Keep it going! Enjoy seeing iPad content from users who actually understands the device!
Just picked up my 13 inch with MKB and I’m blown away! So excited for WWDC and the future of the iPad. it’s my favorite computer.
I turn on “Double-Tap to Drag” without drag lock in Accessibility > Pointer Control. It helps a ton with long drag operations on the trackpad, especially when using an external monitor. It lets you drag items without constantly physically pressing down on the trackpad, just sliding your finger. And it gives you a short grace period where you can lift and reposition your finger to move the cursor further like one would when not dragging. It’s a godsend on the tiny trackpad on the Magic Keyboard, but I find it takes just a little too long than I’d like to stop the drag behaviour. In a perfect world they’d bring Three-Finger Drag from the Mac, it’s such a productivity boost when working with trackpads it’s crazy to me it’s not on by default!
Thanks for the tip!
This is awesome.
I was like yeah yeah, whatever, I know all of this - and then "show links on hover" came up and my jaw dropped 😮 I had no idea this was a thing on iPad
Always a welcome episode when you go through your setup and it has shown many cool things over the years.
I'm just here to say love your videos and hope your channel grows to 1 million.
Great video Chris
Nice video. Enabling the favorites bar in Safari seems like a small thing, but it really helps give it more of a desktop feel.
Excellent video, Chris! Gave me some good ideas and/or reminders for things to set up today on my new M4 iPad Pro!! :) thanks for being such a great advocate for this device and those of us that love it so.
Thanks for this video. I always learn something ….. in this case, I did not know you could change how the cursor looks. 🙏
The “More Space” option wasn’t something I had noticed before. I don’t know what I’m going to do with all this space now!
Great video! Thanks!
great video! I like that you make videos for the device you use as your main computer, so you know what you re talking about
Great video - thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the suggestions, especially around the resolution of the iPad. I never knew it could be changed, and I was furious that I can't code properly on it in Playground. Now that's fixed thanks to you :) Only thing is missing now is a fully capable XCode on the iPadOS.
Edit: And probably iTerm.
With Quake style console.
I love the tips app
I love how you keep referring the iPad as "my computer." Just remembering the haters that yes, it is in fact a computer
imagine that he had a whole fridge with build in tablet on the desk talking to it like that
A s3verely disabled computer
this guy amazing thank you so mush
I’ll have to go theough this list again. So many good like typing instead of speaking to Siri. Maybe i’ll use Siri now. Is there a shortcut to turn Siri off or on, or maybe in control center? After having Google Assistant join in a conversation, i was spooked about user either of the two busy bodies.
9:51 i turn off the iPad SHAKE TO ERASE, to scary to have on a default.
Thank you for sharing your settings. I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find it. Where is “Fixed position volume control”? You mention it around the 5 minute mark.
I have been looking for this feature myself. Hopefully Chris will see your comment and provide instructions.
which font do you use on obsidian? I started using the app by your productivity video and I love it, btw I’m waiting for that video, and want to know which theme are you using
Best content on the internet. TFS.
Glad you think so!
What’s that music widget you have on your Home Screen. Don’t like the stock one
Hey, why do you prefer to have stage manager on? (If you don’t multitask Or only use two apps at once, would you still do it?).
So many settings to change there. I used to use DND focus but now will do similar to yours regarding notifications
We need a video for MacBook settings as well. Wondering if similar settings applies on your iofs.
I need to know what clock widget that is!
Your a wealth of information! Your iPad screen looks clean, where are all your apps??
In the App Library and Dock
Location services, I don’t need significant locations ON in my iPad settings as many other settings regarding location
Chris- my iPad doesn’t have the option to turn off auto lock. The longest I have is 5 minutes. Is that something in the new iPads? I have an 11” M1. Am I just missing something?
248GB of music😳 That's… impressive
I’m using iPad 9 as my productivity work and I felt like I’m so small by watching your video 😢
I would recommend reducing text size if you have no problem reading.
On a recent iPad Air or Pro, you can have automations set up that alternate between 2 different UI text sizes when you connect or disconnect from an external monitor. Very handy for getting even more content on the monitor!
In my 20’s I would agree with you, in my 30’s now and there is no way I could. 😂
Wondering if there is a way on a macbook to do that? Though I agree in my 30s I think it must be one only lol
@@Abdullah-zl9ub I don't use a Mac, but it'd most likely be in the accessibility or display settings. Could be wing though
I wish I was one of the smart people and waited for the keynote. I just bought a 12.9 M2 chip iPad Pro 6th gen 5 weeks ago for $1,850 CAD and this new m4 is out now. I feel RIPPED out of my soul. I usually only use it for gaming as I’m a bartender and my tips bought this. HAAALLLP 😂😂😂
Apple has a 14 day return policy, and sometimes they will extended it in the store if a new model came out and you get a nice person.
Compare:
- if you don’t need Apple Pencil Pro AND you have the M2 pro already, DO NOT buy the m2 Air: I have your m2 pro, and except for a few specifications is almost same as this 2024.
- BUT, if GAMING is your thing, i see that the m4 pro spec sheet has ray tracing which might be good if any game developers are going to do it.
Are those dividers between areas in THINGS 3 native to the iPad? I don't see a way of enabling them in my mac and I really like how they look.
I believe they are on the Mac. It’s been a while since i’ve used a Mac, but on the iPad you drag the new task button to the left side of the list column
We complain, but as far as improvement in the OS there are often so many new features or improvements that i don’t discover them until 2 OS updates later ❤😮😅
6:24 Having more apps in the dock would be nice, but I would prefer not to say goodbye to the Handoff suggestions. Can I have both?
I think it kicks handoff off. I haven’t used a Mac in a while and I rarely ever used handoff between my iPhone and iPad.
I personally always, always disable backround refresh, because that does absolutely nothing other than eating up my battery life. It also reduces the performance on my ipad by about 15 percent which is absoluetly unnecessary especially given how little it actually does. If it does actually do something useful in certain apps though, please let me know!
How much do you pay for all of your app subscriptions? I’ve sought out many of the programs you use and most of their subscriptions are $10+ a month.
I wish I could find a way to make the homescreen more useful. But with the iPads being mainly designed for fullscreen apps, or multitasking. I find it tricky to really make the homescreen feel useful.
Fixed position volume control settings are back on the M4 iPad? M2 did not have this and forced you to use the “auto swap” feature when rotating… biggest pet peeve I have with it lol
I searched for the setting, but could not find it.
My iPad 6 on iOS 17.5 has this setting. Today I got my M4 iPad and it’s missing the setting. So annoying, it makes zero sense.
Yeah sorry, I should have clarified, this is for older iPads. I don’t know why those have the setting and the new ones don’t.
To answer your question about what setting I value above all is... is the More Space option particular having the extra small font to allow more content to show.
Such a good one!
thanks a lot. I didn‘t know „Try to Siri“ existed. That‘s quite good. Yet, I only have the old magic keyboard and that doesn‘t have a microphone key and „press top button“ isn‘t convenient to use. Is that any way I could use a custom key? Or shortcut to activate „Type to Siri“?
Unfortunately not right now.
You can use globe + S to invoke Siri
@@tahanumansimsek Cool! It works! Thanks a lot!
@@ChrisLawley One of your followers told me to use "globe + S" and it works!
Every time people tell me you can’t use your iPad as your main computer I point them to your channel.
I mean, yes you can. But not if you are truly advanced computer user, for example software engineer or physicist. The fact that programming on the ipad is really inconvenient (although possible) or the fact that it does not have active cooling or the fact that its operating system is inferior to that of MacOS in almost every respect is what makes people say that
with no background tasks you need to have a really long time in the toilet while uploading your new video from "computer"
I hide the favorites bar on Safari, because I see my favorites whenever I tap on the URL bar or start a new tab.
I prefer using spotlight
You missed fast haptic touch! Accessibility -> Touch -> Haptic Touch -> Fast. Closest thing to the 3D Press in old iPhones.
My iPad doesn’t have haptics of any kind
So I had that written down, but then when I went to change it on the M4 iPad it was already on fast. I didn’t restore from a back up so I am wondering if that is the new default. I need to check another device.
I miss 3D Touch like crazy, nothing is the same as it
When doing videos like this please incorporate timestamps. Given there are a million videos like this or there a way to quickly determine unique points/tips is appreciated.
Is there a way to use Command+q to quit an apple with hardware keyboard?
CMD+W will close the current window. That is as close as you will get for now.
@@ChrisLawley Hey that works.
@@ChrisLawley Is there any way to get a Rectangle app like window management to quickly position windows to the left right or full screen with keyboard??
how do you keep the dock always up?
I just use that stage manager setting.
Love your content. However, I wish there was a little less in each video with a slower presentation. It is just a lot to process and because there is so much to learn from your videos, less could be more.
A curious question: Are there people over eighty years of age who are very elderly people who own modern smart phones??!
Yes. My Mom is in her early 80s and uses an iPhone 14 and an iPad Air daily. She calls her iPad her sanity saver!
Suggestion about Dark Mode: Since the new display is OLED, the pixel are actually *off* when fed "black" signal - thus, should theoretically use less power. Would be interesting to do a battery test of using w/ (1) DarkMode + Black wallpaper, vs (2) BrightMode + 'white' wallpaper. (using screen at highest brightness will highlight any differences the most). Insights here could be a great for the iPad community!
Just guy a PC , and you never have to do worry how make it more productiv .
First!
Too good not to subscribe.
I was today years old when I found out people still use safari
The whole notification stuff only makes sense on a phone, so contradictory to the whole propaganda of making iPad your next computer...
