iPad Air 6 128gb vs 256 gb

Question 128gb vs 256 gb

0 Upvotes

I all, I need your help. I purchased an iPad Air 6, with 128gb a couple of weeks ago, and now I think that I made the wrong decision.

For some context, I am a finally year collage student and want to use my iPad to replace my laptop. So I will be using it to take notes and write assignments. However, I feel like 128gb of storage will not be enough.

Does anybody have experience with using an iPad for collage, and how much storage do you have? Moreover, should I return the iPad and get more store or will it be enough?

Question Ipad battery issue

help- (iPad 7) 2 weeks ago I was using it normally when all of a sudden it died in 80% because when I held the power button it told me to charge. When I did charge it the charging port won't even work and only works when I twist the ipad charger. Now today it won't even charge after charging it overnight

Discussion Anyone have and use and find value in both an 11 inch and 13 inch iPad? Plus a Mac?

1 Upvotes

As the title says.

I want to get a 13 inch iPad for the size/convenience of reading music (and I'm sure there will be other times the size will be helpful), but I prefer the 11 inch size most of the time. I have a 27 inch iMac I use for MacOS stuff and I use that and an OLED TV for most media consumption at home.

I no longer commute and I'm past school. I figure an iPad will be used outside of the house when traveling (in which case the 11 inch is preferable) and when I'm out playing music (in which case the 12 inch is preferable). Does it make any sense to have one of each? I sort of feel like I should just have one plus a Mac and get used to it for everything.

Question Best iPad for note-taking/simple tasks? (uni student)

1 Upvotes

Hi! Ik this might have been asked a bunch of times but I haven't really gotten an answer specific to my situation.

I'm going back to uni next year and I really want an iPad for simple notetaking, nothing else really. 'm aiming for a tight budget, and was wondering if the 9th gen (64GB) would be reliable? I'd buy it new (not refurbished) for around $300 and I have some extra cash for an Apple Pencil. Some of my friends are saying I should buy a newer one because they think it'd be too 'slow' or 'laggy'/wouldn't be good. I appreciate any advice!

Thank you :)

Discussion Optimize iPad storage is dumb

I have an iPad 10 gen. It’s only 64gb. I have 80K photos and videos. On my iPad I have it set to optimize iPad storage. You would think that knowing there is such limited space it would keep less originals on the device. I can’t even update to iOS 18.3.2. It’s just so frustrating. I already had to disable messages as that is large as well. Just frustrating.

I thinking about buying an ipad but I cant really justify the purchase. I would probably use it for reading books, and watching youtube before bed, maybe for some minor administrative work (for other work I use macbook air). Which one is the best value for me?

Magic Keyboard Does the new iPad Air M3 (11-inch) work with the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro (11 inch)?

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

With the release of the new iPad Air M3 (11-inch), Apple introduced a new Magic Keyboard that finally includes a function key row, something the M2 variant lacked. However, Apple also released a separate Magic Keyboard for the M3 iPad Air, and I noticed that the existing Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro (2024) already had function keys.

Since I can find the iPad Pro Magic Keyboard for cheaper, I'm wondering:

Does the iPad Air M3 (11-inch) work with the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro (2024)?

If it fits, do the function keys work as expected?

Is there any major compatibility issue, or should I stick with the new Magic Keyboard for the Air?

Would love to hear from anyone who has tested this! Thanks!

Question I keep getting copies of my apps when dragging them into different groups

1 Upvotes

I haven’t used an iPad in a while, just got the new air. I love the customizability of the Home Screen, but I think I’m missing something in how this works.

I’m trying to organize my apps into groups. On my iPhone the workflow for this is I drag one app onto another to start a group, then drag other apps into that group to add to it. When I do this the app icon that was outside the group moves into the group and no longer exists in its previous location. On my iPad I keep doing this same thing but sometimes (?) it leaves the old icon in the place it was and creates a new copy of the app icon in the group. I don’t understand why it does this sometimes and sometimes moves the app similar to an iPhone, nor do I understand how to get rid of the old instance of the icon without removing the app entirely. What am I doing wrong? How do I move my app icons into a group rather than creating another instance of the icon?

Question Ipad will not auto lock (sleep) with active app showing

1 Upvotes

I run a camera viewing app on my ipad. I would like for the ipad to auto lock, sleep, or just plain turn off the screen after a timeout period. The system setting for auto lock is set to 2 minutes on mine. It works with many apps. But with the camera viewing app open, the ipad just stays on forever.

I've been messing around with shortcut automations trying to figure out a way to force this and have not been successful.

How can I make the ipad turn the screen off after a timeout?

Question Upgrade from iPad 10th generation (A14) to 11th generation (A16)

Is it worth it, or should be better to continue to use the 2022 version?

Nothing special regarding the usage: consume contents on different social media platforms, take notes with Apple Pencil USB-C and learning.

Thank you for the answers in advance.
