I bought the original paperlike and abandoned it shortly after that. I just couldn't handle the loss of visual clarity. Does the new version correct this?
@@dplj4428 not from my perspective. And from a usability experience with a stylus even if it did it wouldn't bother me if it was only slight. The experience using a stylus with it on is so much better that I wouldn’t go back to not having it. I think it slight takes off any reflection from a bright light.
Hi Dan thanks for all the great info. One problem I seem to have over and over again is closing a Safari page by mistake where I have multiple tabs open losing all of them. I know the usual go back in history etc but my last instance I had over 400 tabs open so that is not really an option except to fill in the last 20 or so tabs before it gets ridiculous. Wondering is there anyway to bring that page back once I closed it? I know there used to be a way that you would hold down the Safari button and another button would appear in the upper right hand corner, but that option seems to no longer be available. Thanks for any input.
This is a welcome addition. Too often I watch your iPhone videos and then try to duplicate the process on my iPad, only to find the iPad either doesn't use this feature or it uses a different way to get there. My iPad goes with me wherever I go, so help with iPad issues are very valuable to me.
I’m in the same boat as you. When I need to do audio communication I use Ear pods with my Apple Watch. For everything else there’s iPad. I only have an iPhone for CarPlay. As soon as CarPlay is available for iPad, the iBrick Pocket stays home forever.
@@EverettVinzant… iPad won’t fit car wireless charging pad: and I hate having long cable in the car. I keep my iPad in the central storage where there’s a USB.
@@lindaj5492 Congratulations on being one of the few people that has a new enough car to have full wireless CarPlay in your car. I’d still rather have the option to have a cable connecting my iPad than a pocket iBrick. But I’ll keep in mind your opinion that because you don’t like it, I shouldn’t be able to have it. I forget that everyone else’s use case is always more important than mine.
Voiceover is probably worth highlighting. It was this utility that got me to buy an iPhone and iPad. It’s been a vital, if quirky, tool since my eye-sight deteriorated three years ago.
I hope everything stabilizes for you & cannot bring you any more trouble than it already has with your eyesight. That is a terrible thing to have to endure.
I found your two recent iPad tips to be extremely beneficial. I might only remember one or two tips from each video, but I can refer back to refresh my 71 year old brain. My M2 iPad 12.9” is my daily driver. I probably spend more time on it than my Macs or iPhone.
To type the Esc key without having to remap Caps Lock or one of the other ones, you can press Ctrl+[ - this key combination has been around since the dawn of time, and has to do with what the “Ctrl” key did on ASCII computer terminals way back when. Basically, the ASCII code for “Esc” is 27 decimal, or 1B in hexadecimal (00011011 binary). The “Ctrl” key masks out the leftmost 3 bits, and the ASCII code for “[“ is 5B hex / 01011011 binary. So Ctrl + [ makes the left three bits into 0’s, resulting in 00011011 , or 1B in hex, which is… the “Esc” character. Similarly, the line feed character (1A / 00001010) is Ctrl + J (J is 4A / 01001010) … carriage return is Ctrl + M etc. This is also why Apple operating systems and products, which have roots in Unix, which has roots in the teletype systems of the past, have separate Ctrl and Cmd keys.
Oh wow, great explanation on the keybrd. It never dawned on me that the Apple keyboard has its roots in teletype green screen keyboards…even though I’ve used them, although mainly as an AIX admin using PuTTY. Very neat, and great explanation regarding the CTRL [ key mask. This actually makes it easier for me to remember keybrd shortcuts now. Thanks!
Another absolutely amazing video. I learned so much. Instead of a screen protector like paper like, I used a silicon nib. They work great and might be just a little more cost effective. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF THE TIME AND EFFORT YOU PUT INTO YOUR VIDEOS. WELL DONE!
Great tips, love that your demo of how to configure each is clear and makes it simple. I have an iPad Mini and the Apple pencil (with paperlike) and all the tips for using the pencil were new to me and helpful. Thx!
One feature that I love to use on my iPad 7th gen is that you can use it as second monitor to your Macbook. Alternatively you can also have your Apple Magic Mouse or Trackpad to navigate through both Macbook and iPad at the same time making it easy to multi-task on both devices.
Excellent tips. I had no idea about some of the tips you gave. Please publish a book of such guides, and I would like to purchase one. Thank you for the tips.
Great video man! Had no idea the audio could be played for an article im reading in safari. It’s just not something i thought would be useful. But, it helps if im in the middle of other tasks.
You should try the “Alex” voice for reading material off your Apple device. They have put a lot of effort into the voice to have it read like a real human.
Loved the calculation tip and also using quick notes as an easy way to save links. I’ve been using Paperlike since shortly after buying my iPad and it was a game changer for me as I use Notes all the time. Thank you!
You can also use the same accessibility features to read kindle books out loud to you when you can’t get audiobooks. You enable voice command and tell your phone to “speak screen” and it will do all this hands free.
Thanks for your great video. I always kept away from this type of writing screens, because they would take away the clarity of the screen etc, etc. On your recommendation I purchased the Paperlike. Well using the Apple Pencil is a breeze and it has not made any effect in me using the ipad for viewing youtube, films etc. I can recommend .
Is your voice available on voices? I love the sound and pace of it ! Please continue adding videos . From a senior that uses my IPad a lot but don’t want to bother my children to help me , I have learned soooooo much !!! Thank you so much ! One question, do you happen to know how to get your personal list of “save to “ categories on Pinterest ? It drives me crazy to have to scroll through them all. I would like to put them in alphabetical order . Thanks !
Stacking apps to move them is awesome tip. I hope that works on the iPhone too. Moving an app to the right edge has been problematic since it keeps trying to make a folder. I’ll have to try that Escape key option.
The focus mode is easier switched on by creating a simple shortcut for it from the Shortcuts app and putting a button for it on the home screen ;) Just one tap and you're there ;) Great video as always! I bought mine to try and use it instead of a laptop, but tbh I find myself using my Mac more often for work. The iPad is lovely for note-taking and drawing on Procreate for me.
Hi I use my iPad to edit photos on my canon A3 printer , I’m successful in getting the look of the picture but it prints out to bright possibly because the iPad is back lite fooling my printer to print to bright . Is there anyway to see a pre-print of what the printer will print. Or show how much you’ll need to darken the screen to match.
Very pleasant voice, good enunciation, step by step examples which is great for getting screen shots you want to save. Very well done, sir! Thank you. 👍🏻🙏🏻👍🏻
Paper like is fantastic. Have been using them for years. However the biggest downfall of them is the difficulty of putting it on zero bubbler. Out of the dozens and dozens of screen protectors I’ve installed none of them have given me as much trouble :/ still worth using with the bubbles though tbh lol
Great tips, thanks. Now, can you invent a keystroke (magic keyboard) to raise and lower the volume? I am surprised they left this out, along with the calculator. The tip for the latter.
The “creat a new page” option isn’t available when you create a custom Focus. Seems to be a choice only with the predefined focus modes. Also, when you create a custom page, I haven’t figured out how to edit it again although that screen does show up as a choice when creating a custom focus mode. Seems like this feature needs some work. Using IOS 17.3.1. Keep up the good work!
You have NO CLUE how many times I share screenshots of your friend, “Tim Apple,” with my friends & family here in America. 😂 You are quickly ascending to being included into “being left in the will” status 😂🎉!! Maybe you could come & meet all of us for the finalization celebration 🥳… just don’t forget Tim!!! 😜 Great content, as always. I’m an avid user of the iPad & have been since they were released & you even threw one by me here. I am, by no means, saying I’m a know-it-all, but I do watch a lot of these, I read a lot, and try to study them, etc. Very well done!
The latest iPad has some really great adaptability features, including voice control for the entire iPad. This is different than using the microphone on the keyboard rather in this case you go to the accessibility features and you can have it listen to you for entire voice dictation as well as the entire voice control of the iPad. Honestly, this voice control is one of the best ones. I’ve used the other element Is that you can choose to have it turned on and off based on whether or not you’re looking at the screen. This is for the voice recognition, but this can also be for keeping your iPad awake or sleep mode.
Tom, is there not some way that you can protect the PDFs that you make available to people (you say ‘please do not share’). Is it not possible to have a password that is automatically changed if the file is copied or forwarded, or something like that?
Interesting things, thanks for highlighting them. It is somewhat difficult to follow/remember all the details ... a book of PDFs with a useful table of contents and an index would be helpful. :) 😊
Great videos always. Consider doing a video on backup to external disk drive.iCloud has lost an important file so I am now backing up to an SSD. Your videos give no nonsense informative brilliantly explained information.
Love listening too you i have a apple iPad old person but love the idea of writing first with a pen first I have to slow you down because there is so much to take in keeping the brain working ✅
Loved the multiple app drag!! Been frustrated by the single up drag for years when reorganising my app layout. Any view on paperlike vs pen.tip? Seems like they’re trying to do the same thing, which do you think is better?
Thank you very much - I’m old school trying to learn - if you delete an app is there a way to get it back? I have had this iPad for over 7 years- it’s an Apple
If you get any of the newest Keyboard/Trackpad Magnetic Rebound Cases from ESR for the iPad, they have dedicated a proper Escape key, along with Mission Control/App Switcher and Siri Keys.
Great content, great tips. I’m two tips in and you’ve already improved and changed my iPad usage. I love laptops and I love my Mac, but hands down I use my iPads the most often - even though there’s a little guilt at not using my Mac more often :) Thanks. This is great stuff.
I saw that one of your focus modes was “driving”. Can you do a video about this, with some legal information as well. (When and how is it legal to use the iPad when driving. Thanks! And keep up the good work.
My iPad Pro is a permanent attachment to my body and 50% of my brain power.😂 I don’t go anywhere without it. I also work from home and exclusively use an iPad to manage a cleaning company. I have my iPad set up to take calls instead of using my phone. The calls ring straight through to my iPad and I can answer or decline and send it to voicemail. I have a headset with microphone which makes it even easier to answer calls. Because my hands aren’t fiddling with a phone, I can still navigate my software to help my cleaning techs or clients. When I am not at my desk, I can still answer calls on my phone. Using Siri with iPad and iPhone - I primarily use Siri on my iPad. To stop Siri from activating on my phone when it is next to my iPad, just turn the phone over, face down. Siri will then only activate on my iPad. I am not sure if it is because the Apple Watch is attached to the phone, but this also prevents the Apple Watch from completing the command and forces the iPad Siri to do the command. I forget to take the garbage out for pick up on the correct day… all the time. So I created a “focus mode” that is set to run on days I need to put the garbage at the curb. All it does is change the wallpaper background on my iPhone and iPad to a wallpaper that I made with a Recycling bin clipart image and text “Take to curb!” This automation runs on Monday and Thursday evenings from 6pm to 10pm and then automatically changes back to my regular wallpaper at 10pm. I do this because, if I am busy doing something else, a traditional reminder will get ignored and forgotten about until 5am the next morning when I hear the garbage truck coming down the street and I frantically run outside, in my nightgown and no shoes, to drag the cans to the curb. The wallpaper background change allows a visual reminder that I still need to do this at whatever random time I remember to look at my phone.
I’m trying to follow your instructions on the corner swipe. When I go to Notes in settings and find the quick note section, I can set the left and right corner swaps for function, but I cannot seem to turn on the corner swipe feature at the top. What gives?
I love your videos. Thank you for making this. I'm going to sit down with my coffee now and enjoy this. Wanted to get in there before everyone else. LOL.
Do you know whether there is a portable extendable display for the ipad? I found these tips really useful as my duaghter is vision oimparied and using the ipad as her eyes
Hi Tom, I finally utilised the full capabilities of using AutoFill today. I had to fill in some forms that would’ve otherwise taken me a while, but thanks largely to this feature I managed to do them in a fraction of the time and was so pleased with the results. Thanks for this all of your fantastic videos showing how the iPad can be a powerful productivity machine. Happy Easter 🐣
THANKS for this amazing video on iPad tips. There is so much more I can do with my iPad and your video(s) are helping me discover its capabilities. THANK YOU
Swipe up from the bottom left corner to take a screen-capture. That’s why you don’t put the Quick-note there. Then decide which tab, before pressing done.
You say you wish that you knew these tips years ago. I don't think all of them would of worked years ago. I have an older Ipad air which can not go above ios 12.5.7 and I can't use many of your tips. Apple's business model is to get you to update your Apple products often and since retiring I can't do that. I have an ipod touch that can't use even many of the old apps because of this. I only still use it for music and use the ipad air because I don't want to throw it away.
I was very excited to listen to your video and more excited about your first tip. But I never got past the first tip because the option to listen to page isn’t active. It’s greyed out. What do I need to do to change that. Thank you.
Thanks a lot for this and the previous iPad video. I recently sold my Mac because I never used it. I rely on my iPad Pro M2. I’ve started using it “Pro” by connecting it to a monitor, but have had a few issues, like sometimes this weird thing happens where the iPad Magic Keyboard no longer types after disconnecting from the monitor. If I reconnect, it will type fine, but I have to reboot it before it works again. It would be great if you were to talk about power management. When connected to an external monitor, the iPad consumes much more power than usual. Is it healthy to keep it plugged in all the time?
is there any apple product that lets you digitally sign a document? not actually signing with the pencil, but one that can be verified (i think) on another computer/client. the ones i’ve seen are not pretty, and don’t really look like a typical signature. thx!
On ipad air (i am guessing also on ipad pro) under multitasking, there is option for stage manager. Anyone use this before? I can’t really understand how this work
Don't know if it can be done. My question: when selecting some games, it comes up in the portrait mode. I like using games in the landscape mode. Can I (somehow) rotate the portrait mode to landscape mode? Or is it because the game format just doesn't allow it? Thx. Just another guy who is amazed at your bag of tricks with the iPad. I have the Pro model and love it. I keep all my required documents in the Notes as necessary. just subscribed.
I was most interested in the iPad's ability to read text aloud. However, when I tried to change the Siri voice for reading text, the iPad ignored my change. I tried shutting down the iPad, then in edit mode, I deselected the Siri voices I had I previous chosen; but still got the original Siri voice. Any suggestions?
I as for the edit form pdf is will not working if send over window machine the text can’t see. As for note by adding the note with 2 tap on Lock Screen I will It recommended as your friend or other other who have your iPad they can login without password
thank you so much sir !I am using an autofill from an app with a monthly subscription which cost me a lot😢 now I can cancel it😊 thank you so much sir ! you're an angel😅
Question. I use Bluetooth keyboard and mouse with my iPad and when i watch TH-cam and want to maximize video to full screen with my mouse it does not do that, i have to pause video than push full screen icon it goes full screen and than push play, and once again when it is full screen i want to go back again pushing minimize button it does not do anything, pausing pushing icon, video goes to default view size and again push play button it plays the video.
Will I be able to access your PDFs from a windows computer when I sign up? Love your videos! As a junior Senior 😉 I need to see some things in larger print. I love your voice too, I’d choose you for my Siri voice! 😊
Awesome tips. If you have a hotline to Apple get them to add that bizarre looking top left key to the modifier key's list. This one [ § ] I mean, who actually ever uses that? And it's top left so the perfect place for an escape key!
Anyone else having or had a problem when selecting a new voice for the spoken content accessibility feature and, not actually switching from the default voice. For instance, I’ve selected Siri 1, but it’s still defaulting to the default voice. Evan when in the settings page. It shows that i have indeed changed to Siri 1. Any suggestion on what might be happening, and why it’s not working correctly ?
Honestly I think that the reason behind a good number of people that used iPhone but didn’t like it or didn’t find iOS/ipadOSit very impressive, are people that don’t know the ins and outs of software tips and tricks like this. Honestly started myself the last few months to use more voice commands or shortcuts while doing things and my device usage “speed” or I’ll say efficiency has absolutely doubled at the very least
Really nice video! I love my R1T and after one year and 25,000 miles I am officially ruined by Rivian there’s no way I can drive anything that doesn’t go 0-60 in >:03 and rock crawl 😢

I tried to change the voice when Ipad reads to me and followed your instructions to the letter but voice does not change. Still weird computer voice.
Really useful tips and I absolutely loved the tip on moving multiple apps. Thank you so much.
Great video man! Had no idea the audio could be played for an article im reading in safari. It’s just not something i thought would be useful. But, it helps if im in the middle of other tasks.
I didn’t either and then found a bunch of freaky voices you can get to read for you, had to laugh at the whisper.
You can also use command period as an escape key
How do implement Command Period combination, without losing it’s function?
You should try the “Alex” voice for reading material off your Apple device. They have put a lot of effort into the voice to have it read like a real human.
Excellent info. Ipads are sort of like the brain, I think, with just a small percentage being used! Thank you for helping me use a bit more, of both.
I agree on the excellence but it’s been proven that humans do indeed use almost all their brain capacity. 😊

If you get any of the newest Keyboard/Trackpad Magnetic Rebound Cases from ESR for the iPad, they have dedicated a proper Escape key, along with Mission Control/App Switcher and Siri Keys.
Amazing content as usual. My favorite tech guy❤
This was a very helpful video. Thank you so much!
Great content, great tips. I’m two tips in and you’ve already improved and changed my iPad usage. I love laptops and I love my Mac, but hands down I use my iPads the most often - even though there’s a little guilt at not using my Mac more often :)
Thanks. This is great stuff.
I saw that one of your focus modes was “driving”. Can you do a video about this, with some legal information as well. (When and how is it legal to use the iPad when driving. Thanks! And keep up the good work.
My iPad Pro is a permanent attachment to my body and 50% of my brain power.😂 I don’t go anywhere without it. I also work from home and exclusively use an iPad to manage a cleaning company. I have my iPad set up to take calls instead of using my phone. The calls ring straight through to my iPad and I can answer or decline and send it to voicemail. I have a headset with microphone which makes it even easier to answer calls. Because my hands aren’t fiddling with a phone, I can still navigate my software to help my cleaning techs or clients. When I am not at my desk, I can still answer calls on my phone.
Using Siri with iPad and iPhone - I primarily use Siri on my iPad. To stop Siri from activating on my phone when it is next to my iPad, just turn the phone over, face down. Siri will then only activate on my iPad. I am not sure if it is because the Apple Watch is attached to the phone, but this also prevents the Apple Watch from completing the command and forces the iPad Siri to do the command.
I forget to take the garbage out for pick up on the correct day… all the time. So I created a “focus mode” that is set to run on days I need to put the garbage at the curb. All it does is change the wallpaper background on my iPhone and iPad to a wallpaper that I made with a Recycling bin clipart image and text “Take to curb!” This automation runs on Monday and Thursday evenings from 6pm to 10pm and then automatically changes back to my regular wallpaper at 10pm. I do this because, if I am busy doing something else, a traditional reminder will get ignored and forgotten about until 5am the next morning when I hear the garbage truck coming down the street and I frantically run outside, in my nightgown and no shoes, to drag the cans to the curb. The wallpaper background change allows a visual reminder that I still need to do this at whatever random time I remember to look at my phone.
I’m trying to follow your instructions on the corner swipe. When I go to Notes in settings and find the quick note section, I can set the left and right corner swaps for function, but I cannot seem to turn on the corner swipe feature at the top. What gives?
I love your videos. Thank you for making this. I'm going to sit down with my coffee now and enjoy this. Wanted to get in there before everyone else. LOL.
Do you know whether there is a portable extendable display for the ipad? I found these tips really useful as my duaghter is vision oimparied and using the ipad as her eyes
Hi Tom, I finally utilised the full capabilities of using AutoFill today. I had to fill in some forms that would’ve otherwise taken me a while, but thanks largely to this feature I managed to do them in a fraction of the time and was so pleased with the results. Thanks for this all of your fantastic videos showing how the iPad can be a powerful productivity machine. Happy Easter 🐣
Again, great info. And most new to me! But I don’t have Preview on my Ipad to use the PDF form fill function. I’m running 17.5.1. Advice?
2:01 I hate the contextual menu and how you have to hit the arrow to access more options. I wish they would display all options in one little menu.
THANKS for this amazing video on iPad tips. There is so much more I can do with my iPad and your video(s) are helping me discover its capabilities. THANK YOU
Ermagerd!! Mind blown! Thank you so much. I'm in love with my iPad again.
Swipe up from the bottom left corner to take a screen-capture. That’s why you don’t put the Quick-note there. Then decide which tab, before pressing done.
Awesome. Have you done a video on adding a signature or other data to an attachment such as a Word document. Thank you.
This guy knows his stuff!
The option to click listen to content was there but not bold (dimmed) so I couldn’t select that. How do I turn that on.
Thank you. I usually figure out most functions of my iPad or so I thought.! 😎
You say you wish that you knew these tips years ago. I don't think all of them would of worked years ago. I have an older Ipad air which can not go above ios 12.5.7 and I can't use many of your tips. Apple's business model is to get you to update your Apple products often and since retiring I can't do that. I have an ipod touch that can't use even many of the old apps because of this. I only still use it for music and use the ipad air because I don't want to throw it away.
Edge on Android also reads web pages. The sound is pretty life-like.
Can you please do a full on focus mode and detail?
I'm literally editing that video as we speak!
@@ProperHonestTech also notification summary? With the focus modes?
Thanks for your sharing on Ipad tips. I just couldnt find the keyboard hardware on my settings. Btw, I am using ipad 10 generations.
I was very excited to listen to your video and more excited about your first tip. But I never got past the first tip because the option to listen to page isn’t active. It’s greyed out. What do I need to do to change that. Thank you.
I don’t have that option either. It’s not even there, never mind greyed out.
Love your video😃
Scribble is genius - unfortunately it does not come in my language so it is limited how much I can use it. Wish apple could fix that.
Thanks a lot for this and the previous iPad video. I recently sold my Mac because I never used it. I rely on my iPad Pro M2. I’ve started using it “Pro” by connecting it to a monitor, but have had a few issues, like sometimes this weird thing happens where the iPad Magic Keyboard no longer types after disconnecting from the monitor. If I reconnect, it will type fine, but I have to reboot it before it works again. It would be great if you were to talk about power management. When connected to an external monitor, the iPad consumes much more power than usual. Is it healthy to keep it plugged in all the time?
9:31 the bull's eye icon in Control Center is for Screen Recording, not to open the Notes app.
is there any apple product that lets you digitally sign a document? not actually signing with the pencil, but one that can be verified (i think) on another computer/client. the ones i’ve seen are not pretty, and don’t really look like a typical signature. thx!
On ipad air (i am guessing also on ipad pro) under multitasking, there is option for stage manager. Anyone use this before? I can’t really understand how this work
Don't know if it can be done. My question: when selecting some games, it comes up in the portrait mode. I like using games in the landscape mode. Can I (somehow) rotate the portrait mode to landscape mode? Or is it because the game format just doesn't allow it? Thx. Just another guy who is amazed at your bag of tricks with the iPad. I have the Pro model and love it. I keep all my required documents in the Notes as necessary. just subscribed.
I was most interested in the iPad's ability to read text aloud. However, when I tried to change the Siri voice for reading text, the iPad ignored my change. I tried shutting down the iPad, then in edit mode, I deselected the Siri voices I had I previous chosen; but still got the original Siri voice. Any suggestions?
I as for the edit form pdf is will not working if send over window machine the text can’t see. As for note by adding the note with 2 tap on Lock Screen I will
It recommended as your friend or other other who have your iPad they can login without password
Como siempre muy útiles tus videos. Muchas gracias.
thank you so much sir !I am using an autofill from an app with a monthly subscription which cost me a lot😢 now I can cancel it😊 thank you so much sir ! you're an angel😅
Question. I use Bluetooth keyboard and mouse with my iPad and when i watch TH-cam and want to maximize video to full screen with my mouse it does not do that, i have to pause video than push full screen icon it goes full screen and than push play, and once again when it is full screen i want to go back again pushing minimize button it does not do anything, pausing pushing icon, video goes to default view size and again push play button it plays the video.
I have a Paperlike for my ipad Pro arriving today. Need to kill the glare…
Will I be able to access your PDFs from a windows computer when I sign up? Love your videos! As a junior Senior 😉 I need to see some things in larger print. I love your voice too, I’d choose you for my Siri voice! 😊
Yes, the PDFs are accessible on windows, Mac, Android, iOS etc, essentially any computer that can open a PDF file.
thanks alot , this was very helpful
When I tap the A’s it doesn’t say ‘start listening’ option, just ‘show reader’ or hide toolbar etc
Fantastic! Thank you!
Where did you get your desktop shelf? What brand is it. I need get one and yours looks tidy. Thanks Robert.
Awesome tips. If you have a hotline to Apple get them to add that bizarre looking top left key to the modifier key's list. This one [ § ] I mean, who actually ever uses that? And it's top left so the perfect place for an escape key!
Anyone else having or had a problem when selecting a new voice for the spoken content accessibility feature and, not actually switching from the default voice. For instance, I’ve selected Siri 1, but it’s still defaulting to the default voice. Evan when in the settings page. It shows that i have indeed changed to Siri 1. Any suggestion on what might be happening, and why it’s not working correctly ?
What is the minimum release for iPad to Have your iPad read to you work?
Honestly I think that the reason behind a good number of people that used iPhone but didn’t like it or didn’t find iOS/ipadOSit very impressive, are people that don’t know the ins and outs of software tips and tricks like this. Honestly started myself the last few months to use more voice commands or shortcuts while doing things and my device usage “speed” or I’ll say efficiency has absolutely doubled at the very least
I find it wild that the Magic Keyboard folio has more function keys than the regular Magic Keyboard. Most of which I don’t use.
Well spoken, thank you.
What’s the switcher or device under your square monitor?
As always, great content. Thank you!
Hi, thank you
Really nice video! I love my R1T and after one year and 25,000 miles I am officially ruined by Rivian there’s no way I can drive anything that doesn’t go 0-60 in >:03 and rock crawl 😢
1:51 I use reader view regularly and I never even noticed that option 🤯….
Brilliant!! Thank you very much
