Hi there, a local store is selling the 2018 ipad wifi+cell/32g variant at 349€. Is there any downfalls from going last model? My last ipad was an air 2 (which i expect to have a better screen to the current cheap model) so i know how the basics work. I don't care about smart cases (i still have a old logitech bt keyboard that i bought for my mk1 ipad) or wireless charging.

Endless Mike posted:Technically it's the current iPad. It'll be faster than the Air 2, but yeah, the screen's not quite as good. I like mine fwiw, though I don't know if that's a good deal or not. Undiscounted price is 489€ so it's quite a jump Boris Galerkin posted:The only problem I see here is the 32GB size. Even with iCloud or Dropbox etc it’s gonna be a pain to micromanage. Any chance they have a 64GB one at a similar price? I survived with my ipad 1 and ipad 3 at the minimum flash quota(16g) so storage gymnastics don't scare me that much. Thanks everyone for the replies. SlowBloke fucked around with this message at 16:55 on Jun 8, 2019 |

I managed to snag the last unit present in the store...rose gold  The iPad is stupid fast compared to my old air 2 but the screen is not bad as I thought. Hopefully it won’t slow down to a crawl once iOS 13 goes GA

Can any beta 3 tester do me a solid and check how developed the files SMB feature is? If it works fine for connecting and browsing a nas, I might as well uninstall FileBrowser once iPadOS ships

I don't know if somebody else posted this problem in the last few pages but if you have issues enabling a bluetooth mouse with ipados 13.4 when having a keyboard already connected, i've found that disconnecting everything and connecting to the mouse first(and keyboard second) solved the issue. Mouse works fine afterwards, no need to turn anything on in accessibility. It's kinda puzzling how now that i've a mouse connected all the false touches, focusing at random and being unable to select a word magically solved themselves(and now works perfect like when I using a bloody ipad1)

Duckman2008 posted:Worth mentioning for screen on the base iPad is not as good as the Air or of course the Pro. Big reason it’s so cheap. I did the jump from a air 2 to a ipad 6 and maybe i'm getting blind but the screen isn't that worse(i honestly never really noticed the change). I do use it 99% indoors so maybe that's the reason.

frogbs posted:Is bluetooth mouse support on iPadOS finicky for anyone else? I'd say scrolling on my Logitech M720 Triathlon works about 50% of the time, which is super frustrating. I’m using a Microsoft designer mouse on my iPad 6 and it’s mostly ok, I get some missed scrolls but it’s usually the ui crapping out due to lack of resources.

Martytoof posted:I sometimes stream my iPad on discord by plugging it into my MBP and using QuickTime Player to do a screen recording then streaming that window. Why not having twitch capture the screen directly and cut the middleman? The iPad can encode the screen hardware accelerated and if link latency is an issue, connect a usb-c ethernet card.

Taima posted:The problem is, as long as a camera exists on the pro (a bad decision arguably and we can go into why it shouldn’t) the bump is just physics. Cameras need physical space to operate. It’s difficult for me to blame a consumer product for physics-based issues I think there is a Feynmann book on how Apple cannot make devices without bumps and are not allowed to make the phones/tablets a few millimeters thicker overall, with the resulting empty space inside used for stuff like heatsinks or batteries....

Taima posted:That's interesting, I don't suppose you know what book it is? You are off your rocker, the biggest ipad markets are education, point of sale and media consumption(all running on the lowest end ipad/ipad mini) where being thin is actually detrimental(as you will need to fit them in a shock/child/manchild proof case anyway, so who cares about cutting one extra millimeter) and cost is king. Clueless c-level that need an all apple ecosystem from iphone to apple chair wheels are a drop in the ocean. If i had to ask finance to buy all of our ipad users extra iphones rather than our stock androids due to the ipad "subpar" rear cam, it would incur an extra expense so big we might as well give them surface pros.

Taima posted:But if the camera on my iPad Pro fell off tomorrow, I wouldn't give a single poo poo. This sentence has always been said by people that never experienced an ipad 1. The lack of cameras cripple the device to a overglorified kindle/archos, jumping from a ipad 1 to ipad2 was night/day.

FCKGW posted:You don’t have to put a case on it, you can always just ignore the bump. Using a apple pencil with a naked ipad pro is annoying as it will be wobbly... That's my main crux with ipad pros, every now and then i keep my ipad naked (esp in the summer to slightly improve thermals) and having to get some spacers on the ipad to properly jot down stuff is some next gen cargo cult

Boris Galerkin posted:I could understand if xCloud was like Steam where you needed to buy each game you wanted to play, but isn't xCloud more like Netflix and/or Apple Arcade where you pay a subscription and can play everything in the catalog? There are two options, remote xbox streaming where you stream your game library(every installed digital or what game is in the disc tray) from your console or xcloud streaming where you stream whatever is currently on gamepass from a server in an azure DC. The former was never available for iOS, the latter had a very limited beta. SlowBloke fucked around with this message at 10:59 on Aug 10, 2020 |

Quick question, after upgrading to ios14 I don't see any 1440/2160p options on YouTube app on neither my XR nor my iPad 6th gen, is there any compatibility matrix to check? The codec is there on both devices(in safari experimental there is "WebRTC support for vp9" so I would guess it's supported).

Martytoof posted:I defend Apple on a lot of things, but removing functionality on a higher end (or any) product for no discernable reason just can’t be the hill I die on. I never used it but it literally costs them nothing to leave it in and if people don’t use it then they don’t use it. If I had to take a guess, apple started making the split screen keyboard less relevant in public docs the moment smart connector appeared, they want you to use a keyboard for landscape typing on newer models...

I'm going to go buy a new ipad in a few hours, the local tech shop is doing some offers on a base wifi ipad air 5th gen or ipad 9th. Is it that big of a jump to justify pretty much 2x the price?

101 posted:Honestly I'm always fascinated how corps come to certain decisions so OP is mentioning intune which until very recently had a sorta mediocre MacOS support(plus unless you use ADE/ABM you cannot do zerotouch deploys). We just deployed our first M1 macs and being finally able to zerotouch them(since we can't purchase direct from apple and our usual suppliers cannot do the proper ABM registration) makes it finally usable. I'm expecting similar feelings if they want to jump away.

Lol my choice of getting a heavily discounted ipad 9 a bit ago has been vindicated. The choice of using a dongle on the ipad10 rather than going pencil2 is idiotic, esp since the ipad9 is still in production if the point was expending pencil1 stocks.

I think I considered it a cool value add compared to my i-mate of that era.

Tetraptous posted:I don’t like the pen support in PowerPoint. It’s a lot clunkier than GoodNotes, which is why I go through the extra step of importing my slides into it. The GoodNotes pens feel better, look better, have easier menus to switch colors, and support things like drawing straight lines and shapes easily. I'm not expecting much on the mobile front until the new unified desktop app is out, stand-alone apps are sorta static development wise, they get bug fix but no new features.
