My new iPad Air M3 can handle more than 100 layers in 4k drawing on Procreate but it heats up and starts to lag when I try to write a paragraph in default Notes/Journal apps

have to get Goodnotes/Notability with your iPad because how bad optimized default Notes app is To be fair, GoodNotes has horrible input lag when writing to the point that I find it basically unusable. And that's on a 2025 iPad Air with an M3 processor, their writing engine is just that old. Notabili

The iPad's "Sweet" Solution

I have an iPad Air 5th and an iPad Mini 6th. Neither is up-to-date, but neither is really bad. Looking at the current line-up of iPads, there is absolutely nothing I would need of them that my current iPads don't already do. Apple Intelligence? (Expletive) please, I have Macs with local LLMs for tha

Got the base iPad 11th Gen over M3/M4 Air. Don’t regret it any bit.

I used the 7th gen iPad for six years as a professional. I don't regret it at all. Same OS (until OS 26, and I upgraded to an Air last year) and same apps. The screen works, the Apple Pencil works, it was NO hardship. I don't care about a fancy screen, just functionality. And it functioned just fine

Weekly Discussion and Tech-Support Thread

Hi. I've bought my very first iPad, an Air M3 11" some 5 months ago and I also got an Apple Pencil Pro along with it because I was planning to take lots of notes. Then, after using it for a few weeks I noticed that whenever I take notes on Apple's Notes app the device gets crazy hot and the battery

How would you spend your USD 1,100 if you were a student (Mac a18 pro + iPad a16 or Macbook Air M5)?

I would choose the MBA M5 in your case. I didn’t really used my iPad Air m3 during my studies. Main problem was that apps like word are really limited on iPadOS. It can’t even do the automatic table of content and I can’t use my zotero plugin. Handwritten notes doesn’t work for me. It turns out that

Touchscreen totally unresponsive, iPad Air. Any fixes?

Estou passando pelo mesmo problema. Tenho um iPad Air M3 e o touch simplesmente parou de funcionar. Apenas a Apple Pencil responde, e mesmo assim, de forma irregular. Consegui colocar a senha usando a caneta (com muita dificuldade; cheguei até a bloquear o aparelho por 8 horas). Quando finalmente co
