The game keeps crashing.

I've played since launch mostly on a variety of iPads and this has been a constant problem for me until recently. I think the game is just poorly optimised for the relatively low RAM present in Apple devices and it's only gotten worse as they've added more content over the years. It became almost un

9th gen iPad still viable in 2026?

“I wouldn't see a problem running iPadOS 26 on iPad 9th generation, it has A13 Bionic chip which works great. And you are comparing iPhone with iPad” “First of all, iPhone and iPad are different devices (but still in some ways they are similar), and the experience will be more than decent on it.” If

iPad 12th gen..

I just bought the M5 MacBook Air and the iPad feels completely USELESS. Change my mind.

iPads are mostly used for note taking, sketching, media consumption and gaming. I bought a used iPad 9th gen less than a week ago cuz I wanted to sketch and also don't want to carry a ton of notebooks when I go to college. Main purpose is I always felt I needed a bigger screen but not a laptop which

Procreat/Ipad recommendations

for procreate you really want apple pencil 2 support - the magnetic charging is a game changer. ipad 9th gen works but uses the old pencil 1 which charges awkwardly. sweet spot is iPad Air 4 or iPad Pro 2018 11-inch. both run procreate perfectly, have pencil 2 support, and go for $300-400 refurbishe

iPadOS 26 has ruined my iPad experience

Same, my iPad 9th gens became a stuttering mess scrolling any social media feed on iOS26 and there are so many glitches with the keyboard and Safari; apps reloading all the time multitasking - I won't get another Apple device I've had enough.
