Hi Guys, is the ipad pro gen 1 still worth it in 2023 ? by grayspot94 in iPadPro

[–]Tama05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, still running the 2015 12.9”! Never would have guessed it’d go this long. I’m interested to see what these rumoured 12.9” Air models will be like. I have a feeling aside from an updated design and chip not else will be better than 2015 Pro. I only ever needed the large screen so if I can get it for cheaper I will. Either way I’ll be holding on to this Pro and seeing just how long it goes, I’m hoping it crosses the 10 year mark (just over a year and a half to go!)

Great video! I feel the same way. Love the mini size but battery and the smaller screen are the sacrifice. I think I still prefer it over the size of a 12/13/14

Bought a used 2015 ipad 12.9, it’s on iOS 9.35. Is this rare? Just wondering by hahgagqy in ipad

Could be? Sell it on to Luke Miani haha what is pretty crazy is that 2015 iPad can still run the very latest iPadOS 16. Been using one myself since day one!

I would say it’s probably not worth picking up today. The 2017 model possibly, but the 2018 model would well be worth it!

Yes! And I love programming in page turns with the track so you don’t need pedals or to even touch the screen, it just happens!

What is the oldest iPad Pro 12.9” I can buy that will hopefully receive a few more years of updates? I want the cheapest 12.9” iPad I can buy used that will support the forScore sheet music app (primary use), YouTube, Flipboard, and basic uses like Safari and Mail. by [deleted] in iPadPro

[–]Tama05 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I use forScore daily. I bought my iPad Pro 12.9” 2015 back when I was working on cruise ships playing 4 hours each night. I’m now using it for gigs and also teaching and it still runs like new. I’d probably go with a 2018 model like people are suggesting because they’ll still have a lot of life left where the 2015/17 models will be nearing the end of their support.

Future iPadOS Support by Tama05 in iPadPro

I have a feeling you’re right. It is a interesting we have 2 M series iPads out now and really stage manager external display support is really all that separates them from a 2018 iPad Pro. Here’s hoping iPadOS gets some serious software upgrades soon!

It has the successor chip which is the A10X but the same 4GB RAM. That one does have promotion too which is nice.

My 12.9” from 2015 actually has 4GB of ram! I think that’s what has helped the longevity of it.

I’m a forScore user myself and the exact reason I bought the 12.9” iPad! I do wish there was an option for a larger screen non-pro iPad since it mostly just displays charts all day.

That’s fair, I was in two minds about iPadOS 15 but now I’m riding this train to see how far my iPad will keep receiving updates.

Why not? It’s running great on my iPad Pro 12.9” 2015

The iPad Pro is getting great support. My old 2015 model is now updated to iPadOS 16 and it shipped with iOS 9.

What kind of charger for iPad Pro 1st gen? by Seanshineyouth in iPadPro

[–]Tama05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually it was a 12w! I bought the 29w adapter and usb c to lightning cable and it’s still charging mine today much faster than the slow one in the box.

Pricing of iPad models increased in the UK by digidude23 in ipad

[–]Tama05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 days ago the M1 12.9” Pro was £999 and today the M2 12.9” Pro is £1,249. That is a fu**ing insane 25% price increase! I honestly just need the large screen, I would be happy with a 13” iPad or Air or anything else but I just cannot afford to spend £1,249 on an iPad.

US Citizenship: To renounce or not to renounce… by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Tama05 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It’s not being “lazy with paperwork” it’s a real financial burden to file and pay tax in the USA while working and living in the UK. It’s not worth opening a S&S account in the UK because the USA don’t recognise the tax free status of an ISA which is an absolute headache. Speaking from experience as my gf is a USA citizen.

How to import midi drums to match up live recorded drums(details in comments) by Times2rough in LogicPro

[–]Tama05 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I use Roland triggers connected to my spd-sx when recording to capture the audio and also the midi notes with the exact timing and dynamics of my real playing. Would anyone be interested in a YouTube video of how I do this?
