Question Apple Pencil connects separate strokes after lifting the tip, same issue on two iPads. Any ideas?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

5 Upvotes

I’m using an iPad Air 13-inch M4 with an Apple Pencil Pro. Sometimes, when I draw a stroke, lift the Pencil completely off the glass, and start another stroke, a straight line appears connecting them. Video attached.

It seems to happen when my palm is resting on the screen. I’ve reproduced it in Apple Notes, Procreate, and Sketchbook

Something else I’ve noticed in Notes: the Pencil’s hover shadow sometimes freezes at the previous position after I lift the tip. When I touch down elsewhere, the connecting line appears.

What I’ve tried:

  • Restarting the iPad.
  • Disabling finger painting in Procreate.
  • Disabling Pencil squeeze and double-tap.
  • Reset All Settings.
  • Testing while unplugged.

At the Apple Store, another Pencil reproduced the issue on my original iPad, while my Pencil seemed fine on their other devices. Amazon replaced the iPad, but the replacement has exactly the same issue. I did restore my previous setup onto it, though. Then I reset the all the settings and tried again. Still, the issue was there.

Has anyone experienced this or found a fix? Could it be a software or tracking issue, or an interaction I’m missing? I have another Genius Bar appointment, but would appreciate any ideas.

iPad Air M4 per foto editing?

2 Upvotes

Ciao a tutti! Vorrei un iPad Air M4 da utilizzare esclusivamente per modificare le mie foto in viaggio con Lightroom Mobile.
C’è qualcuno che lo usa per questo scopo? Come funziona Lightroom? Lo schermo ha colori abbastanza fedeli oppure è necessario calibrarlo?
So che non sarà come lavorare sul PC di casa, ma cerco una soluzione comoda da portare in viaggio.
Grazie a chi vorrà condividere la propria esperienza!

Question Do I need a keyboard case?

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

Hey guys! I’m getting a iPad Air as I start my masters degree and I’m unsure of whether I need to buy a keyboard case.

I have a laptop which I plan to do majority of my typing/writing on, but I’m not sure if having a keyboard case would be useful if I have my iPad on the go? When I look at TikTok for an answer it is mostly just ads for TikTok shop and ESR cases so not really giving an unbiased opinion.

Do you guys use your keyboards? Do you have any case recommendations? Let me know. Thanks!

Should I buy?

5 Upvotes

Hello.

I have been saving up money to buy my first ipad air (first apple product in general) . I'm just a bit torn on whether I should buy it now or should I wait a few more months.

Rumors say that m5 will be released on 2027​ buuutt with the current AI boom, I'm also scared that the prices will go up next year.

Any advice or suggestions? Please?

Edit: I'm not particularly fussy with speed performance. I'm not really interested with the M5 but want the M4. I just was hoping that it'll be cheaper IF the M5 releases.

Question JETech magnetic detachable case vs ESR Hybrid for the iPad Air 13": happy with it? Does it scratch the back?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm looking at the JETech magnetic detachable case (with pencil holder) for my iPad Air 13". The ESR Hybrid case looks almost the same in design and concept, so I'm trying to decide between them.

If you have either one:

  • Are you happy with it overall?
  • I've heard that the JETech can scratch the back of the iPad. Did you notice that, or is it a non-issue?
  • Is the ESR Hybrid better in quality, or is it basically the same for a higher price?

Thanks for any experience you can share!
