Apple Hardware and Compatible Accessories

Hi. I do not own an iPad, but I have had the chance to play with other people's iPads. Some of them have cases with lids and when you open the lids, the screen unlocks and when you close the lids, the screen locks. No need to press the lock button. How does this work and is there any cases like this for the iPhone and iPod? Thank you.

Good day,
I am in need of a case for my iPad 2018, which I believe measures 9.75 inches. The cases that I am considering are an Otterbox Defender case, and a Fintie Slimshell keyboard case. I'm in college, so I need something that will protect the iPad both inside my backpack and outside of it. Which of these 2 do you reccommend? Or do you have additional reccommendations?
Thank you so much.

Hi guys,
Just wondering if the iPad mini4 has 3D Touch? There is no information about it on the Apple website, so am guessing no. But just thought I would double check :)
Thanks :)

Dear Everyone!
After reading about the IPad OS, I would like to get my hand on the newly-released IPad mini 5. However, I still feel skeptical whether it is beneficial for visually-impaired people. I really appreciated if any one here give me advice. It is worth noting that I currently own an IPhone XS Max. Thank you!

Hi all, I am considering purchasing an iPad Mini to use for school. I heard of the iPad Camera Connection kit (I believe that's what it's called), and I was wondering which external devices can be used with it? I have a My Passport external harddrive, and I was wondering if there's any way that it can be used with an iPad via the camera connection kit? Is there a specific app that I have to download that would allow me to have access to the files on my harddrive via the iPad? Thank you in advance for your help! Kind regards, Siena.

Hi! So in light of Apple's announcements, i'd like to see what you all think. If you get a new iPad, will you go with the 2nd gen Mini or an Air? I have an iPad II that I'm considering upgrading. The Mini and the Air have the same internals; looks like the only difference is the screen size. I was originally considering a Mini because of the smaller screen being closer to my iphone and more portable, but now that decision is difficult. Existing iPad Owners: what do you think? Do you love the mini or full size iPad better? Or am I crazy and should just stick with my II? Never-had-an-iPad-ers?

Hi folks, the iPad mini is on some decent sales right now and I'm seriously considering one. I switched my phone to android a few years back, I think my last iOS version was 15.2 on an iPHone 8, but I really want the best of both worlds and have a few ipad mini specific questions.
1. Is it wide enough for comfortable Braille screen input in tabletop mode? I love BSI but wouldn't really want to use something bigger than a phone a lot in screen away mode.

I've an iPad mini 4 which works fine. I am working towards utilizing the iPad and iPhone more but am not planning to phase out my Mac so the Pro models are not in my future plans. However, the mini 5 has a faster chip.

Are there other factors that might make the mtnt 5 more attractive to me? I would like to hear from those who have used both.

Hello all,
I am considering purchasing a new iPad for college in August. I was wondering which one I should in fact purchase. They both seem to have the same memory capasity options, with only the cameras and retina display being different. I am totally blind, so I will not be viewing any photos. I will mostly be dealing with documents, for example, Pages, KeyNote, etc. Any recommendations would be helpful.
Thank you.

Hi all
Please let me know if the latest iPad Pro 11 will outperform the iPad Pro 9.7 gen1 in performing the following tasks:
1. Basic media production, not advanced stuff, only audio.
2. Reading and writing lengthy documents using Pages. I can feel really some performance issues with my iPad Pro 9.7 in reading and writing documents.
3. Intensive battery-drain tasks such as listening to audio books and media streaming.
4. Bluetooth lag in audio streaming to headset and braille display?
Thanks all

Hello. I have decided to buy a Ipad pro. my question is do you have listened to all Ipad pro models? if yes what model do have the best audio experience? Does the big Ipad pro have better audio/speakers then the other pros?
Best regards Kasper

Of course, the iPad will be cheaper, but the MacBook Pro is better in some aspects, but what is better, between the 11 inch and 40 between the 11 inch iPad Pro and 14 inch MacBook Pro or 12.9 inch iPad Pro and 16 inch MacBook Pro

Hi all,

I'm looking to purchase a high-spec tablet, or light laptop. I'm toying with a windows machine, but given that's way way off topic for Applevis, I'll confine myself here to a few questions about the iPad pro.

Essentially I want to know whether any of you are using it, which variant (9.7" or 12) you've gone with, and how you are finding it. any pros, any cons etc.

Hi all
What is the fastest iPad currently available for purchase? Also, will performance differ if I pick the iPad with larger storage? GPU performance does not matter.
Thanks.

Before I even get into this, I honestly have no idea what I'm asking. My TVI has a first grade student who is totally blind and only has use of one hand due to CP. She's looking for a way to use an iPad, but has had no success with braille displays because she can't move individual fingers, so she really needs something that's just a joy stick or arrow keys that will connect to an iPad. She mostly just needs a way to listen to class material right now because she can't read braille.

Hello, I am new to this forum and trying to find products to help my wife and daughter with low vision. There are many iPad "magnifier" apps out there. VisionAssist and Mag. Light Pro seem most helpful so far. To be really useful, it would be great to have some sort of stand or mount for the iPad with a built in light to illuminate the document. Ideally, the iPad would sit in this stand on a desk/table so hands can be free to magnify the image and move the document under neath. Surely this exists, but I can't seem to find it. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thank you!

Looking for an iPad stand for enlarging cookbooks, newspapers, etc. Something similar to HumanWare's iConnect which is very expensive and unnecessarily adds an unnecessary new computer to the household. Have tried the ScanJig but it's not a very stable device. Last postings on this topic seem to be from 2014 and 2015 so hoping there is something new out there that will help with this need. Have also searched online but so far no success. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hello, Can I use an iPad to open and work with txt files and use dictation and speech the same way as with MacBook Pro?
Thank you, Jorge
