concerned about it, but I don't think you should be.

I so wish the the regular expensive basic iPad case was compatible with the magic keyboard. I might have splurged for that. But the thought have having to switch between them annoys me.

The new one is just around the corner. Even if you buy the newest released in a few weeks, an even never one is going to come soon.

Also anyone have a good app for learning to draw? I have a pro and a pencil but I am poo poo at drawing and thought maybe there is an app that has some lessons..


I'm not an artist at all, but I drew this with Procreate with this tutorial.

Switching between two apps isn't terrible. Anything more than that is end of times though. But I think I might be defective because I have a hell of a time even opening the screen that shows all the open apps.

I think it’s clicked now, to the extent that using my iPhone 8 with its home button now feels awkward (and I keep trying to wake it by tapping the screen, which is, yes, a much more convenient way to unlock).

Depending on tiredness/intoxication levels I sometimes find myself trying to four finger swipe between apps on my Android phone.

I'd highly recommend a screen protector with smart cover unless you're only putting it down on immaculate surfaces.

Only takes once to get some damage if you're unlucky. Or you could wipe the table every time you put your iPad down.

I'm rewatching Good Place on Netflix and when there's around 100 seconds left the screen goes black but I still get audio. Closing and restarting gives me a second of visuals before it goes blank.

I've tried the reset button in settings, removing Netflix and restarting my iPad pro. Any ideas?
