Discussion Guys we have the perfect iPad now

iPad mini finally getting external display support. And I don't care about the lack of 120hz or anything. It's small size, with OLED, with the ability to expand canvas on demand, it's perfect.

But the price is 999 SGD. Ah, blame the RAM prices.

999 SGD but no 120hz, 128GB storage as base, no Face ID, and iPadOS is half baked since OS 26 with windowed apps (bring back Split View!).

Greddy Apple as usual. But sheep's will buy it

Duo is 1999 starting with oled, 120hz, 256gb storage

iPhone 18 pro max is $1299 with the same specs and iPad mini is $699 with oled but 128gb starting and 60hz lol.

Should I take advantage of the att $1200 promo for my base iPhone 15 trade in?

Question iPad for my two kids -9 and 10

0 Upvotes

Looking for advice- I want to get my two kids iPads for Christmas. They are 9 and 10 and going to want Disney , Netflix, YouTube, Minecraft, and a few other apps. I dont necessarily want to get them brand new ones, but want to make sure they can use them for at least a few years ( with updates, battery life, storage etc).

Is there a specific generation to look into ( or avoid) if I’m looking for used or refurbished ones?

Discussion Apple, please make the iPad line make sense

205 Upvotes

Remove the Air name and change the regular iPad to iPad Neo so the mini's place in the lineup makes more sense, because "iPad mini" sounds like a smaller version of the budget iPad whereas it's more like an iPad Air mini currently.

Discussion It doesn't matter that most people don't care about 60hz, the Ipad mini should still be 120hz given the price.

309 Upvotes

The amount of people i'm seeing defending apple for the new ipad mini being 60hz is honestly insane.

You have to remember just how much the ipad mini costs. This isn't a $200 android.

Even if 80% of the people don't care its 60 hz, at this price point it should be a given. Apple is just being cheap/trying to differentiate the pros.

Question I decided to give my second monitor for my Mac to my son for his room, and am now running an iPad Pro M5 for all alternate screen jobs. It's a bit of a mixed bag, and I'm very happy with it but miss the second monitor, nonetheless. Looking for anyone with tips / ideas to better the experience.

The iPad has been awesome for note taking, great as a second monitor, but there's no accounting for size. I used to run a vertical 28" Gigabyte monitor, and as much as I like the iPad - a lot - I'm not sure I can recommend the iPad strictly because of the OS. It's better, but it's just so heinously limited compared to MacOS. Is it good to have a mobile, Dual OLED screen with all my cloud synced stuff on it? Oh, yes. Yes, it's good.

But still .... if you've got any tips to improve my experience I'd love to hear them.

My Setup Anyone else still using this guy?

I got this iPad 2 a few days ago and it’s working pretty well honestly

Initially I had iOS 6 on it but I broke the install so I decided to restore it and downgrade to iOS 8.4.1 and give it a shot. It’s working pretty well and I’ve been using it now for a while like this. Mostly YouTube and some games. Sure not the latest, YouTube is not the highest quality but for 20$ I’m not complaining and it’s a good introduction to iPads for me since I’ve never used one in my life.

So what are your opinions on the iPad 2?

Discussion The new iPad mini’s landscape camera is another frustrating Apple compromise

0 Upvotes

The new iPad mini moves its front camera to the landscape edge, which means it sits awkwardly on the side when the device is held in portrait. For a small tablet that many people naturally use in portrait, this feels like another poor Apple decision.

Sometimes it feels as if Apple intentionally leaves one obvious thing out so people keep wishing for the next version. I am a longtime 13-inch iPad Pro user and use my iPad throughout almost every day, but I absolutely hate the front-camera placement and rarely use it for FaceTime. Apple could have kept a portrait-oriented camera or added a second front camera for portrait use. Instead, it saves the cost while the device remains expensive.

My biggest frustration on the iPadOS side is still the removal of the classic Slide Over and Split View experience from iPadOS 18. I have no interest in the newer windowing system, just as I never used Stage Manager. Apple should bring the old multitasking system back as an option instead of forcing everyone into desktop-style windows.

Does anyone else prefer the old camera placement and the classic Slide Over/Split View system?

Hi guys, new here in reddit. Just wanted to ask if you have any recommendations regarding screen protector? I’ve used generic/non branded and the smart devil. I don’t want the notch cutout on the screen protector, is there any screen protector out there without the notch cutout? What i want is like a punch hole cutout type for the front facing microphone only. Thank you guys! 🤍

I just saw my iPad light up on the homepage without entering passcode, and after that it didn’t require passcode to unlock. You can see in the video I set require passcode immediately. It’s fixed after restarting.
Anyone encountered this before? iPad Pro m5 newest os.

Discussion Debating on trading in my iPad Pro 13” for the iPad Mini.

6 Upvotes

I used to use it daily with the keyboard and pencil. Was basically my work device for a LONG time. I then picked up a MBA and I really don’t use my iPad much anymore. What I do use it for more than most things are reading manga, a bit of 3d design (shapr3d) and my daughter watches some shows occasionally.

The 13” Pro is just too big for me to use without the keyboard honestly. Thinking of swapping and keeping the pencil to use with the iPad Mini for when I do 3d design on it. It’ll probably be 75% manga device really.

How’s the new Mini shaping up?

Buried in Apple’s press release is that the OLED iPad Mini is getting proper (non-mirrored) external display support with iPadOS 27.2. I’ve been using the 11-inch Pro as my daily driver, partially because it can also plug into a monitor for productivity.

Even with a 60hz display, this might change what iPad I bring with me on the go.

Anyone else?
