anyone here using ipad mini as car player that using Bluetooth to connect to car main unit and sound will out from car's speaker ?

it will launch around september-november this year. currentlu running beta 2 ipados on both my ipad mini 5 and ipad pro 11in. some bugs here and there but overall quite stable for my daily usage.

I tried the configuration profile for iOS 13 (+iPadOS) Developer beta 2 and currently downloading the update.

IPadOS: So far so good. 

Yes exactly. Install the profile and then do the software update like usual. No Itunes needed.

iPad mini 5th comes with 10W adapter right. If i use the cable given and 12W adapter, would it be any different? Like faster charging? Would it hurt the iPad in the long term charging it with higher W adapter?

it wont hurt the ipad definitely, but the battery yes.... the high heat will eventually weaken the battery life in long run..

What tools do you guys use to transfer files from windows pc to your iPad?
Any other tools than iTunes?

Anyone here using the iPad mini for sketches/drawing?

I'm getting in touch with my more artistic side and would like a super portable device.

Currently borrowing my friends Surface Pro, but would much rather my own device.

Gonna pop in to a store to give it a try, but wanted to ask actual users here who might have their own pearls of wisdom.

My worry is the size actually. Reviews are saying that speed etc is all good. Also what you said regarding the pencil. Only downside in most reviews is the size - it's kinda small so gotta constantly zoom in and out. I'm not sure if I wanna drop almost 2k for a mini + pencil, or save up for a pro + pencil instead. That'll easily cost me double though. So a bit hesitant for something that I'm just starting out on.

Seriously, iPad mini should not need a pencil. Unless Apple comes out with smaller pencil to match its size. Else seriously going for higher iPads is the way to go.

Well that's what a lot of reviews are saying. Problem with the bigger iPads is...well, they're bigger. Not so portable means won't always be with me. Having said that, if it's so small, it's hard to get anything done, will it still be used?

Hence asking for feedback from actual content creators here.
It was brought up in one of the reviews actually. The pencil feels like drawing with a crayon on the mini

Just hoping for an actual user to chime in before I try it in person at a store.

Oh? So it's the same with a Mac then huh. Cool that they made it the same across all OS. Thanks.
Thanks for the confirmation. Something to consider if one needs data, exclusively for an iPad.
Right? Is there actually a usage case where it's beneficial? Genuinely curious.
Ah! A user with practical usage. Thanks for the input man! I too was eyeing the 11'' pro but the size doesn't look to be all too portable. The price tag is another thing to think about too.

Another question if you don't mind - do you do any sketching work on the mini? Or is it mostly for scribbling/note-taking?
