Why would you buy an iPad Pro when the Air exists?
I’m using an iPad Mini but have recently been looking at a larger display thanks to my eyesight and font size needs. I’m not totally sold on this yet but I am investigating it. What struck me is looking at the price of a Pro now why would anyone buy one over the less expensive…

Apple doesn’t appear to know what to do with the iPad
This is a really great article from Jason Snell and something that has been on my mind too. I really think Apple has lost it’s way with the iPad. Sometimes I look back at all the effort Apple has made with the iPad Pro and wonder if it was worth it. All the additions of…

An M1 iPad Mini and pro apps is all I need
I love using my iPad mini, in fact it’s the only iPad I use, it does almost everything I need… After listening to this weeks Upgrade and a question about an M1 iPad mini it got me thinking. If I had an M series iPad mini and pro apps like Logic Pro I reckon I…

The iPhone 13 Mini and iPad Mini setup
As you most probably know I like to experiment and switch up my gear quite often but for last 7 months my main devices have been an iPhone 13 Mini and iPad Mini 6. They’ve worked out pretty well. I enjoy using a smaller, lighter phone for carrying around and when I want a bigger…

Recording guitar on the iPad Mini
I’m trying to get back into guitar and I’m pretty pleased I can record straight into my iPad mini. I’m using GarageBand on the iPad as my recording app. I’m not 100% happy with it just yet because it’s onboarding amp models I can’t get rid of. I use a Line 6 POD GO with…

Enjoying the iPad for what it is for
I’ve used an iPad since the original and over the years I’ve done the whole using my iPad as my main device but since using the MacBook Air M1 and iPad Mini this year I realise it was a waste of time. What I’m finding now and I’m a lot more content with is that…

The best case for the iPad Mini 6
I’ve been using the 6th generation iPad Mini as my main device again and settled on what I feel is the best case to use with it. In my opinion the official Apple Smart Folio is the best. It works really well to turn your iPad into a notebook and leaves all sides exposed so…

Is 64GB of storage too little for an iPad?
I’ve been using my iPad Mini for a couple of days and it’s been good but I am looking at bigger displays a little. What struck me when looking at the iPad range is how poor the value is on the low end storage (64GB). At £499 for the new iPad and £649 for the…

Using the iPad Mini as a digital notebook
I’m trying to step back from so many apps and what I am going to try to do is use my iPad Mini and Apple Pencil at the centre of my system. I’m tired of paper notebooks I think. It’s not the writing with pen as I love this it’s the cost of notebooks and…

What I’d like an iPad to be
I’ve been switching between my MacBook Air, the iPad Mini and an older iPad Pro and I realised each has it’s own elements that I love using. I predominantly work on macOS but prefer to use the iPad for creating content and photo editing. I see the M1 in the iPad Pro and wonder what…

Don’t update to iPadOS 16 on an older iPad
iPadOS 16 came out last week and for me on the 2015 9.7” iPad Pro it made it unusable. On iPadOS 15 it wasn’t amazingly fast but it was usable. What I’ve found this week in using it on the 9.7” iPad Pro is that it’s made it so slow and unresponsive it’s pretty much…

It’s getting harder to recommend an iPad
The iPad is in a weird state, here in the UK prices are up across the board but the iPad (even the existing base) went up. We are also at a point where I am not the first person to say that the iPad lineup is very confusing. Even as someone like me who is…

Could Apple pull stage manager out of iPadOS 16?
If iPadOS 16 is truly just two weeks away part of me thinks that Apple could pull stage manager out of the general release. It’s so buggy and not important to the majority of iPad users I feel the best move would be to pull it from iPadOS 16 completely and keep for iPadOS 17.…
