    iPad mini What if: iPad mini with Force Touch doubles as Magic Trackpad for Mac?

    Sometimes, like right now, I sit at the desk with my iPad mini. I look at the mini, beside my mouse, and lament the Magic Trackpad I cannot currently afford. It gets me thinking, is the iPad mini not the perfect size for a Magic Trackpad? All they'd need to do is give the mini Force Touch (and...

    iPad mini My use of my iPad Mini has dropped dramatically after getting an iPhone 15 Plus

    Hi everyone, As some of you know, I bought two iPad minis (long story, check my previous threads if you want). The iPad Mini has been great!

    iPad Pro iPad Pro 11inch M2 screen rippling issue?

    I picked up this iPad Pro about two weeks ago. And today while I was writing in Goodnotes I realised that there was a 'rippling' effect that was happening in the bottom centre of the screen (portrait mode with Face ID module facing up, slightly above and to the left of charging port). It didn't...

    iPad mini Any ideas on what to do with a spare iPad Mini?

    Hi everyone, So, long story short (which you can find the longer version in one of the threads), I have two iPad Minis (current model), one that is unopened. I’ve tried selling it locally, but no dice (at least not for a realistic price). I’m thinking of just keeping both, but I’m wondering...

    iPad mini iPad Mini or iPhone 14 Plus?

    Okay, so… I’m still wondering pondering whether to get an iPad Mini or something else. Before the alternative was a Kindle Fire. Now I’m debating whether to get an iPhone 14 Plus. Obviously it’s smaller, but it has a better screen and can be a little more versatile due to being a phone. Also...

    iPad mini iPad mini 6 “Magic Keyboard” alternative - any good?

    I came across this third party Magic Keyboard case for the iPad mini 6 and I’m wondering if anyone has tried it, or know about the brand?

    mini 6 jelly scrolling on iPadOS 16

    So, Beta 3 rolls around and I figure it's probably stable enough to load onto my mini 6. For me, it's not a critical device like the phone, although I'm sure I use it more than my phone. Personally, since I like and use the pencil with Notes, I was intrigued by the AI driven "Handwriting...

    iPhone SE (2022) iPhone SE (2022) & iPad Mini, or wait for iPhone 14?

    Hi everyone! I wanted to get your thoughts on this. I currently have an iPhone SE. It’s been pretty alright since I didn’t go out much. But lately I’ve been going out a bit more and the battery on this thing is horrible. I love how light it is, but it’s died on me a few times out in the wild...
