iPad (11-inch, 2024)

In my opinion, Apple should make iPadOS a more compelling operating system for desktop like functionality, but it should not try to be macOS. The changes to multitasking in iPadOS 26 have been great if you use the iPad with an external keyboard and mouse. They are a good step forward in giving the i

I agree. Split view and slide over are what makes iPad, an iPad. Even though my iPad A16 is my first Apple product from the ecosystem, it's a real downer removing such full screen features. I hope those features make a comeback.

You seem like an iPad power-user. I'm not sure how you ended up deciding on the A16. I think I'd get an Air and a pencil, then a thrid-party keyboard folio case; Logitech makes some pretty good ones.

I work for a very large F500 manufacturer. We had been putting $1800 per unit Touch Windows devices into some of our plants for our line managers to use as their "mobile computer". They were just not durable enough to withstand the harsh conditions of the plants. Endless breakage. We're about to sta

I got iPad A16 last month and I’m loving it so far. Yes, the slide over is really nice for all the things you mentioned and then some.

I would’ve got the a16 if it was out when

Eu tenho iPhone 13 e comprei um iPad A16 no Paraguai mês passado. To gostando demais entre a comunicação entre aparelhos, abrir app no celular e continuar nele no iPad e etc. Tbm uso para dar aula (sou prof) então ta valendo a pena demais. Tbm tenho apple watch que peguei no Paraguai em 2024, otimo

Make sure it’s compatible with whatever Apple tablet you have as well. I got the new iPad A16 chip but had to go back to the 1st gen pencil for pressure sensitivity.

No, you can take notes perfectly well on an A16 iPad. I did for many years. Now I have the Air and realistically it's about the same. I never noticed the non-laminated screen unless I was specifically looking for the air gap. I did once. OK, it's there, no big deal. Same OS, same apps. Not worth the
