Maximizing Battery Life on Your iPad
- Check Battery Health: Go to Settings > Battery to see which apps are draining your juice.
- Auto-Brightness: Keep this on to ensure your screen isn't unnecessarily bright in dim rooms.
- Low Power Mode: Use this when you hit 20% to stretch your usage until you reach a charger.
Using the iPad for Creative Projects
With the iPad Air M3, you can run Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro for iPad. The M-series chips provide enough "muscle" for 4K video editing and multi-track music production, making it a "laptop replacement" for many creatives.
Accessibility Features for Enhanced Usability

- Live Captions: Real-time captions for any audio, perfect for noisy environments or hard-of-hearing users.

- Find My: Always keep "Find My iPad" ON in your iCloud settings to track the device if it's misplaced.
- Lock Screen Privacy: Hide notification previews so your messages stay private when your iPad is on a desk.
Troubleshooting Common iPad Issues
- Outdated Models: Models like the iPad Air 2 are now outdated. They do not support the latest iPadOS 26 and cannot run modern banking or security apps.
- Replacement Model: We recommend upgrading to at least the iPad Air (5th Gen) or the iPad 10th Gen.
- Wi-Fi Dropping: If your connection is unstable, consider a Wifi Repeater for your home.
Conclusion: Making the Most of Your iPad Experience
