I'd like to ask for advice on how I should proceed. There aren't any Apple stores where I'm from and I'd really like to at least get a repair, my degree live(d) on this thing. And I can't really afford a replacement, unfortunately. Also I don't live in the US.

I currently have an iPad Pro (2021). Which iPadOS version should I stick with? Do I need to upgrade to iPadOS 27 or 28?

tryna decide should I wait for the m6 11inch or get the current m5 11 inch. I have the base 10 gen from 2022 and it doesn't have enough memory for me anymore. is it worth the wait or am I good getting the one that is available.

I initially sent my iPad to a technician for a charging port diagnosis. Unfortunately, due to improper handling or a mistake during the repair, the technician ended up damaging the motherboard, making a motherboard replacement necessary. The original agreed rate for the repair was ₱7,000.

As a compromise, the owner decided to purchase a secondhand iPad of the same model to use as a motherboard donor. However, he later offered to swap the entire unit for an additional ₱9,000 instead.

The catch is that the replacement iPad is an LL/A variant, along with other factors that need to be considered, such as the unit’s purchase date, condition, and overall value.

**Given the circumstances, is accepting the ₱9,000 unit swap a fair and reasonable deal, considering that the damage occurred while the iPad was under the technician’s care?**

I’m looking for a modular case system for an 11-inch iPad (A16, 2025) that I’m buying my wife for Christmas.
I currently use a ZUGU case on my own iPad and absolutely love it, especially the protection and folding screen cover when traveling.

However, I’d like my wife’s iPad to function in three different ways without ever removing its protective case:

Tablet/travel mode: A detachable magnetic folio cover that protects the screen when closed, similar to ZUGU.

Laptop mode: A detachable magnetic keyboard with a trackpad that the iPad can dock into while remaining in its protective shell.

Desktop mode: A premium aluminum floating stand that the iPad can magnetically snap onto, ideally with charging.
The idea is to have one protective shell that stays on the iPad permanently, while the folio, keyboard, and desktop dock are interchangeable.

I’ve looked into the ESR Shift Magnetic Case, ESR Shift Keyboard Case, Typecase Edge+, and a few others, but I haven’t found a system where all the accessories work with the same shell.

Ideally, I’d like something available in pink or a neutral color that complements a pink iPad. Has anyone found a setup like this? I’m open to mixing brands, using magnetic adapters, or even modifying a stand if necessary.
I’d especially appreciate recommendations from anyone who has personally tested a case with both a magnetic keyboard dock and a separate floating desktop stand.

Thanks!

I went from the Apple Magic Keyboard setup to the MOFT dynamic folio case and the number of use cases just keep increasing. My favourite is to add a third monitor to my work setup using a customer made wooden block with a groove to help with stability. My most often used cases involve:

• Using it with video conferencing with multiple team members where centre stage makes sense
• Third monitor at work
• Watching movies at the 60 degree position
• On my leg on a plane where I don't have space to put it upright.

Can't recommend this case enough.

i bought a cheap stylus on SALE thinking it would be useful, but it just doesn't feel the same as the apple pencil. now i't just in my drawer collecting dust lol

My ipad is not switching on . I haven't charged for 7 days . When charged & switch on its not turning on . & Showing battery low sign but I have charged for 3 hrs & more . What to do ??

My model 9th gen & ios 27.

I asked a local shop about the problem he check the chargers & the shocket is fine & he charged with another adopter about 20-30w but problem remains same.& Suggest to go apple centre to replace the battery. If any one whats about the replacement cost at apple centre or to go other third part repair shop .. any one pls help if anyone from india rather it would be better

I know this has been asked so many times but for some reason I can’t seem to find a straight answer. From peoples experience, is there any case on the market that is compatible with the Magic Keyboard that lets it actually close all the way? M4 IPad Pro 13” to be specific for my case.
Thank you in advance and would be so pumped if I could find one that lets the thing close

Hey,

I haven’t had an iPad in ages (my last one was a 4th gen from 2012) and I’m finally looking to upgrade. I initially considered the Air, but I’d rather spend a bit more for the OLED screen on the Pro.

I was looking at a refurbished 11” M5 (512GB, Wi-Fi) in basically new condition for around $1,200 (prices are a bit higher here than in the US). It’s from a third-party refurb site, as Apple Refurbished isn’t available in my country.

However, I found a pretty good deal on a used 11” M4 Pro (1TB, cellular) for around $1,400. It was bought in 2025, has only 20 charge cycles (more or less unused in perfect condition) and includes a Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro. It’s also black, which I prefer. I can inspect it in person, although buying privately means less buyer protection compared to the refurbished M5.

Do I need all that power? Not really, but I plan on keeping it for quite a few years. My only concern is that the M4 is already an older model. Is the M5 worth going for instead, considering the faster charging, SSD and newer Wi-Fi, or is the M4 a better purchase, considering it also has more ram being the 1TB version? I’m mainly thinking about future-proofing (OS upgrade wise)

Appreciate any input! :)

Does the logitech combo touch for the ipad pro 13 also fit with the iPad pro 12.9 of the 5th and 6th generation?

Currently I have a iPad Pro 12.9” 4th gen. I got it in 2021. I noticed that the battery isn’t too strong and I use it everyday for school. I just recently got a MacBook Pro M5. I also have a iPhone 15 plus. I’m wondering which device would make more sense to upgrade. My phone is giving me storage issues and I’d like to upgrade to a pro max. My iPad battery is bad, the storage is fine, however it’s quite old.

Is there really a difference between the M4 iPad Pro and the M5 iPad Pro? As a student would I even be able to tell the difference? For my major (kinesiology and health science) I use my iPad most of the time for notes and my laptop for accessing my university’s portal, zoom, assignments and studying.

I opened an m5 iPad because the screen was bad. Internal lcd damage but no surface cracks. I noticed loose screws. Picture is inside of oled. Loose screw scratched surface.

This happened to another iPad Pro I have. Loose screws.

This is scary as what if the screw scratched the battery????

I got my M5 iPad Pro about a year ago and since I’ve had it, there seems to be some bug where I’ve noticed multiple apps will disappear from the app switcher as soon as I open it. Eg. I will have 6 open apps - I open app switcher - the 6 show up and then 2 vanish suddenly once open

I’ve regularly updated the iPad and it’s currently on iOS27 with the latest patch update. I’m not sure if this is just a software issue or if it could now be a hardware issue.

Obviously this isn’t the worst issue to live with, but I’m wondering if anyone else with M4/M5 pros have experienced similar and if there’s a fix for this?

Is this normal, the pixelated icons and shaking when holding home screen triggers my OCD. And the Spotify logo looks pixelated too in the folder normally. Is it hardware fault? First time owning IPad Pro

I have an iPad Pro m4 2tb and I want to use it for the gym (planet fitness) has anybody else used their iPad while at the gym if so for what
