Super loving excited to replace my iPad 7 with the 8. I picked up the 32GB version this past June and, while it's nice...I'd love more storage so I'm going for the 128GB 8th gen.

Chin Strap posted:Looking to buy my first apple thing since an iPhone 2. I've been android, but the state of android tablets is uninspiring to me. Work gave me a pixel slate but I am swapping it back for a normal laptop and for personal use I did not like Android as a tablet OS enough. I know I'm super late to this but... I have a Pixel 4 XL and an iPad 7th Generation 32GB. 1. It's not annoying to me, honestly. I don't really use the iPad for Google stuff but I do have Keep, Chrome, and Gmail that I use the most. 2. I don't have a screen protector on mine, I prefer a case that covers the screen. I use my iPad for art and I don't know if I'd like a screen protector. 2.5. As for a case, I have the Smart Cover from Apple and it's nice..but has zero protection. Apparently the Smart Case is low on protection too. I got https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WS6L2FZ/ before I got my Smart Cover and I like this better. It has much nicer protection AND can hold the Pencil. 3. I'm getting the 8th Gen iPad so I dunno if I can answer this question? I mean...I'd say go to a store, maybe Best Buy, and try out the iPads there. At least the BBY here in Nebraska lets me do that. The size difference between the standard and the Air wasn't that big last year. Despite the smaller bezels, I don't know if it'll be THAT big...it's mostly the internals that changed + Pencil 2 + Touch ID / Power Button. 4. Do not get 32GB. DO NOT GET 32GB. Seriously. I have a 32GB iPad and I've run out of storage many times now...and I've had it since June. Procreate, uses a lot, apparently. At least with how much I draw. 128GB is better so I'm switching to the 8th Gen iPad with 128GB storage. ThermoPhysical fucked around with this message at 18:07 on Sep 16, 2020 |

AdmiralViscen posted:Does the 8th gen iPad reuse any older bodies, the way the Air 3 was the former Pro 10.5? From my understanding, the 8th Gen iPad basically is the exact same as the 7th Gen but with the internals of the iPad Air 2019 (minus the screen).

I've got the iPad 8th Gen and I'm thinking of upgrading to the iPad Air 4 for the better screen and slightly bigger size for taking notes and reading books. I'd be using it for art via Procreate, class notes via GoodNotes, class books via VitalSource, and general YouTube/Plex/D+/Netflix/etc. vids. Should I grab that or wait for the new Pros and go from there? Apple is, apparently, not accepting trade-ins on the 2020 iPads though so who knows.

Thanks for the responses, I'll go with the iPad Air over the Pro..but now I'm wondering if I should just keep the 8th gen instead. It does have the non-laminated display and display size isn't as large as the almost 11 inch Air.

The Magic Keyboard is $100 everywhere... is it REALLY needed? I got an iPad Air coming next week and I'm wondering if I should pick up the case now or just go for https://www.amazon.com/ESR-Trifold-iPad-Air-2020/dp/B08L6N3M4L/ or maybe a bumper + smart folio combo like on my iPad 8th Gen? Anyone used ESR's trifold cases?

Sacred Cow posted:I have the magnetic one and it holds my iPad up without any signs of slipping. It doesn’t add much bulk but don’t expect it to protect it from a big drop if you’re worried about that. For $13-16 vs $200-300, you can’t go wrong. Hm...would you say it's at least as protective as https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08276JTHM/ and Apple's Smart Cover?

Ok. New question. I got a surprise gift card which knocks the Magic Keyboard down to $130 (or knocks the Apple Pencil 2 to $50). Wondering if I should get the Magic Keyboard while it's still on sale and pick up a trifold or magnetic ESR case too for when I don't want to type. That might be a better idea and then can give the keyboard to my mother with the 8th gen iPad?

I still don't understand screen protectors on a tablet.. I use my iPad Air 4 for Procreate and I'm 100% sure it'd eat through those $20 nibs from Apple like sandpaper... I know a lot of other artists LOVE Paperlike but...

GATOS Y VATOS posted:I've always used a Paperlike and I've changed nibs twice, and one of those was because I dropped my pencil and it landed on the nib tip and damaged it. Same reason I always used the felt tip on my Wacom Cintiq's pen- plastic against smooth glass feels like rear end when drawing. I think I've come to love drawing on glass from my time with the Pixelbook's Pen and screen. I did draw a bit on paper last week cause my iPad needed charging, and I did have more control. But I find I don't mind the glass on smooth pen tip though.

Looks like the new iPad Pro 11-inch's accessories will fit the 2020 iPad Air. This could be fun! Target had one of the accessories out and someone on Reddit tried to buy it (and took a pic). They couldn't sell it until April, but at least it confirms any of the new accessories will work. It mentioned the Apple Pencil 2...I wonder if the new Pencil will only work on the bigger Pro...

GATOS Y VATOS posted:Hey I know there are more of a few of you here who use your iPad for drawing and I just got this thing last week and it is really amazing. It makes the surface much nicer to draw on giving space to wrest your arms, it has foldable legs, and a carrying handle. HIGHLY worth it. You reminded me this existed and, for some reason, I saw the video ErgoJosh did on YouTube and thought he hated it...but no he loves it. I've got some extra PayPal cash and I need to stop my neck from hurting anyway so... I'm kinda mad I missed a 10% off discount code tho... it ended 10 days ago. haha Thanks!

GATOS Y VATOS posted:My only little complaint about it (which is nitpicking honestly) is that the space for the power cord to fit in will fit Apple's cable but not many third party ones. I have a monoprice USB-C cord that I got for the combo of price and length (6') and the plastic bit around the plug of the cable is too long to fit properly in the board's slot. Yah, I can see that being annoying. I got that same cable hah! Is it a really thick C-to-C cable? Was like $1 a cable or something on sale? I checked to see if I got the UPS shipping vs USPS (I didn't) and, experimentally, put one in my cart. I come back to an e-mail from SketchbookPro saying I forgot something in my cart and here's 10% off if I ordered it through the e-mail. Ah well. Maybe next time. The one I already ordered is shipping and will probably be here sometime next week! I'm excited.

""M1 will allow Procreate 5.2 to be up to four times faster. It will also include advanced accessibility features such as simplified touch controls, audio feedback and adjustable font sizes." https://www.creativebloq.com/news/procreate-3d-paint-2021 I feel like Procreate has made my decision for me.

Protocol7 posted:You know, I did just try and it didn't recognize the serial number. It then asked me to pick the model and I could only trade in up to an Air 3, so I guess their website doesn't support Air 4 trade-ins yet. At least not for iPads. I'm using an M1 MacBook Air (8-core GPU, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) alongside my iPad Air 4 and it's great. I set up a little desktop situation with the MBA and I suppose it works with the iPad too but iPad just mirrors itself on external displays. I'm hoping that changes on iPad OS 15 but who knows. I don't think the 2020 iPads or iPhones are refurbish-able or trade-able yet...nor the 2020 Pixels since I wanted to trade my Pixel 5 for a refurb iPhone 11 Pro Max but they aren't accepting them at the moment.

So far, my vision is crap enough that the 13" on the MBA is almost too small if it's too far away so I opted to just get a 27" monitor instead so I can sit a bit closer up on it and have more display.

GoatSeeGuy posted:I don't think Apple even messes with them aside from part recycling, even an iPad battery replacement is just a swap if I recall correctly. Yeah, when I went to pick up the M1 iPad Pro 12.9 from the Apple store, I was told to just get AppleCare+ because Apple doesn't do anything with screen replacements on any iPad, they'll just swap and that's it. AC+ makes that process cheaper (or free in some cases).

How long are replacement gift cards supposed to take to be e-mailed? I traded in an 8th gen iPad to the Apple Store, ordered a new Mini, cancelled it because I noticed it was the wrong storage, now I'm waiting on that card and I've been told 1-2 days, called Apple on day 2, got told 3-5, called on day 5 and then told "wait until day 6". Kinda driving me insane and not great CS... Should I just go back to the store or something or does it take 5-7 days?

I bought an iPad Air for sheet music and chord charts but obviously it's massive overkill for just that so I want to make sure I get the most I can out of it. I've been playing chess on it a bit and that's pretty fun, and I was using it for reading a bit but I already have a Kindle that I prefer. I tried using it for SA/Twitter but I love posting and typing on it is a bit tricky for me. What cool poo poo should I be doing with this thing to justify the cost to myself? I use my M1 12.9 for art and the 6th gen Mini for basically everything else. I got it with a cellular radio so I could take it anywhere and not have to worry about a wifi connection.

I'm an artist and have the M1 iPad Pro 12.9. It's pretty large and the canvas size is good but the weight is pretty hefty if you have to take it somewhere by hand. Also it seems that most 3rd party tools are for the smaller iPads so there's that. I was able to draw easily on the M1 iPad Air that the Apple Store had as it as easier to hold in one hand while drawing with the other. But the screen isn't as nice and colors not as vibrant. The colors being vibrant vs not could really hinder an artist too.
