Heres a website that scales things to their actual size on your monitor if that helps

The iPad pro is super huge

I wonder if there will be education pricing like on the smaller iPads.
It'll probably launch at 5AM PST like the new apple TV did.

I think they stopped that whole "taking the store down to update it" thing recently. So we probably won't know until the second it happens. :iiam:

Wait, so are you guys just holding the iPad over your head in bed? Seems like a safety hazard. Just rest it on your stomach and hold it up with one hand. I'm probably the weakest goon alive and I have no trouble using the pro in bed or on a couch

Just how likely is Apple updating the 12.9 at WWDC? Do they usually do hardware there? I fell for the rumors of a march update so I sold mine and I want to buy a new one

Are these beats headphones for the back to school promo good enough for me to bug apple about? I bought my new giant ipad about two weeks ago and could probably be sent a pair if I feel like bothering them

Okay cool, I guess I'll bother them later. Hopefully they fit in my tiny ears

track day bro! posted:

The only thing I miss is doing the 3D touch on the keyboard to bring up the cursor. Is there another way to do this on iPad cuz I use that so much on my phone.

You can long press the spacebar for the cursor thing. I think two finger dragging on the keyboard also works

You can click a link with two fingers to do that now. At least I think that's new?

The next gen pros will most likely be an iterative upgrade with an A13X processor and an ugly triple camera. If you can find a really good deal on the current gen models and don’t feel like waiting a month for a slightly better deal, I say go for it. I doubt we’ll be getting anything cool like an OLED screen or a second USB C port, but I never thought we’d get standard USB drive support so what do I know.

I'm not sure if its worth the extra $300 to you but the higher screen refresh rate is very nice. And its also nice being able to easily transfer something from a windows computer now that the Pro is compatible with USB drives, I'm not sure if the air can do that.

I’d like to see what the difference between the A12X and the A12Z is. They aren’t touting increased performance too much so maybe it just has more RAM and an extra core?

I used to like ComicZeal the best but the developer fell off a cliff or something. I’ve been using chunky and think it’s okay, maybe I’ll give Panels a try too

Panels.app can’t do side by side pages how pointless. They’ve been promising it for two years now, I wonder if it’s harder to implement than I think.

Since they started allowing external drives I’ve had zero space trouble. Is that a pro only feature?

I wonder if it will be another three years before a mini update. It’d really benefit from the bezel shrinkage.

I've found that with the inclusion of the USB-C port managing storage isn't such a hassle anymore. I keep all my mangas and videos on my little 256GB USB-C drive and that leaves a ton of room for games and other stuff I want to keep on there directly. I do have a 256GB pro so my advice might not be very useful.

I have 64GB and is only becoming an issue recently cause I needed to do some video stuff on it. Basically just putting a bunch of clips together and...not enough space left to export the project :downs:

What app(s) do you use, like can you open stuff straight off the storage without copying over in the Files app or do you use other stuff?

With videos I can watch stuff straight off the storage with nPlayer, with manga I haven’t found an app I like where I don’t have to copy over from the external but chunky is fast enough it isn’t really a hassle.
