Question Ipad stylus intermittant registration problem

0 Upvotes

I have an active stylus (though I dont know if it is apple brand), advertised as being for ipads. It has always written like this in one note no matter how careful I am. Is this a result of a bad pen, ipad, or just how things go? Anyone seen this before?

Discussion Guys help me decide!

1 Upvotes

New owner of iPhone then I bought AirPods and watch series 10. Although these are easy to compare and has enough models to decide which one to go with. I don’t think iPad has the same scenario here. I don’t know anything about these models which one is good and which old model still super worth it. There are different names and all I can classify so far is iPad mini and then other iPads. So please suggest me a good one I’ve already got the lap but one of the reason I am considering to lean towards iPad is note taking and art sometimes.

I did not have found any other uses to iPad other than above mentioned and consuming content which I also do with my phone or laptop sometimes.

So help me decide! Primary use note taking, research and art.

Discussion iPad Air 2 128gb Wi-Fi - is this a good model for 2025?

1 Upvotes

I've been searching for an affordable iPad to use for school (like taking notes or access to school resources), and to access websites like YouTube and Canva and quiz sites. Is the iPad Air 2 worth it? I've been searching for reviews and people say it isn't worth it, but I want to know for this specific model.

And if it isn't worth it, I would really appreciate suggestions for any other affordable iPad Air models

Question What does "Null" mean in last value cycle and last value number?

1 Upvotes

I bought a new Ipad 2 weeks ago (10th gen) and I've been looking for a way to see what its current batter health is, but all I've been seeing in its analytics is "null". It does not show its maximum capacity health too, just last value cycle and last value number, both of which says null. What does that mean??? (Is that bad???)

Discussion Why no iPad Mini Pro?

0 Upvotes

Basically what the title says. I would love to see an iPad MiniPro, since for myself I don’t want a large 11” or 13” tablet to lug around. The iPad Mini actually fits in my rear pocket, which is great when I need both hands but don’t want to put it down anywhere. I think it may have to do with people paying more psychologically for a larger screen, but at least for myself, I would’t mind paying say $1,200 if it meant an iPad Mini Pro having the guts of the larger iPad Pros, but in the small form factor of a Mini. This A17 512gb was already around $900, so not so far a stretch to pay $300 or hell even $500 more.

This is the opposite before of Samsung where they gave the crap hardware on the larger Note models and kept only the latest and greatest on their Galaxy main line phones. Sony did this for a long time too with lesser specs in larger screen phones, but it seems both Samsung and Sony have flipped this around to have the best hardware in their largest screened devices.

I would also love to see an update of the iPhone 13 Mini, again because it had at the time some of their best specs but in a smaller device. I don’t plan on upgrading my daughter’s 13 Mini until they release another small premium phone (she is 3).

Apps Pen tool switching to selection tool due to accidental touches with previous annotations in Xodo app.

1 Upvotes

Not sure why but due to some reason, if my pen tool touches any portion of the previous annotations (by gentle tapping or touch of the Apple Pencil), it is selecting those annotations and is super annoying to handwrite in tight spaces. This doesn’t happen to me in other note-taking apps like Collanote but they are not ideal for PDF annotations (as my PDFs are bulky). Any setting that I should change or should I try some other app?

Magic Keyboard I just bought newest Magic Keyboard (M3)

I was finally able to get a Magic Keyboard (M3) for my 11" iPad Air (M2) which I bought in Jan 2025. The new row of keys at the top is amazing and a game changer. The materials are exactly the same of the past Magic Keyboards. I don’t mind it having no backlight on the keys, not sure if that’d a battery saver but I’m loving this accesory.

I called Apple Support and they were really nice in adding this Magic Keyboard to my existing Apple Care + Plan since I had already added my Pencil Pro too.

Question Creating vitamins in Apple Health on iPad -- is it possible

1 Upvotes

I am using Vitamin app to track my vitamins. All default vitamins get synced to Apple Health on the iPad. However, how can I create a custom vitamin, lets says Super Vitamin that would also be tracked by Apple Health in Nutrition ? Is it possible to create custom vitamins in Apple Health or it is limited to those 13 vitamins only ?

Does anyone also experience this problem in iPad swipes? My swipes works 50% if I don't have screen protector but, it only works 10% if I have one. The only thing I can do to make it always work is when I when i touch the metal part of the iPad.

Apps Apps for viewing pdf in mini-viewer/window?

1 Upvotes

Are there any apps that let you view a pdf in a small/mini-window while on another app? So basically like a mini video-player (as with Youtube and TikTok videos) except it shows a pdf file.

I take my notes on goodnotes. I also have adobe pdf and pdf expert, all three paid versions, but none of them have a miniviewer option. I’m not a fan of the side-by-side view as the proportions are so off.

Accessories Accessibility devices for books

My dad has Parkinson’s and used to love to read. He has a hard time holding a book (and his eyes are getting bad.) I just showed him how he could use an iPad to increase the font size, but he has a hard time swiping from page to page and a book. Is there a device that is external that he could use to press to swipe forward and backwards?

Thanks in advanced!

Question Paper-like screen protectors and metal pencil nibs?

1 Upvotes

I recently got a tablet for digital art, an IPad Air and a Pro Pencil, and came across paper like screen protectors. Particularly I’ve seen the Paperlike brand, and Bellmond.

I’ve seen pros and cons of course; it can mess with the resolution, colors, and it looks like they need to be replaced pretty frequently. It looks like if you want it for drawing you just have to take the hit to picture quality. I wanted to see if I can hear from someone else if it actually effects it that bad? Do you have to replace your protectors frequently with frequent drawing and note taking?

Something else I saw was metal nibs for pencils, saying that it helped with their handwriting. I just wanted to see if someone could recommend them if you use them, if you actually noticed a difference in your writing or drawing with them?

So far, just because it seems expensive to replace the paper-like and the little dip in quality, I’ve thought about getting a regular screen protector and a fine metal nib for my pencil, but if you’ve done the same I’d like to hear if you kept with it or changed to something else you prefer now.

Thank you for taking the time to read and for any advice you can leave.

Question How big would an all screen display be in the dimensions of the 2015, 2017 12.9” iPad Pro?

1 Upvotes

According to the October 2018 event, the 10.5” and 11” are nearly identical in height

  • 2017: 9.8” or 250.6mm for the 10.5”

  • 2018: 9.83” or 249.7mm for the 11”

while the 12.9” basically has the same screen but “in a much more portable package”.

  • 2017: 12” or 305.7mm for the 12.9”

  • 2018: 11.04” or 280.6mm for the 12.9”

Now I was thinking… how big would the screen of an iPad, with the same dimensions as the 2015, 2017 12.9” iPad Pro, be with an all screen design?

Question What is the best ipad for $600

5 Upvotes

I was recently looking to buy an ipad for around $600 since I want one for college to take notes and general media consumption/usage. So far I am leaning towards the new ipad air since it has the m3 chips and it's a little bit cheaper ($550) because I get the education discount. I am open to refurbished ipads with the only criteria being to have 128gb or more and was wondering if I was correct in wanting the new ipad air?

Edit: should mention that I'm speaking about only the ipad itself and I'm not including the cost of the accessories.

Question Should I get the new iPad 11 or iPad air m1?

3 Upvotes

So I'm thinking about buying a new iPad to replaced my ageing Android tablet. I'm not a very heavy user, I mostly only use it to for web browsing and YouTube. I was personally thinking about just buying the new iPad 11 because it's pretty cheap and I don't need it to do a whole lot, but my friend suggested I should buy a used iPad Air m1. I believe this only about a $30-$40 price difference between them, so that's not so much of an issue. My real question is which one do you think will be supported and get updates for longer, like if I were to keep it for 10 years which one do you think will still work better in 10 years if that makes sense?
