FAQs

How do I know what size case to get for my iPad? ›

Measure the active screen of your iPad diagonally to determine which size case you'll need. If your screen measures 10.2", you'll want to purchase a 10.5″ case.

Touch and hold the item until it lifts up (if it's text, select it first). Drag it to another location within the app.

Measure from the screen's bottom left corner to its top right corner. Make sure you are measuring from the screen's corners rather than the iPad's outer corners. The ruler should be placed diagonally on the screen. On Apple's website the iPad screen size is measured in inches so make note of your measurement in inches.

Apple iPad Mini is best for seniors with visual impairments.

The device doesn't require the user to enter a password. It unlocks using a fingerprint placed against a button. The Apple iPad Mini can also be set up to speak the text that's displayed on-screen.

In fact, you may be surprised how many ways an older individual can use an iPad on a daily or weekly basis (and perhaps even more importantly, how easily many seniors adapt to using one). There are even accessibility functions that can help seniors with hearing issues, vision loss or blindness.

Assistive Access –– colloquially called “Senior Mode” –– is a new iOS feature that makes it easier for people to independently use an iPhone.

Accept Incoming Calls

Tap the green phone Answer button to pick up the call on your iPad and start talking. On your Mac, a small notification pops up alerting you to the incoming call. Click the Accept button to pick up the call on your computer.

Slide one finger up from the bottom edge of the screen until the Dock appears, then release. Touch and hold a second app in the Dock, then immediately drag it up out of the Dock. If you drag the app to the left or right edge of the screen, it appears in Split View with the current app.

Why won't my iPad let me drag and drop? ›

To solve this, you can go to iPad Settings - Accessibility - Touch - AssistiveTouch. Find Perform Touch Gestures and switch it off. Then you'll probably find Universal Control works properly. Hi Chris, I also met the same problem on my Macbook2018 and IpadPro 2021, it appeared since macos 12.3beta1.

Both iPads work as well as each other for simple tasks like web browsing, video streaming, or running casual apps. Even a graphics-heavy game like "Call of Duty: Mobile" runs well on the standard iPad. The iPad Air's superior processor becomes more useful for demanding workloads, like photo or video editing.

Aside from the size, the iPad comes with a familiar LED display, while the iPad Pro has a Retina display, as seen in the newer Macs and iPhones. The iPad Pro's lack of a physical home button allows it to have a larger screen than its 10.2-inch counterpart.

There are four sizes in the iPad product line: the 13” iPad Pro and iPad Air, the 11” iPad Pro and iPad Air; the 10.9″ iPad (10th generation); the 10.2″ iPad; and the 8.3” iPad mini. (Three sizes if you consider how close the 10th generation model is to the 11″ display.)

You see, the iPad Air 5 (2022) comes in only one size variant: 10.9-inch. However, rumors have it that the iPad Air 6 (2024) will come in two size variants: the 10.9-inch, and a new 12.9-inch model. As a result, the case for the iPad Air 5 (10.9-inch) would fit the iPad Air 6 (10.9-inch).

Choosing the right iPad size depends on your particular usage and your preferences. There isn't a one-size-fits-all approach in this case. You might prefer to get a bigger tablet for more power, like the iPad Pro, or sacrifice a bit of performance to comfortably carry the tablet around, like with the iPad mini.
