So I'm def getting a Mac someday but I have an idea of since I own an iPad Pro why don't I try to use it like a PC like people say?
So I'm going to grab that new iPad Pro keyboard case tomorrow and push this thing to the limits.
The one hitch I have is that I need a case to hold it to take it with me everywhere. Anybody have any good ideas or videos on the subject?
Another question, I have heard I can use my phone to give a internet hotspot?
Can I do this with my iPad anywhere? Is this going to basically use the same data as if if I was using my phone or so much more it isn't worth it?
Thanks in advance.
You can use any iOS device that has a cellular connection (with SIM card and data plan) as a hotspot for any other device.
If it's within the Apple Device ecoysystem, your "cellular" device will just show up in your wireless networks (even though it's not acting as a hotspot yet) and you can activate its hotspot function straight from the "client" device.
If it's a Windows or Android device, you can turn on "personal hotspot" on your iOS device manually, and you'll just see the WiFi network on whatever client device in proximity.
It uses your iPhone's or iPad's data plan, yes. But it doesn't use "more" or "less" data than if your client device were to connect to the LTE network directly - i don't think there's any technical overhead.
Your "client" device does, however, consider itself to be connected to a WiFi network, so certain functions it doesn't (or doesn't automatically) do when on cellular, like updating apps, uploading your photos to iCloud, it might do when connected via another device's hotspot.
