Facts. I had to scroll past 20 videos to find this specifi topic

Great video. Quick question: how do you do Continuity Camera on iPad for FaceTime calls? I thought that was only an iPhone feature. The screen you're showing at 7:35 only mentions Apple TV. I would love to know how it's done 😃

When you actually start trying to do this for any serious work you will quickly become frustrated by all the obstacles the ipad imposes. Eventually you stop using it for work and relegate it to being a large phone. It just can't do many basic things, or it takes much longer to do them than on a Mac. I've given up with my ipad pro and am trying out the new surface pro with arm. It finally has decent performance unlike all previous surface devices i tried.

Always Better Creating , love it

Always! Thank you! Cheers

Now here’s a video i like. The real edge of apple products is the ecosystem and i want to se examples of more ways continuity features make for a great workflow. I do need to use PC for some of my work stuff so i use both a MacBook Air and a surface laptop together with my iPhone iPad/Magic keyboard/apple pencil and Apple Watch through the day, but i kind of end up with the same apps on my phone and iPad and think I’m not really getting the most out of it. Been looking for videos like this and hope i find more like this and not “i replaced my laptop with my iPad type videos cause for me that would never work…

Great to read this! I agree: 3 years back I tried living with the iPad only for budget reasons (and having an old work laptop) - but it’s definitely best as an additional or focused device for alternative use cases to a laptop. Cheers !

I swear that the iPad and MacBook is THE BEST tech combination to ever exist.

As a music major, iPad. But need the computer still and am trying to upgrade for the pro. But am waiting til the MacBook Pro m4. Getting air for now. I’m a techy now lol. Thank you for this video

Well designed to be together…. A big investment thou! :)

Very nice, brief summary of Sidecar and Universal Control. I use these only rarely, so it will be nice to have a resource I can quickly return to in order to refresh my memory the next time I need to use these features. Thanks!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much :)

4:13 that charging port is asking you to buy glasses 🤓😂 jk great video ❤ cheers!

An interesting video review would be what’s the best combo. Mini or iPad and MacBook air or pro iPad Air or iPad Pro and MacBook Air or pro

Awesome video! But a sidequestion, what brand and type of keyboard are you using? 🙂

Woop, a small bit of help perhaps. Haha

No offense, but if you really do coding, you will realize that SideCar needs to support portrait mode otherwise it can’t even show one function within the display. 13 inch iPad Pro is only as high as MBP 14.

@BetterCreating

Ah good point: and I definitely don’t code. Yeah, they should really support sidecar in portrait.

Hi, thanks for your vid. I’m thinking of getting a new Ipad (air), will it do the things in your video together with an imac 2021? Also, does the paperlike protect you from UV? Thanks again.

Nice. Yes, I’m sure the new iPad Air will do the stuff I’m doing here. Good question on paperlike and UV - just check their FAQS via the link :)

@@BetterCreating Thanks. To answer your question, I have both. An old Ipad to use anywhere and an IMac I hardly use because the subscription for Indesign/Photoshop is too expensive for me, a non professional designer 😢

So undecided at the moment. I like apple products for the longevity. An air might suit my needs, but the brightness for reading books in the sun, the camera to replace the scanner, and the M4 chip for future proofing and AI makes me think that's the better bet if I can afford it. But I do worry that my priority should be the laptop, as I still have an Intel Macbook Pro, and mac os sequoia seems really polished. The daft thing about the macs is M2 and upward are all about the same price, the only way to make a saving is to go for an m1 max which is a bit over £1000. Or do I just wait for the M4 to come to the laptop? It's so hard.

Hi Simon. I love your videos. It is very polite that you show us time marks in the beginning of your videos. But please: Put them in You Tube too. I don´t want to go back and search for the exact minute. 😄

Thanks! I do put these on KZread… pasting again in this comment for you: 🎥 VIDEO CHAPTERS: 00:00 Make The Most of iPad and Macbook: Better Together? 00:41 Using The iPad & Macbook Together: Universal Control, Sidecar & More 05:06 The Best Apps to Use With Apple iPad, Macbook & Apple Pencil 06:47 Quick Tips for Apple Pencil & iPad

Universal control is so unreliable, it seems to work for a while and then stops for no reason, then refuses to connect, then doesn't even give the option - I've spent weeks with Apple support, tried this on different networks, with wired ethernet, wireless, etc, it's just very glitchy - it may work for weeks, sometimes months and then just stops, the only solution is to log out of iCloud (which deletes everything including your wallet and cards) and logging back in. Have you experienced that at all?

0:06 what happened to your port?

I wish I could afford lol😝

some may think I'm trolling but I'm dead serious. The best way to increase your productivity is to get a PC.
