Not over Bluetooth, but I guess some people make it work. Either way, since officially you have to plug it in and the plug is in the place it's in, it's unusable.

iPad Pro 11 & 12.9-inch |OT| Now you're playing with power
- Thread starter PeakPointMatrix
- Start date
- Tech/Gadgets OT
you can make it work over Bluetooth in the current beta by adding it as a device in switch control, but expect that to break in a future beta
It was a pricing error that they corrected this morning, but they did fulfill the orders that were placed. Including the orders for the 12 inch with 512gb of space for 899.99.
Can you do audio capture and editing in an iPad over USB? I have a little USB cassette player/Walkman thing that I keep meaning to start digitising my wife's cassette collection but I never get around to it on the PC.
It might be more of a pc task so I can background it, but curious if it's pissibke on iPad - eg record over a usb-a to usb-c adapter, separate the tracks, bit of cleanup like audacity might do

Recording it should be no problem. I think you could just use GarageBand for that. Cleanup I wouldn't know about. I'm sure there are more advanced apps that do recording and denoizing.
hope this is the right thread - i have a 2019 Air, not a Pro:
Just got an iPad Air on sale at Best Buy a few weeks back and it has been great until just now.
Out of nowhere, I noticed a big light bleed spot on the bottom lefthand corner. It's noticeable on dark screens / watching movies so I think I would have noticed if it was there from day 1.
I was planning on exchanging it but wanted to know if this was a common issue / anyone else experience it. If it's common, I may just return it and wait for a newer model (though I will be sad without a proper comics device for a while).

If you have to exchange or wait for new model, it won't be that long. Should be new models hitting in October, which means more price reductions on current ones too.
Are we expecting any big changes for 2019 iPad Pros? OR same casing w/ slightly updated internals?
EDIT: i've also spent hours configuring Chunky and adding comics and organizing them. if i back up the iPad, return it, wait for the new iPad Pros and recover it - will that work?
or will it get all fucked up because the new iPad Pro will come with a new OS?
Supposedly new internals and new camera. But who knows.
And the backup should work.
it would be for a Pro
i owned 2018 11" for a few days at launch but it was total overkill for a comic book reader
probably still is
I'm not an avid comic reader but have a bit of stuff in Chunky and it carried over no problem from my iPad 10,5 to the 12,9 and is still present in iOS 13 beta. iPadOS is still iOS, there aren't really any compatibility issues. Just make sure chunky is part of your iPad backup and iCloud backup and there's nothing that can go wrong, really.
Realistically I only use my 2018 12.9 for web browsing and as a second TV (who am I kidding, with my children on my consoles all the time its my main TV). Nothing 'pro' but I use it so often it is earning its keep.
I have just tried Bluetooth keyboard + mouse + USB-C dock to my PC monitor. Thats a pretty nice combo but would be even better if iPad let me drive it at native resolution and gave me a proper mouse cursor. Thinking about how much power is in an iphone these days you coudl probably pull off a Dex style docking set up pretty well.
The new Air appears to have the same flashlighting issue the 10.5 Pros had. I would avoid them. If it's near the home button, yours is most likely the same issue.
Thanks, everyone. It is near the home button, so it's probably the same issue.
I've got to decide tonight if I want to be comics-less for a while until I can justify a Pro or settle for the Air and roll the dice on an exchange for one without light bleed.
Edit: when can we expect to see price drops on 2018 Pros? How easy is it to get an old model that isn't a refurb?

I have a 12 inch og iPad Pro which I can never upgrade because headphone jack is essential for my (pro) job. I can't edit or approve material with Bluetooth quality or lag so I'm stuck with what I otherwise consider my favorite writing and edit approval device (use big 4k screen with hdr for final reviews) ever and it's never let me down. I'm hoping the new OS will stretch its utility for a couple more years. And I absolutely love the smart keyboard cover. Favorite type feel ever.
I forgot about the year of being able to use my Nokia Windows Phone as a proper pc with wireless display. That was a fantastic little perk I used a lot for travel. I even carried a widi display adapter for hotel tvs.
Doesn't the 2018 with USB-c provide digital out for audio? With a dongle or compatible headphones you should get great quality
The question is if the 2020 iPad will have an OLED display, which would be a single good thing enough to justify an upgrade.
Yeah, OLED would be huge but I feel like it's so far away with the panels being super expensive and 120hz OLED being kind of unheard of right now.
Is it just me who doesn't seem to notice ProMotion/120fps? I've got the 10.5 Pro and I can't say it feels incredibly smooth when scrolling or anything.
Go to accessibility settings and turn it off and see if you notice a difference then
you can revert back to 4x5 (or 5x4 in landscape) in settings
if you do this, you lose the ability to pin widgets to the left of the home screen in landscape, though.

thanks! I don't want to lose my widgets though...
Sad day, going to be selling my 11in with Smart Folio to a friend. He'll put it to much better use. Question, what's a fair selling price for both of these? I also have the original packaging if that matters at all.
A new update for the Remote Desktop beta just came out last night that adds the feature that was missing: panning while zoomed (and while using the on screen keyboard) in touch mode. Now it's basically perfect, IMO.
There is no 'best' it depends what your needs are. Eg I'm not a fan of direct contact docks - there is no way to anchor them so they're wobbly or have unofficial clamps which I don't like. Most alternatives have a little tail connecting cable but there are lots out there at reasonable prices. That hyperdrive is 4x the price of cheaper docks and is more specific to pro so less convenient if you want to use with eg a MBP or other computer too
I have a generic (anker?) dock with hdmi, Ethernet, usb, power pass through. I run a usb c extension cable from it to my desk so I can keep it tucked out of sight. It's then connected up to hdmi, power and a usb speaker. That leaves me with a single cable to plug in for neatness (also that's tucked down the side of my desk on a magnetic clip)
That's my combination dock for MBP for work and iPad Pro (and also charges my switch if I need extra juice while in the spare room).
you can't. The Pencil is just that, not a general use stylus. Since the screen can tell the difference between the Pencil and your finger, the Pencil can't do system stuff like returning home or opening control center, etc
GM will likely be on the day of the presentation. Public release likely would be sometime around when the new phones launch I'd imagine.
Imagine drawing or writing on your iPad and constantly pulling up your dock, the home menu, control center, your notification screen, and swiping actions.
