Josh, i’ll admit something, whenever I use the iPad screen keyboard, it’s very hard to avoid pressing the a key when I meant to press the shift key. So when I try to capitolize a word, it starts with an “a”. 😆. So sure, the on-screen keyboard isn’t perfect. Of course I’m not an expert touch...

Ron, that’s certainly a valid point, the keyboard helps make the iPad usage more like a laptop. And many like using the iPad that way. I actually don’t like typing on my MacBook Pro but use it when I'm on the go. I realized re-reading my first sentence above that it might imply that I’m saying...

I know not everyone likes it, but I’ve never used a keyboard with my iPad Pro, or regular iPad, I use the iPad virtual keyboard on screen. I’ve made nearly every post on the HTF since 2010 this way. I’m typing on the screen now. But I get it that not everyone likes it. What I like is I don’t...

The gen one Apple Pencil also includes an adaptor to allow you to plug the pencil into the USB charger. I still use that to charge my first gen Apple Pencil.

Hey Ron, I have not had the need to make PDF’s on the iPad Pro…yet. But good to know of that option above. I do have a PDF reader app but I rarely use it.

Thanks Ron. I see, when I get photos in email, I just tap and hold on the image in the email and it asks me if I want to save it to photos or save to files. It did take me a little while to get used to using the Folder. But now I’ve got several folders for different files that I use to save...

Hey Ron, I’m curious, without disclosing anything confidential, I’m curious what tasks you were doing on the iPad Pro that had you make the change in your opinion? What types of tasks? For me, there are somethings I cannot do on the iPad Pro for my job. One is I use CAD software that only runs...

Our company switched from Webex to Teams just recently. For sure the pandemic had us using all these communications tools. Slack too! I had to look up a few things. BYO was what I thought, but you’re saying companies are not supplying iPad Pro’s to employees? I suppose that depends on the...

In regards to the Surface, I’d seen a lot of people use them at work. And it includes a stylus. Not sure how good an experience it is trying to draw on one of those. But I figured the iPad Pro could out-do the Surface! I suppose the drawing experience wasn’t there because my colleague just drew...

Sam, here’s the review:

Sam, I remember back in 2010 how mobile Safari in the first iPad didn’t work fully on many websites. But as the number of iPad users grew very quickly, the websites finally made things work for the mobile users! There’s still a few holdouts for Adobe Flash like the startrekhistory website. I...

I saw a video on YouTube last week of a college student who makes YouTube videos doing his artwork demos on a MacBook Pro and a Wacom Cintiq. He mostly does character studies in a style that’s in line with work you’d see from Pixar and other things like that. Stuff like for film production...

Hey Ron, I totally agree about Justine. That’s her shtick and it seems to work for her “brand”. I have no doubt that she’s an Apple fan and it seems to have gotten her to where she is today. I’ve seen a few of her non Apple reviews. But I only watch when she’s got an Apple product I’m interested...

I just watched the review by Marques. I’m liking his reviews. I hope he and others who think there might be something big in iOS 15 are right. but I also think he’s right in that Apple might not want the iPad Pro to eat into MacBook Pro sales if the new iOS will bring the Mac OS capabilities to...

It took me a couple of days to realize what you meant. I wasn’t getting what you were saying, that every year a new iOS is released like clockwork. I was referring to the inference from an earlier post that I wasn’t aware of a potentially new iOS coming that could bring it closer to the Mac OS...

What he said! Yes, when the new iPad Pro M1 was announced, I was thinking this could be it. It could be the time we will see the desktop applications eventually becoming available on an iPad. I can see Ron’s point of view of the mobile OS being an impediment. I saw the same thing mentioned in...

Thanks Sam! That’s good news about procreate. I might have to use it more! I checked the other design app I use, sketchbook from Autodesk. It appears they are behind the ball. I saw reports of people upgrading to M1 MacBook Pro’s and the desktop version of sketchbook is not fully compatible...

That makes sense, the new keyboard fits older 3rd, 4th and 5th gen iPad Pros.

Hey Sam, it’s still not 100% clear to me about the Magic Keyboard incompatibility. I’m not convinced yet because as of last night Apple’s site still says the Magic keyboard is compatible with the iPad Pro 3rd, 4th and 5th Generation. And that article doesn’t show an actual 2021 iPad Pro attached...

It’s too soon to really know if the keyboard will not fit I would think, unless it’s really been confirmed with a real 5th gen iPad Pro. I have some experience in product development and I’m very sure Apple made every attempt to make the new iPad Pro fit any existing accessories such as the...

Dave, I haven’t had a chance to finish reading that article above, but it is true the software is not there for everyone. I never expected to do high level CAD work on the iPad Pro, would be nice. But I really doubt the company that makes the CAD software I use and the competitors are ever going...

Hey guys, just for reference I built a 12.9” iPad Pro M1 12.9 and 13” MacBook Pro M1. iPad Pro M1, 12.9”, 2TB wifi and AppleCare: $2348.00 MacBook Pro M1, 13”, 2TB, 16GB RAM, 2TB drive, AppleCare: $2568.00 And just for comparison: MacBook Pro Intel, 16” 2.4GHZ 8 Core, 32GB, 2TB drive...

Thanks for the new thread Sam. I guess because this is now an M1 powered iPad Pro, it should have its own thread. :) I’m weighting the option between 1 and 2TB. Based on some comments made in the Apple Event, it seems that the division between iPad Pro and desktop/laptop is becoming less and...
