This wasn‘t exactly planned but man is it a nice upgrade

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)

How many of you would be moved by this Macbook A18 Pro?

I’m very tempted. I have the iPad mini 7 that has the A17 pro and that covers MORE than my power needs so the A18 pro in a laptop? I could be very swayed

I got my Pixel 9 Pro Fold yesterday - first impressions from an iPhone + iPad mini user

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)

Stage manager works amazing on the mini 7. It’s a shame Apple doesn’t officially support it.

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

Bring laptop or invest in mini tablet?

EDIT — Corrected some wrong info, and gave links to relevant information to "prove" it correct. —————————— Oh boy, I love tech. Don't mind my comment, but tldr; I'd go to the Apple store and see if you can experiment with Lightroom/CapCut to see if it'd work for your use case. Tbh I had very little

Do you have a screen protector on your iPad and do you use an Apple Pencil? Why or why not?

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
