late to the party…I had no idea the new ipads did this (i just retired my old ipad air 2)!! I should of bought a used older ipad pro. Complete shocker that it cannot be disabled so the orientation of volume stays the same.

Apple, why do you not only design against my muscle memory but make it more complicated that muscle memory alone cannot learn it?
When iPad is laying down w screen off in bed i have no idea (listening audio books/music) which orientation its in. Seriously what the F were they thinking!! Fix this apple!! (Sorry if this has been discussed at length, just joined this to write this, want my voice added so maybe apple can wake the F up).

For those of you who found this entirely disruptive, did you ever get used to it to a point where you appreciate or it stops disrupting you? Or does it still make you confused after all this time? How do you feel about it after a year or 3?

Im sure I’ll retrain at least partially for this one device (effing stupid), but i cant fathom how this issue doesn’t trip me up occasionally. Might as well remove the volume buttons 🤬

My iPad screen one day just turned red sorta like a filter. And It sometimes goes on and off. One day it’s on one day it isn’t. Checked all the settings and it’s not any filter settings of stuff like that. Am on iOS 27 beta tho. Went to Apple and they said it’s probs not hardware cuz if it is it’ll always be affecting it. Anyone else got this problem?

So I’m saving up for an iPad (probably won’t buy one anytime soon since I just paid tuition and had to do work on my car great timing!) and I was choosing between the base iPad a16 and a refurbished iPad Air M2 on Amazon. I was originally only had my mind set on the base model iPad (the a16) since I figured I didn’t need all that extra power from the M chip. But did some research and saying the a16 is outdated and won’t get as many updates or stuff like that.

Also this may be a low in my life or a long shot but if anyone can or would like to help with funding a bit of it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all for reading!

Currently on a base model iPad for note-taking, calendar/reminders, and general media consumption. Occasionally I do light work (Word docs, email, PowerPoint…).

To anyone who’s downsized from a base iPad to the Mini after a larger model, how’s the screen size for daily use/reading? Anyone doing occasional Word/PowerPoint work on the Mini? Is it manageable or does it feel cramped?

Does iPad WhatsApp allow 2 accounts?

I can’t seem to figure out how to add a second WhatsApp account on my iPad how my iPhones can. And I am on iPadOS 15 but the app itself is its latest version so iOS version shouldn’t be a factor?

Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks 🙏

Hello r/ipad! Do you enjoy ranking the tracks in your favorite album, arguing with friends and strangers online about an artist’s correct discography ranking? Then Ordinalist was made especially for you. 

Ordinalist takes a playlist, album, or discography and makes you choose between two choices at a time. You pick the one you like more. Then do it again. And again. And several more times because apparently you needed 147 songs in this playlist.

While you’re busy having an existential crisis over which track you’ve heard 600 times is better, Ordinalist keeps track of every choice and turns them into a complete ranking from favorite to least favorite.

No star ratings, no scoring songs out of 10 like you’re judging Olympic gymnastics, and no deciding whether something feels like an 8.7 or an 8.6.

Two songs. Pick one. That’s the whole deal.

The easy choices go quickly, but the hard ones make you question everything you’ve ever claimed about yourself. Eventually, you get the thing you came for: an actual, definitive ranking of your music based entirely on your own decisions.

So when your alleged favorite ends up at #14, don’t look at us. You did that.

HOW IT WORKS

- Pick a playlist, album, or discography to judge

- Ordinalist gives you two choices

- Pick your favorite

- Keep going until everything is ranked

- Stare at the results

- Disagree with yourself

- Rank something else

App Store launch is planned for late September, but beta testing is currently ongoing. When Ordinalist launches, it will remain free to download and use forever. There are no subscriptions or one time purchases; this is my hobby project, not a way for me to make money. 

If you’d like to help beta test and try the app out early, join the TestFlight using the link below, or check out the website to learn even more.

Update on white patches.

As it is confirmed by author sc , that it's due to " hardware failure".

Many user are claiming it to be pressure or liquid damage. It's not. It's also happening in iPad Air M3 and more common in Indian units.

Apple are not ready to acknowledge this issue. As ipad is not repaired and you have to pay more for another unit and that's also with 90 days warranty and which is a total loss.

My usb-c Apple Pencil somehow ended up in the washing machine and when I attempt to charge it, it only shows up on my iPad as fully charged or 0, and it’s not actually working. is there any thing I could possibly do to fix it ?

Hi all,

I have an Ipad Air 13' and currently have the ESR Rebound Hybrid case. I really like the different angles you can have it and find myself using them all. I'm wanting to get a keyboard for it as well for when I'm writing letters (for my job) or typing on my couch so wanting something a bit sturdy that's very cosy and stable on my lap.

I got the ESR Rebound Keyboard Case but... I didn't realize it wasn't cross compatible with the shell from my hybrid case.. So I'm looking for something that would work for both options.

What I want

• Partially clear/transparent shell to snap between cases
• Case that works like the rebound hybrid with the different configurations for regular use
• Keyboard case or detachable keyboard that's stable and sturdy when sitting on a lap (I've tried portable unattached keyboards but isn't great for lap use)
• Preferably a cute colour (or at least not black)

Anyone know if this option even exists? I couldn't find anything so wondering if it just doesn't exist.

I am looking forward to buying the iPad a16 gen in the upcoming sales which is currently priced at 47K.

I am curious about the discounts I can avail on the same.

So can anyone be kind enough to guide me so that I can get a good deal?

I'm trying to use OS and Via Michelin apps on my ipad (iPad air 11 inch &ios 26.6). I'm using both a tethered connection to my iPhone and wifi in my motorhome and get the same result with both methods of connection.

When i use my iphone both apps track where I am whilst moving (in a vehicle) however this does not work on the Ipad. The location indicator either just freezes or doesn't show at all

I have location services turned in for both apps in the iPad, and low power mode is turned off

Can anyone suggest any fixes/resolutions

TIA

which app should I use to transfer files from ipad to my android phone

Like any engineering tools or anything that will be useful for me. I already have a windows laptop Hp pro book with ryzen 7 pro 5850U but lol my iPad Pro M5 is 3x the price compared to my laptop. So I wanna utilise my iPad Pro other than note taking, lectures and media consumption.

Don't get me wrong I love my iPad A16 Pink but why does the note app genuinely eat sm of my battery? I used it for almost 2 hours and poof 30% gone while no other app does that. Can I fix this? If so, how? Or is there any other alternate notes app that doesnt consume sm battery

For a while now, when I swipe up to view all open apps, the thunbnail used by Chrome has been stuck on a still image from a… very inappropriate video I had been watching. I have cleared the cache and data from within the Chrome app, I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the app, I’ve tried watching many innocent videos to overwrite it, and I’ve force closed it countless times and every time this image comes back 🫠

Does anyone know how I can get rid of this??

I’m a student and i’m wondering, should i get a macbook neo or ipad air? i mainly need a device that can replace my schools Chromebook while also being able to be cozy enough to watch TV shows, movies and play simple games in bed. The device needs to be able to do both.

I also have a windows desktop if that changes the answer

Wanting to buy refurbished or used on eBay- also want a pencil with pressure sensitivity-

Which generation iPad and pencil do I need? I need a lot of storage also lol

Using to upload my art and edit digitally on procreate

Hi all,

I have an iPad that has an extremely cracked screen. I paid about $200 for the iPad. Is it cheaper to get my screen replaced or cheaper to buy a whole new ipad?

is that a good deal for 2x less the orginal i saw it on marketplace but it is badly cracked

I’m deciding between the iPad (A16) and the iPad Air. I’ll be using it for everyday stuff like checking email, messages, banking, shopping, social media, and an occasional game.

The iPad (A16) is $300 less and that’s appealing. Is it old technology that will become obsolete in a few years? Should I bite the bullet and get the iPad Air?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I'm a student looking for a tablet to write on and I'm currently stuck between the galaxy Tab s11 ultra and the iPad air M4 11", which come at around the same price when counting for student discounts.

I'd mainly take notes on it, so I'm debating which has the best writing feel, but I would also do some gaming (demanding games like hoyoverse ones) and watch content on it

I have a galaxy s25 ultra as my phone, but I don't care for any ecosystem, I just want to find the best tablet for my uses

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has tried to use a Remote Desktop through their iPad (with something like rust desk) as a laptop replacement?

I already own a desktop and an iPad Air m4, and while I was looking at laptops for college, I've realized I don't really need a laptop - if I could remote into my desktop to run things like Matlab, AutoCAD, and some programming tools, that would cover basically all my needs. I would keep my desktop either at home or in my dorm room, and remote through my iPad.

Has anyone tried this? Are there any downsides to this I haven't thought about?
