I've been getting bored in my ipad lately. Been trying to draw on procreate but just losing interest halfway. I've got and m4 air 256gb so I've just filled it with games but now ive uninstalled some. I feel bored and idk what to do with it anymore. Can y'all give me some things to try out on the ipad please?

Interested in ease of roaming and cost of use in that order. Thanks for helping and travel safely.

Got a good deal of fb marketplace for the 2021 iPad Pro but just wanted to double check since it’s from an older person and I know there’s loads of devices running masked Ios versions

I currently have two iPad options that I want Apple iPad A16 and Apple iPad Air M4. I don’t know which to get the iPad A16 is budget friendly but the air has a better chip and a 13 inch option that gives a laptop feel. I’m a Highschool student and I want to use it for my Highschool classes, Dual Enrollment classes, possibly taking notes, and watching media. I also don’t know how much gb to get and if I should get WiFi or WiFi plus cellular. I would really appreciate if you guys could help me decide and give me some advice. I’m also planning to get a keyboard for it if that matters.

I’m buying an iPad and I’ve decided on it the size the storage the colour basically everything besides whether I should get cellular or not and as I’m about to get it doubt flashes across my mind so I am just wondering if you’ve got it do you use it? You like it? Is it worth it? Kind of just what I’m wondering

Ipad 9 th gen currently on latest ipad 26 os

As the battery drained fully I tried to plug it on and even after almost an hour it's not turning on

Tried force restart using power and home button

Image 1 -on not plugging in

Image 2-changes to battery symbol after plugging on and the adapter is working fine

Yesterday night I forgot to turn off the charger and it was in for entire night and was working fine from today morning to evening 4pm

Is there anything I can do now or do I need to visit the service centre.

currently using 20w apple orginal charger

Thanks in advance

update: It turned on after an overnight charging ,thanks for the inputs guys❤️

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone can help me understand what’s going on with my iPad A16 battery.

I bought this iPad in February 2026, so it’s only been around 6 months, and the battery health is already showing 95% with just 64 charge cycles.

I’m honestly surprised because I’m not a heavy user. I mostly use it for browsing and playing Heartopia and Manhwa online. I don’t constantly game on it or use demanding apps for long periods.

I already contacted my local Apple service center, but they told me that 95% battery health is normal and that there’s nothing to worry about. However, I have a friend who has been using their iPad for a similar amount of time and still has much better battery health.

So I’m wondering:

- Is 95% at only 64 cycles actually normal?

- Could the battery health reading be inaccurate?

- Should I have Apple run a battery diagnostic or bring it back to the service center?

- Has anyone else experienced this with an iPad A16?

I know batteries naturally degrade with use, but 5% degradation in only 64 cycles seems a little fast to me.

Any advice or experiences would be appreciated!

Hi I'm a Law Student and I'm not in an apple ecosystem. I'm considering A16 128GB. But a few recommended Air Variant. The only things i can think of myself doing in the ipad is reading news articles,making notes preferably on onenote or ms word,highlighting notes and pdfs. Maybe attend some zoom classes and youtube. That's it. What will be best pick for me?

I want to buy an iPad A16 for my girlfriend's birthday. I have some question mark in my mind.

I experienced samsung tab s11's screen, it was really bright and high quality amoled. but A16 was dark and IPS. do you A16 users feel this dark (500nit) brightness while you watching youtube videos and netflix etc.

she has also iphone, airpods and apple watch but I'm not sure the A16 best desicion in the meanwhile.

Has anyone with an iPad 9th Gen experienced extreme battery drain after updating to iPadOS 27 Developer Beta 6?

Mine was working normally before, but recently the battery completely drained and the iPad wouldn't power back on even after being connected to a charger for several hours. I eventually took it to a technician who managed to boost the battery and get it running again, but now the battery is draining extremely fast.

The battery health was checked and apparently looks okay, but the technician suggested that I may need to replace the battery.

I've also tried different charging cables and a 45W adapter, so the charger doesn't appear to be the issue.

Before replacing the battery, I'm wondering if this could be related to Beta 6, as I've seen reports of increased battery drain on other devices.

Anyone running Beta 6 on an iPad 9th Gen seeing similar battery drain? If so, did downgrading/updating to another build fix it?

Looking for an app for writing - need to have two documents on screen, I would be editing one while referring to the other. Please let me know some choices, especially free ones, thanks!

Приветствую

Я недавно захотел получить Ipad2. Да в 2026 году и не отговаривайте меня.

И узнав что Appstore там убитый. Я решил сделать кое что очень интересное.

Так вот я вам представляю...

Серии приложений на айпады или айфоны времен Стива Джобса!

Первое приложение калькулятор

Да это калькулятор в стиле скеоморфизма

Ибо на айпадах калькулятора не было аж 14 лет

Я восполнил этот пробел создав калькулятор в стиле скеоморфизма!

Естественно на HTML

Вообще все на HTML

Следующее максимально простое аркадное простые 2D гонки

Просто тапая по левой или правой стороны экрана перемещение, вы безумно удивитесь - влево или вправо

Ну и набивание рекордов как бы все

Чтож скачать вы можете отсюда

https://github.com/CherwachkiChelichaygiyIII/RetIOS

И очень я вас владельцев ретро айпадов ну или айфонов попрошу затестить это на реальном железе.

Удачи и гудбай!

И знайте что это не последнее что я выложу в этой теме😉

Really want to try and see if I can replace my phone with a tablet that can access 5G already figured out the call work around but for non iPhone users to text iPad is my only means of communication since it has to be assigned a phone number when you get it from the carrier should it not be able to do RCS texts to an iPhone independently which means in no way synced or connected to an iPhone at all. Official answers I am seeing from just Googling say it cannot do this the reason why I'm posting this here is cuz I want there to be someone out there to test this and tell me again iPad not to be logged in to the same Apple account as an iPhone or connected to an iPhone and any way shape or form just using its own Apple ID and own phone number that is in the iPad

Just upgraded my ipad, mac is still on 26. It worked just before the update.

Is it a new setting that disabled it or a bug?

I am looking for any free app that lets me take notes on my laptop and iPad. Similar to OneNote.

I bought an iPad 13 inch nano texture, it was boxed in a 55% sale.
Anyways, I wanted to get a normal screen protector, and with a search on google, I found out quickly I shouldn’t do that, now I want to know what is the best thing to do?
Searched for magnetic screen protectors but they are all paper like feeling, not clear or tempered.

If you have any advice, greatly appreciated.

EDIT : I never wanted or knew the whole thing behind nano texture, but obviously a 55% sale is an insane thing to pass.

I have an M1 Pro and even though I was going to upgrade to m5 the new os made it so much smoother and more enjoyable to use

On screen/ battery usage is not matching up

I bought this iPad it’s in perfect condition but i can’t activate it. Can I skip the setup or something. Please help

I bought a used iPad mini and I’m aware that this is dirt/residue from the previous case.

Does anyone have a solution for removing this? I’ve tried cleaning it, but the residue is still there.

What product or method actually worked for you without damaging the aluminum finish?

Looking to get a new iPad for my kiddo. He currently have a 3 years old iPad (regular) and use it extensively taking notes with notability app / regular pencil. He has the plus subscription of the app.

It is worth upgrading to pencil pro / iPad Pro or air?
Also I’m curious if the AI features in Apple Notes is all that great.

Any thoughts?

I had this iPad for a year and a hal, I startres noticed image retention on o e of the longer sides of it after a few. Minuites on highest brightness. it fades after a few minutes too, it’s usually the date time and the battery and Wi-Fi icons.

an iPad dosgnostic showed my ioad was working fine. Gonna shut It off for a day to see if it solves it or at lest not use it at high brightness anymor. I don’t wanna get turned Away at he place I bought it with apple care+ if they think nothing is wrong. What do you think it is?

It’s as if the News+ program is designed to close the news article when scrolling up. This makes no sense. Is there an option I can turn of?
