The issue with the keyboard bar at the bottom of the screen rather than displaying the keyboard has started creeping back in. There isn't any way I can see to turn it off. I’ve tried all the kluge suggestions on the internet, but it still comes back. This is another time wasting step which makes accomplishing even simple tasks like typing and editing text take longer.
In another note, there are quite a few user complaints about the new iPad Air 5 being very flimsy in construction. One post called it the iPad Tin Foil. |

Dunno how much merit there is to that as I don't own an Air 5. There was bend-gate on the 2018 iPad Pro 11 but that was pretty much overblown and a non-issue for most users. |

Interesting information about Studio Display (it has 64GB RAM & A13 Bionic processor!):
https://www.cultofmac.com/770270/stu...e%20newsletter It allows ‘Hey Siri’ to work on older Macs and I think Center Stage as well (because A13 is present). Presumably there is some flavor of iOS running on there. Will there be some way to install and run apps on it? What’s all that RAM for? One might hope for an XDR version in the future. I’m tempted. It would be nice to ‘double’ my iMac display with one that also would allow to select from its available reference modes (how are these different than iMac display Color Profiles?), with much better audio and camera.

Me either until the last couple of weeks with 15.3.1. I tried doing internet searches, but since I don’t even know what the feature is called, or if it is a feature, I can’t find any info on it.
ETA: I’ve only encountered this on my iPad Air 2020. I haven’t seen it on my iPad mini 5 or iPhone 13 Pro Max. Whenever it occurs, usually after touching inside an entry field, rather than the keyboard displaying this weird bar displays. It often takes several presses on it to get it to react and prompt me to open the keyboard. I wonder if it was a feature they experimented with in development, but later decide not to include.

It would be cool if you could just hook up a keyboard and pointing device and network interface and use it as a big iPad. |

Apple may have built more into it than they are discussing at the moment. Perhaps they didn’t get it completely finished FW wise, or perhaps they are waiting for the introduction of a future device. Unfortunately ut is out of my price range at the moment. |

I'm pretty sure that's a bug so you might want to report it to Apple when you take the screenshot. Are you using compact tabs by any chance? It kinda seems like it tried to show the address bar at the bottom ala-iPhone. |

No, I’m using the Separate Tab Bar option. It must be a weird bug. It only appears every once in a while now, although under 15.3.1 it appeared more often than the keyboard. I thought it was just another senseless design change.

Okay, I think I solved the reason why I was/am getting the weird keyboard bar at the bottom of the screen. I have my iPad Air 2020 in a Logitech Folio Touch iPad Keyboard Case with Trackpad and Smart Connector. I almost always have it folded back to use the iPad in tablet mode. It locks into place with a magnet. I opened it up into “laptop mode” a few minutes ago and guess what appeared. Yep, see screen captures! Good news is I’m not hallucinating after all.
![]() It only started happening under iPadOS 15.3.1. It is happening much less under 15.4. The magnet keeps the case locked tightly in the tablet mode, so I’m probably not just activating the keyboard case by accident. Maybe there is an issue with the iPad Air’s smart connector though, perhaps periodically sending the wrong message that the keyboard case has been activated (opened). Oh well I’ll report it and see if they respond. ETA: The keyboard case is connected via the iPad Air 2020 smart connector, not via BT. …… Last edited by OtinG; 03-23-2022 at 06:58 PM. |

Isn’t there a Logitech app for the keyboard? There is for my wife’s (BT) keyboard case for iPad. You need it to apply occasional firmware updates to the keyboard. I would report it to Logitech, too.
