r/ipad

Hey, today i found my old ipad air which was the first release of ipad air which has no wifi i mean the wifi toggle was greyed out i searched for solutions but none of them worked i guess its with hardware likely wifi chip , i can't install apps on it and also most of the apps does not support , so i thought why not make it just a mini second screen with my laptop but can't find solution which deals with this no wifi solution
also i had one app for second screen (splashtop) installed but as i open it , it shows app not verified error need appstore for verification any solution for bypassing that might work
can anybody tell how can i make it a second screen ?

hello, I'm going to college this August, and I am saving for an ipad! I'm gonna get the 11th gen, and I was wondering what the best option is. these are things I'm looking forward to!!

(btw, I'm majoring in biology on a premed track)

-notetaking! I want to minimize carrying around physical notes as much as I can

-download pdfs and textbooks (I also have a computer, so I can probably do it on there too but I also want to be able to download any pdfs/textbooks on iPad as well)

-withstand 4 years (storage wise)

-occasional drawing (I do digital art sometimes, but very rarely, I don't think I'm gonna have time for it anyway in college, lol)

-occasional games like roblox and crk (same with drawing I probably won't have time to do a bunch)

-watch shows/YouTube/lectures

please help!! thank youuu

Doesn’t seem like there’s any changes, so is it worth getting the newest edition rather than the one from 2025?

Hi guys is possible bypass iOS firmware 17.10.1 on iPad 10.5 generation? Software for windows?

Thanks for the support no scam only serious method!!

I've gotten myself an ipad pro m4, comparing it to my standard 2k resolution pc qd-oled monitor (3rd gen, also from 2024).

Monitor hdr on, ipad max brightness. 4k hdr movie, supports dolby vision. I prefer the image of my monitor a lot more, brighter, deeper colors, more variety in bleak pale scenes, blacks are darker. I wonder if i got a bad unit or apple screens are just not on par with oled tv/monitors ?

I’ve noticed that many iPad users use their devices as productivity tools for work-related tasks. However, there are also those who primarily use their iPads for leisure activities such as gaming, watching videos, movies, and series, scrolling through social media, and browsing the web.

Personally, I use my iPad as my primary iPhone, primarily for watching videos, scrolling through TikTok, checking Twitter, and emulating retro games up to the Nintendo DS (I’ve always used my iPads in this way since I was an iPad kid back in 2012 with my iPad 2). I find it uncomfortable to use my iPad for work because the iPadOS operating system is not conducive to productivity. Even though I have a Pro M4 13-inch iPad, I don’t consider it a suitable device for 100% work due to the frustrating nature of the OS.

I felt guilty because I saw people using their iPads for work, so I even got myself the Apple Pencil USB-C and the Magic Keyboard. The Apple Pencil is used casually to draw on Procreate about twice a week, and the Magic Keyboard is mostly used as a holder to watch YouTube videos. I’m sorry, but this device is top tier as a TABLET, not a computer.

In which spectrum of iPad usage do you fall?

I’ve had to do this several times when I had the M1 and the M4, which for one reason or another I got rid of. Now I have the iPad Pro M2 12.9in because it was a steal and it works perfectly for my needs. But shopping for the right size Magic Keyboard case is ALWAYS a nightmare.

I’ve come to learn that many generations can use a single version of case, dependent on size. I must say Apple has really convoluted things with their pattern for iPad generations. That being said, can anyone mercifully help me hunt down the Magic Keyboard case for the iPad Pro 12.9-inch (6th generation) or decent substitute they’d suggest?

I tried searching on Amazon and it’s just overwhelming.

Please help me on what to choose:

So, I'm looking for an iPad Air on FB marketplace and I found two deals, one is Air m2 128gb for 330 usd and one is Air m3 128gb for 413 usd. Is it worth the extra 83 usd for ipad air m3?

any advice is appreciated.

My Ipad dies on 10%, but it also dies at other percentages (for example, 59%) as soon as I take it off the charger. When it boots back up, the battery shows 10% even though it said 59. ALSO, my ipad gets stuck in a boot loop and goes ln for about 5 minutes after leaving it plugged up.

what do i do? (Ipad 8th generation)

Hi! I saw a secondhand for 150 bucks 64gb wifi only. I’ll use it to study for my nursing licensure exam and games like stardew valley & good sorting 🤣

Is it still worth it? I’m thinking of buying d latest but I can see that after finishing my exam I’ll rarely use it anymore + tight budget. TYIA!!

I bought the iPad 8th gen a few months after release and now the storage is full and it keeps going to a black screen with aoading icon once a while. I'm on IPad OS11 too so is it worth upgrading to the A16? I have keyboard and apple pencil original and I use my iPad for media, gaming, notes and possibly editing depending on new iPads capabilities.

I love to use my iPad whether I don’t have my laptop around, is a Surface Laptop 15”.

My friends told me “you should’ve gotten a Mac, you already have an iPhone and iPad” but the thing is that I don’t like macOS, not the UI and my main purpose (after work) is gaming and not even simple games like RPG Maker XP or Florensia were compatible on macOS (these are pre 2010s games).

If I wanted a Mac I would, and literally I just use my iPad as my big iPhone at home.

Why mac people want to make everyone to use a Mac?

I want:

- for school, I’m a psych major so I would mostly be taking notes and stuff.

- to be able to play Roblox on it 😭 and use apps like audible to read.

- NEED for it to last me very long. I hate it when product longevity is trash. I hope it takes me through all of undergrad, and maybe even through my masters 🥺

I’m Willing to spend a good amount of money.

Also, 128gbs or 256gbs?

I am using an iPad Gen 6 as a kitchen display, mostly using it as a calendar. I want to have the display always on when it is plugged in, and off when it is not plugged in. I have seen many articles on how to do this using shortcuts, but I cannot make sense of it. It may be because the articles I am looking at are older, and the shortcut menu has changed? The issue is that I cannot find the Always on Option in shortcuts. **Note** I am not physically plugging it in and unplugging it. I have it attached to a smart plug that turns will turn it off when I leave or go to bed, and will turn it on when I wake up in the morning.
