You couldn't have looked very hard.

comp.mac.ipad
comp.mobile.ipad

Then there are dozens of Mac groups. Apple
people tend to use Apple, even so asking in
a MacOS group is more appropriate than a
Windows group.

If Newsgroupdirect doesn't have those then you
need a new usenet server. AIOE and eternal-september
are both free.
