13 inch ipad m5 watching while laying in bed

Hey guys, I want the advice of m5 13 inch iPad users. I am thinking of trading my 11 inch ipad for a 13 one tomorrow. The thought of there’s a bigger option is pissing me off (and no i cant have both) hows your video watching experience while laying on the bed and it is resting on your chest or holding in your hands? I watch alot of movies so just wanted to know if the big size is manageable in this situation. I have an option to put it to my side in bed but thats not ideal…or in general how uncomfortable can it be if im holding it in my hands for like 2 hours while laying in bed

iPad locked to Owner

I have recently become the owner of an iPad 7th gen. It was in the lost and found and went unclaimed for 6 months, so our policy allowed me to claim it. I performed a factory reset, but I am now getting the "iPad Locked to Owner" message.

I have tried to manually change the DNS configuration to bypass this message, but I am still unable to unlock it. Many YouTube videos recommend downloading software to unlock iCloud bypass, but I don't trust it. Any suggestions on how to get past the Activation Lock?

Senior proofing an iPad

Hi everyone. Was wondering if anyone knows of ways to senior proofing an iPad making it easy for them to play games and maybe see what’s going on on Facebook.

My mother is in her early 80s and likes to play games, but constantly getting mixed up or confused with ads or web links. I would like to know the best way to make it safe and easy for her to use!!!!

Is 128GB Enough?

Hello,

As Everyone knows Apple Increased their prices, I am still getting old units at MRP (no discount).

I found the following offers iPad Air 11inch m4 128GB and iPad a16 256.

I will use it for academic purposes and the only games if I will ever play would be Genshin Impact and Chess. I want to go towards the iPad air due to longevity and it being latest however 128GB would be enough or not.

This looks like a really nice pick at $79 for the USB-C Magic Keyboard

This looks like a really nice pick at $79 for the USB-C Magic Keyboard. It's the version without Touch ID, while the one with it is going for around $150. Since I won't be using it every single day, I'm really having a hard time justifying paying double the price just for the fingerprint scanner. Do you guys think $79 is a good deal for the base model?

Unknown sensor part scratched, is it okay?

Just got this iPad pro M5 for two weeks, and i use it heavily since that. I just notice the glass of that circle i mark with red has been scratched, while the camera and Lidar are still pristine. Already cleaned it and wiped it with microfiber cloth and the scratches are still there. What is that sensor in the circle? And is it okay if it was scratched?

Where can I buy an iPad 11th Gen or iPad 10th Gen at the old price?

I was planning to buy an iPad 11th Gen (or even the 10th Gen), but the recent price hike has made it way more expensive.

Does anyone know where I can still get one at the old price? Maybe an offline store with old stock,

Any suggestions or recent experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 🙏🙏

My 10th Gen power button does cannot be pressed anymore

Because of that I could not open my iPad normally if I don't exert too much pressure, and ever since it has been stuck in "safe mode" maybe due to overpressing. Can it still be fixed? I've kept it away for almost a year until I can save up enough money for repair.

Recommendation

I’m undecided between getting a new iPad Air M4 for $499.99 out the door, or a used 11-inch iPad Pro M2 for $350 that includes two Apple Pencils and two cases.

I do not do any photo or video editing. I would mainly use it for YouTube, movies, browsing, casual gaming, and playing with my kid.

I know the ProMotion display is amazing, and I prefer Face ID over Touch ID. The Air is newer and would come with the peace of mind of buying new, but the Pro bundle seems like a great deal.

What would you choose?

I bought a refurbished iPad Air 4th-gen for ¥43.000 (~$266)

\I was looking for a device that would give me the best bang for my buck, so I decided to go with the 4th-gen iPad Air (2020). I've been using it mostly for note-taking (Apple Notes), web browsing, reading eBooks, and streaming. It also works flawlessly as a second monitor for my MBA via Sidecar.

So far, I'm pretty satisfied with my purchase and am looking to buy an Apple Pencil soon.

What are the most common/best time saving gestures, settings, etc?

I don’t use my Ipad much but am now trying to get familiar with the environment.

Here are some things I am learning….

*Drag from corner can be set to take screenshot.
*Swiping shift to a letter makes uppercase.
*Four/Five finger quick pinch takes you Home.
*Four/Five finger slight pinch and stop takes you to open apps.
*Four/Five finger swipe moves between recent open apps.
*Markups provide perfect shapes when you draw a recognized shape but hold it.
*Hold down space bar in a text field to move to exact location. (Is there a way to highlight from space bar?)
*Double tap a word in a text field to select it, triple tap for paragraph, and double tap and drag to select custom length.

Things I would love to have available…

*Gestures to take you directly to app library LIST from any screen, my favorite Android capability.
*Highlight text with keyboard to avoid having to stop typing and tap up in text field.
*Customize share menu to load it with favorite or most used apps, i.e. Save To Files
*Anything that you often use

How do I remove the subtle marks on my iPad?

I can't seem to remove these marks that came from my case (musty, I know huhu. Haven't used it in a while.). I've tried wiping it with an alcohol cotton wipe, didn't work. Cotton qtip budd seemed to work better but still wasn't as good as I wanted. Help?

The marks don't look obvious in the pic but it's like little dots.

Is an ipad right for me for college?

Incoming college freshman here, majoring in Plant Biology. My first-year classes will be primarily chemistry and math, though. I'm trying to set myself up to have the optimal studying experience, so I'm trying to determine what's right for me.

Previously, I've just used a notebook for each subject, with random loose papers thrown in there. I have incredibly atrocious handwriting, and although I attempt highlighting and diagrams/doodles, it's such a sloppy mess that going over notes is a nightmare. I'm not sure if using a note-taking app(also, recommendations?) would help me stay better organized/neater or not. Any tips regarding cleaning up my notes is also appreciated.

I'm also an incredibly frugal person and hate buying anything that I don't absolutely need/desperately want. If I buy an ipad and it ends up being a poor fit for me, I'll get super miserable every time I look at it haha

I have some cash from local scholarships + money from my summer job that I can use, though I'd prefer to spend this on future months of meal-prepping/savings so the cheaper the better.

It would mean a lot if I could get general recommendations on the right ipad for me, as well as accessories (I think the apple pencil, then a case, a screen-protector--I think there's ones that mimic paper??--) and a rough price estimate. I have an HP Laptop (won it in a raffle haha) so I don't need a keyboard.

Thank you in advance!
