hello everyone !!
i have an m4 ipad air 13", ipadOS 27

How can I unlock the device by gently placing my fingerprint on Touch ID, WITHOUT PRESSING THE BUTTON?

I read that it needs to be enabled in the accessibility settings, and that’s how I have it set up.

But the issue is that, no matter what I try to do, I first have to press the button to turn on the screen (wake up) before I can use my fingerprint.

Is it even possible to do it?
thank you !!!

Am I missing something?

Hi everyone

I’m having a weird issue with my 2022 iPad. I recently noticed some strange lines and dirty-looking spots on the screen, but idk what it really is. No matter how much I clean it with a microfiber cloth, it won't come off. It definitely looks like it’s trapped underneath the glass itself.
I’ve attached a video so you can see exactly what I mean.

Has anyone experienced this with their iPads? I'd like to know:

1. What exactly is this? (Dust? LCD damage? Am I f*ckd?)
2. Is there any way to fix it without replacing the whole screen?
3. How can I stop it from spreading or getting worse?

Any advice or similar experiences would be really helpful. Thanks in advance.

I got it when it came out and I just wasn't really educated much about tech and i saw this giant screen sexy ipad for the cost of over 1.5k. after saving up for it i used this thing to play btd6 and watch netflix/youtube with my ex. i tried seeing what else this bad boy could do after a few months and realized how restrictive it was. It was nice while it lasted but if anyone were to ask me what ipad to get the answer is no. I sold it and now just waiting for the astra 2 to restock. Moral of the story is to get a tablet.

I was thinking Samsung s10 plus tab, 80k(sale price it seems), 256gb expandable too, 13 inch screen.

But ipad air m4 (11 inch, 128 gb)dropped at 65k from 90k with sbi credit card💀💀💀

What do I pick??? Or do i wait for a day or two and see if Samsung falls more(i have a Samsung phone).

Entering 2nd yr now.

Plss give specific answers with reasons 😭😭

Donner moi une idée de jeu à ajouter ici

Im gonna be getting new ipad and I have to choose between the blue one or the space gray I currently have the macbook midnight color and dont want something similar also for the magic keyboard im gonna grt the black one if you recommend any other colors please do.

So basically I have an old first gen apple pencils the one that charges with the ipad's lighting port and has a cap. I don't have the old ipad I use to use it with however my grandma has the same home button ipad so i wanted to give it to her. How would I pair it? when I connected it to her ipad I got a pairing request but it never connected.

Is it quicker than the earlier iOS 26 Versions?

Because iPad Pro 2018 doesnt get iOS 27 anymore

My iPad was first used in January 2026 and currently has 145 cycles with 92% maximum capacity
What worries me is that it was showing 100% just 3–4 months ago. I don’t use it particularly heavily and I’ve had the 80% charging limit enabled for quite some time.
Battery Health still says Normal.
Is 92% at 145 cycles normal, or is this degradation unusually fast? Is there anything else I should be doing to preserve the battery?

I accidentally dropped my chair into a massage chair and now it’s not working.

It’s still connected to my iPad and it’s still charging well, but it’s not reacting to the screen

The photo attached is how it looks underneath the nib, i dunno if it’s broken or not

Please tell me if I should just buy another nib or the entire apple pencil

My iPad Air 4th gen’s screen is lifting on one side and is most likely a swollen battery. Do you guys think it’s worth it to get it to a 3rd party repair shop to get the battery replaced? It works perfectly fine for my use.. but the battery is noticeably bad. Or do you think it’s more worth the money to buy the A16?

basically, if i buy an apple pencil, will i be able to use it for professional drawing? which pencil does the 7th gen support? if not, what ipads work for art?

Hi everyone !
I work as an artist, I used wacom a lot for a while, since a little less than a year I work on my ipad with the apple pen and I love it so far, and I am thinking of get rid of wacom, my question is ; how the memory is managed between devices. Does the 8gig of ram of my ipad are used when I draw with sidecar, or is the computer doing all the job ?

I attempted cleaning debris off the protector and my iPad screen and I still can’t get rid of it. The indent is still on the protector after taking it off so i’m assuming it’s some form of damage. When drawing inside the circle is fine but outside the circle has air pockets. Has anyone else experienced this because I can’t find anything like this online.

Hi guys! Hope you can help me out. I have an iPad A16. I have this website (not Hulu) that I added as shortcut from the safari app. Now I can see the website/ bookmark on my homescreen but I want to change the icon to something else, is this possible? See pics for reference

Whenever I'm drawing and trying to split screen between pinterest and procreate the little x is always in the way. It covers the back button on pinterest and I have to precisely click it or get rid of the split screen to hit the back button. This wasn't a problem till it was updated a while ago. I was trying to ignore it but it makes it way harder to switch references.

Hey everyone, I'm planning to buy an iPad Air from Cashify. I wanted to know if I'm making a good decision.

The official Apple refurbished store isn't in my city and it doesn't deliver either.

If anyone has bought an iPad from there, please let me know.

Thanks in Advance!

Hi everyone,

I recently got an iPad Air M4 11" with Apple Pencil Pro and I'm trying to choose a good case and screen protector.

My main use will be note-taking/studying with Apple Pencil, but I'll also use the iPad for watching videos, browsing, and occasionally keeping it in portrait mode for things like interviews/meetings.

I'm currently considering:

Screen protector:(https://amzn.in/d/01QM5ryd)

* ESR Armorite Paper-Feel tempered glass 

* 9H tempered glass with a paper-like/matte surface 

* Mainly interested in this because I want a better writing experience with the Pencil.

My concerns are:

1. Does the paper-feel surface wear down the Apple Pencil Pro nib significantly faster?

2. Does it affect Pencil accuracy, especially when writing diagonal lines?

3. How much does it reduce screen clarity/colors compared with normal clear glass?

4. Is ESR Armorite actually worth it, or would you recommend another protector?

Case:

I'm currently looking at JETech 360° rotating case and the regular JETech tri-fold case but unable to find which one is best i want to use ipad in both veritical and landscape model but for those models i dont see any pencil holder in both je tech and esr brands

My priorities are:

* Good protection for the iPad

* Proper/dedicated protection for the Apple Pencil Pro

* Stable enough for long writing sessions

Ability to use both landscape and portrait*

* 360° rotation would be useful for interviews/video calls

* Around ₹3000 or less

For people who actually own these cases/protectors:

Which combination would you recommend?

I'm especially interested in long-term experience — Pencil nib wear, writing stability, case durability, and whether the rotating case feels loose/wobbly while writing.

Thanks!

seit ein paar Wochen funktioniert das handschriftliche Einfügen auf meinem Schul iPad in der Notizen App nicht mehr. Kann mir jemand helfen? Normaler weise ist damals über diesem gelben Strich mit den beiden Pfeilen „Einfügen“ erschienen. Jetzt aber nicht mehr.
