iPad mini (A17 Pro)

I still have my 2021 M1 iPad Pro 12.9" and have no desire to upgrade yet. The M silicon is truly a work of marvel from Apple and have only had a previous iPad Mini 5 for 4.5 years, when I upgraded to the iPad Mini 7 (and that one was noticeably slower after all those years: A12 to A17 Pro)

Picked up a Pixel 9 Pro Fold yesterday for A$1000 (~US$650) — couldn’t pass on that deal.

I’ve been using an iPhone 16 alongside an iPad mini (A17 Pro), and my hope was that this single device could replace both. That way, I can hand the iPad to my 5-year-old (who’s already broken two iPads before)

Wondering by if anyone else is seeing this. It is only occurring with my Apple iPad mini A17 Pro model. MAC randomization is disabled - Private WiFi address is set to off. However, when I wake it after not using it for a day, I’ll get an alert from Firewalla about a new device using MAC randomizatio

Currently using Stage Manager on my mini 7 with an external display, keyboard & mouse. Didn’t realize how useful this feature is. Now I’m debating returning for an iPad Air, even though it’s a little bigger. Or, never updating my mini 7, because this Stage Manager “tweak” was patched out in ipadOS 1

For those who don’t know. This is an old photo from last year. They stopped advertising the 1st and 2nd Gen Apple Pencil since the iPad mini A17 Pro release on their website. You only get the Pro and the USB-C as the only options today if you buy the latest iPads, but you can still buy the old ones.

Finally Journal on iPad!!!!! (I hope I don’t need apple silicon for that otherwise my iPad mini 6th gen is going to get a replacement pretty soon) EDIT: “New software features will be available this fall as a free software update for iPad Pro (M4), iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation and later), iPad

Google's Gemini is so much better and helpful in my daily life. I can just ask: "What are the cheapest flights between Chicago and Orlando in the next 3 months for a 7-day trip?" Gemini will give me a list of cheap round trip flights including the flight numbers, dates, and prices. I double checked

Yeah, a matte one, iPad mini A17 Pro, Pencil USB-C. I make notebooks on Preview (with a PDF legal pad template). Currently waiting for one that is actually gritty like paper. Don't care if I wear out nibs, Apple makes more. It matches my on the go system of literal pen and A5 paper. Scan and load in

iPad mini 7: Mainly use to consume all sorts of media - YouTube, Netflix, News Articles, Books. I also use it for journalling, doodling, checking emails, scrolling through photos etc. It's just nice to have a powerful device that you can bring around everywhere. I love it especially for travel if I

The toolbar tool icons look different (not an issue) and they’ve been reordered from how I configured them (an issue). That’s incredibly annoying but I was willing to reorder my tools again. Alas, when I go into Document Editing settings, Toolbar Customization isn’t even an option anymore (bigger is
