I asked my boyfriend if he wanted to try something new in bed. He suggested sleeping with the lights off. Bold move, babe, but I was thinking more along the lines of a new position🍒

Just put in my order for the $349 model to update my five-six year old iPad. Yea for the price staying low.

Can’t believe they updated the air after just 1 year.

the storage is finally adequate but the A16 is binned. at least the bluetooth is slightly better. the ipad air is literally the chip only and nothing else whatsoever

The “Air” being bigger than the Pro is insane. lol. I wish Apple would simplify their iPad and iPhone lineup. iPad Mini, iPad, and iPad Pro is all we really need.

What’s really underwhelming is that it still doesn’t have ProMotion display, iPad Air has been stuck with that 60hz display since forever. The M3 processor is overkill and I’m typing this comment on my iPad Pro 10.5 which still feels fast after many years of use and abuse. The real deal is to buy older iPad Pro models.

I guess for me I did multiple abuse to this iPad seventh generation since I got it around October 27, 2020when I shipped it with iPadOS 14.1 but still still functions correctly I just have an updated to iPadOS 18 yet because I don’t know how that’s gonna go is because it’s still functioning correctly and iPadOS 17
