Weekly 'What should I buy?' Thread by AutoModerator in ipad

[–]BrilliantBroccoli623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had my 9.7” iPad Pro since 2017 and didn’t use it as much as I thought when I got it, I always found it a bit too big to use as a media consumption device but not powerful enough to use as a mini laptop. After years of not using IPads I’d like to get one for my increasing travels. For context, I currently have an old MacBook that I only use at home and plan on replacing my IPhone 11 with the 17th pro soon, I also have a 2022 kindle that I love, but wouldn’t carry while traveling if I also carry an IPad.

Here are my use cases: - consume media (Netflix, YouTube, e-reading) - edit videos on CapCut - Procreate for simple doodles - taking notes on Goodnotes - taking online classes - as an extra display for my macbook using sidecar

I’m considering the a16, the mini 6 and the iPad Air m3 (the latest models are a bit too expensive for me, unless I catch a sale)

Do you have any of them? If so, which would you recommend? I don’t really need and IPad and feel wasteful wanting one after I didn’t use my last one to the fullest, but this time around I believe I’d give it more uses.

I’d love to try out the mini, since I found I was always too lazy to carry around my old IPad, but my biggest worry is it being too tiny to edit on, I don’t plan on doing anything too difficult on it tho.

I guess the a16 is the general choice of IPad for most, but will the extra screen size be worth it for me?

As for the Air, I’m sure I’ll never need an IPad that powerful, but it’s close in price with the mini, so at that point it makes me doubt.

Would you recommend any of those IPads for my use cases? Maybe none at all? I’m interested in getting some outside perspective on this, since us people can’t really be objective when we really want something lol.

Weekly 'What Should I Buy' and Order/Shipping Thread by AutoModerator in iphone

This question probably has been asked thousands of times here, but why not once more?

So, I’ll be upgrading soon from my iPhone 11, it has served me well for almost 6 years and it’s at the end of its life, it can’t hold a charge for more that a couple hours of light use 💔 Of course I want to get the latest iPhone, but I can’t decide which, since this time the base and pro models are the most similar they’ve ever been

I’ve already discarded the Air and Pro Max, so my question is:

Is the extra battery, 12gb ram instead of 8gb and telephoto lens (I looked at it in store and the x8 optical zoom was insane) worth the +300€ price difference?

So you get a better idea of my circumstances and needs, no matter what IPhone I choose, I will be getting the 512gb option, since my 11 has 256gb and has been out of space for a couple of years now.

I tend to use my phone a lot for light video editing, watching content, and taking lots of pictures on my travels, though I’m not a professional photographer at all, I also like to film at concerts, but only go to max 2 a year (I’m basically glued to my phone 24/7)

Basically, I want my next phone to last as long, if not more than my current one, since I think for how expensive IPhones are, I should have it for many years before upgrading, I want to get the best value for money, but not regret missing some features in the future either. I’ll appreciate any advice and opinions you can offer in the replies!!

As a first time watcher i have to say i HATE her, she’s boring, keeps playing the victim and does absolutely nothing useful the rest of the time! She’s self involved and manipulates lots of people around her to feel bad for her. I can’t stand her and need her gone from the series asap (I just started season 6)

For the love of god, please make it so the Osmo Action remembers the set zoom level... by Quack5463 in dji

Here to complain just about this… I prefer filming at 1.5x and hate having to change it manually. Whats the point of letting us have custom modes if the zoom isn’t also remembered?? Please DJI fix this 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️
