If you are seeing the dreaded iPad is Disabled: Connect to “iTunes” error, this post will help you get rid of it.

iPad is a great device in terms of portability, accessibility, and elegance and it has been designed with perfection and that holds equally true for its security system.

The security system has been tightened so much that it is nearly impossible to access your device if it has been infringed, or even when someone types in a wrong password redundantly.

Now, this can either happen on purpose when someone is trying to unethically log in to your device or it can happen accidentally. And more often than not, the latter takes significance when you just don’t remember your password or your kid fiddles around with your device only to disable it eventually.

There are a bunch of reasons why your iPad is disabled and can’t connect to iTunes, in the next section of this post we are going to list all the major problems and then tell you exactly how to fix them.

 

1. Reasons for the Error

There are a couple of reasons why your iPad is disabled error appears on your device and depending on the frequency of their occurrence, they are:

1.1. Too Many Passcode Attempts

One of the most common reasons for iPad disabled connect to iTunes error is the extra wrong attempts on the device passcode. This usually happens when you either forget the passcode or other people (read naughty children) type in the passcode too many times, eventually leading to an error in question.

1.2. Error While Connecting to iTunes

Sometimes you have done everything right and didn’t mess up things like mentioned above but you still get bombarded with the error “iPad is Disabled, connect to iTunes” as soon as you connect to iTunes, ironic! But what happens to a lot of people. There is no absolute reason for this error except for the fact that it happens quite often.

No matter what triggers the error on your iPad, the next section is going to cover all the options you can try to get rid of this perturbing iPad Disabled, connect to iTunes error.

2. Solutions to Fix the issue

There are solutions to everything online but the problem is they are superfluous most of the time, if not easy to follow. But we promise this post is going to be different, as we are going to highlight the major solutions for this iPad Disabled, connect to iTunes error and hopefully do that in a manner that is comprehensive and easy to follow for most people.

2.1. Using iTunes

The first and probably the safest method to get rid of this iPad Disable, connect to iTunes error is to use the good old iTunes backup. This can be done by following the steps below:

Step 1: Connect your iPad to a PC or Mac through a functional and Apple verified USB cable.

Note: It should be noted that if you don’t have an original Apple Certified cable then that might be the problem for the error itself. I have personally found myself in error limbo only to find out later that it was a problem in the USB cable the whole time.

Step 2: Locate your device from the left side navigation pane, or simply search for the device from the search bar located at the top right-hand corner.

Step 3: You are going to find a Back Up Now option as soon as you hit the small iPad button highlighted in the image above. You can go ahead and Back Up your iPad now on your computer.

Step 4: As soon as you hit the Back Up button, you will be asked to type in the password of your iPad, and if you remember it correctly now, you can type in the password and cancel the backup subsequently.

2.2. Restoring your iPad Through iTunes from a Previous Backup

If this trick works for you then, great! You have successfully unlocked your device but, if the iPad Disabled, connect to iTunes still persists, you can follow the instructions laid down in the next section to restore your iPad from iTunes.

Note: This method works only when you already have a previous backup of your iPad on your Mac or PC.

Step 1: Connect your iPad to your PC and Mac and open iTunes

Step 2: If the synchronization process does not happen automatically, you will need to go to the “Back Up Now” button as mentioned in Step 3 of the previous section.

Step 3: Wait for backup and synchronization process to complete, this usually takes time, depending on the amount of data and apps on your device.

Step 4: Reconnect your iPad and click on Restore your iPad that appears right next to the Back up your device button.

Step 5: Choose “Restore from iTunes Backup Button”

Step 6: Locate the backup you just did in step 2 and wait patiently for the process to finish.

If everything goes as planned, you will not only remove the iPad Disabled, connect to iTunes error from your iPad but also have access to all data, documents, photos, emails, and settings.

2.3. Using the iPad Recovery Mode

If you are not able to use the first two methods, this is a sure shot as it completely restores your iPad to factory firmware and settings. However, if you still want to keep all of your iPad data, apps and settings on iPad, you should definitely backup your device on iTunes and then restore it after the issue is fixed. To put your iPad in recovery mode and remove iPad Disabled, connect to iTunes error, follow the steps enlisted below.

Step 1: Connect your iPad to iTunes through a certified Apple Cable.

Step 2: Reboot the iPad in Recovery mode. This can be done by switching off your device, keeping it connected to iTunes through the USB cable and then pressing and holding “Home” as well as “Power” button, simultaneously.

Step 3: This will put your iPad in Recovery mode confirmed by the presence of iTunes icon on your iPad as shown in the image below.

Step 4: After the iPad is restored, you can disconnect iTunes and iPad and reconnect again. You can then restore your iPad to the previous backup through iTunes to recover all the data, apps and documents.

2.4. Using 3rd Party Software

If you are not a big fan of contingency and don’t find yourself backing up your iPad just for the sake of it, then restoring your iPad from iTunes is definitely not going to help. There is, however, an effective alternative, the alternative is in the form of 3^rd Party Software that allows you to get rid of this irksome iPad Disabled, connect to iTunes error without actually having to use iTunes.

The first method we are going to demonstrate doesn’t employ even a third party app to fix the issue but instead uses the iCloud Backup to do so. If you are not familiar with iCloud, follow the instructions laid down in the next section to remove iPad Disabled, connect to iTunes error from your iPad.

Note: This method works only if you already have iCloud sync and backup enabled on your iPad.

Step 1: From a PC or Mac, open a browser and type in icloud.com/find in the browser.

Step 2: You will be prompted to sign in with your Apple ID, use the same ID as that on your iPad to log in.

Step 3: At the top of your browser window, you will find an All Devices button, click on it.

Step 4: Select your iPad and Press Erase [Device] button, this will remove passcode and unlock the disabled iPad without iTunes.

Step 5: Now, you can restore your iPad from the iCloud Backup to gain access to all data, apps, and documents.

2.5. Using EaseUS iPhone Recovery

This software allows you to restore your iPad from iCloud backup without having to use iTunes and therefore comes in handy if you are not able to connect your iPad to iTunes for some reason. The method can be used to access your disabled iPad and more importantly helps you eliminate the iPad disabled, connect to iTunes error. To use EaseUS for this purpose, follow the instructions laid down in the next section of this post:

Step 1: Download the software for Mac or Windows from the links below.

Windows: http://download.easeus.com/trial/ems_trial.exe

Mac: http://download.easeus.com/trial/ems_mac_trial.dmg

Step 2: After you have downloaded and installed EaseUS on your computer, launch the software and choose Recover from iCloud from the left-hand navigation bar.

Step 3: You will need to navigate to the most recent iCloud backup or the backup that was working properly from the next section. You will then need to press Scan to download it to your computer, and search data.

Step 4: After the scan is complete, you will be asked to choose the right file types that you wish to recover and install on your iPad. When you are done with all options, click the Recover button to restore all the data, apps and documents to your iPad.

2.6 Fix the Issue Without Restoring

If you are somehow not able to make the recovery mode work, or not able to connect to iTunes or still not able to fix the iPad disabled, connect to iTunes problem with the solutions mentioned earlier, there is still hope. This problem is not sparing but it is not seldom either, a lot of people report that they are not able to put their iPad into recovery mode and therefore don’t care about losing data after all a data-less working iPad is better than a complete brick.

The next section of this post is going to help you Fix the Issue Without Restoring your iPad. The method we are going to use is called “Putting your iPad in DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode”. This method is a sure shot to not only remove iPad disabled, connect to iTunes error, but also for the gravest errors on an iOS device and if DFU doesn’t work there is not much you can do, except for taking your device to Apple service center.

Putting your iPad in DFU mode is, however, a bit tricky, it needs a bit of practice but if you follow the steps mentioned below, you will be able to restore your iPad easily.

Step 1: Plug in your iPad into a Mac or PC.

Step 2: Launch iTunes.

Step 3: Power off your iPad.

Step 4: Press and hold the On/Off button on your iPad (The button located on top) for 3 seconds and immediately follow the next step.

Step 5: Press and hold the Home button (The main button below the screen) without removing your finger from the On/Off button.

Step 6: Keep on holding both the buttons for about 10 seconds continuously.

Note: If you can see an Apple logo after step 6, it is an indication that you have launched your iPad normally and therefore need to restart the whole process.

Step 7: Let go of the On/Off Button but keep holding the Home button for about 5 seconds.

Note:  If you see the “Plug into iTunes” screen, then you’ve held it too long and will need to start again.

Step 8: If the screen stays completely black, Kudos! You have entered the DFU mode successfully and will be alerted by iTunes that it has detected your iPad and is, therefore, ready to be restored.

2.7 Fix the Issue with Non-Computer

OK! We are going to say it blunt and without beating around the bush, there is no way that you can Fix the iPad Disabled, connect to iTunes issue without actually connecting it to iTunes. You can go on for hours searching for the same on the internet. Forums, websites, YouTube, you name it, we have checked everywhere but no one seems to provide the right guide to fix the issue with Non-computer. Even the official Apple support suggests you put your iPad into recovery mode through iTunes.

Keeping all that in view, we think that if you do not have access to a personal computer you can borrow one and install iTunes on it. You can then either put your iPad in recovery mode like we mentioned in the previous section of this post. However, we personally think that the best fail-safe mechanism to get rid of this iPad disabled, connect to iTunes error is to put your device into DFU mode and performing a complete factory restore. The entire process has been laid down in section 2.6 Fix the Issue Without Restoring.

3. Take it to the Service Center

If you have tried everything in this post without any result, then it will be safe to assume that there is not much you can do than to take your disabled iPad to a Service Center. There are plenty of Official as well as unofficial Apple Care centers throughout the world but we recommend you take your iPad to a store that is Apple certified.

You can find an Official Apple service center around you through this link and select Service and Support. You will then be prompted to insert your postal address and Pincode and the website will give you a list of nearest Apple Service centers.

4. How to Avoid the Issue in Future

This might sound like a cliché, but “Prevention is better than cure” and it is a cliché for a reason, and this time, for the right reasons. We are sure that following any or all the methods in this post were cumbersome so it is always better to prevent this from happening in future. There are a few tips you can take home from this post to prevent this iPad disabled, connect to iTunes issue from happening in future.

4.1. Remember Your Passcode or Don’t Use One

If you do not have heavy intel or extremely private information on your iPad and you also tend to forget things, the best thing to do is to just avoid Passcode altogether. In case you are still wary about your privacy, we suggest you at least keep it written physically somewhere to use it in inadvertent circumstances.

4.2. Say no to Children

If you are going to give your iPad to children, why bother with the Passcode anyway? The best way, therefore, is to remove the Passcode entirely, or at least when it is with those pesky infants.

4.3. Always Have a Contingency Plan

This is not going to prevent iPad Disabled, connect to iTunes error but it sure is going to help you, if unfortunately, you hit this rock bottom in future. You should always try to keep iCloud backup synced and working when you are on a Wi-Fi connection. And it is also a great idea to backup your iPad every once in a while on your PC or Mac through iTunes.

We hope this exhaustive post was able to fix the iPad disabled, connect to iTunes issue on your device. If it still persists, feel free to reach to us with the errors and we will try to get back to you as soon as possible.

Rolling out of Apple iPad back in 2010 brought up a paradigm shift in the form of an entirely new technology gadget category we now adore as tablets. No one even considered that the iPad Screen Resolution would be like what it is today.

No doubt tablets were in the market before the advent of iPad, but we can all agree on the fact that iPad is a generation apart from the tablet devices that came before it.

One of the most important thing that sets it apart from its early rivals was the beautiful display specs and resolution it came with.

And, the portability, elegance and everything above that was an icing on the cake.

Technology has changed a lot since the original iPad came out and so has the screen resolution.

And if you really care about the sharpness of your iPad display and particularly resolution, but don’t know which one to go for, this post is certainly going to help.

iPad Screen Resolution (1st Gen)

iPad 1 was released on April 3 in the year 2010 by Steve Jobs himself, and it was received as a brilliant device right from the presentation. This was further proved by iPad’s sales, that hit the roof with over 300,000 sold in first 24 hours.

This iPad featured Wi-Fi connection with a display size of 9.7” and an anti-scratch coating over a pixel density of 132ppi.

iPad Mini (1^st Generation)

While everyone was busy making bigger tablets following the principle of “bigger is better”, Apple actually made a U-turn and came up with a smaller device in 2012 in the form of a device that would be remembered as the all famous iPad Mini 1.

The device came in with a 7.9 inch (200mm) display with the same LED technology used in the previous iPad’s. Despite its smaller form and minimal resolution, the device was a huge hit among customers, probably because of its high portability and relatively cheap price.

On top of it, the iPad Mini Retina also came at a price about $100 less than the previous one, all these reasons factored in to make it a huge sales success.

This was done by gearing up this 6^th generation iPad with the first-of-a-kind triple-core processor, making it faster than any iPad device.

10.5-inch iPad Pro (2017)

The most expensive iPad Pro to date, maybe because of its ability to extend the display while adding only about a ½ inch to the overall form with respect to iPad Air. Following the 2017 lead of minimal bezel, this device is sure pleasing to look at.

The performance is also the best in iPad series but the whopping price of $649 dollars makes you want to think twice if you should give in to that elegance.

How to Create Your Own iPad Pro Wallpaper

You would think that creating wallpaper for iPad Pro is as simple as cropping it to the desired resolution, Right? Wrong!

Well, there is more to it than just simple cropping; this is because when creating your own iPad Pro Wallpaper, you don’t only have to keep in mind the resolution but also the orientation.

Simply put, when you put a wallpaper on an iPad Pro, it is able to adjust the resolution according to the orientation of the device, that is, between it’s 1024 (2048) tall and 768 (1536) pixels wide in portrait mode and 768 (1536) tall and 1024 (2048) pixels in landscape mode.

To take care of this problem, you will need to follow the directions written in the next section and all the custom wallpapers will be at your disposal.

Step 1: Open an image editing software that has at least the basic editing options, we are going to use Photoshop for this purpose, but anything with the basic features, like cropping, will do just fine.

Step 2: Create a new image in a square with edges of 1024 x 1024 (2732 x 2732 for the new iPad Pro 12.9).

Step 3: Now depending on what you consider the most important part of your image, you want to crop that part so that it is visible at the center.

Step 4: The last step is to save the image at 264 dpi and you are all set to transfer your very own wallpaper and use it on your iPad Pro.

When Apple iPad came out, almost everyone thought of it as just a blown-up version of iPhone but despite the popular belief it actually is an entirely new beast altogether. This is not only because of its large display, portability, and elegance but also because of the way it integrates best of the both worlds. For these reasons and then a lot more, iPad can be used for media consumption as well as creation and writing on an iPad is no exception.

Albeit, there are a few places where iPad lags when you compare it with a standard laptop but that is the whole point of iPad, to be subtle and sleek while also being able to pull off productivity through its inbuilt features.

The best thing about having an in-built touch keyboard is that it is a software in essence and thus can be modified either through the alterations provided or by installing a third-party keyboard app altogether. Apple seems to have taken the feedback from their customers pretty seriously and have tweaked the keyboard in iOS 11 with features like Key flicks and more, that accentuate the typing experience.

While having a physical Bluetooth keyboard can be a game changer, knowing How to Type Faster on an iPad can be an equally awesome accolade, even so, because you wouldn’t need to carry that extra bulk with you everywhere. Keeping all those things in mind, in this post we have extensively collected everything on How to Type Faster on an iPad and we are sure by the end of this post you will be a typing ninja.

 

Setup Your iPad For Speed Typing

Let’s start by setting your iPad up for maximum typing speed. This is more important than you think because all the tools in the world are useless if you don’t have the technique to use them in the most efficient manner.

Positioning your iPad

Holding your iPad vertically like a typical smartphone might not be the best way to go about typing on an iPad. This is partly because you are using a lot of your hand to hold your iPad and your fingers get a lot less freedom to type in faster. To avoid this problem, we recommend you set your iPad on a tabletop while also orienting it horizontally, it also helps a lot if you have a subtle cover like an Apple Smart cover that holds your iPad at a better angle.

Also, make sure you are hovering your hands over the keyboard to avoid mistyping and for a more natural typing experience. That being said, it certainly helps if you are already adept with a normal physical keyboard, if you are not, then you have bigger problems to worry about. With enough practice, using this method only will bump up your typing speed several folds and will also allow you to spend more time looking at your screen than the keyboard itself.

Splitting your iPad in Half

If you are stubborn about typing on iPad in portrait mode, iPad’s in-built Keyboard split feature might just be the thing for you. To enable this, all you have to is press on the keyboards halfway and then simultaneously swipe towards the end. This will cut the keyboard in half which helps quick thumb typing. Although, this method might not fill the bill of typing faster on an iPad it certainly works in portrait mode and enables swift thumb typing.

Enable the Right Keyboard Settings

As a general rule, you want to enable a few customized Keyboard setting to enhance your typing experience. This can be done by going to Settings > General > Keyboard and enabling every option: Auto-capitalisation, auto-correction, check spelling, Enable Capslock, Shortcuts, Predictive, Split Keyboard and shortcut.

Use the Power of Siri

If you are in a place where there is no noise interference or where people won’t think you are crazy talking to a slab, then this method is for you. This method could very well be the fastest way to type on an iPad, after all, what could be faster than talking? After you have turned on the dictation mode on in the Settings > General > Keyboard menu, you can go back to writing. Only this time, instead of tapping on your iPad keyboard, simply tap on the microphone button as shown in the image and then begin speaking. Siri gets it right 9 out of 10 times, for the one time it doesn’t get it, simply proofread and make any necessary changes.

Use all your Fingers

This might not feel like the right thing to do, but you have to trust your muscle memory and let it do its thing by using all your fingers. The only thing that will hold you back from using this method is the fact that you won’t be able to rest your fingers on the home row keys, but with enough practice, you will be able to master hovering and be a typing savage in no time.

Suggestions, Corrections and Most Used Words

One of the great things about iPad software keyboard that a physical keyboard can never do is that it is able to predict text, suggest words and even correct most of the words easily. This simply means that when you are composing a text the keyboard will show the suggested word when you are just a few letters deep into the word. This inevitably means that this won’t work for small words like “you” “an” and the like.

You can cross check if this method works for you by simply typing in and seeing if there are any suggestions while you type. To accept the suggested word, simply tap on the suggested word on top of the keyboard.

Most Used Words

The typing completion feature works really well for word contractions like “can’t,” “it’s”, “they’re”, etc. You don’t have to type the apostrophe for these kinds of words. Just type “theyre” and the apostrophe will automatically be typed for you when you hit the spacebar.

The same goes for many proper nouns like “iTunes”, “iPad,” or “Twitter.” If it doesn’t suggest the correct spelling, including the capitalization, simply make the correction yourself and the next time you type the word, the correct spelling should come up as a suggestion.

So, if you watch the screen as you type, you’ll be able to take better advantage of the suggestion and correction feature.

Create Text Expansion Shortcuts

A text expansion is a set of letters you type in on your iPad Keyboard that brings forward an entire phrase or sentence that you have already set. This feature will help you type faster on an iPad, especially if you often have to type in same words or phrases over and over again or just send emails with proper greetings and footnotes.

To enable this feature on your iPad, hop onto Settings > General > Keyboard and go to Text Replacement. In the Phrase section type in the phrase, you wish to type in and then in the shortcut select the keyword that will prompt this phrase.

Once that is all done, you can type in any text in Notes app or compose an email and then while you type the Keyword (iPadable in this case) you will see the suggested phrase over the top edge of the keyboard. Tap on this phrase to insert it in your text.

Edit errors in Batches

It is a good idea to edit words that are the correct replacement of your typed in words as you type them but it is a completely different story when it comes to editing words that are mistyped. For the latter case, we recommend that you write the whole thing in one go and then when you are done, you can go back and proofread and remove any discrepancies in batch. This method will save you time as you go with the flow of typing and prevent both idea blockage and time as well, which eventually makes for faster typing on an iPad.

Tips for Typing Faster on iPad

Now that we have all the major things about typing faster on an iPad out of the way, we can go forth with some useful tips to further enhance your typing experience. These tips are in no particular order of importance but if you follow most of them you can rest assured that these tips for typing faster on iPad are going to multiply your typing speed several folds.

Basic Tips

One of the things that come handy when you are a massive user of WhatsApp, messages or iMessage is having a period at the end of sentences without having to press a dedicated button every time. You can get away with double tapping space bar and a period will be inserted at the end of each sentence, automatically.

The other small tip for typing faster on an iPad that will come handy often is the ability to type in a fully capitalized word like an acronym or abbreviation (example: USFDA, USA, FBI, etc.,). This can easily be achieved by double tapping on the shift key. When it glows blue, everything you type in from thereon will be typed in capital letters. To go back to normal mode, tap on the Shift Key again.

Faster Editing

Copying and pasting have become more of a necessity than plagiarism these days and knowing how to shuffle between these two come in pretty handy on an iPad. First things first, you need to know how to select the text you wish to copy, if you want to select a word, you can just double tap it, if you want to copy an entire sentence or a paragraph you have to triple tap the sentence nimbly.

Alternatively, you can just tap and hold the word to highlight it, and if you wish to increase the highlighted text area you can use the little blue lines at the end of the highlighted section to include the desired length of the text.

Moving Cursor Precisely

One of the most irksome things I personally found using an iPad is that while typing it can really get annoying when you are not able to move the cursor to the exact spot where you want to make corrections.

The easiest way to go about it is to use the iPad Keyboard, this can be done by simply tapping and holding with two fingers on the onscreen keyboard. Then if you want to go left or right, up or down of the text, you can simply drag both of your fingers to the place where you wish to make corrections. This, in my opinion, is the most precise way to make point corrections without getting into gory tapping battle.

Undo/Redo

Another little addition to the editing side of iPad typing. Having a undo and redo key around while typing can be a saver and unlike iPhone where you can just shake your phone to prompt undo, same cannot be done on the monstrous, at least not without looking like a crazy person.

To avoid this problem, Apple has included a dedicated Undo and Redo button on the in-built Keyboard. To access it you need to tap on the 123 Button and you will see a big Undo button. To Redo, you simply need to tap on the #+= key.

Insert Symbols and Accented Letters

There is no way you are going to insert symbols using the iPad Keyboard without actually knowing how to do so. There is an easy way to do that on an iPad, just tap and hold on the symbols that are already available and then when you find the right one, tap and leave that symbol.

To demonstrate that for more clarity, let’s say you wanted to add a pound symbol (£), to do so you can tap and hold the dollar sign ($) and select the pound from the carousel.

Similarly, you can type in the accented letters by tapping and holding on the respective letter and a list of accented letters will pop up for you to insert in the text.

AutoCorrect

Despite all the memes floating around about how bad the auto-correct on iOS is, there is substance to its actual efficiency. It is automatically enabled on iPhone and iPad, and some of the many places where this feature comes in handy include some commonly misspelled words, a word without an apostrophe, like ‘theyre’ will be automatically converted to they’re and on and on.

Switching between Inputs

Switching to the second and third keyboard panes to type punctuation and numbers is one of the biggest slow-downs. To make this a bit better there are two important keyboard shortcuts that everyone should know: starting from the center of the comma (,!), swipe upwards through its top border and then release. This will type a single quote (‘). Use the same upwards swiping gesture from the period (.!) to type a double quote (”). With these shortcuts the six most common punctuation symbols and all of the letters are reachable without hitting the .?123 key.

Quick Domain Suffix

Browsing on an iPad is an absolute pleasure until you have to type in every domain suffix every time you want to visit your favorite site. There is an easy way to add .com, .org, .net and other most commonly used TLD’s (Top Level Domains). You do so by simply tapping and holding on the .com button and then without removing your finger, drag to the TLD you wish to enter and release when you are in the right spot.

The Degree-Sign

Inserting a degree sign, as in temperature can get you really “hot” in the end if you don’t know how to access it. Thankfully, Apple has buried the degree symbol in 0 and O buttons, to access the degree sign, you can tap and hold any one of these buttons and drag to the degree symbol and release once you’re there.

Using QuickType for Faster Typing on an iPad

This is easily one of the best tips for typing faster on an iPad. You might already know that QuickType tries predicting the word that’s going to be typed next. So, if “auto” is the word typed, it may suggest the word automatically or automobile. It also gives suggestions for the words you may type from what you’re already typed, so if you say hello, it can suggest hello, how are you. Perhaps this is the best way to type faster on an iPad.

To use QuickType, tap the bar at the top of the keyboard. If it isn’t useful to you, touch the QuickType bar at the top of the keyboard and use your finger to slide it down and hide it.

Keyboard Click Sound

Although most people turn off the annoying key click sounds on an iPad as soon as they get hold of an iPad, it is actually counterproductive. This is because the click sounds that keys make when you hit them allows you to confirm your key input and thus makes for a faster typing experience on an iPad. If you have already disabled the sounds on your iPad and don’t know your way around to enable it again, you can go to Settings > General > Sounds and switch Keyboard Clicks on from there.

Swipe to Type

Swiping is often a lot more ergonomic than typing in, letter by letter, on an iOS in-built keyboard. Swiping over a keyboard basically, allows you to type in faster by linking words to your drawn pattern on the keyboard. This can be done by starting off with the first letter of the word and then while still holding the button, swiping to the next letters in that word till you’re done.

Apple’s inbuilt iOS keyboard does not support Swipe input but there are a lot of third-party keyboards that more than get the job done. Some that deserve a special mention include a Keyboard from Google and Microsoft that are iOS supported.

Gboard to Search and Insert

If you install Gboard Keyboard on your iPad, besides getting access to all the awesome features like swipe you also get access to something Google is best at, that is, search. Using this feature, you can search for any keywords and a link to the most relevant article will be displayed which you can easily into the text.

The best part about this though is that you can actually insert GIFS, images and other related media, which is a huge pro if you’re into all that stuff.

TIPS AND MINOR WORK AROUND TUTORIALS

Without further adulating GarageBand lets move on to the actual GarageBand iPad Tutorial. In this first section we will help you with some of the tips and other peculiarities that you must know before moving on to recording a song.

Import an Audio File

You can use the Drag and Drop method to simply add audio files into the black area of the timeline or ‘RealTrack’. But before all that, you have to convert your audio file into Apple-compatible format. Some of the iPad compatible audio files are MP3, AAC, and FLAC. The DRM protection may also pose a problem especially if you have purchased your file from Ovi, Zune Media store or the like. You can take care of it by removing the DRM protection and then proceed with the Drag-Drop procedure.

Adding Effects to Guitar Track

To add effects to your Guitar Track, tap-open the track info page, locate and tap on the guitar amp tab. You can then spin the amp window around by clicking on the Edit Button located on the top corner of the screen. You then have to go back to the guitar amp and click on the arrow pointing upward in the lower pane. You can then choose any standard effect provided from the single effects slot and add it to the guitar track.

Rename Track Region

You can also rename a region within the track by opening Track editor from your GarageBand iPad app. You can then see current name of the track at top left corner which can be renamed by double-clicking on it and then typing the new name.

Use Guitar Amp

You can use Guitar Amp in GarageBand only after connecting your electric guitar to your iPad. This can be done using 3rd party devices like iRig from IK Multi-media.

Edit Chords

Chords used by the smart instrument(guitar, keyboard, bass or strings) can be edited for different variation or order rearrangement.To do this, choose a smart instrument, and then from the Song Settings Button, Tap edit Chords. On the instrument that you selected, Tap one of the Chord Strip and you can then begin rearranging by swiping the chord wheels. You can also choose the chord, alternate quality, and bass note. Tap Done when you’re satisfied.

Keyboard

There is a lot you can do with Keyboard in GarageBand for iPad. You can begin with swiping between different Keyboard sounds. You can choose the size of keys and the number of octaves visible by tapping on the Keyboard Buttons.

Velocity can also be controlled with a dedicated control button on the Keyboard. Also, a particular Keyboard setup can be saved which can then be accessed from a custom category.

Drums

There are options to choose between different types of acoustic as well as electronic drum-sets. The drum output is totally touch-dependent, the harder you hit, the louder it gets. Some parts of drum set like hi-hat and snare drum will also produce different sound depending on the area you touch.

A repeating pattern can be activated by pressing and holding on two drums simultaneously, you can then move your fingers apart for an increased tempo or vice versa. In addition, swipes across the vertical plane of your iPad screen will increase or decrease the volume.

Bass Parts

Electric, acoustic or synth bass sounds are at your disposal in GarageBand with just a single tap. You can simply use Smart Bass instrument to try all the variations or you can choose the Keyboard instrument and then select one of the Synth Bass Sounds.

Smart Strings

A lot of effects and repercussions can be added to Smart Strings that will enhance your overall guitar experience on GarageBand for iPad. A single chord can be played in various inversions with just a tap on each section of the chord strip. Plucked sound can be made by releasing your finger off the string and not by simply tapping it. A sustained chord can be played by sliding your fingers back and forth on the chord strip.

Individual notes can be played in notes mode by plucking on the fretboard. This will play back notes with an arco effect (bowed), but you can also play pizzicato (plucked) notes by holding one finger on the Articulation button on the left while you tap the string briefly.

Jamming in GarageBand for iPad

You can connect up to 3 iDevices with GarageBand over a Wi-fi or Bluetooth connection to participate in and create jam sessions. You can designate a particular iPad as Bandleader who has the ability to control playback and recording. Rest of the members of your jamming group can share settings or record all parts on a device.

RECORDING A SONG IN GARAGEBAND FOR IPAD | STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL

To record a song and then add other parameters to your song follow instructions listed below:

Step 1. Open the GarageBand from your iPad and then navigate to and tap on + sign located near the top left corner of the screen.

Step 2. From the menu that now pops up, Tap on ‘New Song’

Step 3.  You will then be presented with various instruments to choose from as your first recording instrument. You can swipe across the options and select any instrument of your choice by tapping on it.

Step 5. If the need arises, you can also create custom chords.

Setting up Song Parameters

You can set up various song parameters like metronome, tempo, count-in, Key and time signature from the Song setting tab. Song Settings can be reached by tapping on Song Settings icon, which looks like a Wrench, once in the menu, various parameters listed above can be individually optimized.

Song Sections

Making sections of your song will help you to copy-paste or move around certain sections like intro, verse, chorus etc., as you desire. Each of these sections is named with letters and by default, a song contains 8-bar repeating sections in GarageBand. You can then add more sections to the existing ones or adjust the length of sections already created. All this can be done by tapping on the Song Section Button located on the right edge of the ruler, as highlighted in the image below.

Altering the length of Song Section

You can alter the length of each section present or create by following the steps below:

Step 1. Tap on Song section button as highlighted in the image above.

Step 2. From the various Sections labeled as letters, Tap on, let’s say “Section A”.

Step 3. You can then either turn the automatic mode on, or you can change the number of bars by tapping on the arrows located next to manual. For faster bar increments, press-hold and swipe your finger vertically across the iPad screen. You can set any value to the Bar, but it should be noted that overall, the total number of Bars allowed in a complete song is 320, so work accordingly.

Recording a Smart Instrument, Guitar Amp or Audio Recorder

To record an instrument part in Garageband for iPad follow these easy steps:

Step 1. First of all, make sure you are in Instrument view and not in Track view, then choose and tap the instrument you want to record.

Step 2. The Playhead can then be used to mark the starting point of recording. You can rewind to move it to start or tap on the ruler to choose a specific bar/beat.

Step 3. Once you are satisfied with every aspect, hit Record.

Step 4. Play the first section of the song and tap Stop when you are done. You can save yourself some time and effort if the section you recorded is a repeated riff or ostinato as you can loop or copy/paste it as much as you like.

Step 5. You can listen to the recorded section by moving the PlayHead to start of the section and if you don’t like what you hear, you can always tap Undo.

Recording for New Section

You can either add another instrument to the same section like above or you can choose to record new pattern in the next section. While the former can be done exactly like instructed in above section, for the latter you should follow the below steps:

Step 1. Tap on Song Section Button.

Step 2. From the tiny windows that pops-up, Tap on Add button. This will add Section B to your Song.

Step 3. Just next to Section B, you will notice a Blue arrow, Tap on it to set the bar limit manually.

Step 4. To save and close Section controls, tap anywhere on the Tracks View.

Step 5. You are now ready to record the same instrument with a different pattern in Section B.

Tip: To move between different sections of the song, you can swipe left/right across the horizontal axis of Track View.

RECORDING DRUMS

There are two major ways you can utilize in Garageband for iPad to record Drum parts. There is an easy way, where you can just use Smart Drum to record default drum parts, or you can try the complex method in which you can record each drum part separately and then layer it with more parts.

Method 1: The Easy Way

Step 1. Simply tap on the Track Button and select Smart Drums from instruments.

Step 2. You can then choose the type of drum you want to use. Like Acoustic or Electronic.

Step 3. Drag the elements of the kit on the grid to set up Beat.

Step 4. Now, move the playhead to the desired bar, hit record, do nothing and finally Tap Stop when recording completes.

Method 2. The ‘HighWay’

To develop grove and customize Drum/beat effects, you can record each part of the kit like, bass drum first, then hi-hat, then snare separately and layer them together for a more expert drum profile.

Step 1. Select the instrument in track header area.

Step 2. Tap on Mixer Button and check if the Merge button is ON. It is usually turned ON for drums by default, but if it isn’t, do it now.

Step 3. Optimize your Quantization settings by Tapping on Quantize Button.

Step 4. To record the first part of Drums, Tap Record, when you are done, move the PlayHead back to the start of the section and Record another part.

Step 5. Repeat the process until everything is recorded and then Tap Done.

EDITING IN GARAGEBAND FOR IPAD

To begin editing your songs in Garageband, you should at first have some working knowledge about certain important parameters. The most important of these parameters being, Track regions. Simply put, track regions are specific sections that automatically build in Track view as you finish recording a song. There are three types of Track region, each highlighted in 3 different colors:

• Green regions represent Touch Instrument Recordings.
• Purple regions show record parts from Guitar Amp or Audio Recorder.
• Blue Regions represent the mundane but useful Apple loops.

Now that you know what a track region means, you are ready to Edit each of them gradually as much as you please. To do so:

Step 1. Tap a single region in Track View. You can also select multiple regions by Tapping and holding on any single region, and then as you constantly press on the section, you can use subsequent finger taps to select other regions.

Step 2. To use the selected region as a loop throughout the length of the song, you will have to Tap again after you select the specific region. When you do so, an Edit Menu will appear, from the Menu simply Tap Loop. You can then shorten or lengthen the Loop by tapping the Region and bringing close or far the ends of it.

Step 3. To copy and paste a specific region anywhere in your Track, simply Tap-select the desired section. Tap again to bring forward the Edit Menu and choose Copy from the drop-down box.

Step 4. Now navigate the Playhead to the start of destination bar, double tap the empty space and choose Paste from the Menu.

Step 5. You can use the same double Tap menu and Tap-hold method to cut, delete, Join or split regions respectively.

After you are done fiddling with regions you can dive deeper into editing by modifying, editing and polishing every single note (Except Drums). To do this, you will first need access to Editor, this can be done by double tapping on a region and once the Edit menu appears, you can swipe a finger upwards or downwards to enter into Note editing Mode. After you are in, there are a lot of things you can do in editor mode ranging from viewing different parts to changing even the pitch of every note. Just swipe up and down, right and left, Pinch zoom, go crazy, explore every option and try every possible gesture and you will be a pro before you know it. Just make sure to Tap Done when you are done with this sorcery.

Quite obvious to state at this point, GarageBand for iPad is a fully loaded and studio-quality music App and there are a plethora of features, tools, Tweaks, and tips that cannot be explored in just one post. We tried to help and provide as much as we could in a single post. We can and will surely provide more information and tutorials in subsequent posts, only if there is an appreciable response. But before we wrap up this extensive iPad GarageBand Tutorial there are a final few instructions that will help you to get your created music off of iPad, into your Personal devices and maybe even to millions out there via iTunes.

SHARING CREATED FILES FROM GARAGEBAND.

Step 1. Return to the Main Menu by tapping on the My Songs Button.

Step 2. Tap and hold one of the Song icons, this will trigger a ‘wobble’ and almost everything on your iPad, including the icons, will start jiggling. Except, a few new buttons near the top left the corner, and that’s where you’re headed.

Step 3. Tap on the Curved Arrow button, which in fact is your Share button.

Step 4. You can now use various options to share your Music. You can either upload it to Facebook, Youtube, SoundCloud or iMovie(If you have installed it already.). The better way to do it is by email or iTunes.

SHARE, EXPORT OR IMPORT TO ITUNES

This final tutorial will help you to access your GarageBand for iPad files from your Mac or PC iTunes. There are two main ways to do this:

1. iTunes: Simply choosing iTunes from the Two options that show up will actually convert your Track into an audio format, which can then be played in iTunes or any other music player. You can however further edit this single-layered track with software like Mixcraft, Acid Music Studio, GarageBand, Logic, Pro Tools, and Audacity. But you will no longer have separate instrumental tracks like in GarageBand as all of them will be merged into one single audio file.

2. GarageBand: This option is particularly advantageous for users with Mac or a PC running desktop version of GarageBand. In contrast to the previous option, this method will actually preserve all the track layers and effects, to be further edited or enhanced on Desktop version of GarageBand.

After you decide and choose any of the options above, you can retrieve your file from your Desktop via iTunes by following the steps shown in the self-explanatory image added below.

Apple has always amazed geeks as well as stylists from the very beginning with every device launch. This can be attributed to their elegant design, unmatched engineering and the unique goal that Apple and its loyal customers believe in. Apple iPad is no exception and with each upgrade every year the technology is getting better and the sales are reaching even higher thresholds, breaking all the records set by every predecessor. So, in this post we have collected information on iPad Dimensions – Length, Width, Height and Weight of all iPad Models plus some facts as well, to actually help you differentiate between all these awesome gadgets.

 

iPad 1

The iPad was announced in 2012 on January 27 by the founder of the Apple Company Steve Jobs at a press conference at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. Due to the novelty of this device, people were extremely impressed and the sales proved this later on. A record braking 300,000 iPad’s were sold on the very first day. All in all, Apple sold more than 15 million first-generation iPad’s prior to the launch of the iPad 2. In March 2011 it was discontinued.

The first generation  iPad featured WIFI and had 9.7 inch multi-touch display(250 mm). This display had LED backlighting and scratch resistant coating and the resolution was set at 1024 x 768 pixels with 132ppi.

Weight:

-WiFi model: 1.5 lb (680 g)

– 3G model: 1.6 lb (730 g)

Dimensions: 9.56 x 7.47 x 0.528 inch (243 x 190 x 13.4 mm)

This first model runs iOS 5.1.1 and features a built-in lithium-ion-polymer battery. It is packed with 256 MB of RAM and is available with a choice of storage space ranging from 16, 32 to 64 GB. iPad 1 had also things like accelerometer, ambient light sensor and even magnetometer. Beside its display customers found keys such as home (main one), volume rocker and also rotation lock button pretty hard to press. This tablet was the reference in the whole industry and set the trend for years to come and still does via its new predecessors.

iPad 2

iPad 2 was presented also by Steve Jobs on 2^nd of March 2011. It is about 33% thinner than its predecessor and 15% lighter. Plus of course it has a better processor. Because the battery was so well made it remains unchanged. iPad 2 has a 9.7 in (250 mm) with LED technology plus fingerprint and scratch-resistant coating. It works at a resolution of 1024×768 pixels at 132 ppi giving you crisp clear images.

Weight:

-WiFi model: 1.325 lb (601 g)

-3G model (AT & T type): 1.351 lb (613 g)

-CDMA model (Verizon type): 1.338 lb (607 g)

Dimensions: 9.5 x 7.31 x 0.346 in (240 x 186 x 8.8 mm)

From this model onward Apple has used iOS 6.1. Another novelty with this model was the introduction of front and back camera, meaning users can by now take advantage of different social applications such as Skype. Back camera shoots a 720p HD video with 30fps plus an in-built 5x  digita zoom. The front camera is a 0.3 MP VGA camera. Beside accelerometer, ambient light sensor, magnetometer Apple also introduced gyroscope to this device opening the way for a huge number of applications  and amazing games.

iPad 3

Apple announced its new iPad 3 on 7^th of March 7, 2012 this time by Apple CEO Tim Cook. This new iPad had a better processor (dual core Apple A5X) and more RAM memory (1024 Mb DDR II). With the iPad 3 was introduced New jaw dropping Retina Display with an  amazing 2,048 x 1,536 resolution at 264 ppi (over 50% more pixels than a standard 1,920  x 1,080 HDTV).

Weight:

-WiFi model: 1.44 lb (650 g)

-LTE model: 1.46 lb (660 g)

Dimensions: 9.5 x 7.31 x 0.37 in (240 x 186 x 9.4 mm)

This model features a better 1080p HD back camera with 5MP, 30fps and 5X digital zoom. Owners can now use iPad instead of a big digital camera to produce the same high quality pictures – this is yet another plus to the versatility of such kind of device. Front camera is the same as previous model (VGA, 0.3MP). For the first time in an iPad Apple introduced Bluetooth 4.0 thus enhancing its connectivity. Sadly though, on 23^rd of October 2012 exactly  its replacement, iPad 4 was announced.

iPad 4

The 4^th generation iPad was announced by Apple on October 23^rd 2012. It is the most recent in 9.7 inch iPad version. The display is also Retina with a huge resolution of 2048 x 536 pixels at 264 ppi. This new iPad retained the size 9.7 inches display size(250 mm) and also the LED back-lighting technology, plus fingerprint and scratch resistant coating. Random Access Memory is also the same: 1024 MB DDR II. The 4^th generation iPad has the fastest processor, called Apple A6X. CPU features a 1.4 GHz dual core.

On January 29, 2013, Apple announced iPad 4 with 128 GB of storage space – the biggest yet in an iPad (there are 3 other models available: 16, 32 and 64 GB storage space).

Weight:

-WiFi model: 1.44 lb (650 g)

-LTE model: 1.46 lb (660 g)

Dimensions: 9.5 x 7.31 x 0.37 in (240 x 186 x 9.4 mm)

In this model they also improved the front camera, taking it to an efficient 1.2 MP still, 720p video. Operating System remains the same though, iOS 6.1.

iPad mini

On 23^rd of October 2012, Apple announced a mildly controversial tablet, iPad Mini. While all the producers went for bigger size displays, Apple turned the game around and went smaller with this new device. The display of iPad Mini measures 7.9 inches (200 mm). It is also a multi-touch display using the same LED technology (the resolution is 1024 x 768 pixels at 163 ppi). But consumers appreciated this new device and sales went up. It seems the portability given by the size and weight of this tablet made it a winner among its mundane competitors.

Weight:

-WiFi model: 0.68 lb (310 g)

-LTE model: 0.69 lb (310 g)

Dimensions: 7.87 x 5.3 x 0.28 inch (200 x 130 x 7.1 mm)

iPad Mini uses the iOS 6.1 and the same type of built in lithium-ion polymer battery. This device is somehow similar to iPad 2 but is 53% lighter and thinner (7.1 mm vs. 8.8 mm)

iPad Mini 2 (Second Generation Mini or iPad Mini with Retina Display)

This iPad was released on November 12, 2013 and was a significant improvement over the previous iPad Mini, so much so that it was even compared with iPad Air in terms of its sheer performance. The iPad Mini 2 featured an A7 processor which made it much more powerful than its predecessor at a price tag that was about $100 less than the full-sized iPad.

Weight

Wi-Fi: 331 g (0.730 lb)

Wi-Fi + Cellular: 341 g (0.752 lb)

Dimensions: 7.9 x 5.30 x 0.30 inch (200 x 134.7 x 7.5 mm)

The main selling point of this iPad Mini 2 was its beautiful display with a 326 PPI as against the mundane 163 PPI of iPad Mini 1 which bumps up the resolution of the mini iPad from 768 x 1024 pixels to 1536 x 2048 pixels.

iPad Air (5^th Generation)

iPad Air was launched on November 1, 2013, and it combines the slim and trim design of iPad Mini and the massive power of full sized iPad into something that most people would recognize as the best handheld device. With its 64-Bit processor, the iPad Air crushed almost every benchmark and recognized itself as a clear update from the previous iPads.

Weight

Wi-Fi: 469 g (1.034 lb)

Wi-Fi + Cellular: 478 g (1.054 lb)

Dimensions: 9.4 x 6.67 x 0.30 inch (240 x 169.5 x 7.5 mm)

However, the thing that set this device apart from the earlier versions is its weight, which is much, much lower than the previous ones (0.44 pounds to be exact) and thus the name iPad Air.

iPad Mini 3 ( 3^rd Generation)

iPad Mini 3^rd generation was released on October 22, 2014, and this iPad Mini was a minor update from the previous iPad Mini 2, so much so that almost everything regarding design, display and even performance remains the same. The only update though is the Touch ID that was introduced into this iPad Mini through which you could unlock your iPad, apps and even make quick payments using Apply Pay with your fingerprints.

Weight

Wi-Fi: 331g (0.73 lb)

Wi-Fi + Cellular: 341 g (0.75 lb)

While having a Touch ID on your smartphone sounds more logical, considering you are going to use it a hundred times a day, having one on an iPad Mini seems nothing but superfluous, and certainly does not justify the price hike.

iPad Air 2 (6th Generation)

Released alongside iPad Mini 3 on October 22, 2014, this device was a big upgrade from the previous iPad Air, especially in terms of performance. Usually, with iPads, Apple included the latest hardware that powered latest iPhones, but with iPad Air first triple-core processor was used, making it significantly faster than the iPhone 6 and faster than the rest of iPads. On top of that, an extra 1GB of RAM was tossed in to help run more apps and games smoothly.

Weight:

Wi-Fi: 437 g (0.963 lb)

Wi-Fi + Cellular: 444 g (0.979 lb)

Dimensions: 9.4 in x 6.67 in x 0.24 inch (240 x 169.5 x 6.1 mm)

With Touch ID and an A8 Processor, the iPad Air 2 is ultra-thin, ultra-light, ultra-powerful and remains the best mid-sized Apple iPad till date.

iPad Mini 4 (4^th Generation Mini)

Revealed alongside iPad Pro on September 9, 2015, iPad Mini 4 necessitated the killing of the earlier iPad Mini 3 because it was so much better. This left users with a choice of either buying the cheaper iPad Mini with half the processing power or going for this iPad Mini 4 and getting access to the power of iPad Air on a smaller sized iPad.

Weight

Wi-Fi: 298.8 g (0.659 lb)

Wi-Fi + Cellular: 304 g (0.670 lb)

Dimensions: 8.00 x 5.31 x 0.24 inch (203.2 x 134.8 x 6.1 mm)

The bump in hardware with respect to RAM and processor certainly makes iPad Mini 4 a powerful little beast and also able to handle multitasking through the latest iOS.

12.9-inch iPad Pro (1st Generation)

iPad Pro is a device like no other iPad in particular and other tablets in general. With a humongous 12.9-inch display it easily eclipses iPad Air and makes iPad Mini look like an iPad Tiny. Besides having a beautiful and big display, this iPad also comes in with Apple’s latest A9X processor, which improves processing power by almost twice as much compared to the model in the iPad Air 2.

Weight

Wi-Fi:  713 g (1.5 lb)

Wi-Fi + Cellular: 723 g (1.57 lb)

Dimensions: 12.04 x 8.69 x 0.27 inch (305.7 x 220.6 x 6.9 mm)

Besides having a big screen and powerful hardware, the iPad Pro also came in with support for Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard that accentuates its functionality allowing it even to give some laptops a tough time.

9.7-inch iPad Pro (1st Generation)

Released on March 31, 2016, this iPad Pro is not just a smaller version of 12.9-inch iPad Pro but packs in a bunch of features that make it a unique device in its right. Places, where this iPad beats the earlier version, include, but is not limited to a better display with a True Tone and decreased reflections bright light and a beautiful 12MP camera that is compatible with Live Photos.

Weight:

Wi-Fi:  436 g (0.96 lb)

Wi-Fi + Cellular: 448g (0.98 lb)

Dimensions: 9.4 x 6.6 x 0.24 inch

The 9.7-inch iPad Pro is also compatible with Apple pencil to help you draw fine and better while the smart keyboard functionality translates into enhanced productivity on the go.

The iPad 2017

While the world awaited the launch of iPad Air 3 or an iPad Pro update, Apple rolled out a much subtle device on March 24, 2017, and equally subtly named it The Apple iPad. This version is much like the Apple iPad Air 2 except for a few performance tweaks on the plus side and an added 0.05 inch thickness on the downside.

Weight:

Wi-Fi: 469 g (1.03 lb)

Wi-Fi + Cellular: 478 g (1.05 lb)

Dimensions: 9.4 x 6.6 x 0.29 inch (240 x 169.5 x 7.5 mm)

Although you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between an iPad Air and this one, the same definitely cannot be said for its price ($349).

10.5-inch iPad Pro (2017)

This iPad Pro punches in a 10.5-inch display while extending the length by only a mere ½ inch. This was achieved by a minimal bezel which essentially also makes it a beautiful gadget to look at. The device matches the 12.9-inch iPad Pro in power and performance while maintaining a slim profile.

Weight

Wi-Fi: 469 g (1.03 lb)

Wi-Fi + Cellular: 477 g (1.05 lb)

Dimensions: 9.8 x 6.8 x 0.24 Inch (250.6 x 174.1 x 6.1 mm)

While this device is powerful and all, we would recommend you do your thorough research before dropping a whopping $649 on a tablet.

12.9-inch iPad Pro (2017)

The second generation iPad Pro adds the True Tone display that debuted in the 9.7-inch model to the bigger 12.9-inch model.   This gives the world’s best tablet compatibility with a theatrical wide color gambit, which will make movies and video look fantastic.  The new True Tone display also operates at 120 Hz to provide smoother graphical transitions and has a 12-megapixel back-facing camera.

Weight:

Wi-Fi: 677 g (1.49 lb)

Wi-Fi + Cellular: 692 g (1.53 lb)

Dimensions: 12 x 8.68 x 0.27 Inch (305.7 x 220.6 x 6.9 mm)

This iPad Pro will become the device it aspires to be when iOS 11 rolls into town. For now, it remains a beautifully designed compromise, meaning it still represents the 2-in-1 market’s struggle to define itself.
