iPad External Monitor Support is HERE! 

What 32“ 4k monitor brand/model do you have? 😳

What apps do you use as an accountant?

I thought that an accountant might need full access to apps like Desktop Version of MS Excel which is sadly not available for iPad OS.

@@singhkrishanu yeah. Big problem for me. iPad excel is still missing way too many features.

@@StefanWolfrum probably samsung monitor m7?

That’s awesome!

Just realized that you can’t mirror the display and use the second display as the main one but you can just in settings under display and brightness turn off lock/unlock so that when you close the lid it stays on the display.

Yeah the audio in device is just the last connected device plugged in or paired. So if it isn’t what you want you have to either unplug it or power it off and then reconnect it.

Hello, I’m a M1 ipad pro user who is using it with the LG Ultrafine 5k monitor. I’m also very dissatisfied with the audio default settings you pointed out. 6:19 So I‘m trying to make an customized automation on my iPad, so I’m wondering if there‘s a shortcut that can load it as a variable whether the external monitor is connected or not. Then I will be able to automate my iPad so that I can choose whether listen to the sound with the AirPods or listen to the LG Ultrafine 5k monitor when an external monitor is connected to my iPad. (When it’s finished, I‘ll post it as a link in the comments.)

I guess the main issue is RAM as external monitor use requires Stage Manager and thus has to support 8 open apps simultaneously which might cause problems in edge cases on iOS devices with low amounts of memory. I think it’s highly likely there wouldn’t be a problem if you could use external monitors without stage manager or a “monitor only mode”/clamshell mode with stage manager. There’s pretty much only UX reasons why they don’t want to implement something like this, I’m pretty sure Craig Federighi pretty much outright stated so.

@@kekchanbiggestfan a 4gb ram laptop from 2015 can run many apps at the same time. its not hardware problem its the software.

Follow up answer to my question, I tried it and, yes, it indeed made my battery drain faster.

In another channel he used a 49" monitor just fine. He mentioned however that it only worked over Displayport.

My 21:9 works

I am beyond pissed at them I want like an official explanation the iPad Pro can handle it especially if the air models are the M1 chip is not that large of a leap at all

@@evanwilliams3088 unofficial explanation: pay more

Yeah that’s annoying. I just use mine for podcast and music because there has been Bluetooth delay issues with video in the past.

@@ChrisLawley True! So…..I found a work around ☺️ Unplug your Hub totally from iPad. Open up RU-vid on iPad and play….choose the HomePod, then, plug it back in and let it extend display, viola!!! Hope that helps 👍🏼

That’s too much of a hassle. I’ll file some feedback tomorrow on this.

I have the exact same issue with my Samsung ultra wide. I have to manually turn the display off. Let me know if you get an answer. I’ve googled forever trying to find an answer.

Yes you can!

Only if you are using heavy creative apps like Procreate or DaVinci Resolve. RAM won’t make a difference for external screen support.

@@ChrisLawley Thanks, that's helpful. My use case is more lightweight - productivity apps like Word, email, and zoom meetings. Might also try using the iPad for client Keynote/Figma presentations. Sounds like 8GB RAM should suffice... Great content btw, keep it coming.

I have the same issue…just set it up right now with the same set up as you. A real shame. C’est bien pénible!

Air is M1, not M2.

@@heySam514 wow thanks sooooooo much, I was afraid people weren’t gonna realize it was an error 🥴🥴. I can sleep at night again

It’s a photo I recently. Those wallpaper packs are from previous years and before I took this photo. It’ll be in my next pack. I need a few more photos before I release that one.

For your first question, all I can say is it does drain the battery (how long does it last? I cannot say, because I am always charging my iPad while using the external monitor, because the magic keyboard allows you to charge the iPad through the keyboard itself). But for your second question, there is a work around. Check my channel to find out how (its in my latest videos, and shorts, and you just need 40 seconds to find a workaround).

@@iPadChannel hello bro, a question unlike the iphone using the ipad charging doesn't harm the battery? I'm interested in buying the ipad pro to use it as the only laptop instead of the mac, but the battery is my big fear

@@franmottola_ Im not really an expert when it comes to battery life, but with my iPad 7 that I bought in 2020, I used it as my only computer for two years, and edited 67 videos and recorded over 100 songs with my guitar in addition to doing other things to help me with my daytime job (using reminders, photo editing, etc). When Im at the office (from 7am to 4pm) I do not charge my iPad. But when at home (or when I get home from work), here's what I do: if the battery falls below 50%, I charge and use the iPad while it is being charged. For example, I want to watch a movie or edit video when I get home, if the battery is already 50% or less, I charge the iPad while I use it. Then I will keep the iPad charging until it gets 100%. When the battery is full, but I still need to use the iPad, I still keep it charged even if it is already at 100%. Once Im finished using the iPad, then thats the only time I disconnect the charger. I've done this method for over 2 years, and the battery endurance of the iPad 7 is still great. With my new iPad Air 5, Im still doing the same. I recommend that you search on videos about maintaining battery health because there is a technical explanation on how to keep your rechargeable batteries last longer.

This one wasn’t cause I’m still learning it and need to get this video out on time. I’ll be editing in it more soon.
