As a student in university with a huge workload of very high level math, a lot of biology, a lot of computer science classes. The iPad helps me keep track of everything and is my study partner. So many flash cards, hand written notes, a lot of ebooks and audiobooks, and a lot of images that need writing on- all only really possible on the iPad with my insane flow and workload. My Mac is good for actual coding but my iPad covers literally everything else plus is a second screen for my Mac. It’s insane what it lets you do
For me, Split View works best probably 80% of the time. But I’m glad Stage Manager is an option because there are some times when it’s the only way. For example, when I need to monitor more than two windows at a time, or to take full advantage of a large external display. There are also some older or less updated apps that don’t support Split View. If I want to see another app alongside one of those, Stage Manager is the only way to get that done.

Thank you, so helpful! Your videos have taught me so much over the past year. The only thing I had to learn on my own was how to do a right-click on an iPad. In browser apps made originally for Windows, but Control + Click did the trick. And in general, I wish there was a big tutorial how to move from Windows to iPad. 🙏 It's not been very smooth ride for me. But really, you've helped a lot.
I use stage manager without a mouse and keyboard and it’s great. It’s less about keyboard and mouse and more about how you are comfortable working. Also I have gone back to the iPad speakers while connected to an external monitor all the time so curious why you can’t.
I was really disappointed when I found out that I can't go back to the iPad speakers when connecting to external monitor/dock. Hope Apple can change this in a future update. One other thing I found a bit annoying is when I set my iPad (11 inch M4 iPad Pro) to only charge to 80%, the external monitor/dock that has power supply will disconnect when it's charged to 80%.
Hey, a couple of quick questions: 1. Are you planning on an Obsidian video soon? It would be a massive help and 2. Would you recommend Nano Textured screen? What are your experience with Nano vs. The regular screen on iPad?
You can use the iPad speakers as audio output in while connecting to a display. This is added around last year. Maybe it doesn’t work because you were connected to wired headphones or something.
Hope the audio out through Ipad speakers when plugged into external monitor becomes a feature. It has better speakers than a Mac Mini so this should not take away from the experience nor should latency be an issue. Is the oled feature worth the upgrade from an m2 pro 11 incher with lcd? Into casual media consumption and light lumafusion editing but am a noobish pixel peeper and enjoy hdr content. Intrigued by having an iPad Pro as a portable solution for on the go edits during meetings and travel, not completely leaving behind the Macbook. Any lighter and more affordable keyboard recommends other than the Magic and Logitech (find the keys a bit too mushy) offers? Thanks! Keep being our iPad hero, Christopher. God speed.
Hey, dude 😊 👋 Do you have a video on the Elgato _Neo_ and/or _4K X_ Capture Devices? When I first got my M1 iPad Pro I would’ve killed to get a high-quality recording/streaming option for it. I haven’t used either, but I definitely would love to try! THANK YOU I learned a life-changing tip from you with the three finger tap. DUDE! THANKS!
Hopefully this will speed up my iPad after the last update I have the (2021 ) iPad Pro and it was running atrociously slow and not running anything like LumaFusion or da Vinci resolve
Thanks for the superb ipad pro tips! Quick question, I have a 240hz monitor, is there any way I can run the ipad external display on anything other than 60hz on my monitor? 2nd question, my bluetooth mouse feels really sluggish when paired with my ipad pro (even on my ipad screen itself), must I use an apple magic mouse to get smooth cursor support?
Hi, thanks for the great content on iPad. I have one question - did you ever face the problem with changing the Safari profiles via Focus mode, while connected to the external monitor? Because this happens to me all the time. Whenever I connect my iPad Pro to the external monitor, the Safari profile switching stops working, when switching focus modes. Thanks!
Hi Christopher, very good video as always 😊 I have a question for you as iPad master here on the platform :P My iPad connects automatically to my Macbook with continuity, and I love this feature. But yesterday for instance I was managing some files on my iPad and I had to do a copy/paste to move files from one folder to the other (locally on the iPad), unfortunately, just the action of Copying started a transfer to the clipboard of my Macbook... And it was 36Go of 4k Videos 🙄 I mean, it's a good feature to copy/paste in between devices, but it should transfer at the copy, but only at the pasting 😅 Otherwise, it keeps on transferring useless datas all the time 🤷🏽♂ Is there a way to prevent that?
i am trying my very best to enjoy stge manager and at this point i just cant yet. pretty frustrating. not even sure if Apple is choosing to develop it further or not.
11:00 That’s weird. I’m on iPad Air 4 on iOS 17 and I am able to change my to iPad speakers when connected to an external display. I don’t remember which update but I wasn’t able to do that before and my external morning has no internal speaker. So when I connected to external monitor there would be no sound. Maybe because my monitor is not Apple and has no audio output and that’s why I can output audio from my iPad? 🤔
Actually I could not understand non M series ipads only miroring screen to external monitor its completely not possible to extend monitor for a series ipad ,mine is ipad pro 2. Gen as far as I know could you please comment if it is possible. Thank you for you videos they are very useful 👏🏼
In iPadOS 18, The ability to modify the Globe Key on a hardware keyboard like Logitech (Logi) Mx Keys is not available, which is exactly where I need it.
So background sounds can continue when other sounds play? If iPadOS can do that, why the hell doesn't this work for Apple Music!? Can someone hack it so you can add a custom mp3 or whatever to the custom sounds list? I just need some beats...
I tried to connect my M1 iPad Pro through a USBc-HDMI adapter and... it doesn't work, it doesn't even mirror the monitor: the iPad seems to get the fact that it is being connected to an external display, as a monitor icon appears in the volume bar, but it instantly disappear, and only a dongle-like icon is left in the upper-right corner... does anybody have an idea why?
You cannot be productive on ipad which has the same price or even less than macbook m3 baseline which can do waay more than lol ipad sorry mate i just sold m4 ipad for way way better UNLESS you drawing for living . Done and don’t urge
@@Diablist it depends on what you’re doing. I’ve used an iPad Pro as my main/only device for years (since the iPad Pro 9.7 from 2016). My workload has spanned copywriting, social media management, web design/wordpress management, graphic design, customer service management, warehouse management, and data analytics for manufacturing. Almost every company I’ve worked for used some sort of web or app-based solution to manage their business. Zendesk for customer service, slack for inter-company communication, trello for project management, etc. Granted, I’ve worked generally for small companies or freelance, and larger corporations might have certain programs or IT security requirements that would limit what device you can use. But for many companies and many industries, you can successfully use an iPad. I find it more productive than using a Mac because swiping through apps is faster, the limitation of how many apps you can have on screen at a time helps me maintain focus, and the flexibility of inputs means I can interact with my work as efficiently as possible (use a keyboard for typing, use a pencil for graphic work, use a camera for document scanning, use touch for navigation and scrolling, etc.)
The four app limit is because of Ram limitations. What what would be the point if the the additional apps are constantly refreshing or lagging/unresponsive
But the fact you can have 8 when using an external monitor disproves that. Besides my iPad has 16GB of RAM. If it was just a ram limitation Apple could allow more windows on iPads with more RAM.
@@andreasreif9354 macs become unresponsive or laggy all the time. The only mac I have used that doesn’t have that problem is a 64gb M1 Max mbp that I received for work. My personal M1 Pro with 16gb gets laggy after a few days.
@@ChrisLawley not really as then you’d either have to allow 16 apps (which would worsen performance) or split the apps when connecting to an external (a poor user experience) Plus stage manager is buggy enough as is we don’t need to make it more resource hungry 😅
Bullshit. macOS can handle dozens of windows with 8gb ram. M4 iPad Pro could too. And there will be a point that you’ve got too much open in macOS, but there is no artificial constraint built into the os to stop you. And some of these windows are tiny. The limit is stupid and needs to go. Or at least make it a preference, like “more space”.

So much stuff you can do with a iPad that I didnt knew about.
Awesome!
That apple music history setting in your focus modes is a godsend. Had no idea that was possible.
As a teacher, my iPad is my only computer and I dont know if im the only one who finds Split View more useful and better than stage manager...
I’m a sales rep and for me it depends what I’m doing. I mostly use Split View, but there are times when stage manager makes more sense.
Split View is definitely better. Stage manager isn’t smooth enough to be used correctly
For me, Split View works best probably 80% of the time. But I’m glad Stage Manager is an option because there are some times when it’s the only way. For example, when I need to monitor more than two windows at a time, or to take full advantage of a large external display.

AGREED. I much prefer split view and slide over
Yeh spilt view rocks, I use it every day. I never use Stage Manager though.
You can swipe on the edge for slide over apps, this is easier and actually this is the way it works before the 3 dots are added in iPadOS.
I use both split and stage depending on what I am doing and I love it
I passionately hate Stage Manager 😅 It's such a waste of precious screen estate, which is too small anyways.
Great tips! I love my iPad. Over the years it has become my #1 productivity tool.

DUDE, props to you. I’ve been using my iPads for a few years now and my mind is blown. I really didn’t know about some of these features…..
I prefer using Split View. I am not a fan of floating windows, and even on my Mac, I tend to limit the number of windows I keep open at a time.
So cool video I love the tips you have
Thank you!!
Always enjoy your video content. Thanks
Thank you!!

I don’t have wired headphones attached. Maybe I’ve never seen it cause I use the Studio Display. Weird either way.

6:46 my hunch is it’s a limited to four because of RAM, not due to the M4 processor.
I’m stuck between getting m2 13 inch air , m2 iPad Pro or an m4 11 inch iPad Pro… not sure which one I go with
18:40 globe key if you do nit have an Apple keyboard.

How did you get that finder app I see in your dock?
If you use a second monitor will you still be left with the two black blocks left and right or is the entire screen filled?
