| iPad Air 4: Anyone got the shipping notification yet? Posted: 21 Oct 2020 01:34 PM PDT To clarify, I mean the notification that your product has just started shipping. Genuinely interested if they already started shipping in some places. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Apps for creating software engineering diagrams using Pencil Posted: 21 Oct 2020 06:54 AM PDT Hello, I recently purchased an iPad for offloading some of my work (Software Engineering) from Macbook. Specifically, I've started taking notes (from group discussions) on iPad and next I want to start drawing System and Architecture Diagrams on it as well. What are the recommended apps for this? I have the Apple Pencil, and would like to draw and share the diagrams as PDF with others. [link] [comments]  | ||
| My impressions on the keyboard implementation on iPad Posted: 21 Oct 2020 12:29 PM PDT This is my first impressions of the keyboard integration with the iPad. I admit that I am a windows user and I am not that familiar with apple product. This is my wife's first iPad and it is the 8th gen 128 GB model. We picked it up about 2 weeks ago.
One of the things I wanted to do now that my wife has an iPad is to learn more about apple, its eco system and its features. I am her tech support and I kind of need to know what she is referring to.
I only picked up the keyboard for her 3 days ago and yesterday was my first day using the apple control alt and command keys. We are using the Logitech Slim Folio. It is significantly cheaper than Apple's Smart Keyboard and it has an extra media key row over the number keys. How it interacts with the iPad is no different.
What looking into how to use the keyboard on the iPad I found a few things that I thought were really good, and a few choices that made no sense to me.
To start with one of the things I really likes the most was the shortcut pop-up window if you hold the control key for an extended time. In fact, I wish Microsoft had this in windows. The only part of the design that I would like to see changed is the ability to advance to the next page of the list without having to hold the command key and swiping at the same time. Personally, it is not that big of a deal. This menu is really designed to help people become more productive with the keyboard as they transition some tasks away from the touch screen and pressing things like the arrow keys left and right to view more options wouldn't work if the app is using that combo.
In productivity, it seems more then capable. Shortcut staples like Cut, Copy and Past are all there. But as I was using it, I noticed there were a few things that were quick and easy to adjust to and some not obvious. I was ok without a caps lock indicator light as the predictive bar at the bottom showed that. Delete is backspace, no problem, forward delete is control d. That I was not expecting. That is also not well document. The first thing I tried was shift delete or command delete. This one made no sense to be. At least the option is there. This was not the only time I questioned the design choice or lack of documentation.
From there I wanted to learn how to get back to the home screen and switch apps. Command H felt natural. To me it is no different then windows key D for desktop. The command tab to switch between apps was also very natural to me. Then I wanted to learn how to close apps. It is not command q. instead you have to control tab to the app and while the app is still highlighted hit Q. I know some people may wonder why I may want to close an app that is not active and, in the background, but command tabbing to an app when 50 or more are open may take a while. Also, if you want to close the app you are currently in, the command tab starts one app over, and you must cycle threw the entire list. This was the second point of confusion design wise. A simple command q to close and return to the home screen or last app would make more sense.
There were a few nice surprises, though. Alt+command+D to bring up the dock and command spacebar for a search bar was nice. I also like that it was not siri. And the same keystrokes closed it. That easy.
This is the point where you can tell that keyboard support was an after though. It felt as disjointed as dark mode or even the control panel/windows settings in windows 10. In some cases, it is outright a failure.
In settings, I was able to move the mouse up and down. I could not change panes. Arrow keys enter and space would not work. Then I hit tab. That made a search box and that is when I started to miss the escape key. If it weren't for the fact that this is primarily a touch device this would be unacceptable. I found out that command period or full stop was the shortcut for escape. There is a way to switch out a key to become escape, I didn't think that the four options of keys to replace was desirable. The only way to fully navigate the settings screen is to enable Full Keyboard Access in the accessibility settings. Once active you get a large blue boarder around the active pane. Space bar now selects the option instead of return. I'm okay with this design choice as the spacebar is a much larger target then the return key. For mobility issues that is a good choice.
This also allows you to navigate the home screen. This is where I start to cringe, and things will break. First. The icon you have selected has a faint blue inline outline that is hard to see and can blend in with the right icon. Apple can draw boxes as they were able to draw an outline around the pane you are in in settings. Windows at least draws a box around the icon and text to help you find where you are.

Movements are also restricted. You cannot go to the next/previous icon screen unless you go to the dots right over the doc. Left and right from the edge would be a better choice. You can only get to those dots from moving down column 4. Columns 2, 3 and 5 will take you to the dock. Columns 1 and 6 can only move to other columns on the page. If you are on the bottom row and want to move right, you must move up before you can go right. If this happens on the third column you need to go up right and down if you want to get to the dots over the dock. This add unneeded keystrokes and make it a pain if you must help someone over the phone who needs to use this.
Finally. If you only have one icon on the screen, then you are trapped. Column 1 can only move to another column. It cannot get to the dock or the dots. I wish I could move left to the previous page. Either that or you are on the dock and cannot access the app. To me this is essentially broken.

In conclusion, for what we bought the keyboard for it is more the adequate. It is a great addition to type up a few documents and send emails. If you want to be a keyboard power user, the option is there but some of the shortcuts are poorly documented and you may need to do some guess work for those. If you have limited mobility and need to use a keyboard, the iPad is the wrong choice with poor flow and ease of use, increased difficulty for support from others over the phone and in some cases getting you stuck. This is primarily a touch device. [link] [comments]  | ||

| A whiteboard app that I can share in real-time with a PC user Posted: 21 Oct 2020 04:24 AM PDT I'm looking for a whiteboard app (or a website) that I can draw on using my iPad and pen, that other person using a PC would see live and would be able to draw live with me. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Unidays free airpods - Ipad Air? Posted: 21 Oct 2020 02:30 PM PDT Just wondering if anyone knows the answer to this, since I can't seem to find it anywhere else online. Students are eligible for free airpods with the purchase of "an eligible ipad", but nowhere does it say what an eligible ipad is. Simply put, I'd like to know if anyone has had any experience with using this offer to purchase the ipad air? Cheers [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 21 Oct 2020 01:55 PM PDT Hi all, new iPad user here. Previously, I was using all windows devices. While that had all the drawbacks associated with windows devices, everything automatically syncing with onedrive was great. One of my main uses for a tablet reading/annotating pdf files. On windows, I would open a file in whatever app that I wanted, edit it, save it (or enable autosave if the app had that feature), and it would be immediately available on all of my devices. Thus far, the closest that I have come to that with my iPad is copying the file to the iPad itself, editing it, saving it to the iPad, then copying the file back to one drive. I assume that there is an easier way to do this and that I just haven't figured it out. Do any of you have a method for syncing to other devices that you prefer? [link] [comments]  | ||
| 14.1 improved the battery on my iPad Air 3 Posted: 20 Oct 2020 04:49 PM PDT 14.0.1 was the worst for my iPad. Now after updating i think they improved it. Better than iPadOS 13. I used to play mobile games and usually per hour it's going to decrease 10%. Now it's 10% per hour and a half. This really made my day [link] [comments]  | ||

| How long does it usually take for Apple Store to restock iPads? Posted: 20 Oct 2020 07:52 PM PDT All my local stores are sold out of the iPad Air 4 and iPad 8 and I was wondering how long I might have to wait. It would take three weeks or more to get here if I order one online for delivery. Would I get it earlier if I wait to pick it up at the store? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 21 Oct 2020 10:12 AM PDT I have an iPad Pro 12.9" (4th gen), and I was looking for a case that would be able to draw and type at the same time in a streamlined manner. This is for med school where I might have to type up my notes and draw at the same time. I was about to get the Logitech Slim Folio Pro (everything I thought I needed was there). However, the big problem is that typing and drawing are both separated. I really love the tactile feel of keyboards (I tend to use mechanical keyboards if that give you context). Unfortunately, with the Slim Folio Pro, you can't really lay the iPad flat while typing on an app like GoodNotes. I also can't really do that with the magic keyboard... The Logitech Folio Touch would've been perfect, but alas, it's only in the 11" configuration. Anyone have suggestions? Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 20 Oct 2020 07:54 PM PDT I ordered an iPad Air 4 and plan to use it to Sidecar with my MacBook Pro. Typically I have my MacBook Pro connected to external monitors and peripherals via a TB3 dock and it is usually closed. Typically when I try to login something with my Apple ID, if my MBP is open I can use Touch ID to login but when it is hooked up to the dock and closed I have to rely on the MBP's password. My question is if I have an iPad Air connected to a closed MBP via Sidecar, will I be able to use Touch ID through the iPad? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Looking at and iPad Air: is rose gold more pinky or orangey? Posted: 20 Oct 2020 09:17 PM PDT I'm (hoping to) switch from Surface Pro to iPad for my go-to portable and note taking device. I'm excited for the Adobe mobile apps and Notability/Goodnotes - OneNote has been driving me insane lately. However, I can't decide on a color. I either want to go with a dark vibe and get the Space Grey or go more vibrant and get Rose Gold. I want to know if the Rose Gold is more pink or orange though, because I really want it to look sort of coppery. Does anyone know what that tone looks like in person or have the closest color code? Cheers! Hopefully I'll be browsing from an iPad soon... [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 20 Oct 2020 09:16 PM PDT Where I live there aren't many cases out for the air 4 I've heard that 2018 pro case fits the air 4 but I am doubtful of the size of the power button on the air and it's thickness Any thoughts? [link] [comments]  | ||
| iPad Pro 2020 > Windows remote desktop > macOS Virtual machine Posted: 20 Oct 2020 02:58 PM PDT Ive got an iPad Pro, and can't really afford to be jumping into a Mac too. however there is some functionality I need from macOS for a little while, and I have a fairly competent windows PC. I'm aware that there are plenty of RDP clients, and im considering purchasing Jump, or ideally another of the free ones but I was wondering if anyone has used an iPad pro to connect to a windows pc running a macOS VM, and what your experience was like. cheers [link] [comments]  |
