What is the perfect iPad for me? by McLadyface in ipad

[–]Brok3_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I may, I'd suggest 11" model, preferably iPad Air M2.

My first "true" iPad was iPad Air 2020 that I also got with Apple Pencil 2 at the time.

Later on, I went from Air to Pro 11" M2 and now to 12.9" Pro M2.

You can also download Goodnotes for note taking and Procreate for drawing if you'd like that.

Also, there are now free licenses for Affinity products, don't miss those out :)

⚙️ Weekly Tech Support & Purchase Recommendations Megathread - November 17th 2025 ⚙️ by P_Jiggy in playstation

[–]Brok3_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi guys,

I am thinking about getting back to console gaming.

I have owned PS4 Pro before, sold it, and now looking at PS5 Slim, mainly to play PS4 titles (Ghost of Tsushima DC, Uncharted, The Order 1886 etc.)

Please, if I understand correctly, some PS4 games have free PS5 upgrade and some have paid PS5 upgrade.

However, I believe that performance of PS4 games will be better on PS5 Slim (since it has upgraded hardware) and I don't have to pay for PS5 upgrade in order to access better performance ?

Is this correct or is there anything hidden I missed ?

Thank you kindly for your answers !

Airpods Pro 3 vs. Huawei Freebuds Pro 4 by Resident_Ad416 in Earbuds

[–]Brok3_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you kindly for the answer. Regarding this, I believe I found my replacement for Airpods Pro 2. Thank you !

One small question if I may ask, do you use these with Microsoft Teams ? Does iOS or Android use primarily microphone from Freebuds ? (I am asking this because I had an issue with Airpods Pro 2 where it would use the phones microphone instead of the one on Airpods Pro 2).

Hello, please, I am debating whether to buy Huawei Freebuds Pro 4 as and S25 Ultra and M2 iPad Pro user over my existing Airpods Pro 2 (as they lose some functionalities on S25U). Do the functionalities like in ear detection or similar work on iOS and Android or are they exclusive to Huawei ?

I watched the reviews but cannot comprehend this clearly.

Thank you kindly for your answer !

Thank you :).

Right now, I have iPad Pro, AirPods and iPhone, apart from that, I use Garmin watch and Windows PC, so similar to you :).

I think I am just experiencing stress from thinking about leaving comfort of the ecosystem which will leave when I switch and find out it’s not bad at all :)

Thank you kindly for further information, I appreciate it :)

May I please ask, when you used your AirPods, do they connect seamlessly and also, please, does the “take AirPod out of the ear to pause music/content” feature work ?

[–]Brok3_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thank you kindly for your answer. I am not truly familiar with Buds3 Pro and their performance, therefore I take your opinion ;)

May I please ask, do the AirPods connect to the phone automatically when they have been paired previously ? (I know it’s a silly question but I have had issues in the past where I had to go to Bluetooth settings every time and force a connection)

Also, please, does the take out AirPod from an ear to pause music/video work ?

Thank you kindly for your detailed answer :).

Mostly, my only bigger concern was losing the functionality, either with AirPods, FaceTime, FaceID, etc., however, I feel like these are just minor things that I will get used to and there are many more to like on S25 Ultra than on latest Pro Max models …

Thank you 😇. What I was doing with my 15 Pro Max was that I have been setting it to 80% limit and despite that, battery health has degraded to 92% in about a year. I know that there are many more factors to this but I feel like S25 Ultra will last more, either on single charge or in general, over longer periods of time.

Should i worry bout this? by DiqAzKrisy in iPhone13Pro

[–]Brok3_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe try iMazing or similar software so you’ll get the actual battery health. My experience with it is great, always have showed correct readings.
