I’ve upgraded my new 26.7cm iPad Pro. The first thing that stood out as soon as I saw the screenful of apps was an unfamiliar unwanted “Stocks” app I certainly didn’t put there, so within a second I deleted that! The time isn’t where I’m used to seeing it, so I’ve got to get used to looking elsewhere for the time. The iPad camera still isn’t fixed – the shutter button is still on the incorrect side to be able to be used without also dropping the iPad, as both hands are now over there on the right side, one prodding and the other trying to grip the same edge, with all the remaining weight of the iPad slipping out of the grip as the button is pushed. I’m fed up with dropping the iPad this way – I’ve done it twice on my previous iPads, yet the camera is still misdesigned after so many years.

Did you know you can use the volume buttons rather than the shutter button?

No. That simply wasn’t apparent. I should have tried a few other random things to see if they fix other shortcomings, such as wearing stripey underpants, pointing the cactus in a certain way, and drawing three quarters of a circle on the second egg along in the fridge.

It’s the third egg, second egg DOES NOT fix the issue. I’ve written to Apple, waiting to hear back.

@LinearLineman Hold power button until you get the "slide to power off" option - then hold home button for 3-4 secs until it brings you back to home screen

I'm definitely upgrading, seems like there's nothing to fear with this one and the new AU ram limits will mean more stability hopefully

These limits only kick in for 4GB RAM devices from what I read. If apps developers start using it and open their music apps up to it. How will that effect the same app on 2GB device? I read Crydebyte article mentioning it.

Do you have a link to the article?

Edit: nevermind found it

Can you post the link?

It’s actually tweets / screenshots in earlier pages on this thread.

Thanks very much @Halftone

The new control centre swipe down from right top is actually a pretty considerable upgrade over the precious swipe up gesture, as we can now change screen brightness while staying on your current project screen, and previously we used to enter multitasking screen just to change the screen brightness. Although not intuitive initially i think it will become intuitive soon. I am glad the multitasking screen and control center has been made independent of each other!

Pretty bummed for the new keyboard though, gives me😂🤔🤷‍♂️🚒💕 smilies when i want numbers and signs.

That does not reset the ram. I’ve monitored this by using an app called iDoctor Pro. I don’t think it’s on AppStore, but you can find similar apps on AppStore. I can get as much as 900mb on my 1gig iPad Air & 3gigs free on my 4gig iPad Pros... while resetting by double press gains nothing. It’s better to power off and power on again so iOS comes in fresh...

Yes, in my experience this is much better. Before I tried it myself I had seen a couple of reviews from popular “influencers” that described it in less than flattering terms. Way off. I’m so done with reviewers and self professed power users.

That is my only complaint about 12, took me forever to get used to how they swapped those buttons on the keyboard.

LinearLineman

just bought a 90 day old Pro2. Will update to 12 shortly. Yay!
I love my headphone jack and home button!

Funking hate they have done this grrrr

LinearLineman

Thanks @chandroji. I already love it. Incredibly fast compared with my beloved ipad4. Now I am thinking of getting the Kawai VPC1. My Roland FA07 is just a 76 key controller keyboard now since I use iOS for everything. Going to probably trade it in for a real virtual piano feel.

Yes, so very annoying. Probably a strategic move to get people into emojis/animojis so that they can eventually sell 3rd party emoji packs and monetise them.

Sweet, you can install the Grammarly keyboard from the app store and get back the old layout.

Apple is so courageous. memojis are the future baby. our bright, beautiful future...

Is there an option to hide this crap? We’re not all 9 year olds.

I also got a kick out of the news this week: FaceID doesn't work with sunglasses... so Apple is working with sunglasses manufacturers to make new sunglasses that work with FaceID.

Don't think about it too much but apparently its not a FaceID problem... its that sunglasses are designed wrong...

Grammarly keyboard from the app store can restore the old layout. Just don't give it 'full access' of course.

For what its worth, I went ahead and updated on my 2015 iPad 12.9. The OS improvements seem negligible if even at all noticable. What did it for me is everyone talking about how multi-tasking AU resources seems to be improved quite a bit.

Just delete the Emoji keyboard in the keyboard settings.
