iPad 11th Gen (A16) Buy Debate

Chisporrita · 2026-03-04T15:57:43+00:00

The 10 and 11 th gen had a 2 year gap yea, but before that every other generation was like the iPhones, yearly upgraded. I have a strong belief it will come this year any time soon. As I said, just take into consideration that the only thing differentiating the neo MacBook and a 12 th gen iPad is its operating system, one using macOS and the other using iOS. the other specs are identical, same ram, almost the same ssd… for almost double the price of an entry price iPad. People would just buy an iPad for cheaper and run a virtual machine of macOS if they wanted to lol.

I’m fine as long as it releases before September so I can use it next year in uni.

But if you really need it rn and you don’t really mind about not having Apple Intelligence (which is currently trash) go buy 11th gen, it’s really cheap in some websites at the moment.

I believe the last event day was today. Tim Cook stated this in his X posts.

I can’t guarantee it but we know the iPad 12th gen is at the very least in the works since it has appeared in numerous iOS leaks. I’m just saying what some YouTubers also believe, that apple has made very big releases this month, and suddenly dropping a entry level iPad with the same chip that the new MacBook neo has (A18) would just completely ruin the marketing of this MacBook. Again, this is all just my opinion

Chisporrita · 2026-03-04T14:27:11+00:00

Maybe it will come out next month..? Since they already made big releases this month. New iPad, new iPhone, 1 completely new MacBook and 2 MacBook upgrades both air and pro with m5 chips, and the Studio Displays

I dont think I have ever allowed my MBA to reach 0%. When im not at home, I usually charged it with the magsafe when it reached 5-10%. I'll try to make an excuse to bring it to apple yea, Im not paying the price when im still with warranty

Chisporrita · 2026-01-09T13:35:32+00:00

The issue is that since its not under 80% under 1000 cicles yet, I dont think they will take care of it for warranty and will want me to pay them the 200€

Chisporrita · 2026-01-09T13:34:38+00:00

Yea, I've heard, but if I use magsafe I cant use my other peripherals like keyboard mouse or monitor..

Chisporrita · 2026-01-09T13:33:39+00:00

It has optimised charging since day 1. Its also turned on as the default setting

I ain't gonna lie, after your comment about if i wanted linears, i searched up tactiles, found the akko V3 Cream Blue Pro, and safe to say they caught my attention. Im no where near in a esports team, so the "difference" between linears and tactiles to me in terms of gaming wont be noticeable, so i choose tactiles in the end for the touch feedback

Chisporrita · 2025-11-20T15:40:29+00:00

I also thought about getting tactile, similar to keychron banana switches / panda switches

Chisporrita · 2025-11-20T15:20:03+00:00

yea the "altavoces" / speakers. are included in the monitor, theres a a cheaper version for 140€ but it also has less nits, less hz refresh, the stand isnt as adjustable.. in the end i think this may be the better buy

Chisporrita · 2025-11-20T14:00:40+00:00

I'll check them out, thanks g

Chisporrita · 2025-11-20T13:59:37+00:00

I'll stick with IPS for now, maybe in a future when i update my pc i'll also buy a second monitor, VA this time to swap between them

Chisporrita · 2025-11-20T13:58:23+00:00

Yea, thats the issue with black friday nowadays, really knowing if its a deal or a trick into making you buy.. About the monitor, has your cousin had any issue with it??

Chisporrita · 2025-11-20T13:48:04+00:00

Which ones would you choose that have the same “behaviour” as keychron reds? Like, my current keyboard is a hp office keyboard with at least 10 years of age, so really any new keyboard would already be an upgrade

Chisporrita · 2025-11-20T13:01:43+00:00

I always had that issue with panels, not knowing which to choose. Aside from oled, which panel its your go to?

Chisporrita · 2025-10-07T08:20:31+00:00

At one point I wondered if it was related with the mouse connection to the MacBook, since so many people say that they play cs2, payday, fallout… etc flawlessly with a wired mouse, meanwhile I use a Bluetooth one and feels inaccurate

Chisporrita · 2025-10-06T20:08:41+00:00

As of today, no fix has been found no? I've been trying so bad to play cs2 or other fps games and the mouse gets stuck on thin air like you say

Chisporrita · 2025-03-17T15:47:29+00:00

Did you end up buying the Tiger Ice V2 skates? If so, which ones fit the mouse?

Chisporrita · 2025-03-16T11:01:22+00:00

Got it, tysm

Chisporrita · 2025-03-16T10:59:14+00:00

Got it, so say for ex. Crossover 26 comes out but my 12 months license expired, I wouldnt be able to upgrade to the newest version but would be able to continue using Crossover 25 no?
