r/iPadOS

Is it convenient to do drafting on the ipad with the 3rd party keyboards on ipad ?

I’m having the worse luck with Apple care via phone support over an iPad Pro 12.9 4th generation… first they had me sit there for weeks until I evoked consumer law. Senior advisor said my item was backordered & boom a few hours later a replacement device is magically on its way. I was skeptical & I should’ve been because they sent me not only the wrong color but a damaged iPad. So I got that replaced after then new senior advisor tells me I would have to pay for it & that she used a cs code to get that replaced as I was promised an appeasement. She straight lied because my Apple care was transferred once that device shipped out. I specified please make sure they send the right color. I get the wrong color again. After back & forth I get a senior advisor who gets a CRU approved only for consumer relations to say no. So now I’m stuck with the wrong color again & a device that lags. I took it to Apple & they gaslit me to update the software even though they seen lagging & major battery depletion. I can’t make this shit up. I did send Tim a complaint I’m not sure if that’s even a thing but I tried. Any tips would be appreciated.

I’ve been getting more into external headphones and DACs with Apple devices lately, and honestly, proper custom EQ support feels like one of the biggest missing features in Apple Music right now.

The built in EQ on iPhone and iPad is extremely limited. It’s just presets with no real customization, and a lot of them also reduce volume noticeably. On Mac, at least Apple Music has a decent equalizer, but even there I still end up using a system wide EQ because AutoEQ profiles make such a huge difference.

What surprises me most is the iPad situation. Apple keeps trying to position the iPad as a more capable “computer-like” device, but Apple Music on iPad still feels far behind the Mac version in terms of audio controls and flexibility.

A more robust Apple Music experience on iPadOS could genuinely become a selling point for music enthusiasts and headphone hobbyists.

I even started looking into Android based DAPs just for better EQ options, but I’m not comfortable entering my main Apple ID password on random third party devices. App specific passwords would make that experience feel much safer.

A lot of people would absolutely benefit if Apple added:

• Proper customizable EQ for Apple Music on iPad, and if possible eventually on iPhone too
• Support for app specific passwords or safer authentication methods for Apple Music on third party devices and Android based DAPs

It honestly feels like Apple is missing an opportunity here. Improving the actual listening experience would matter far more to many users than some of the recent flashy features that don’t really change day to day usage.

It’s frustrating to finally have proper lossless music support that works great with wired audiophile headphones, but still not have a proper way to apply custom EQ on portable Apple devices.

i have an ipad a16 (11th gen) and i’m still on ios 18. is it worth it to update now?

Anyone know a good iPad app for remote development? Need something with multi windows feature (Stage Manager), SSH, a decent code editor, and ideally some git support. Tired of switching between 3 different apps.

Is there a restriction by apple that major browsers do not have home button.

My parents share an iPad at home, I'd love to have their profiles separated by their users (they both have iPhones) in the same way tvOS allows this functionality. Do you think Apple will make it possible? Even if that means buying iPads with the doble or triple storage to allow all the data in the iPad.
My iPhone storage is 280GB and my iPad Storage 165 GB. A Shared iPad will have to have at least 512Gb of Storage to split between two users and an active iCloud Account.

Are you willing to pay for more storage in order to enable multi user support on an iPad?

Is there a way to force an iPad to show the keyboard? I’m on a website on safari which I’m pretty sure expects me to have a physical keyboard to perform certain actions, but I assume that if I could just make the virtual keyboard show up then it would work.

Hey guys I hope someone can help me! I just recently had to replace my iPad because my previous one was damaged. I went and replaced it with AppleCare and everything seemed fine, up until yesterday when randomly out of nowhere my iPad would shut off and randomly restart without me doing anything. Mostly this has been happening every time I watch a YouTube video though I’m not sure that’s the direct cause. Does anyone know why this is happening even if it’s a completely new iPad? Like I literally just got it 3 days ago and then randomly it would switch off. My previous iPad didn’t have this issue up until the new iPad and the new software update. What could possibly go on? Will this pass or should I go back to apple? Please let me know!

i have an ipad air (5th generation) and I'm still on IpadOS 18.7.1 should i upgrade to 26.5 or should i upgrade only up to 18.7.8? I'm asking this because I've seen a lot of bad reviews about ios 26 and I don't know if all the problems I've seen people complaining about are fixed. I just want to know if i dhould upgrade to 18.7.8 or 26.5
