I'd just need iTerm2 and kerberized ssh for the iPad to be able to do a day of work for me. Every ssh client I've ever tried on iOS has been pretty bad, mostly because I need multiple sessions that last several hours. Kerberos support is pretty rare too.

Wait, can I somehow pair my OG Apple Pencil with the newer iPads that don't have a lightning port??

The good news is that the Pencil2 is a huge quality of life/use/storage upgrade so while it's not cheap it's definitely worth the upgrade (IMO)

most/all of the third-party pencils work with both v1 and v2 ipads, so the limitation is almost certainly in software, but there isn't really anything you can do about it

Either via the lightning port for Pencil1 or via the magnetic charging spot along the edge for Pencil2. If anything it's a hardware limitation on the part of the Pencil.

I know it’s Apple and these things happen (it’s the screen causing it to be slightly bigger I assume) but this is pretty lol that the prior magic keyboard won’t work with the new one. And yeah, probably not many people who have it are likely to be upgrading (because they recently got said last gen pro) but still kind of a miss. https://www.theverge.com/2021/4/23/22399095/apple-12-9-inch-ipad-pro-2020-models-magic-keyboard-incompatible

Yeah I wonder how hard this “doesn’t work” is. I used my 2018 iPad Pro keyboard cover for a while on my 2020 until I bought one that actually fit. The only problem was that the camera bump cutout didn’t fit so it was slightly separated from the iPad in that corner, otherwise electrically it worked just fine. Wonder if this is the same and there is actually enough tolerance in the system for it to just work.

I’m sort of kicking myself for buying a new 2020 iPad Pro 12.9 at the start of this year now. Is the M1 Pro expected to be a huge leap forward from the 2020 Pros?

I have an M1 Mac and it’s a huge leap forward. The M1 chip is pretty legit but I’m not sure how it translates vs other A series. It’s probably substantial imo

MarcusSA posted:I have an M1 Mac and it’s a huge leap forward. I looked it up. The M1 and A14 use the same cores. The M1 has four performance cores and four power efficient cores while the A14 has 2 and 4 respectively. The M1 also has twice as many GPU cores. There are some cache size differences as well but cache hit performance isn’t going to be noticeable unless you are using certain types of datasets. The M1 is clocked slightly faster but it’s a small and probably not very noticeable delta. So, if you are doing more intensive processing the M1 will be noticeably better but if you are doing consumer stuff like surfing the web and watching Netflix you won’t see any difference at all.

I know it’s an awful, apples-to-oranges comparison, but I’ve heard the efficiency cores as described as “4 efficiency cores is roughly the power of 1 power core”, so you’re looking at maybe an almost 2-1 comparison. Doing a 10 second geekbench search comparing the processor in the old iPad Pro to M1 seems to peg about a very rough 2-1 difference.

There's probably differences in how the power ramps up for both operating systems as well. I imagine it errs on the side of lower power usage on iPad OS for sake of battery life. I have no facts to back that up, so it's probably not a thing, but still.

Yeah how much faster iPad Pro with M1 is to the previous two generations in regular use is definitely something I'm curious about too. Synthetic benchmarks aside, my A12X iPad Pro is just as fast as it ever was, which is fast enough for my creative purposes. The only time I'm waiting for stuff is waiting the 4 seconds for Hearthstone to load, and I can't imagine this will change that much, since I think most of that time is probably syncing with a server. I imagine the new screen is significantly amazing though.

GPU wise these numbers are better and you should expect a good improvement on things that can take advantage of it. Murgos fucked around with this message at 13:34 on Apr 26, 2021 |

Question: I've never pre-ordered an apple product with a trade in with the exception of iPhones which are swapped the same day so no time without my phone has happened. I am planning on upgrading my 2019 12.9" Pro to the new version on Friday via pre-order, but will be putting my older model up for trade-in. Due to the fact that I use my ipad for work and can't be without it, do I send in my old model once I receive the new unit and then once it's received get refunded the amount of trade in?

Here's the process: Get quote from Apple and submit the trade-in form. Trade-in company (Apple doesn't handle these directly) sends you a box You have so many days to send in device Mail it in Once they receive it, they inspect it and if it all checks out they email you a gift card.

If you can make it to an Apple Store (and they're accepting them) I'd go to one for a trade-in instead of mailing it in. It's faster and you don't have to worry about the trade-in company loving you over. There have been reports of Phobio denying trade-ins or lowering the value due to damage or defects that clearly aren't present.

For a long time it was everything except Macs. Those had to be done online. Of course right now with COVID some stores are limiting services so you'll have to check on the website.
