Apple’s New 14-Inch iPad Ultra Things To Know

Ever since the craze of the iPad Pro enthralled the youth and aged alike, most techlicious people have been dreaming about the Apple iPad Ultra. According to reports, Apple is considering releasing an even more powerful iPad Pro tablet, which will also be significantly larger than recent 12.9-inch models. Dubbed the iPad Pro Max or the iPad Ultra, the tablet is rumoured to feature a 14.1-inch display and an Apple M3 Pro chipset. The device is thought to be the closest alternative to a MacBook yet, in part thanks to Apple porting many macOS features to iPadOS.

New Release in 2024 – Apple iPad Ultra & Upgraded Apple iPad Pro

Apparently, Apple is working towards releasing a third iPad Pro model that will be even larger than the current 12.9-inch edition. Reports say the company continues to develop a 14.1-inch version. Contrary to earlier leaks, this 14.1-inch model will house the Apple M3 Pro and not just the entry-level Apple M3.

Currently thought of as the Apple iPad Pro Max or the iPad Pro Ultra, the tablet is not expected to land until 2024. In principle, recent iPad Pro tablets could serve as effective MacBook replacements, but for iPadOS. The same leaker adds that Apple will seek to rectify these shortcomings by porting ‘many features from macOS’. Unfortunately, it remains to be seen what Apple has planned for future versions of iPadOS, other than making it work more like a conventional desktop operating system in docked mode.

Apple will hold off from delivering these major iPadOS changes until 2024. Purportedly, Final Cut Pro could be headed to Apple’s tablet OS next year, as well as dual 6K/60 Hz external display support. Logic Pro may not arrive for another year, though. As always, we would recommend exercising some scepticism over these rumours for now, given that some are over a year away. In the meantime, Apple is expected to introduce iPadOS 17 next month at WWDC 2023, which will run between June 5 and June 9.

Apple iPad Ultra – Specifications & Probable Release Date

According to a source, the Apple iPad Ultra is priced at Rs. 126,900 as the official launch price. This is of course subject to change as the official date of release is confirmed depending on external factors. Right now the official estimated date is said to be September 20, 2023 but sources have lobbied saying that the release will be somewhere in 2024 and definitely not in 2023.

Specifications –

Display: Of course, we start with the 16.0 inch (40.64 cm) OLED display with 257 pixels per inch (PPI).

Camera: The primary camera boasts 12MP + 12MP dual mode with the possibility of Autoflash and LED flash optimization.

Battery: The new Apple iPad Ultra will have a 12500 Li-polymer mAh battery with the option of fast charge.

Performance: In terms of performance there’s galore to celebrate as you get the Octa core (3.49 GHz, Quad core + 2.4 GHz, Quad core) processor with the Apple M2/M3 Chipset (M3 if some sources are to be believed) and 16GB RAM.

iPad Prices In The Market – How Top iPads Rank In The Indian Market?

The top iPads typically rank based on their features and specifications, as of my last update.

  1. iPad Pro: The Apple iPad Pro is Apple’s most advanced and powerful tablet. It is available in two sizes, 11-inch and 12.9-inch, and offers features like the A-series processor (the latest being the M1 chip), a high-refresh-rate ProMotion display, Face ID, and support for the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard. The iPad Pro is aimed at professionals and demanding users who require top-notch performance.
  2. iPad Air: The Apple iPad Air sits between the iPad Pro and the standard iPad in terms of features and pricing. It offers a balance between performance and affordability. The iPad Air features a powerful A-series chip (such as the A14 Bionic at the time of my knowledge cutoff), a laminated display, support for the Apple Pencil, and compatibility with the Magic Keyboard.
  3. iPad (standard model): Apple’s entry-level iPad is designed for everyday use and offers a more affordable option for casual users. It features a 10.2-inch Retina display, support for the Apple Pencil, and a relatively lower-priced A-series chip (e.g., A12 Bionic at the time of my knowledge cutoff). The standard iPad is suitable for general tasks like web browsing, media consumption, and light productivity.
  4. iPad mini: The iPad mini is the smallest tablet in Apple iPad’s latest lineup, featuring a compact 7.9-inch display. It offers portability and is often preferred by users who prioritise mobility.

iOS 17 – Everything You Need To Know From Release Date, Leaks, And More

When it comes to the sauciest and the juiciest gossip from the world of Apple and iPhones, there’s nothing bigger than an incoming iPhone operating system (iOS) or a new version’s release coming round the corner. The world of iOS and Apple in general is so specific with their updates, additions, and new versions that there’s an excitement within the Apple community and even outside where news portals are full of gossip, leaks, and whatnot! That is now the case as we draw closer to the release of iOS 17.

Source: MacRumors

But then how do you know what to believe and what not to believe? What are the trustworthy sources you can believe and which ones should be avoided completely? Well, for starters you can read this blog and find out the genuine news related to iOS 17. So let us begin!

First things first, what’s the iOS 17 Release Date in India?

iOS 17 Release Date

The iOS 17 release date was expected to be somewhere in the month of June after the WWDC conference gave us enough hints and now we know for sure that iOS 17 will be launched at the annual Worldwide Developer Conference from June 5 to June 9. This will be done via a special one-person event where a dignitary or Apple official, most probably Tim Cook, will come forward to release the new iOS 17.

Source: Digital Trends

Though iOS 17 beta access will roll-out immediately, believes iMore, it is said that the official version of the iOS 17 will only be available for users later this year in September. It is understood that the iOS 17 will roll-out only after the launch of the iPhone 15 series so that automatically means September.

iOS 17 Supported Devices

After the release date, the most worrisome piece of news for Apple users is to find out whether their older devices will be able to support the new iOS 17 update or will there be a pressure from Apple to get users to upgrade to newer models. Might work as a tactical move but might also fall flat considering how Apple moves from one flagship to the other in a matter of 365 days flat.

So if you’re worried about the iOS 17 supported device list, you should start by knowing that the iOS 17 will be readily available on the yesteryear iPhone 12 and 13 series and will function full-throttle in the flagship iPhone 14 series and the upcoming iPhone 15 series. We saw that Apple discontinued support for a few iPhones after the launch of iOS 16, namely the iPhone 6S and iPhone 7 series and it is believed that they might go a step further when they finally decide to launch iOS 17.

Source: Digital Trends

This might see Apple pull their support from the iPhone 8 or iPhone X series. Though Apple may pull away from all models with the A11 bionic chips, it may still be possible that they roll out the latest iPhone Operating System for these models.

iOS 17 Features (Probable)

According to sources, these are some of the reliable features that will most probably come out with the release of iOS 17. Some features might be subject to changes after Apple completes their trial, testing, and error tests in their bunkers. These are the iOS 17 features you can look forward to:

Side-Loading Third-Party Applications

Though this feature might be delayed in India, European and American users may get side-loading options for third-party applications like the Alt Store in iOS 17. This comes after European legislation made it mandatory for Apple to open their operating-systems to third-party applications.

VR Reality Pro Headset Support

Next up, it was rumoured that Apple’s VR Headset is prepping for a big launch, it is expected that Apple will provide support for its newest offering to gel well with the everpresent iPhones.

Third-Party Browsers

Apart from side-loading third-party applications, there’s more fun for third-party platforms as Bloomberg reports that Apple can remove the requirement for third-party browsers to use WebKit. Under the new mandate, Apple may very well remove this obligation to use WebKit.

CarPlay

The next generation Car-Play will likely be released in September as the iOS 17 will be rolled out. The 2023 update will allow Car-Play to provide multi-display support, instrument cluster integration (info on speed, fuel level, engine temperature, oil pressure, and other navigational features), and other widgets for Climate control, FM radio, etc.

Others Fixes and Updates

Goes without saying Apple will release updates for all the bugs and glitches that people experienced with iOS 16 and with these there will be a lot of optimizations that are being rumoured. You can look for other updates in your iPhone to know what to expect from the release of iOS 17.

There are other CarPlay updates, revamping of the Control Center, and other such additions that will be a part of iOS 17, reports MacRumors . You can stay tuned and continue to read our blogs for the latest updates, happenings, and announcements related to Apple and OnePlus.

Pro Tips to Fix iPad Pro Touch Screen Not Working/Unresponsive Issue

Apple iPads have long been the gold standard for tablets. Be it their standard iPad, iPad Mini, iPad Air or the focus of this article, which is iPad Pro, all are packed with ingenious craftsmanship and premium features that beat their competition in the respective price segments.

While the iPad Pro is known for a fantastic retina display and top of the line cameras, it is also prone to common issues like the iPad touch screen not working at times. A lot of users have faced this issue where the bottom of their iPad screen is not working properly and seems to be unresponsive to any kind of touch or other activity. In this blog, we’ll cover some useful tips which you can employ to fix the iPad Pro touch screen unresponsive issue on your own.

So, What Could Be the Cause Behind the Unresponsive Issue on Your iPad Pro?

While it can be a cause of concern to find your precious iPad not responding to any touches, don’t start panicking or send a scathing email to the Apple support service. What you should do instead is look for problems yourself that could be making your iPad Pro screen unresponsive.

There can be more than one reason behind the unresponsive touch issue. For instance, it could be due to the faulty screen guard or damaged screen. An issue with the touch IC of the motherboard or problem with the daughterboard in case you have a 12.9” 1st Gen iPad Pro could be the reason as well. That’s not all, even software related problems can cause the touch to be unresponsive at times.

Therefore, we are going to delve into the issue from various perspectives and offer solutions accordingly.

Force Restart/Hard Reset Your iPad Pro

Hard reset aka force restart can fix several common issues like the black screen of death, app crashing or even random screen freezing. That is the reason why we often mention it in our troubleshooting guides.

Guess what, we have included force restart in this guide as well. So, make sure to try it out first before moving onto other solutions.

Force Restart iPad Pro with Face ID: Press and quickly release the volume up button. Then, press and quickly release the volume down button. After that, press and hold the power button until the Apple logo shows up on the screen.

Force Restart iPad Pro with Home Button: Press and hold the home button and power button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo on the screen.

Once your iPad has rebooted, check out if the screen has started to behave normally. If it has, you are good to go.

Clean the Screen/Remove Screen Protector

If the force restart hasn’t fixed the unresponsive touch of your iPad Pro, simply try and clean the screen. Many times, dust and tiny particles of debris can pile up under the screen protector and become problematic. They not only make the screen sluggish, but also reduce the clarity.

So, ensure that the screen guard is free from any dust and smudge. If that doesn’t help, try removing the screen protector as it might also be creating a problem. Especially if the screen protector is cracked or coming off the edges after being in use for a long time. Furthermore, any improper contact between the actual screen and screen protector can also cause touch related issues.

Update the Unresponsive Screen/Delete the Unresponsive Apps and Reinstall Them

If your iPad Pro touch becomes unresponsive inside an app, chances are pretty high that the app might be at fault. And in this case, you should update the app to fix the issue. To do it, open the App Store on your iPad > Profile. Now, find the problematic app and update it as usual.

If the software update doesn’t sort out the sluggish Retina display of your iPad or if there is no update available for the specific app, try to delete the app and reinstall it. This way, you will be able to get rid of all the clutter related to the app and install the latest version of the same.

Turn on Touch Accommodations

One of the fixes that a lot of users have tried and were successful with is enabling Touch Accommodations in the settings. This seems to solve the random unresponsive touch screen issues in several iPad Pros. Here’s how you can do it for your device:

For iPadOS 13 or later: Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch Accommodations > and then turn on “Touch Accommodations”

For iPadOS 12 or earlier: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Touch Accommodations > and then turn on “Touch Accommodations”

No other steps are required and just turning on the feature can solve the issue, which makes it worth a try.

Update the Software

If the 12.9″ retina display still becomes unresponsive randomly, check if you are using the latest version of iOS/iPadOS on your device. The reason why we recommend you to go for the latest version of iOS/iPadOS is that Apple often releases software updates with several bug fixes and performance enhancements.

So, never fail to keep your iPad updated to the latest version. To do so, fire up the Settings app on your device and choose General. Now, select Software Update and then download/install the update.

Restore Your iPad Pro as New Using Finder/iTunes

In most cases, the software update should fix the unresponsive screen. However, if you are already at the latest available version or if you are facing the issue even after updating the device, you can try to restore your iPad Pro to factory defaults.

Bear in mind that it will delete all the existing data including apps and media. So, make sure you have fully backed up your iPad before going for this radical solution.

It’s worth keeping in mind that if you have a Mac running macOS Catalina, you will need to use Finder to restore your iPad. And if your Mac is running macOS Mojave or earlier or Windows PC, you need to use iTunes to restore the iPadOS device.

Simply connect your iPad Pro to your computer and launch iTunes/Finder. After that, select the device and hit Restore iPad. Then confirm that you want to restore the device.

No Respite Yet? Faulty Screen/Digitizer

If you have reached thus far, it’s time to look at the issue from the hardware perspective. Had it been related to software, the problem could have been resolved after the software update or the restore action.

There is a handy app called “Tool Checker” which works efficiently in identifying which section of the screen is unresponsive. As it’s available for free, you don’t need to spend any bucks to use it.

If the screen is not responding at specific points, it’s a clear indication that the display is at fault.

Contact iPad Repair Centre

Issues like the iPad Pro screen becoming unresponsive or the iPad touch screen not working when charging is quite common and is often discussed on various Apple forums online. Though the main cause behind the issue is yet to be found, it doesn’t mean that you can’t fix it.

While the above is a comprehensive list of remedies that you can perform yourself to fix your iPad Pro touch screen not working problem, you might need extra help at times. If the above hacks don’t work, then the problem most likely lies with the hardware and can be a cause for concern.

In that case, you should contact your nearest Apple Service Centre or a trusted repair centre like Rapid Repair to get your tablet looked at. The iPad Pro contains a motherboard as well as a daughterboard which increases its complexity. The component called Touch IC, present in the motherboard, is responsible for the touch functionality of the iPad and could be the main offender.

Luckily, Rapid Repair can sort it out for you, as a trusted service centre for Apple devices. We are known for our team of expert professionals who can fix your iPad Pro quickly and at an affordable price.

5 Tips to Stop Your iPad from Shutting Down Randomly

The Apple iPad may be one of the best tablets out there, but that does not mean it is devoid of issues. Rather, one of the most common problems that iPad users have to deal with is that of the tablet shutting down on its own. This can be one of the most frustrating things ever, more so when you are in the middle of doing something really interesting or important on the iPad.

That said, if your iPad reboots unexpectedly and you have no idea as to what is causing the issue, try out these 5 pro tips to stop your iPad from shutting down randomly.

Why Does the iPad Keep Shutting Down?

There could be multiple reasons why your iPad shuts down randomly. For instance, the problem could be due to a software bug, cluttered storage, or even a worn-out battery. So, we are going to look into each aspect and offer a viable solution accordingly with a view to fixing the issue.

Hard Reset Your iPad

This is often the first thing you should do when dealing with hardware or software issues in an iPad. This is how you can do a hard reset.

On iPad with Home Button: Press and hold on to the Sleep/Wake button and Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo on the screen.

On iPad without Home Button: Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Then, press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Now, hold down the Top button until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

Update your iPad

Updating your iPad to the latest version of iPadOS can also fix the problem. Since Apple often rolls out software updates with a ton of bug fixes and performance enhancements, there is a high possibility that updating the software may be able to fix the random rebooting of the iPad.

Over the Air Updates

  • For OTA updates, go to Settings >General > Software Update. If there is any update available, download and install it.

Update your iPad via Windows PC or Mac

Alternately, you can also update your iPhone using your Windows PC or Mac. Do note that if your Mac is running macOS Mojave or earlier or if you are using Windows PC, you will need to use iTunes to update your iPhone. However, if your Mac is running macOS Catalina or later, you will need to update your iPhone using Finder.

  • Connect your iPad with the PC/Mac.
  • Now, launch iTunes/Finder and then select your device.
  • Click on the Summary tab and then hit the Check for Update option.
  • If there is an update available, click on Download and Update option.

Recharge

The problem might also be due to the improper functioning of the battery and related software that could be preventing the iPad from running smoothly. The best way to rule out such a scenario is to drain the battery completely. After it has lost all its charge, here is what you need to do.

  • Plug the iPad to the mains. Remember to always use an original Apple charger.
  • See if the device is charging normally. Let it charge completely in one go.
  • However, if the iPad does not seem to be charging as it should be, there might be some issues with the charging cable or the mains.
  • Or if you are charging via a USB port on a PC, try a different slot.
  • Once it has acquired full charge, disconnect and check if it is still restarting automatically.

If the issue persists, you can try the solutions given below.

Declutter Your iPad

If your iPad still keeps turning off, declutter the storage. If you haven’t cleaned up the storage for a while, there is a good chance that it would be cluttered. The huge pileup of unnecessary files, app cache, redundant screenshots, and useless videos may have hogged up a ton of storage space. Not just that, even the useless apps may be creating problems and causing the iPad to shut down frequently.

To resolve the issue, navigate to the Settings app on your iPad > General > iPad Storage. Now, iPadOS will show you a breakdown of how the storage has been consumed by each category, like photos, apps, media, and messages. Once you get a clear picture of the storage consumption, remove all the unnecessary files to retrieve plenty of precious space. With uncluttered storage, the iPad might finally get the better of the unexpected rebooting issue.

Factory Restore

If everything else fails, it is time to restore your iPad. However, make sure you have taken a backup of your device before factory restoring it to minimise the chances of data loss.

  • Connect your iPad to the PC or Mac. As before, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on the PC or Mac (macOS Mojave or earlier). On Mac with macOS Catalina or later, make sure that the latest version of the macOS is running.
  • Go to iTunes/Finder and select your device.
  • Click on the Restore iPad option.
  • Follow on-screen instructions that appear.
  • When the process is complete, your iPad will be almost as good as new and will ensure there are no software or data corruption issues.
  • Remember to check if the iPad is functioning properly or if it is still shutting down on its own.

Contact the Pros

If none of the tricks mentioned above helps in troubleshooting the random rebooting problem of your iPad, there is a high chance that the problem is related to hardware. And in this scenario, you should contact iPad pros at the earliest.

With several years of expertise under our belt and backed by an experienced team of supertechies, Rapid Repair is a well-known Apple device repair centre. So, contact us to help you fix your iPad perfectly, professionally and affordably.

One of the most reliable ways to retrieve deleted iPhone/iPad messages is through the iCloud Backup. Yes, you read it right. If you had an iCloud backup before the accidental deletion of the messages then you can get them back with ease.

First, navigate to the Settings > Profile > iCloud > Manage Storage > Backups. Now, check the date of the iCloud backup to ensure you have the right back.

After that, head over to Settings > General > Reset. Now, tap on Erase All Content and Settings to wipe off all the existing data on your device.

Recover Deleted iOS/iPadOS Text Messages By Using Third-Party Data Recovery Software

Last but not least, you can recover deleted texts on your iPhone by using third-party data recovery software. Most of the time, a deleted message remains in the flash storage of the device until it is overwritten by new data. Hence, data recovery software can retrieve data.

Keep in mind that the iPhone/iPad data recovery software requires you to spend some bucks before being able to retrieve your lost data, including the text messages. Some of the tools that we have tried and found quite reliable are Tenoshare UltData, Wondershare Dr. Fone, and PhoneRescue.

Notably, most data recovery tools offer a free trial so that you can try them without having to dole out any money. And, if the freemium version lives up to your expectations, you may even upgrade to the premium version.

Bottom Line:

So, here are some viable ways to recover accidentally-deleted text messages on iOS or iPadOS. Now that you know how this hack works, make the most of it and never lose any important messages.

Based on several years of expertise in dealing with Apple devices at Rapid Repair, we can tell you that iTunes/iCloud backup often works in restoring the deleted data. That is why we always recommend our readers keep the latest backup of the device.

Though rarely, but still iPhone is not immune to hazards or sudden crashing that may result in data loss. Therefore, it is apt to go for the additional layer of safeguard in the form of a timely backup.

Retrieving deleted data seems quite straightforward when you have a backup. As for using third-party data recovery tools, you should try them as last resort. And that too after giving a close look at the freemium offerings.

iPad Battery Draining Too Fast? Here’s How You Can Prevent It

The iPad came to symbolise a new era of mobile computing. It forced users to look beyond the PC in a big way, and one reason for that is the excellent user-experience that the Apple tablet has to offer.

Unfortunately, that isn’t the case at all times as the iPad has been found to suffer from unexpected battery drain. This is the least desirable aspect of any device that boasts of mobility, and having to rush to the nearest charging outlet ever so often beats that very advantage.

Having said that, there are a number of ways battery life can be improved to ensure a more optimised experience with the iPad at all times.

Here are the ways battery life on the iPad can be improved.

1. Turn off or limit app getting refreshed in the background

This is a very convenient feature where all apps automatically download the data needed for them to remain updated at all times. Unfortunately, the convenience comes at the cost of battery drainage. So, the best thing to do here is to limit background refreshes to only essential apps.

  • To do this, go to Settings>General >Background App Refresh.
  • Turn off app refresh for each app that you think you can do without.

2. Limit apps accessing location services

Location service is a great feature that keeps a tab of exactly where you are located, and the various apps that use location data will provide you with information relevant to that location. Unfortunately, the feature is also a battery hog, and can drain the battery quickly if not used wisely.

So, here too, the best option will be to ensure only the apps that you need are granted location service permissions.

  • You can do that from Settings>Privacy>Location Services.
  • Manually select the apps that should have access to your location data.
  • Or, you can simply turn on Airplane Mode as this will turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and cellular functions at one go.

3. Limit app notifications

Notifications are a necessary evil. While it is a great feature to keep abreast of recent happenings or to be aware of the latest developments, companies often push out notifications to ensure they remain relevant to you.

Again, limiting notifications to just the essential apps is often the best solution.

  • To do so, turn to Settings>Notifications.
  • Select an App you want to turn off the notifications for.
  • Tap on the toggle switch for Allow Notifications to stop receiving alerts from that App.

4. Switch on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth only when needed

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are the sort of connectivity technologies that let you enjoy the portability that a mobile device like iPad stands for.

However, those can be a drain on your battery if kept on even when not needed.

As such, the best practice will be to switch them on only for the duration they are needed.

5. Limit exposure to too much heat or cold

Apple recommends using your iPad where the ambient temperature is between 0º and 35º Cas anything beyond those can affect the performance of the iPad on the whole, including the battery life of the device. In fact, the company specified optimum temperature for your iPad is between 16º and 23º C. So, if you are using your iPad outdoors, ensure that it isn’t exposed to direct sunlight. Similarly, it shouldn’t be exposed to direct heat sources during winters as well as that can limit battery performance.

6. Ensure your iPad is updated to the latest software

Companies constantly strive to provide its users with the best possible experience with their devices. One way of doing so is to make available software updates that improve performance, eradicate bugs and improve stability.

Make sure you are always updated as this is a proven method to make the most of the battery life.

To update to the latest software, go to Settings>General>Software Update. Also, ensure that all your Apps are also up to date after you have updated the iPad OS.

7. Keep off apps that drain battery

Some apps can be punishing on the battery. You can easily single out such apps from the Battery page under Settings that lists out the battery consumption of all the apps over the last 24 hours and the last seven days. If you think you can do without the apps that drain your device battery the most, it is time to get rid of those.

8. Use Fetch instead of Push when using Mail services

Mail settings can drain battery life quite fast, particularly when the push feature is enabled on your iPad. However, if you aren’t using the iPad as the primary device to keep a tab on your inbox, it is recommended you turn off the Push feature in favour of Fetch.

Here too, for maximum benefit, turn the Fetch feature to manual mode to save battery.

Here is how you do it: Go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Fetch New Data.

Here you will also have the option to have your mails fetched to your iCloud account as well as any other email account associated with the Mail app, besides choosing the frequency of fetching new mails as well.

Battery life has always been one of the star features of the iPad, reasons that also propelled it towards dizzying heights of success. However, there can be times when battery life gets affected adversely, leading to sub-par user experience. Following the above mentioned steps can go a long way in improving the battery life of your iPad. And in the future, if you required iPad battery replacement then must visit Rapid Repair.
