Nice case bro. Can provide the link?

Arrgh, the iPad 2018 comes with a 10W charger and not a 12W one?

That doesn’t sound right.
I just think it is strange for them to remove the option to set the brightness, manually.
Others?

Swipe up to see your control centre, then hold brightness icon. Can adjust there.

Did you turn off true tone? Mine is ok. Might be ios bugs.

Disable the auto-brightness.

Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Display Accomodations -> Turn Off Auto Brightness

Why Apple makes it more difficult than it is is anyone's guess

Insane battery life on the iPad 2018

Some discounts on Lazada, but only for the WiFi model.
Having had the iPad 2018 for three weeks now, I concur with your observations. I noticed that when I'm downstairs (my router is upstairs) the WiFi connection is pretty spotty, especially if I'm on the 5 GHz band. It seems to get disconnected every now and then compared to my previous iPad Air 2 which was quite stable.

iPad 2018 users with Apple Pencil, is the Pencil useful? I still can't bring myself to buy a RM400 stylus just for casual note-taking. I'm no sketch artist!

Writing experience is very different between ipad 2018 vs ipad pro is it? I can really write properly on my ipad pro.. like really writing on real thing, doesn’t feel odd at all.. unlike on my note 8, still feel odd, my writing become bad, uneasy.. i once considering to get ipad 2018 coz i mostly interested on note taking ability.. if so, then i’ve made a good choice

Ya, still on the fence with the Apple Pencil. I bought an Adonit Jot Mini for cheap at the Machines warehouse sale but it doesn’t work at all with the iPad 2018

just to update, i luckily had chance to really tried ipad pro 12.9, 10.5 and the new ipad 2018.. i mean try like having them with me for at least couple days to really experience them.. i end up settle with ipad pro 10.5.. below are briefly my thought of them:

ipad pro 12.9: as a working machine, man the ipad is simply awesome. i really can do office works on it.. writing and reading was bliss.. really.. but, if u want to bring that ipad for mobile, it is cumbersome, trust me.. if u want to take the 12.9, imagine its like getting a laptop (or macbook i must say) but with the benefit of the mobile apps and functionalities.. being a “laptop” by mean, it is carried around in a bag, and used on table, holding it like a mobile device is simply not appropriate, i could say.. once i brought it with me walking in mall while accompanying my wife shopping, first it takes my effort to carry it around, like yeah there is a thing i carry that can even makes my hands sore for a long time, to add worst was that a number of time some makcik pakcik asked me “is that a TV you are carrying?”..no,i’m not bluffing here, real life experience.. my wife lough hard at me at no mercy.. at office, it became a centre of attraction whenever i bring it into meeting, some ppl said it awkward looking, some also amazed when they tried it.. i concluded, maybe i cant live with this.. as i was also intended to have the ipad as my companion, it was just cant be convenient in presence, but a bliss as a working tool..

then i moved to ipad pro 10.5. from a gigantic one to this one, it felt a lot smaller.. like really noticeable smaller.. mobile, yes.. easy to carry around.. note taking and reading are perfect.. but for doing office works, it reminds me of my old macbook air 11”.. when i wished the screen could be bigger (which i ended up changed it for a 15” macbbok pro which still with me untill now).. but as it was with the macbook air, it is still useable for office works. i remember my previous ipad mini, which i thought i could use for mobile cum productivity, failed because i can’t avoid myself from zooming when reading or doing works, which mean the screen size apparently too small for the job.. ditched.. but on this, yeah zooming is not always required except to view detail small things.. so yeah the screen is just enough for the works.. just enough although not really satisfying (makes me missed the 12.9 at some point).. but above all, i like the fact it is convenient to be my companion, and it is always with me now whenever i need it.. makes every penny spent is worth.

but i can’t refrain myself from curiousity of experiencing the new ipad 2018. i thought, the size is just a tad smaller isn’t it, also pencil capable, and ridiculously cheap! luckily, my friend just purchased one, and being a first time apple user himself, he asked me a lot about it how to deal with apple stuffs, which i end up asking a favor to bring it home for a couple of night.. so, i backed up my 10.5, stawed it away, and transfer my ipad into the 2018 for a couple days.. from that experience, to me, 10.5 just a perfect size.. yeah 9.7 sounds like similar size, but when doing works, man i just wish i could have just a tad bigger view! performance wise, although the ipad pro feel snappy, but the ipad 2018 has nothing for me to complaint about, it is ready to be used conveniently, it does not give me any headache at all.. so for the money paid, i would say worth every penny. seems like apple doesnt even compromise anything on this thing. about pencil writing, intially it does feel a bit different with the gap on the screen, but i get used to it pretty quickly, and still write properly. screen refresh rates has zero effect for writing purpose, honestly.. if you never tried ipad pro, i bet you will be just happy writing on ipad 2018.. another thing to add, the feel of the ipad on hands, i have the feeling like the 10.5 ipad is rock solid, but the ipad 2018 feels a bit “hollow”..? not sure how to describe it.. i finally happily returning to my ipad pro 10.5..

final verdict?

ipad pro 12.9= laptop.. as a mobile device, you will find yourself ridiculed by man. 

ipad pro 10.5= a mobile device with laptop capability.. higher satisfaction point.. a keeper for me.

ipad 2018= should i did not bought any ipad pro before, i may say apple, just take my money, i take this ipad 2018 home happily.. but after you test drive better car, its hard to come back, sort of

hope this could help some people in deciding.. cheers

The reason i want to do words document of this ipad is bcoz i'm writing papers.. idea come anytime, and hard to find time during office to do writig, hence will chip in time during meals or free times, or while waiting for my wife shopping. Lol

i never unpair the pencil.. ya i noticed the battery keep on draining eventho i’m not using, bummer.. but it yet to die when i need it.. i normally charge it 100% every morning before going to work or before going out.. come back in the evening normally still around 50%.. for now it doesnt bugs me, yet

Yes, agreed. I’ve tried the top tablets from Sony, Samsung and even Huawei. The iPad remains in a class of its own. It’s a pity though, coz sometimes for work, I need flexibility in terms of file management and transfer which is severely restricted in iOS. If only the Surface Pro was more affordable and comes in a LTE version...

No idea, thinking of reformatting the ipad....the wifi connection kept dropping off 

I shall check the router setting tonight

the control center will now require a swipe down from the top right like iphone X on ios12, instead of swiping up from the bottom in ios 11...

I think just rest ur finger on the Touch ID portion will do to unlock it. No need to press even the screen is off.

after update my ipad to ios 12.1, i only noticed now they showing the date at top left.

any other new stuffs in the update? maybe i missed others beside the shown "date" in home page

Anyone experiencing Wifi issue with this model of Ipad ?

Awfully slow, holding iphone 6 and ipad on each of my hand, iphone 6 wifi speed is normal with 2 bar wifi signal. While ipad only has 1 bar wifi signal.

One thing i realised that my ipad wifi setting has IPv6 address, but I have already disabled it on my router.

Any one know why ?
