I would be too. Why would you write another article after the app was taken down after the first time? The article is now useless because it doesn’t add any value to users, so it was all for nothing.

Because they wrote an article about it (again)

My iPad Air 3rd gen screen started malfunctioning, so in January 2022, I bought the iPad 9th gen because I didn’t want to part with my Logitech keyboard case.

The first thing I noticed was the screen’s reflectiveness. While a matte screen protector helps, it doesn’t completely replicate the antireflective screen of the Air 3. The difference is noticeable when the two iPads are side by side but it’s not a lot.

Another issue is that the screen protector isn’t as smooth as glass, so you can hear it when swiping in a quiet room. However, since I mostly use my Logitech keyboard with a trackpad, I rarely touch the screen. It’s not a major issue, but worth mentioning. There might be better screen protectors available.

Performance-wise, I did not notice any significant differences for my daily activities. However, my iPad has recently started slowing down and freezing when watching videos and using Safari after about 2.5 years. Backing up and restoring it has helped. Maybe you could try it, and see if it helps, if you haven’t already.

I chose the 9th gen primarily because it fits my existing case perfectly and has performed well for browsing and watching movies for over two years.

I would recommend the 9th gen as it will get longer OS updates compared to the iPad Air 3 and you can use your existing stand. But you might have to replace both in 2-3 years.

They probably don’t. Computer programming is now just called AI. Tired of seeing everything claimed to be run by AI.

I had a meeting with a sales guy today and he wouldn’t stop mentioning synergy 😂

How do you use it with that background? Too many colors.

It’s the worst site. Every time I need to scroll all the way to the bottom to click Accept. It’s like they made it that way on purpose.

I remember the days of the 100 SMS limits and wensites for texting. I had a second SIM card which I could switch to in case I went over the 100 SMS. Then I moved to the US and it was free SMS! WhatsApp was also $1 back then so people who just use the in-built messaging app if they didn’t have anyone residing outside the US. US is still ridiculously expensive for phone and data plans.

Yes. It was a new feature. You can turn it on under settings. Long press on the screen and edit the widgets and turn off notifications for the App Store!

This is brilliant!! I’m going to start doing this as well. Thanks.

I have learnt a lot of tricks just through comments here and on Reddit. You can change what the ‘Triple Click The Side Button’ does in a setting under Accessibility. I use it to toggle VoiceControl to control my phone while driving. There is a manual for every iOS version. Maybe all the tips and tricks are covered there.

Nope. The old one will just work on WiFi or hotspot if I’m away from home. But in my experience, I only needed my old phone at home to look up some message or a photo which doesn’t need WiFi. After a couple of weeks I just turned my old phone off.

Make sure WhatsApp backup is turned on. That’s one thing I always make sure is done as you’ll not be able to login to your old phone to get the chats

Backup to a laptop if you need to.

It will be stored on iCloud. You need to make sure iCloud setting is turned on.

I do this whenever I get a new iPhone. Backup the old phones and include all the apps to be safe. I set up my new phone as new and start using it and download apps when I need it. So I go from 150+ apps to only the default ones so it eliminates any app I barely used on my old phone. I carry my old phone with me for a few days just in case I need to access some app immediately but if you have unlimited data you wouldn’t need to do that.

You can have some apps and settings on iCloud which will get carried over - like Health, Fitness, Passwords etc.

They are some settings which don’t get carried over, like the mail app defaults to Archive on swipe and I need to change to Trash. You’ll anyway figure it out if you are used to one setting. If it’s not usable you can always install the backup. So far I don’t mind starting fresh.

You can add stuff to Grocery list in Reminders using Siri. Not sure if that works with Notes or if you use Siri for that purpose. I just add stuff when I’m cooking and see something run out.

That is so annoying. My challenge for this month is to walk 3 miles and was able to just swipe up to check the steps/distance. Now I need to swipe/scroll 4 times. I hate the Watch OS update.

Lol. We already started iPhone 16 predictions.

Get the battery replaced, because you probably need one, and do a Backup and Restore. Should fix all the issues. I had the X for 5 years and it works perfectly fine. I just upgraded because I wanted a new phone. If you don’t reinstall all the apps from backup it’s even better as you end up installing so many apps and barely use them.
