Haven’t seen the Keynote yet, but not thrilled about reading the multitasking feature only works on the M1 iPads

time to get a M1 iPad Pro

i am waiting for the iPad Pro to get updated... but seems like no luck.

I'm spoilt between the air or the pro...I just need it for emails and zoom so which should I get? Sometimes I think the pro but sometimes I think the air will just fit my profile, what do you sifu think, which should I go for??

I haven't watched the keynote, but read about it online.
I'm a bit perplexed on why Apple would limit the number of windows that can be opened at one go: 4 on the iPad, and another 4 on an external display.

It's like they finally let iPad users to multitask like a proper computer, but only 50%

they are strong in marketing. if ipad can fully replace a macbook in anyway, no one will buy macbook anymore.

if you recall a couple of years back they had an ad for the iPad Pro featuring the tagline "your next computer is not a computer".
At the time they marketed the iPad pro as a laptop replacement. Unfortunately while the iPad Pro has the powerful hardware, the software is very limiting.

Probably next year, I guess. My iPad Pro is still working great, really no excuse to even consider upgrading…

Just the Air will do. For that kinda usage the Pro is a little overkill.

Yeah, and they keep marketing the iPad as a laptop replacement… Uhh, no, Apple… That ain’t happening…

it is a 'computer' technically since most workflow now can be even done on an ipad pro such as video editing just that it is a full fresh computer.

urs is 2020 or 2021 ipad pro?

i wish the 11-inch will get mini-led eventually.

never way, this year i will finally change my iphone to iphone 14 pro max for sure.. haha.

Mine is 2020, the second gen one.

I get new iPhones every year but hold on to other Apple products just a tad longer… iPad Pro since 2020, Apple Watch 5 since 2020 and the longest one - MacBook Air 2015!

i see.. indeed macbook does not need to upgrade so often, same as ipad.
i am having my macbook pro 2017 also. haha.

done update on my ipad pro 2021

You’re using an M1 iPad?

iPad Pro 2021 is all M1 right?

Yup

Yes, M1

Okay Stage Manager is kinda fun - still fooling around with this Beta OS, using it on my main iPad.

A little bummed that the lockscreen for iPad OS does not get the widget.

So basically A series iPads get nothing except a new clock font on the lock screen.

But could you add multiple lockscreens though like on the iPhone?

Nope, can’t add either. Even the wallpaper pack for iPad OS16 is only limited to one set, a stark contrast to the iPhone’s.

I guess they expect us to customise the iPad less compared to the iPhone

Wasted screen estate la bro - imagine having those widgets for a much ‘larger iPhone’ 🤣

But I surely hope they will add it in the later Beta stage.

Anyone with a 2018 Pro or Mini 6 installed iPadOS 16.1 yet? How’s the stability?

how to update to 16.1? my ipad pro m1 no such update

https://soyacincau.com/2022/10/26/singapore...es-immediately/

The new update doesn’t appear at the same place as previous ones. It’s at the bottom now.

Just updated to iPadOS 16.1.

Dissappointed that proper External Monitor Support is still not ready yet.

I am using M1 iPad Pro but I try to use USB C to HDMI cable but unable to extend the screen.

Anyone can recommend the accessory for this?

anyone here on 16.2 beta?

You only can mirror the screen.

Cannot extend yet.

Wait for new firmware update. Currently, only the Dev beta can extend screen.

Anyone on a external monitor setup with ipad & iPad OS 16.2?

Wanna ask if you're able to watch youtube on one screen while gaming on another screen (or ipad)?

I saw some utube, but it give me an impression that if an app got sound or something, ipadOS will stop/pause youtube if the app is "active" / in-focus.

Can anyone here confirm that the apps such as Lazada, Shopee, Taobao do not run in full screen on iPad?

Now what's the latest version?

Read that 17 coming this July?
