How do you manage the tablets on the walls all the time? Are they constantly connected to power, or do you have to take them down regularly to charge them?

Ideally, they are permanently connected. Wall socket > USB charger > hidden cable routing > neat appearance.



Looks good and can stay like that permanently. Here I used the Basalte Eve frame, a very nice solution:

Isn't the plug fixed on the Basalte ones? According to rumors, Apple will also soon switch to USB-C. After a few years at the latest, the mount will be waste. Or with the next generation, instead of 9.7 inches, it will be 10.3 inches or something else. These things really put me off. If I have to get up to go to the wall where the thing is hanging, I might as well go to the table where the thing is currently lying.

You obviously never had the part in your hand, did you?

There is nothing attached, you can even use the original Apple charging cable and therefore eventually also USB-C.

That’s why it was phrased as a question. Calm down, brown one... How about the size? Universal?

All good. I just have a latent half-knowledge allergy. Of course it's not universal, since it's made of metal and very, very slim. But it's available for almost every series. Luckily, the Apple devices have a pretty long lifespan and rarely change their shape within the series (iPad, iPad Air, iPad Pro, etc.) across generations. For just any Android tablet that stops receiving updates after six months, I definitely wouldn't spend the money. That's why this thing doesn't exist for Android either. That's the case with all permanently mounted displays. They are usually in central locations where you often pass by. And above all, they are not intended for constant use but rather for central functions. However, if you use a tablet for this purpose "like a tablet," it basically never lies where you currently need it or is empty. With small children in the house, it usually ends up in some drawer. Then you might as well forget about it. If I want to have the functions always nearby, I take my smartphone.
