Watch Apple's iPad Pro chew through Fortnite at 60fps
While you are correct about the 3.5mm analog audio output not being the best of the best, it is surprisingly a very high quality signal. Search for some lab tests if you have not already done so. The line output is very much useful and practical in real world professional situations.georgie01 said:
That’s kind of an amusing statement considering a 3.5mm plug is not ‘studio grade’ recording either. It’s prosumer at best. It’s unfortunate that expectations for audio quality have gone down so much that people perceive the lack of a 3.5mm jack a problem for ‘pros’.aaploutsider said:
I would think all of the above. 3.5mm plugs are ubiquitous. Lightning to 3.5mm cables are not. Having to remember to carry an adapter with your ubiquitous equipment is easily forgotten. Wireless fidelity isn't quite there yet for studio grade recording.randominternetperson said:
Serious question here: why can't you just use the Apple lightning headphone adapter? It is tying up the port or the sound quality or an objection to extra cords?SpamSandwich said:It’s a powerful iPad, no doubt. Speaking only for myself, the lack of a headphone jack to accept recording studio standard equipment killed the possibility of me buying one for now. I consider this exclusion a shortsighted decision. Surely no “pros” expected Apple to do that.

We have been down this road many times here. With only one port some kind of dock is required for audio pros to use the iPad in many ways that made an iPad worth using in the first place.randominternetperson said:

I don’t care about Fortnite in the slightest and I’m not going to spend about $2K for a new iPad that’s incompatible with most of my industry standard audio gear.
Apple sometimes leads in the wrong direction on product design, IMO. They’re not perfect and that’s OK.
Of course there are still many uses for the new iPad Pros and no doubt it is a powerful device. The weird thing is that it throws a real curveball to a large market for which a powerful tablet is an ideal piece of gear.

How to master Split View and Slide Over for iOS apps
Nice article. It really is worth a few minutes exploring these features. I remember stumbling onto split screen in Safari but could never repeat it. Now it is perfectly clear and simple.

Apple issues third developer betas for iOS 12, tvOS 12, watchOS 5 [u]
Yes but it was in ios11also on certain websites. I found that switching from landscape to portrait got everything in line.StrangeDays said:I'm running the public beta of iOS 12 on my iPad Pro, am having a little weirdness when trying to reply to posts on AI forums in Safari -- when the keyboard slides up the web content above it fails to slide up, so the keyboard covers the text input box and you can't see what you're typing. Anybody else see this?
