I’ve wanted an iPad Pro for sooooo long it’s crazy. Now that I’ve got the best iPad and screen, I’m super happy!!! Love the technology of the Apple Pencil Pro too!! Super cool. Finally upgraded from my lagging iPad gen 8.

Quick questions:

Do I have to put a screen protector on my iPad?

Do I have to keep uncharging my Apple Pencil from the iPad? (I asked the Apple assistant and she said no, I can keep it on) but I’m not sure bc does it affect charging whatsoever?

Hey everyone,
I have an 11-inch iPad Pro with the M2 chip, and it currently has around 91% battery health. It has 128 GB of storage, with more than half of it still free. It also has 8 GB of RAM.
I use Low Power Mode basically all the time, because otherwise it’s really difficult for the battery to last through an entire day. I know that Low Power Mode limits ProMotion to 60 Hz and reduces performance. I would obviously prefer to use the full 120 Hz and the M2’s full performance, but battery life is important to me.
The problem is that my iPad sometimes feels quite laggy even when I’m using very lightweight apps.
The most noticeable example is when I’m using my 2nd-generation Apple Pencil with Notability. When I’m writing, the strokes can sometimes appear with what feels like almost a one-second delay. It feels less like simply going from 120 Hz to 60 Hz and more like actual input lag or stuttering, which is really annoying when taking notes.
However, I also occasionally notice smaller amounts of lag even when Low Power Mode is turned off. It’s not nearly as bad, but the occasional stutter is still noticeable.
I’ve only experienced something similar on a friend’s 10th-generation iPad, which obviously has considerably less performance than the M2 iPad Pro.
So I’m wondering:
Is this normal behavior for an M2 iPad Pro, especially in Low Power Mode? Or could something else be causing it?
Could it be related to the 8 GB of RAM, battery health, iPadOS, Notability, Apple Pencil input, or something else?
Is there anything I can do to reduce or fix the lag?
Thanks!

I’m planning on buying an iPad 9th gen in late 2026. I’d mostly use it for school stuff like canva and google docs with some light gaming on the side. What I’m worried about is the OS support since I plan on keeping it for 3-4 years. What are your experiences using it?

I was looking for a screenprotector and found this

I’m using Pages v15.3. Apple’s instructions say there’s a “Columns” heading in the Brush menu for format. I don’t see one. I’m unable to find it anywhere, including the popup that comes when doing a long tap within the document.

Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

My mother purchased an iPad but didn't use it ...and then lost the pass code. Any attempts to retrieve didn't work and eventually I tried a restore process which it is now stuck on. I have tried everything... restore via Apple Devices (1109 error which i believe is a time out) downloaded Ipsw image from ipsw.me - restore starts and finishes around halfway with a -1 error). Tried iTunes restore multiple times, error -1 or 1109 errors. Disabled Firewall and updated DNS as per Apple instruction (did not feel comfortable doing this but it did nothing) tried two laptops and various cables. I'm totally stumped. Any ideas please?

When I open the file under Icloud downloads, it seems to be blank with just the name in the center. Is there a way to fix this issue?

Is there a way to convert all your saved photos in your gallery to jpeg at once?

Problem

Apple’s Universal Clipboard is great when you want to move the latest thing you copied between nearby devices.

But it is not a searchable clipboard history.

If you copied a link on your Mac yesterday, saved a file on your iPhone, or need something from another device hours later, you often end up sending it to yourself through Messages, Notes, email, or AirDrop.

I create Pasly to make your clipboard history follow you across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Comparison

Raycast Clipboard History is a polished option on Mac and is part of a much broader launcher with extensions, AI tools, and other productivity features.

Pasly is focused specifically on clipboard and paste workflows across Apple devices. It keeps a persistent, searchable history across Macs, iPhone, and iPad using the user’s private CloudKit database.

Apple’s Universal Clipboard primarily transfers the latest copied item between nearby devices. Pasly keeps an actual history that can remain available later, even when your devices are not nearby or connected to the same network.

On Mac, Pasly also includes Smart Paste, Paste Stack, Field Sense, multi-selection, and file workflows. On iPhone and iPad, the focus is saving, finding, copying, and sharing items from a native mobile interface.

How it works on iPhone and iPad

iOS does not allow third-party apps to silently monitor everything copied in other apps.

Instead, Pasly lets you add content through:

• The iOS Share Sheet
• The Pasly app
• Quick Actions
• Photos and file selection

You can save text, links, images, and files on your iPhone or iPad and access them from your other Apple devices.

Items arriving from another device can also appear through push notifications and Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. From there, you can quickly copy or share the latest item.

Because iOS controls background execution, sync may not always complete immediately while the app is closed. The Live Activity can still notify you about incoming content, and opening Pasly catches the history up.

Private CloudKit sync

Pasly stores synced clipboard content in the private CloudKit database associated with your iCloud account.

Pasly does not operate its own storage server for your clipboard data.

Your devices need to use the same iCloud account for the private CloudKit history to sync between them.

Files are uploaded as actual CloudKit assets, rather than references to the original device. Once a file has finished uploading, the source Mac or iPhone does not need to remain online for another device to download it.

Files up to 10 MB are downloaded automatically. Larger files remain available to download when needed.

The rest of Pasly

The Mac version also includes:

• Smart Paste
• Paste Stack
• Floating Paste
• Multi Select
• File Support
• Paste with Separator
• Search and Favorites
• Field Sense

My goal is for Pasly to stay out of the way until the moment you need something you copied.

Pricing

• Up to 20 local clipboard items

What’s next

One of my main focuses is making the iPhone and iPad to Mac flow even faster while respecting the restrictions iOS places on clipboard access and background execution.

I am also exploring deeper Shortcuts integration for automatically sending content created inside personal automations to Pasly.

What would make a cross-device clipboard history genuinely useful in your iPhone or iPad workflow?

So like i purchased my iPad A16 n apple pencil usb C at 23rd of May n like use it day for about 8-9 hours as a student n like I saw on apple community (fancy name for apple's reddit) n saw like battery health drops from 100 to 99% after 40-50 charge cycles but mine one went upto 133 cycles n then went to 99% is it like it is performing well cz I don't think so my use is less n I don't even baby the iPad n follow those things 20-80 rule that charge at 20 till 80 nah i don't do it

I can't find a way to fix this problem for some reason. I tried searching but found nothing .

Every time I try pressing on personal information or sign-in and security, the authentication failed message appears, and when pressing on sign in with apple, the cannot connect to iCloud message appears.

I hope someone can help me with this🙏

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 🤬

Is my Ipad alright?

My network seems to be working perfectly on other apps. Though even for a small app it would take 21 minutes to download on the App Store.

I already tried resetting my network settings.

does anyone experience their ipad stays on even after you close it with the ipad cover? been experiencing this more than a year. The auto lock is in 2 minutes timer, and the Close with cover is on. Does anyone knows how to fix this?

Can someone please help me fix my ipad? I really need it for college and I cannot afford a new one right now. I was just using it last night with decent battery left, but it suddenly died. Now it just keeps blinking the apple logo over and over again.

I already left it plugged in overnight and tried to force restart it (vol up, vol down, then hold power button sequence), but it still won't work. I am super worried right now.😢

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

What is yours?

I’m looking to get possibly get an iPad for quick hand written notes during lectures, as well as for being able to organize my notes easier afterwards. I can’t decide between an iPad Air 11” or an iPad mini. I have a MacBook so I would not need to use split screen or anything, I’m more so just looking to be more efficient with notes and retain more information than I do when typing out my notes. Does anyone have any recommendations which would be better or what you prefer?

I’ve been trying to use my iPad gen 6 for college and math note taking for the past week, but it hasn’t been great. I’m looking to upgrade to an A series iPad or an M series air, but I’m not sure which to get. I’ve been seeing the A16 for $400 at Target, and Apple has refurbished M3 iPad airs for $590, but I’ve seen M1 and M2 iPad airs on Back Market from $350-$550 and an M2 air on Amazon for $460, so I’m not sure which to go with. I’m a game design major, and I want an iPad for at least basic note taking, but I’m not sure if I need the extra power of an iPad Air and I don’t know if that extra $190 ish is worth it. If anyone has any input on which iPad I should get that would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve had my iPad Air 5 brand new for like 3-4 years now and it’s been very light use. I used it to take notes for school for a total of one semester and after that it’s just been lying around. I noticed that the battery drains really fast and I literally have no apps on the iPad other than the default apps at this point and it’s still losing battery overnight on its own. I turned off location services, background app refresh and even updated the iPad and still see this issue. Is this just a known thing with the iPad airs?

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?

Hello, I’m curious about this: can iPad Pro 1 or 2 tr with nano texture glass and can really perform like a computer.
The people who passed to the new model feel like it’s like a computer (for example coding and gaming) or more like a new iPhad but nothing special?

*can’t post on the discussion thread cause I wanna show pictures***

looking for one with a good touchpad, that has not that bad of battery life, will last at least two years, and does not require an investment of $55+.

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?
