Is the iPad mini still an up to date device in 2026?

I'm thinking of buying an iPad mini very soon, but according to new rumors, I've heard that they're going to introduce the new iPad mini at the end of October (not officially approved by Apple yet) . Do you think I should wait or buy an iPad mini? (I'm a college student)

Pencil randomly stops working.

The pencil randomly stops working in the middle of the ipad. The one used in the video is a knockoff pencil, but when using an apple pencil (borrowed from a friend), it works perfectly fine.

So my question is, what could be the cause of this? and can this problem increase further to a point where the apple pencil also starts having the same issues?

Anyone using the Mothca matte glass screen protector on their iPad?

I have my first ever iPad and I'm thinking about getting the Mothca matte glass screen protector, but I'd love to hear some real-world experiences before buying it.

  • How much does it affect image quality, sharpness, and colours? Is the grainy effect really that noticeable?
  • Does it affect the Apple Pencil's performance?
  • Does it wear down the pen tips quicker?
  • Would you recommend it, or do you regret getting it?

I'd really appreciate any feedback, especially from people who have been using it for a while. Thanks! 😊

*** in case you don't use a matte SP, what do you use instead to have a better writing and drawing experience?

Why has my Rock Paper Pencil screen protector formed this circular indent around the middle?

I attempted cleaning debris off the protector and my iPad screen and I still can’t get rid of it. The indent is still on the protector after taking it off so i’m assuming it’s some form of damage. When drawing inside the circle is fine but outside the circle has air pockets. Has anyone else experienced this because I can’t find anything like this online.

Do I need to buy another pencil?

I accidentally dropped my chair into a massage chair and now it’s not working.

It’s still connected to my iPad and it’s still charging well, but it’s not reacting to the screen

The photo attached is how it looks underneath the nib, i dunno if it’s broken or not

Please tell me if I should just buy another nib or the entire apple pencil

Alternative Pencil for new iPads?

Hi, just upgraded from my ipad Air 4th gen to an iPad Air M2 and my Pencil 2 won't stick nor charge magnetically anymore so I was wondering, whether I can get a good alternative Pencil that sticks and charges magnetically... hover and tap and all the other stuff is not soo important.

Any recommendations? Saw Post from 2 year ago which said there arent any, but I assume by now there must be a few options?

Thanks!

ipad pro 13 inch (m4) 512 gig not worth the cost

I got it when it came out and I just wasn't really educated much about tech and i saw this giant screen sexy ipad for the cost of over 1.5k. after saving up for it i used this thing to play btd6 and watch netflix/youtube with my ex. i tried seeing what else this bad boy could do after a few months and realized how restrictive it was. It was nice while it lasted but if anyone were to ask me what ipad to get the answer is no. I sold it and now just waiting for the astra 2 to restock. Moral of the story is to get a tablet.

Off and Apple Pencil not working right. Is it the pencil or the iPad? iPad was refurbished. Any solutions for this? It’s only working where the screen is colored.

Is it possible to remove the split screen controls from the corner on the new update?

Whenever I'm drawing and trying to split screen between pinterest and procreate the little x is always in the way. It covers the back button on pinterest and I have to precisely click it or get rid of the split screen to hit the back button. This wasn't a problem till it was updated a while ago. I was trying to ignore it but it makes it way harder to switch references.

My iPad Pro M5 11” with pencil pro and Magic Keyboard + iPad Mini 7 and 3rd party Magic Keyboard with magnetic Apple Pencil dock (turns the mini into truly the ultimate netbook)

Also have a MacBook Pro m4 pro 14”, an iPhone 16e, AirPods Max series 2’s, and an Apple Watch series 11. I’m uh a lil in the ecosystem LOL but I just love how seamlessly interconnected everything is! The Magic Keyboard on the iPad mini is from Dexnor, I got it on Amazon and so had its been absolutely fantastic. The keyboard sleeps and wakes alongside the iPad mini when the hinge is opened and closed, gets great battery life esp with no backlight or the lowest brightness setting. It has a lil tucked away compartment for the Apple Pencil that has magnets to keep it in place, there’s no shot of it falling if in your bag or w/e. Yes it’s a lil pricey, but it’s nothing compared to the price of the official Magic Keyboard in my m5 pro 11” and besides the lower quality it functions almost identically. Main differences are, The iPad mini keyboard is wireless although it’s quite impossible to tell once it’s paired once as it has no issues INSTANTLY reconnecting to its last saved device everytime it’s powered on aka opened up. The other differences are it doesn’t add an additional usb c port since it’s not a physical connection it can’t act as a “hub” almost, and the keyboard portion is made of nice plastic vs aluminum in the real deal. For the iPad mini tho, it’s absolutely fantastic and I’d recommend it for anyone looking for a keyboard+trackpad case for their mini and want what seems like one of the best offerings around. I’ve tried other keyboard cases on my iPad mini before but none have been quite this “Apple-like” in that it “just works” and does so flawlessly and consistently

Apple Pencil Pro lag on new iPad Air M4 — any fixes?

Hi everyone,
I recently got a new iPad Air M4 with an Apple Pencil Pro, and I’m noticing noticeable lag/delay while writing or drawing.

It happens mainly in apps like Freeform and Goodnotes. The Pencil feels slightly behind my hand rather than responding instantly, which is especially noticeable when writing quickly or making small strokes.

My iPad is already updated to the latest stable iPadOS 27.1, so I’m wondering if this is a software issue, an app issue, or something wrong with my setup.

Things I’ve already tried:
● Restarting the iPad
● Re-pairing the Apple Pencil Pro
● Updating to iPadOS 27.1 stable
● Closing and reopening the apps
● Testing in both Freeform and Goodnotes

Has anyone with an iPad Air M4 + Apple Pencil Pro experienced similar lag?

If so, what fixed it for you? Is there any specific setting I should check, or is this a known iPadOS/Freeform/Goodnotes issue?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
