LORE | REKINDLED EPISODE 42 - TO THE RESCUE

Previous episode | Next episode

Y'all, this episode. Holy crap. I know it's not a very long one and not much in terms of plot happens compared to previous episodes, but it's one that I've been looking forward to for ages now because it gave me the opportunity to pay tribute to that original sequence in S1, a sequence that captivated so many fans and former fans of the comic such as myself (I had the final panel as my phone background for like 2 years LMAO). Being able to redraw that scene with our own twist on it was such an amazing process, made all the better by @banshriek's amazing contributions in the background art (seriously, the background art is CARRYING this episode, I'm so grateful and proud of their work and how much they've contributed to this little spite project).

What also helped immensely was our recent anon savior who provided us with so many brush names and design notes for how they're used in LO, we had waaay too much fun using these brushes every chance we got LOL and we're gonna continue to use them because goddamn they're beautiful. Buckle up because the new year is gonna be LIT (•̀⌄•́)

In other news, halfway through the production of this episode I finally replaced my PC drawing tablet! I'm still using my Huion Kamvas 22 Plus as a monitor, but in searching for a new screen tablet, I got cold feet and decided to settle for a cheaper desk tablet instead, a Huion Inspiroy Giano. So far it's great, it's a bit on the larger side which I didn't fully realize when I bought it, so it's taken quite a bit of adjusting (plus I haven't used a desk tablet as my main drawing tool in... geez, 8 years??) but it's like riding a bike, you never really forget LOL So yeah, it's gonna make my drawing workflow a lot faster and more efficient now that I don't have to rely purely on my iPad (goodbye touch screen mishaps, hello keyboard shortcuts!) so I'm hoping it'll show in the episodes to come!

Thank you all so much for reading ( ´ ∀ `)ノ～ ♡

Every older gen z has one boomer opinion that they feel so strongly about and mine is that children should not have access to a tablets until age 10, should have a flip phone from 10-12, and should only get a mobile phone 12+. The only screens allowed should be tvs and shit like DS’s. And even the gaming devices should be limited to an hour or two: I’m not a parent in this world blah blah blah. You’re only doing yourself a disservice by shoving an iPad in a kids face to shut them up. It will be way more of a headache when they get older and then it’s a lot harder to reverse. Older Gen z, people born like 2005 and before (as someone born in 2003) was that cut off of childhood without electronics. I had a DS around 7/8, a tablet at 10, a flip phone 10-11, and my first iPhone at 12 (which was unmonitored but probably should have been) and I’m so fucking thankful for that. Kids aren’t going to know how to entertain themselves in ten years without screens. Fuck I sound like a boomer but it’s genuinely concerning. And it’s pure laziness. I’m not saying it’s bad to once in a while give a kid an iPad to shut them up or letting them have an hour or two a day of screen time. That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about parents who have their kid on an iPad more than not. I can’t even imagine the damage it’s going to eyes and maybe even skin. I know my eyes got significantly worse after a few years of being chronically online and that wasn’t until I was 12. I’m a very pro technology pro internet person. I will argue for it till I’m blue in the face. But I’m pro internet pro technology for teens and adults. Kids in school now have significant speech delays because everyone wore masks when they were learning to speak and couldn’t see mouths to mimic. Kids are fucked. They’re already being set up to fail in the current circumstances, but letting an iPad parent them, never teaching patience and helping them to entertain themselves, you want your kid to fail. Once again, I don’t think it’s a bad thing when used sparingly. I think it can be beneficial when used right even. But that line between using it as a reward and using it as a replacement parent has gotten so thin that I honestly don’t blame parents who have lost sight of it. As upset as it makes me, there should also be recognition of how easy it is to fall in that trap. This is such a boomer rant and I’m not even sorry about it. I am unbelievably pro technology pro online pro phones pro internet, but for minds that have developed enough to have the ability to think. Kids can’t fucking think when they’re distracted like that. And it really is genuinely insane that my leap frog and DSI used sometimes at restaurants and on long road trips was the last semblance of an internetless childhood. I don’t want kids for many reasons, but one is that they’re being brought into a world that makes it so hard to successfully parent and for them to be successful. I think there are many places that have gotten so much better, but so much that has gotten so much worse. Like this. This is such a random ass rant that is crazy to have been written by someone who is 21. I promise a boomer didn’t steal my phone. I just have issues

[modawg]

random headcannons abt if the seven could infact have phones

simply what i think their phones would look like/be used for if they could have them as demigods

percy: bro would have a flip phone this is just fact i think he’d also have an iphone but he uses that more like you would an ipad he normally leaves it home unless he knows he’s going somewhere where he’s gonna wanna take pics or notes or smth

id say he and sally had matching flip phones for a while since their cheap sally prob got herself one pre gabe then scavenged her money together to get percy one before he went to his first boarding school and that’s what he’s grown up using

for one of his teen birthdays 14-16 sally got him a newer phone but he’s gotten so used to his trusty flip that he only uses the newer one for games and shit

his wall paper is probably a picture of a dinner with sally paul estelle annabeth and grover it’s very cute

annabeth: she didn’t have a phone for a long while and only ended up getting one from her dad when she started hanging out with them again he got it for her as a way to probably buy her affection he probably got it in like red or something thinking it was her fav color (maybe it was when she was like 5 but be fr) it’s prob like an iphone 8 or smth it was new at the time but old asf now

her phones decked out in camp crafts home made stickers etc etc and she changes her wall paper pretty often depending on her fav pictures she has abt 100000 .5 pics of percy it’s like her fav thing

she mostly just uses it to take pictures set reminders/timer and to look things up + keep in contact with sally and paul

she’s broken it like 6 times at this point but the hephaestus cabin keeps fixing it for her

piper: new new new girlies got the newest phone only bc her dad bought it for her she probably had a phase where she continuously shattered/broke her phone to get her dads attention and was forced to have a flip phone for a while but now that everything’s cooled down her phones the most pristine out of all the seven

her phone is fully decked out with a polaroid of her trio in the case stickers bangles the works it’s probably the best looking phone you could have and she loves it but she only started doing that post chb when she first came to camp her phone was default everything bc she kept getting it replaced

leo: leo either built his own version of a phone or somehow got one like 6 years ago and keeps adding stuff to it/changing things on it to keep it alive bc that thing is holding on for dear LIFE

the most JACKED phone out of everyone like you wouldn’t know he’s a son of hephaestus bc that bitch is wrecked it’s got a cracked screen is disgusting but works probably the smoothest out of everyone’s

he mostly uses it as an extension of his work to take pics of what he’s working on write notes and maybe use the calculator if he was a mortal the police would’ve been at his door like every other day bc of the shit he looks up

jason: he had a cj mandated pager lets be fr he didn’t get a phone until piper took him and hazel to get them ones and when he did get one it was a flip phone it’s sturdy low-key and gets the job done he also just gives me the vibe that he’s feel guilty if you spent more then 50$ on him

his phone also has some stickers including a little bangle of superman that piper made him get it also has a peice of tape on there with his name on it like you would the inside of a kids shirt incase he looses it

frank: he’s got a pretty new phone it was a gift from his gma but it’s locked up in a big fat otter case and he kinda hates using it so it’s default everything until hazel gets her own phone and he starts using it more

i feel like phones aren’t things many ppl have in camp jupiter so he kept that shit under his pillow so he didn’t draw more attention to himself

once he lets himself use it more his wallpapers probably a picture of hazel and percy making goofy faces and he probably has at least one sticker or bangle that matches hazels

hazel: hazel def has an ipod touch she probably traded in a chunk of gold for some cash and bought the cheapest thing but piper got her to at least get something with a screen

her phone case is probably just a white phone case with a bunch of pictures of horses on there and her wallpaper for like a year was just the first selfie she took with jason and piper post buying the phone

once she learns how to change her wall paper she changes it every other week to different random pics she takes

she has a really bad habit of butt dialling people

nico: bro doesn’t have a phone he just seems like the type to not give af abt that and only gets one when will forces him to but it’s forever the most default shit ever he maybe changes the wallpaper to a pic of will but that’s abt it prior to getting his own he was the kid who’d show up and immediately ask if you had games on ur phone for him to play

SPOILER: he does get jason’s flip phone when he dies and uses that for a while but he refuses to change anything about the phone and only uses it for emergencies

when he’s really sad he listens to jason’s voicemail on repeat “hello! you’ve reached jason grace im not available rn but i’ll call you back when i can thanks!..uh piper is it still recording-“

A ROUGH TIMELINE OF ALL MY DRAWING TABLETS:

(or at least the ones i can remember!)

1: Wacom Bamboo Tablet (~september 2010)

i asked for a drawing tablet for my birthday in 2010 SPECIFICALLY so i could use it to draw sparkledog wolf ocs on the chickensmoothie oekaki forums and this is the one i got

2: monoprice MP1060-HA60 drawing tablet (????like 2012? maybe?)

i very vividly remember owning this specific tablet in high school but i have no idea when i got it

3??? wacom intuos pen and touch small (?????)

IDK i remember owning this one too (i liked it bc the other end of the pen functioned as an eraser)

4??: wacom 13HD 2015 model? i think (2015-2016 or so)

i also don't remember exactly when i got this one just that it was a smaller cintiq model that didn't function as a small portable computer- it had to be hooked up to a pc or a laptop as a 2nd monitor using. the WORST cord system known to fucking man:

the cord that plugs into the tablet itself was soooooo fucking flimsy and if you bent it or moved it too much it would break. every single person i knew who owned one of these tablets ended up rigging their tablet cords with mass amounts of duct tape bc they only functioned at a specific angle and if you jiggled it just a little the tablet would turn off

5?: wacom intuos 3 4x6 (2016-2017)

i eventually gave up on my cintiq after the screen cracked and was without a tablet for awhile. my friend zoe lent me her old tablet for a few months while i searched for a new one

6: wacom intuos pen and pro medium (2017 or so)

this is the replacement tablet i ended up getting, idk i have nothing notable to say about this thing except for the fact that this cord ALSO ended up breaking on me too. this tablet however had bluetooth capabilities so it still worked fine, except for the fact that i had to remove and charge the battery every now and then using an external wall adapter

6: wacom intuos creative pen tablet small w/ bluetooth (2019?)

this is the tablet i used to complete all my assignments in senior year, and i still own it actually! (i named it Pistachio) this is probably the tablet i hold the most fondness towards bc it is so small and cute and handy

7: ipad pro 11" 2018 model (2019)

i still have and use this baby! it's my favorite drawing tablet i use for basically everything at this point because it is so portable and feels super nice to use

8: xp pen 15.6 pro (2020)

this one is currently the 2nd monitor on my desktop and i like it a lot! i do have a couple gripes with it (namely the fact that the pen wobbles a bit and the glossy screen causes a bit of friction and resistance when i use it) but overall i do enjoy it :] i love the shortcut buttons the most! the red ring is a dial that i have set to zoom in/out on my canvas in csp!

[thatonecatcat]

PLEEEASE DUDE, HOW DID U DO THE THING WITH THE APP/BAKGROUND THING????

for the customized app icons:

step 1: download shortcuts app

step 2: press the add new shortcut when entering the app

step 3: go to the bar of recomended shortcuts then press open app

step 4: tap on the highlighted word “app” in the added bar then choose the app you want to customize

step 5: tap on the square with arrow facing up thingy on the top right, then tap add to home screen

step 6: put in your name and the image you want it to replace. if you did to correctly, when you exit shortcuts you will see the icon with the name, or what it calls a bookmark

step 7: place the bookmark at the place you want it to be

step 8: press and hold on the normal app, and tap “remove app” then “remove from home screen” for full effect

youre done!

and, if you also mean the photos on the top and bottom left, those are called widgets! personally i use them to create slideshows. heres how i do it

step 1: press and hold on your home screen until the apps start jiggling

step 2: go to the top left, youll see a plus icon, tap that to go into the widgets menu

step 3: when youre in the menu already, you will see a ton of suggestions but personally, i choose pinterest

step 4: click the pinterest app on the side of the widget menu, then swipe till you find one that says “boards”

step 5: tap the board icon you want on your home menu

step 6: once its there, press and hold on the widget until you get the widget settings. then click on “edit widget”

step 7: tap on “board” then choose the pinterest board you want! i make certain boards for my widgets and you can do that too

step 8: if you want, you can edit when it changes, from hourly (every 1 hour) to daily (every 10~30 mins)

you’re done!

tip: to avoid confusion of a fellow ipad (user if you changed the app names like me) you can use a menu shortcut. here are the steps

step 1: do the same steps of the bookmark till step 2

step 2: search up menu, then click on “choose from menu”

step 3: once its in the bar, write down your question then the answers anyone can choose from

step 4: under each choice, put down “open app” and set an app for users to go to (no need to do the steps for the bookmark)

step 5: add some text or extra sound effects if you wanna!

and you’re done!

heres an example if you’re still confused

Exploring macOS: Hidden Features Every MacBook Pro Owner Should Know

MacBook Pro users often rely on their devices for productivity, creativity, and entertainment. While macOS is known for its user-friendly interface, it also houses a variety of lesser-known features that can significantly enhance your experience. From time-saving shortcuts to advanced customisation options, here’s a guide to hidden macOS features every MacBook Pro owner should explore.

1. Quick Look for Instant File Previews

Quick Look allows you to preview files without opening them in their respective apps. Simply select a file in Finder and press the spacebar. This works for images, PDFs, and even videos. You can navigate through multiple files using arrow keys while Quick Look is active.

How to Maximise It:

For more functionality, use Quick Look to add annotations to PDFs or trim video clips without launching Preview or iMovie.

2. Split View for Multitasking

Working on multiple tasks? Split View lets you use two apps side by side, boosting productivity. To activate it, click and hold the green full-screen button in the top-left corner of a window, then drag it to one side of the screen. Choose another app for the opposite side.

Why It’s Handy:

Ideal for comparing documents, referencing research while writing, or attending a video call alongside note-taking.

3. Spotlight Calculator and Conversions

Spotlight is more than just a search tool. Press Cmd + Space to open Spotlight, and you can perform quick calculations or unit conversions. For instance, type “50 GBP to USD” or “10 kg to pounds” for instant results.

Bonus Tip:

Spotlight can also search for specific file types or locations using terms like “kind” or “folder.”

4. Customisable Hot Corners

Hot Corners transform your screen corners into triggers for specific actions. Go to System Settings > Desktop & Dock > Hot Corners. Assign functions like starting a screensaver, locking your screen, or displaying your desktop.

Best Uses:

Set up Hot Corners for quick privacy during work or rapid access to mission-critical files.

5. Text Replacement for Faster Typing

If you frequently type the same phrases, macOS has a built-in text replacement feature. Navigate to System Settings > Keyboard > Text. Add shortcuts like “omw” to expand into “On my way!” or “sig” for your email signature.

Pro Tip:

Combine this with customised keyboard shortcuts for seamless writing across applications.

6. Universal Clipboard for Seamless Copy-Pasting

Copy text or images on your iPhone or iPad and paste them directly onto your MacBook Pro. Universal Clipboard works across devices signed into the same Apple ID with Bluetooth and WiFi enabled.

How It Enhances Workflow:

Perfect for transferring content quickly without emailing or using cloud services.

7. Automator for Task Automation

Automator helps you automate repetitive tasks, such as renaming large batches of files or converting image formats. Open Automator from the Applications folder, choose a workflow type, and drag the desired actions into the workflow panel.

Examples of Use:

Set up a workflow to resize images for specific project needs or create custom alerts for calendar events.

8. Screen Time for Mac

Screen Time isn’t just for mobile devices. On macOS, it helps monitor your app usage and set limits to avoid distractions. Find it in System Settings > Screen Time.

Stay Focused:

Create App Limits to restrict time on social media or set Downtime for uninterrupted work sessions.

9. Safari Reader Mode

For a distraction-free reading experience, Safari’s Reader Mode strips away ads and clutter from web articles. When you’re on a compatible webpage, click the Reader button in the address bar or press Cmd + Shift + R.

Additional Perks:

Customise Reader Mode by changing the text size, background colour, or font to suit your preferences.

10. Secure Notes with Passwords

The Notes app lets you lock sensitive information. Select a note, click the Lock button in the toolbar, and set a password. This ensures that private information stays protected.

Best Practice:

Use this for storing personal details, secure project notes, or financial information.

Final Thoughts

These hidden macOS features can transform your MacBook Pro experience, making your workflow more efficient and your tasks more manageable. Whether you’re a creative professional or a business user, mastering these tools can help you unlock the full potential of your device.

For those considering upgrading their setup temporarily or for specific projects, a MacBook Pro rental is an excellent way to experience the latest macOS features without committing to a purchase.

iOS 18.0.1 Jailbreak

If you're looking to unlock the full potential of your iPhone or iPad running iOS 18.0.1, you're in the right place. Jailbreaking your device opens up a world of possibilities, allowing you to install apps and tweaks unavailable on the official App Store. One of the best tools to achieve an iOS 18.0.1 Jailbreak is the InstantJB Tool, which simplifies the process and enables users to download Cydia effortlessly.

What is iOS 18.0.1 Jailbreak?

iOS 18.0.1 Jailbreak refers to removing Apple's software restrictions on devices running iOS 18.0.1. When you jailbreak your iPhone or iPad, you gain complete control over its operating system, allowing you to modify system files, install third-party applications, and customize your device in ways that are impossible with a standard iOS setup.

The main benefit of an iOS 18.0.1 Jailbreak is the ability to download and install Cydia, the go-to platform for downloading apps and tweaks unavailable on the App Store. With Cydia, users can personalize their devices to suit their unique preferences, from changing icons to installing advanced features that enhance their functionality.

Why Jailbreak iOS 18.0.1?

Apple's operating system is highly secure, which is excellent for protecting your data, but it also limits what you can do with your device. Here are a few key reasons why people choose to jailbreak their iPhones and iPads:

Custom Themes: iOS 18.0.1 Jailbreak allows you to apply custom themes that completely change the look of your device. You can replace the standard icons with your designs or download custom themes from Cydia.

Exclusive Apps: Jailbreaking enables you to install unavailable apps in the official App Store. These apps can add new features to your device that Apple's restrictions would typically block.

System Tweaks: From changing how your lock screen looks to adding new functionality to your control center, iOS 18.0.1 Jailbreak gives you complete control over your device's interface.

Removing Bloatware: Apple pre-installs apps that you may never use. Jailbreaking allows you to remove unwanted apps and free up storage space on your device.

iOS 18.0.1 Jailbreak: Is It Safe?

Jailbreaking has come a long way in terms of safety. The process used to be complex, but thanks to tools like InstantJB, it's now straightforward and safe. However, there are still risks involved. Here are a few considerations:

Security Risks: When you jailbreak your device, you bypass some of Apple's security features. This can make your device more vulnerable to malware or other security threats. Always download trusted tweaks and apps from reputable sources like Cydia.

Warranty: Jailbreaking your device can void your warranty. However, the jailbreak process is reversible. You can restore your device to its original state by updating it through iTunes or Finder, which reinstalls Apple's original software and removes the Jailbreak.

System Stability: Some users report that jailbreaking can cause their devices to run slower or encounter bugs. It's essential to install only the tweaks and apps that are necessary to avoid overloading the system.

How to Jailbreak iOS 18.0.1 with InstantJB

The InstantJB Tool is one of the easiest and most reliable ways to perform an iOS 18.0.1 Jailbreak. Here's a step-by-step guide on how you can jailbreak your device and download Cydia using InstantJB:

Visit the Official InstantJB Website: Head to the official InstantJB website at https://www.instantjb.com/cydia-ios-18-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-jailbreak.html. This is where you'll find the latest version of the tool for iOS 18.0.1 Jailbreak.

Download InstantJB: Follow the instructions on the website to download the InstantJB Tool. The process is simple and doesn't require any technical knowledge.

Install InstantJB on Your Device: Once downloaded, you can install the tool on your iPhone or iPad. InstantJB is compatible with a wide range of iOS devices, so this tool should work seamlessly whether you're using the latest iPhone or an older model.

Run the Jailbreak Process: After installing InstantJB, follow the on-screen instructions to start the jailbreak process. The tool will automatically take you through the steps needed to complete the iOS 18.0.1 Jailbreak.

Download Cydia: Once your device is successfully jailbroken, the InstantJB Tool will allow you to download and install Cydia. Cydia will open the door to thousands of third-party apps, tweaks, and themes.

The Benefits of Using InstantJB for iOS 18.0.1 Jailbreak

User-Friendly: The interface is simple and straightforward, making it easy for first-time jailbreakers to use.

Safe and Reliable: InstantJB is trusted by thousands of users worldwide. The tool has been tested extensively to ensure it is safe and reliable.

Cydia Installation: One of the best features of InstantJB is that it automatically installs Cydia after the jailbreak process. This means you don't need to go through additional steps to enjoy the benefits of a jailbroken device.

What to Do After Jailbreaking iOS 18.0.1

The possibilities are endless once you've jailbroken your device using InstantJB and installed Cydia. Here are some things you can do to make the most out of your iOS 18.0.1 Jailbreak:

Install Custom Themes: Personalize your device by installing custom themes from Cydia. You can change the icons, wallpapers, and even the overall appearance of your iPhone or iPad.

Add New Features: Many tweaks available on Cydia allow you to add new features to your device, such as multitasking enhancements, battery-saving tweaks, and much more.

Improve Performance: Jailbreaking can also help improve the performance of your device. For example, you can install tweaks that free up RAM, reduce battery drain, and enhance the speed of your iPhone or iPad.

Explore Third-Party Apps: The App Store has limitations on what developers can offer, but Cydia does not. You'll find apps that provide a wide range of functionality, from file management to advanced photo editing tools.

Final Thoughts on iOS 18.0.1 Jailbreak

The iOS 18.0.1 Jailbreak opens up a new world of customization and control for your device.

It's really weird watching tech die. My ipad of 6-8 (i dont remember) years is actively struggling both to charge (will just stop charging despite not being moved) and hold a charge (loses 20% in an hour) and I think i'm actually gonna be sad.

I never named it but that thing's my baby, it's got all the autodesk drawings, it's got all the tabs of thoughts i've long since forgotten, it's got a big screen that i can actually see things on, it's got weird built-in ad block despite me never once installing an ad blocker of any sort, it's got my minecraft worlds.

And like- yeah, i'm long overdue for replacing it with a proper laptop, but im gonna miss it and i don't want to see it die.

New iPad Mini 6 and Low-End iPad Model Launch Dates

The September 2021 sixth-generation iPad mini sports a bigger display, no Home button, A15 Bionic chip, and USB-C port.

The iPad mini has squared edges, an all-screen design, and a top power button Touch ID fingerprint scanner like the iPad Air. Volume buttons are on top and there’s no Smart Connector on the rear, unlike the iPad Air. Latest iPad mini lacks Touch ID Home button.

The iPad mini has 8.3-inch 2,266 by 1,488 Liquid Retina display. The display has True Tone, P3 broad colour, and 500 nits. A15 Bionic CPU makes the iPhone 13 80% faster than the iPad mini. Initial 5G iPad minis.

Added features include a 12MP Wide rear camera with ̒/1.8 aperture and a 12MP Ultra Wide front-facing camera with Centre Stage for video chats.

The sixth-generation iPad mini magnetically stores, pairs, and charges this second-generation Apple Pencil. The 10-hour battery life matches previous iPads. Space Grey, Pink, Starlight, and Purple iPad minis are available. The 64GB Wi-Fi-only iPad mini costs $499 and the 256GB $649. Cellular models cost $150 extra.

Mark Gurman of Bloomberg said in his Power On email today that new iPad models, including the iPad mini, would be available as early as late 2024.

Design

Apple dramatically altered the sixth-generation iPad mini to resemble an iPad Air. All-display iPad minis lack bezels and Touch ID Home buttons.

Reduced bezels make the iPad mini 6’s 8.3-inch display larger than the mini 5’s 7.9-inch. Touch ID is on the top power button because there is no Home button. The iPad mini 6 has flat, rounded display edges like the iPad Air, iPad Pro, and current iPhones. The iPad mini’s top and bottom are slimmer despite its narrow bezel.

The iPad mini measures 7.69 inches (195.4 mm) long, 5.3 inches (134.8 mm) wide, and 0.25 inches (6.3 mm) thick, but the iPad mini 6 eliminates the mini 5 headphone jack. Apple’s smallest tablet, the iPad mini, weights 293 grammes. Cellular versions feature more hardware and weigh a few grammes.

First iPad with top-mounted volume controls. Volume buttons are on top to permit a magnetic side connector for charging the second-generation Apple Pencil.

Landscape cellular iPad minis have a nano-SIM slot on the side, two speakers on top and bottom, and a microphone. One-lens rear camera. Space Grey, Pink, Purple, and Silver-Gold Starlight are iPad mini 6 hues.

Power TouchID

Touching the iPad mini’s top Touch ID power button detects your fingerprint like the mini 5’s Home button. Touch ID unlocks iPads, opens apps, uses Apple Pay, etc. On iPad mini 6, Touch ID works in portrait and landscape. The Touch ID power button activates Siri.

USB-C

Apple replaced the Lightning port with a bottom USB-C port to align the iPad mini with the Air and Pro. USB-C links the iPad mini to 4K and 5K TVs, cameras, and more. The right USB-C cable charges iPhones and Apple Watches at 5Gbps.

Display

The 8.3-inch, 2266×1488, 326-ppi iPad mini 6 display is laminated. Like the iPad Air, the iPad mini 6 offers True Tone and Wide Colour for vibrant colours.

True Tone matches display white balance to ambient lighting for eye comfort. The iPad mini’s display warms to avoid clashing with the room’s yellow lighting. The iPad mini 6 has 500 nits, 1.8% reflectivity, and antireflective coating. Every iPad has oleophobic fingerprint protection.

Apple Pencil

The second-generation Apple Pencil works with iPad mini 6, Air, and Pro. The magnetic strip on the iPad mini 6 charges the Apple Pencil 2.

A15 Bionic Chip

The iPhone 13’s 6-core A15 CPU runs at 2.9GHz on the iPad mini 6. Due to downclocking, iPad mini CPU is 2–8% slower than iPhone 13. Single-core and multi-core Geekbench scores for the iPad mini 6 average 1,595 and 4,540. Average iPhone 13 single-core and multi-core scores are 1,730 and 4,660.

Chip is stronger than iPad mini’s, slower than iPhone 13. One-core and multi-core performance are 40% and 70% quicker on the iPad mini 6 than the mini 5. 4-core and 5-core GPUs for A15 CPU. The iPad mini has the iPhone 13 Pro’s faster 5-core CPU. The iPad mini 6 has 80% quicker graphics.

A Brain Engine

Cinematic Mode and Smart HDR 3 use 15.8 trillion image signal processor operations per second from the A15’s 16-core Neural Engine.

RAM

The new iPad mini features 4GB RAM, up from 3GB. Its RAM matches iPad Air.

Space to Store

Base 64GB and 256GB iPad minis exist. None in 128GB.

Rear Camera

The iPad mini 6 features a 12-megapixel rear camera with /1.8 aperture, 5x digital zoom, 5-element lens, and quad-LED True Tone lighting. Camera is equivalent to iPad Air but not as advanced as iPhone 13 or iPad Pro.

Panorama, Burst Mode, Smart HDR 3, Live Photos, Focus Pixels, broad colour capture, auto photo stabilization, and more are supported. Slo-mo 120 or 240 fps and 4K 24, 25, 30, or 60 fps are supported. The iPad mini can capture 1080p at 30 or 60 fps with time-lapse, cinematic stabilization, and continuous focusing.

Camera facing front, centre stage

A front-facing FaceTime HD camera has /2.4 aperture and 122 degree field of view. FaceTime’s Centre Stage, debuted with the iPad Pro, works with the front camera.

Centre Stage frames FaceTime calls. Wide-angle front-facing camera shows more, while A15 keeps you in focus when moving.

When there are many calls, the camera zooms out for visibility and sound. Centre Stage works with Zoom and other video apps despite being FaceTime-designed.

Battery Life

The iPad mini 6 utilises its 19.3-watt-hour battery. The battery lasts 10 hours on WiFi and 9 hours on cellular for surfing and streaming video, according to Apple.

Connectivity

The iPad mini 6 supports 5G networks, although not the fastest mmWave networks like US 5G iPhones. It only operates on slower but more common Sub-6GHz networks.

The fastest 5G networks are mmWave, but they are short-range and can be blocked by buildings, trees, and other obstacles, thus they are only used in major cities, concerts, airports, and other busy areas.

Urban, suburban, and rural US and international areas use sub-6GHz 5G more. Due to its low availability, mmWave won’t be missed in most 5G networks.

WiFi and Bluetooth

Both Bluetooth 5.0 and 802.11ax WiFi 6 are supported on the iPad mini 6.

Other Features

The iPad mini has a barometer, ambient light sensor, accelerometer, and three-axis gyroscope.

Got my things stolen and can’t remember what model to replace my ipad from, it was Apple Pencil 1st gen compatible. Thank you wizard

(2016) iPad Pro 9.7” OR (2017) iPad Pro 10.5”

Below the cut are my opinions on a replacement iPad, the information i used to figure out what model you had, and also Apple’s weird rose gold phase. rip the rose gold colorway, 2015-2020

iPad shopping advice—

I do not recommend buying a refurbished 2016 iPad Pro, while not technically obsolete, iPadOS 16 is no longer receiving active support— security updates are still being pushed out but Apple tends to only provide those for another one or two years unless a zero-day vulnerability is found. (iPadOS 16’s active support expired a year ago, for further context)

I can’t in good faith recommend buying a refurbished 2017 iPad Pro, it currently operates on the latest OS (iPadOS 17), however that’s likely to be its last core update in its lifetime— it turns 7 years old this year (a typical lifespan for an iPad is 5-6 years), iPadOS 17 has less than a year of active support left with iOS & iPadOS 18 slated for September 2024… however, the prices look good if you can find one from a reliable seller.

I have two recommendations for replacement*

Refurbished** iPad Air (2020) 256gb

Runs iPadOS 17 and will be receiving core updates for another 2-3 years minimum

Support for up to 5 Gbps over USB-C support (which means support for external storage devices)

Support for the Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) and Apple Pencil (USB-C)***

Smaller bezels; the home button is removed and TouchID is on the power button

Support for a external mirrored display

Support for Wi-Fi 6 & Bluetooth 5.0

5G LTE support if you’re into that sort of thing (cellular models do cost extra)

iPad 10th Gen (2022) 256gb

Runs iPadOS 17 and will be receiving core updates for the next 4-5 years minimum

Support for USB-C with speeds of USB 2.0

Front-facing camera is horizontal (which is the reason for the next point)

Support for Apple Pencil (1st Gen w/ Adapter) or Apple Pencil (USB-C)***

Smaller bezels; bigger screen, TouchID on power button

Support for an external mirrored display

Wi-Fi 6 & Bluetooth 5.2 support

Cellular models equipped with 5G support

*Only if you need an iPad before March or April of this year. For the first time since 2010, Apple skipped a year in iPad refreshes. Mark Gurman predicts that new iPads will be released by the end of March. The 6th Gen iPad Air is rumored to be receiving a pretty large facelift— likely slashing the price of the 5th Gen Air. The iPad Air is widely considered to be the best price-to-performance option from the iPad family.

**I recommend checking out open box pricing for the latest generation iPads before making a decision. If possible, hit up a BestBuy or Microcenter so you can look at open box devices in person. Only buy refurbished devices from trusted sources; I recommend Amazon Refurbished or Geeksquad Refurbished.

***the Apple Pencil (USB-C) does not support pen pressure on any iPad model. The Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) is the most feature-rich model to date, read more here.

as both these iPads run the same processor, here are the benchmarks from CPU Monkey for the A10X Fusion (IPP2017) vs. A14 Bionic (IPA2020)

And the insane amount of information I know about Apple’s rose gold phase that led me to what iPad you have:

Apple introduced the rose gold colorway in 2015 with the launch of the iPhone 6s, and the phasing out started with the release of the iPhone 8 in 2017, replacing rose gold with just plain gold. That’s the timeframe for our rose gold iPad— and there were only six iPads launched between 2015-2017. This assumption is further supported by the launch of the Apple Pencil in late 2015 and the eventual launch of the the smaller 9.7” iPad Pro in 2016, which came in the standard space gray, silver, and gold, but was also released in one extra color: rose gold. The rose gold colorway in the iPad lineup was exclusive to the smaller IPP 1 & 2 until 2020 (see “Other Apple products…”). Additionally, the visible sides of the iPad suggest it’s from the “tapered unibody” MacBook era— specifically the “rounded edges” or “squircle” era, when all iPads fit awkwardly into folio cases if they weren’t made by Apple. The iPad that received a rose gold colorway in 2020 is of the “squared edges” era, thus ruling it out entirely.

Other Apple products that saw a brief rose gold colorway:

Retired from the Apple Watch lineup in 2017

Retired from the MacBook lineup in 2018

Retired from the iPhone lineup in 2017

Retired from the iPad Pro lineup in 2018

Added to the iPad Air lineup in 2020 and then immediately replaced by pink following the next release

Apple recently has introduced the pink colorway into its products as it delves more into the colorful side of tech again. Things you can buy in pink from Apple if you want to stay on theme:

iPhone 13, 15

iPhone 15 Plus

iPad 10th Gen (2022)

iPad Air (2022)

Apple Watch Series 9

MACBOOK SCREEN REPLACEMENTS

In this fast and furious world of technology, MacBook users may encounter various issues with their devices, and a common concern is the need for screen replacements. Whether due to accidental damage, hardware malfunctions, or aging components, understanding the process and options for MacBook screen replacements is crucial. This comprehensive guide will delve into the intricacies of MacBook screen replacements, covering everything from reasons for replacement to the types of screens available and the steps involved in the replacement process.

Understanding Common MacBook Screen Issues MacBook screens, like any display technology, can encounter various issues. Here are some common MacBook screen issues and potential solutions:

1.Dead Pixels:

● Issue: Dead pixels are individual pixels that do not display any color.

● Solution: Unfortunately, dead pixels cannot be repaired. If your MacBook is under warranty, you may be eligible for a replacement.

2.Screen Flickering:

● Issue: The screen may flicker intermittently.

● Solution: Check for software issues by restarting your MacBook. If the problem persists, update your macOS to the latest version. If the issue continues, it could be a hardware problem, and you may need to contact Apple Support.

3.Backlight Bleeding:

● Issue: Uneven illumination across the screen, often noticeable in dark environments.

● Solution: Backlight bleeding is a common issue with LCD screens. If it's severe, consider reaching out to Apple Support or an authorized service provider for a potential replacement.

4.Screen Artifacts or Glitches:

● Issue: Random artifacts or glitches on the screen.

● Solution: Restart your MacBook and check if the issue persists. If it does, it might be a hardware problem or a GPU issue. Consult Apple Support for assistance.

5.Vertical or Horizontal Lines:

● Issue: Lines appearing on the screen, either vertically or horizontally.

● Solution: Restart your MacBook and check for graphics driver updates. If the lines persist, it could be a hardware issue, and professional assistance may be required.

6.No Display:

● Issue: The screen remains black, and there's no display.

● Solution: Ensure that your MacBook is charged and attempt to reset the System Management Controller (SMC). If the problem persists, consult Apple Support for further troubleshooting.

7.Color Calibration Issues:

● Issue: Colors on the screen look off or inaccurate.

● Solution: Check your display settings and ensure that color calibration is correctly configured. You can use the built-in Display Calibrator Assistant on macOS.

8.Screen Burn-In:

● Issue: Persistent images or ghosting on the screen after prolonged display of static content.

● Solution: Modern MacBooks with LCD or OLED screens are less prone to burn-in. However, avoid displaying static images for extended periods. If you notice persistent ghosting, consult Apple Support.

9.External Display Issues:

● Issue: Problems with an external monitor connected to your MacBook.

● Solution: Ensure that your cables are securely connected. Check for macOS updates and try adjusting display settings. If the issue persists,

test the external monitor with another device to rule out hardware

problems.

If you experience persistent issues with your MacBook screen, especially if it's under warranty, it's advisable to contact Apple Support or visit an authorized service provider for professional assistance. Attempting to repair hardware issues on your own may void the warranty and could cause further damage.

Types of macbook screen

Here are some of the common types of MacBook screens:

1.Retina Display:

● Retina Display is Apple's high-resolution screen technology, designed to make pixels indistinguishable to the human eye at a typical viewing distance. Retina Displays are known for their sharpness and vibrant colors.

2.Liquid Retina Display:

● Introduced with the iPad Pro and later extended to some MacBook models, Liquid Retina Display is a variation of the Retina Display that incorporates advanced technologies to deliver high resolution and color accuracy.

3.ProMotion Display:

● ProMotion Display technology is typically associated with iPads, but it's worth mentioning as it may influence future MacBook displays. ProMotion allows for a higher refresh rate, providing smoother motion and responsiveness.

4.True Tone Display:

● True Tone is a feature that adjusts the color temperature of the display based on the ambient lighting conditions. This is intended to make the screen more comfortable to view in various environments.

5.Mini-LED Display:

● As of my last update, the MacBook Pro models introduced in 2021 featured a Mini-LED display in the larger 14-inch and 16-inch sizes. Mini-LED technology allows for more precise control of individual backlighting zones, enhancing contrast and dynamic range.

6.OLED Display (rumored):

● While OLED displays are not yet standard in MacBooks, there have been occasional rumors and speculations about Apple considering OLED technology for future MacBook models. However, it's essential to check the latest

announcements for any updates on this front.

Remember that specific MacBook models may have variations in screen size, resolution, and features. Always refer to the latest product specifications and announcements from Apple for the most accurate and current information.

The MacBook Screen Replacement Process

Replacing a MacBook screen is a delicate process that requires precision and technical expertise. While some users may opt for DIY solutions, it is often recommended to seek professional assistance to avoid further damage. The process typically involves removing the MacBook's casing, disconnecting internal components, detaching the damaged screen, and installing the new one. Technicians must exercise caution to prevent static electricity discharge and handle fragile components with care. DIY enthusiasts should consult detailed guides and videos, but success depends on the complexity of the model and the individual's technical proficiency

Conclusion

In the realm of MacBook screen replacements, a well-informed approach is paramount. Understanding the intricacies of screen technologies, accurately identifying issues, and making informed decisions regarding DIY or professional replacement are essential

steps. Choosing between OEM and aftermarket screens, ensuring compatibility, and considering warranty and support further contribute to a successful replacement experience.

While navigating the maze of MacBook screen replacements may seem daunting, armed with the knowledge provided in this guide, users can confidently address screen issues and breathe new life into their beloved MacBook laptops. Whether opting for a DIY approach or seeking professional assistance, the goal is to restore the brilliance of the MacBook display and continue enjoying the seamless user experience that Apple products are renowned for.

Navigating the World of Phone Repair: What You Need to Know

In our digitally-driven world, smartphones have become ubiquitous, essential for communication, work, and entertainment. But what happens when these vital devices malfunction or get damaged? Navigating the world of phone repair can be daunting, but with the right knowledge, you can make informed decisions to get your device back in top shape. Here’s what you need to know.
