Ive been wanting to use a paper-like screen protector for some time but my iPad has a small cluster of cracking in the lower right corner (puppies knocked the thing out of my lap one day a could years ago LOL) and I wonder if attaching an overlay to it might pull the cracks up and out of the pad frame when removed. Thoughts?
“👍🏼” I think. Sure. iPads and Mac’s aren’t the same BUT, and it’s a big but, Apple themselves have kind of been touting iPad as a laptop replacement. And it really isn’t. Sure. For some use cases an iPad will replace a laptop but that is for light administrative work I’d imagine. I think I would get by with an iPad for email calendar and such for private use, and I DO 😂. For my profession I actually need a windows PC AND a Mac computer as well as an iPhone and an Android phone. And since Microsoft 365 rules the business world lots of non Apple apps. But. You’re absolutely right in that this review doesn’t pit Mac’s against iPads.
So many accuse Apple of “touting iPad as a Mac replacement“. But nobody has been able to produce a single occurrence when Apple has EXPLICITLY said “ iPad can replace your MacBook”. Still waiting for the evidence. (And no, putting an M series chip in iPad and offering a Magic Keyboard does NOT mean Apple is telling you to ditch your MacBook.)
@@operabrotha5208 well… there is that moniker they’re pushing about the “Post PC era” though… that implies doing away with computers altogether and replace them with an iPad. Just saying. I use both a Mac and an iPad. Even though I don’t code, don’t edit videos or photos professionally I do think there is room for both devices in my workflows. If I had to ditch one device though it would be the iPad.
Me as well. I just bought a new iPad, and I still don’t know and don’t get how to make it productive with the iPad since I’m also has a laptop. But once I watched, it is very useful tips!
I’ve been right clicking on my computer for windows, for the better part of 25 years and using Mac and iOS since its inception. Your single RUclips video has blown me away with incredibly useful tips for getting the most productivity out of my iPad. You have earned yourself a subscriber and my deep appreciation thank you and please continue spreading the awesome.
I appreciate the sponsorship and screen protection aspect but I do find the small silicone pencil tip covers also give a realistic paper experience for a fraction of the cost. The coloured ones also enhance the spatial awareness of where the pencil tip is in relation to the screen In retirement I ditched our PCs and laptops as soon as the iPad appeared, so subject matter such as this video are much appreciated
Do you have a recommendation for the tips? I have the Apple Pencil 2 and iPad Pro M2. Have tried Paperlike on my old 2018 iPad Pro but ended up taking it off because it took away from the quality of the screen.
Great video, should be compulsory viewing for all iPad owners! Clear and concise without being condescending. I didn’t know about dragging text to copy or the calculator in spotlight!
I will have to watch this again. I buy every new iPad that comes out and use it when I go to meetings or other offices, so I don't have to take my laptop. These tips are genius. I had yet to learn these functions were available. Especially the screenshot swipe, markups, and grab text. I am waiting on the new iPad Pro 13" M4. I also have a fully speced MacBook Pro. One day, I'd like to use the iPad. I need to watch many more videos to harness the real power.
interesting you buy every iPad and still aren't a power user. do you just enjoy collecting them all or just too busy learn the features? it sounds like you're missing out on so much despite having all the latest tech
As always, I learn so much from your clear, concise, and imminently useable content. I really appreciate your videos and the time you put into them. Thank you!
Thank you for this. I have been using the iPad since the first one in 2010. It has been great to see how the Ipad has really grown into a laptop replacement in most cases.
This was awesome. Just purchase new iPad Pro to compliment my docked Mac book pro. I had the original 2010 iPad pro and definitely wasn’t maximizing its potential - though the battery life was nearly nonexistent 14 years later and the touchscreen had some dead spots. Excited to leverage this as a productivity tool!
Great content! I’m pretty good with Mac and IOS but every time I watch your videos you give me so many new ideas and ways to make my work easier and more enjoyable. Thanks. I was also hoping for the GoPro tips.😅
Guided Access seams like the perfect setting for child usage. Let your kids play with a specific app and set a timer. Not sure if I'd use it to keep myself focused though.
This is great. Had to switch from surface pro to iPad because of work compatibility, and have been struggling but some of these tips are super helpful.
It is done automatically be the Siri Suggestions widget. Each widget shows 8 apps based on what Siri thinks is best for you at that time. If you use multiple widgets of the same type, each shows different apps.
I love your videos but Siri Suggestions are IMHO crap the AI of Siri. Seriously I made 4 and had duplicates I had AI apps in 4 different widgets. They make no logical sense other than most used but decent AI would group similar apps together. It oppersite to productivity
Wow! Very helpful! I’m always looking for ways to make my iPad more productive. I am looking forward to Sequoia and iPad OS/iOS 18 coming in the fall and the productivity increases they will bring. Thank you for this very professional and practical video!
I actually feel that the iPad is the best thing Apple has created. I can leave their phone or MacBook but there isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t use my iPad. I have now updated my iPad Pro after 6 years.
For me, "honestly" your channel is the best channel for all things iPad. I this particular case, with QUICK NOTES on the desktop, the window ONLY shows the most recent quick note, i.e., none of the other QN I've created before the last one, not a list of all your quick notes (as your screen shows in the video)... Thoughts?
You need to select the normal notes widget, then edit the widget and select the “quick note” list. That gives you the full list of quick notes rather than just the last one.
Your video prompted me to try using the Globe key as you had pointed it out. And it did absolutely nothing at all. (A Logitech case/keyboard combi.) After a bit of searching, I realised there is Logitech iPad Keyboard Control available from the App Store. Downloaded, installed, ran - some firmware update(s) and a restart later - and the Globe key works! And I know what I can do with it. Had simply ignored the key until now. With how I use my iPad it has not been important, but I can certainly see it being used in future. Adding this in case anyone else has a similar issue.
Awesome overview of iPad’s functionality. An iPad is indeed not a mac (and hopefully it never will be) and can provide great productivity once you understand it’s logic as explained so well in this video.
Thanks for all those tips it was what I was needed! I didn’t know Files could be that useful. I can’t figure out how to get Google Drive show up in Files on my iPhone, it works well on my iPad. Rgds Janptr
Quick note is handy when I use Switcher studio as switcher studio will will quit if you go out of it. so quick note stays on top and you can copy and paste your text in and out of it with no penalty
In my previous post I forgot to mentioned that I love “Paperlike” products. Paperlike not only protects the iPad screen from scratches (especially if one has the tendency to drop the pencil) but when one is writing or drawing it makes it feel better. The pencil doesn’t “slide” on the glass and the hand or fingers don’t smudge the surface. I think it makes writing feel like a more natural experience.
Seriously great video! The copy and paste gesture blew my mind! Now I have a question that I don't believe you covered on this video; I noticed on your home screen you have groups of apps that have regular size icons. I have many apps grouped, but the icons are always so small within each group that I have to enlarge the box to access them. How can we create these groups where we can see the apps icon in their regular size? (like we see them in the library pretty much)
Absolutely amazing video! I learned so much! There’s no need for me to buy the M4 iPad. I have to learn how to use the one I currently have! Thank you!
I swear… if Microsoft apps worked properly on iPad (either apps or browser online versions….) I wouldn’t need my Mac mini. And this video shows one of the reasons why.
Hi, the Siri suggestion function; is there no way to set up the apps that you want in that specific box? If you have multiple Siri suggestion boxes, you do want to set which app to be in which box. Thank`s for this good video, appreciated👍
G'day, Another great video Mate. I am now convinced to update to an iPad for working away. There are two little things that I wish could be fixed or do you know if it can be done? 1. Being able to see my email in chronological order from top to bottom, just like in Mac mail. (I think I'm one of the few people who still like using it this way 🤣) 2. Sometimes photos doesn't pick up a face , and there is no option to create on like you can on the Mac version. I have a lot of scanned B&W and even some colour that it won't notice the face. Any help with these would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the great vids. Most of what I now know is from your vids. Cheers Mate
Gladly, they just released the M4 chip so this tasks can be done even more professionally 😅 Jokes aside, excellent video as always! I tried the 3 fingers copy/paste gestures but it didn’t work for me, it just zoomed in like a normal 2-finger pinch gesture. I’m on an old iPad so perhaps it’s not compatible with this.
This is a great video, but I’m always confused about using my Apple ID for my iPad that I use for phone and Mac. Should I have different ones? Or if I use the same how do I keep each device unique in its layout? When I used my Apple ID from my phone for my iPad it basically just copied my entire phone and laid the apps out as a copy basically. I’m totally lost! Thanks for you help! And maybe a video on this would be great!😊
But how do you get your folders and widgets to be that size? I must be missing something because mine will not resize for me. I’ll watch it through again and hope I see what I missed. I like the quick note on the desktop or home screen, but mines only shows two and is done.

now this is the RIGHT review...and not comparing iPad with Mac. iPad is not Mac, Mac is not iPad. Good and professional review. keep on.

@@DarrinLin spending $2500 on the M4 has incentivized me to become a power user. I’ve watched dozens of videos.
Very helpful. Thank you!
Wow. Subscribed. I use my iPad religiously for work and lately been gaming on it. I’m gonna copy some of this
Your content is fantastic! So well worded and really helpful tips! Keep it up!
Absolutely awesome tips!! Thanks a lot
This video is app-solutely brilliant! 🤩
for the first time ever an ipad review i find worthy of watching since my first ipad from 2018
One of the best reviews/tips I've ever seen for iPad 👍
I am really grateful for having found your channel.
You are such a great teacher…Thanks for all your very helpful, easy to understand knowledge.
As always, I learn so much from your clear, concise, and imminently useable content. I really appreciate your videos and the time you put into them. Thank you!
I’ve watched a lot of reviews, tips etc… but this is amazing. First time I see someone using siri shortcuts and the screen looks so organized. Cheers!
I thought he’s going to mount a GoPro on the iPad😂
@@aralcubukcu hahahahha
me too
Thank you for this. I have been using the iPad since the first one in 2010. It has been great to see how the Ipad has really grown into a laptop replacement in most cases.
I could never remember the copy and paste gestures. The “pick something up” and drop it down is a great memorization idea.
Brilliant video. Thank you
Excellent. I thought I knew everything there was to know about the iPad, but I learned a lot from this.
Great Review! Found some of this very helpful.
Yoo my iPad feels wayy more expensive now 😂. Appreciated!!
what a deviously well-timed video.
That quick note thing is awesome!
This is a very helpful tutorial. You are a fountain of wisdom. Thanks!
Thanks, my ipad is pure chaos, great tips.
This was awesome. Just purchase new iPad Pro to compliment my docked Mac book pro. I had the original 2010 iPad pro and definitely wasn’t maximizing its potential - though the battery life was nearly nonexistent 14 years later and the touchscreen had some dead spots. Excited to leverage this as a productivity tool!
Tom, thank you very much for this video, very excellent information. I particularly loved the trick about the quick notes widget. Thank you!!
Super helpful. My iPad use habits definitely needed this. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this! I can now use my iPad for its money's worth!
Great video with easy to follow tips, perfect!
Absolutely brilliant time savers! 🤩 Thanks, Tom 🤗

Great video, i learned a lot of good things about how to keep my device for productivity and not get distracted :) thank you for sharing it.
Definitely spending sometime on changing my Home Screen! This is great! Thank you!
EXTREMELY HELPFUL! Learned so much. Thank you for your videos.
How do you make this Groups of App's? Means, how can i sort my Apps in these Group of 8 Apps?
It is done automatically be the Siri Suggestions widget. Each widget shows 8 apps based on what Siri thinks is best for you at that time. If you use multiple widgets of the same type, each shows different apps.

Amazing video, ive had an iPad for years but couldnt really get in to it for work…i will try your tips, many thanks 🙏
I’ve favourited this as I’ve learned quite a lot from it TBH, stuff I never knew existed. VERY useful, Thank you.
I actually feel that the iPad is the best thing Apple has created. I can leave their phone or MacBook but there isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t use my iPad. I have now updated my iPad Pro after 6 years.
Bonus tip 2 is game changer.
As always a few good tips here that I didn't know about. I really don't use my iPad in the correct way it seems!
Incredibly useful thanks!

One of the best ipad videos. Subbed
But what does it SOUND like writing on the paperlike screen cover? Is it very loud? Thanks for doing all these videos, I love them!
Was I the only one who thought he would use a GoPro camera in an iPad?
Haha great timing for your video and the title is extra nice 😂
As always, loaded with great information. A few new things I’m going to have to incorporate. I’m on my iPad all the time! Thank you 😊
Awesome overview of iPad’s functionality. An iPad is indeed not a mac (and hopefully it never will be) and can provide great productivity once you understand it’s logic as explained so well in this video.

Thanks for the helpful refresher! I have a 1st gen 11" Pro gathering dust, and now that I'm upgrading to the M4, this info is exactly what I needed.

Hi, thanks for sharing nice content, can you create a video as to how to use Final cut pro or guide to best online course to learn it.
Thanks
Appreciate your video, switched to S9 and doubt if I’ll ever go back to iPad.
YOU CAN MAKE folders on a Mac to. It’s just not as easy
Three finger pinching to copy on a safari page is almost impossible. The page zooms out to thumbnails view.
Absolutely amazing video! I learned so much! There’s no need for me to buy the M4 iPad. I have to learn how to use the one I currently have! Thank you!
Really good and notticed tutorial. Thank you for this very much!
You can have App folders on the mac by creating a folder, putting the apps (or links to them) and placing it in the dock 🤓
I swear… if Microsoft apps worked properly on iPad (either apps or browser online versions….) I wouldn’t need my Mac mini. And this video shows one of the reasons why.

How do you like those Genelecs? I've been tempted by them a few times.
