The 12.9 pro is incredibly light for what it is imo

It's the cases that make the 12.9 a brick. Use it naked and it feels amazing.

The Logitech Slim Folio Pro keyboard rules I’m never giving this thing up. I’ll deal with the heft (It’s not that heavy at all).

Both are massive failures due to no method of securing the pencil. (I still use the poo poo out of the magic keyboard though)

Unless you ever want to view something in portrait without taking the thing off or having a giant piece of plastic hanging off the side. The versatility of the Logitech meets my needs better but the Magic Keyboard is the way to go if it’s a laptop 95% of the time.

I just got my first ever iPad so apologies in advance if this question is dumb. How can I stop Spotify (for example, I'm seeing other apps do it as well) from downloading content to the iPad? It seems to mirror my phone but my phone has way more storage so I don't really need that same content downloaded on the iPad in most cases.

My Apple Smart Keyboard Folio is loving up in subtle ways. It acts like when you have the modifiers stuck down in windows and start typing and random things keep launching or happening. It’s very intermittent and there’s no way to clean the thing. Anything else I should try before going to the fruit stand or buying something else? It’s less than two years old on my iPad Pro.

Doesn't look like the OP is up to date - any advice on a good ipad for the value to use for streaming / general ipad stuff? Not looking for next-gen or crazy performance just good bang for the buck.

If you have a Best Buy in your area the 10th generation base iPad is on sale for $350. A lot of people say it's better to get the 9th generation that Apple is still selling but the 10th will probably get an additional year of updates, plus the 10th generation has the updated form factor of the more expensive models.

For $350 I’d honestly just jump to an Air on sale for like $100 more.

iPad 9 if you want a Pencil or you have other Lightning devices. iPad 10 if you don't have any other Lightning devices, but you don't want a Pencil. iPad Air if you want a Pencil.

I'm looking at the iPad comparison page on Apple's site and it seems to imply that the 11" model didn't go past the 4th generation. I thought both sizes got updates right up to the 6th gen? https://www.apple.com/uk/ipad/compare/ I was thinking about getting a battery replacement for my 1st gen Pro 10.5" (weirdly, the dodgy corner shop replacements here cost more than the £129 for an actual Apple Store one!) but if I can get a second-hand 3rd or 4th gen for not crazy money I might just look into that instead. Is there anything software-wise I'm missing out on by not getting the latest and greatest? It's mostly just used for web browsing but the 120hz screen is a must for games - though it was frustrating on my Pro missing on on stuff like text recognition in photos that my phone can do so an upgrade would be nice for that.

Yes it is a very dumb way to name things. They are the same otherwise other than screen.

I guess I'll be more than okay with a 3rd gen 11" Pro then if the price is right, I can't imagine the newer one is gonna bring that much of a benefit, even in all the "neural engine" machine learning stuff.

Question Mark Mound posted:Ahh, thanks for the explainer! Apple really need to drop the "generation" naming. The M1 11' pro barely touches the edges of the CPU because the OS is so limited. And any resource-heavy app is probably something you're going to want to use full-screen anyway, so multitasking is generally an on-starter. I would edit 2hr+ podcasts on mine with like 4 hours of footage up on screen and it never felt like the tablet was struggling to keep up. I think the M2 is only really good if you have a hyper specific workflow where you know exactly what you'll need it for in advance of buying it. Like if you need for some reason to export video at the absolute fastest benchmark speeds. I really feel like for their tablet lineup they kind of refined themselves into a weird corpo corner by putting the M1 in the air and pro iPads. Unless they go ahead and put an actual desktop OS on those things (or do something super demanding with AI in the future), those tablets are basically completed.

The pros age very well, even the older ones. I had a 10.5” cellular from 2017 that my kid ended up inheriting last year and up to that point it was still a laptop replacement for me. I wasn’t going anything heavy duty but for a non-artist/video editor it was more than adequate five years later. Unless there’s a massive sea change in computing power need at the laptop level I think the new Pro’s battery will give out long before it’s obsolete. That said kill the MacBook line and make iPad OS have a docking mode that functions like a desktop OS and my life gets much better. They won’t do it for business reasons but man would it be nice.

Question Mark Mound posted:Ahh, thanks for the explainer! Apple really need to drop the "generation" naming. AFAIK there’s no difference between the M1 and M2 iPad Pro beyond the chipset. Woot and Amazon fairly regularly have been selling official refurb and new-old-stock M1 models for like ~50% off, which is how I got my NOS M1 iPad in November. It rips. There’s a big update coming this year supposedly bringing a full physical redesign of the iPad Pro and its peripherals (Magic Keyboard, etc) with an OLED screen and Magsafe being the marquee features, but they’re also expecting a commensurate price bump.
