Space Racist posted:I will say I'm blown away that the original mini is still for sale. I guess someone out there must be buying them, but the notion that the A5 is going to be supported another year is crazy. Original iPad mini looking real good as a kids tablet if you want to stay in the iOS ecosystem.

Yeah the Air 2 was a massive bump over the original Air. With retailers already clearing out stock with $100 off discounts it probably won't make much difference if you pick one up before or after the refresh.

Thwomp posted:I'm just real confused by Apple and their iPad lineup. I have an iPad 3rd Gen and I'd consider an upgrade but 1) The Air 2 is almost two years old and 2) the smaller Pro has features I don't really need (Pencil/Smart Connector support). Apple is probably moving away from a yearly update cycle for the iPad's since people don't update yearly for those. Also Apple isn't moving away from lightning connectors anytime soon.

Yeah, Apple is still the biggest brand but their market share slipped to about 30% now. http://www.statista.com/statistics/276635/market-share-held-by-tablet-vendors/

awesome-express posted:I just got the $329/£339 iPad delivered today. It's thicker and heavier than the iPad Air 2 and the chamfered edges are no longer polished to be shiny. It is a downgrade. That's why it's $170 cheaper.

I'm looking to sell my 2012 rMBP and get an iPad Pro instead. Right now it would be for browsing, media consumption, and reading textbook material for an online school. I have a Mac Pro at home for any real heavy lifting. I'm looking at the 9.7" 128gb Refurb on Apple's site for $530 but I keep hearing everyone go on and on about the upgraded screen and increased RAM on the 10.5". Going for the 256gb there would be another nearly $300. Thoughts? I don't really have a reference point so I can't say if I would even want or need the other features the 10.5" has. Or is this something that making the jump to the 10.5" is going to get me a much longer life out of it?

I've owned a couple iPads, the last one I used was the iPad 3. My kids have a Mini 4 and iPad Air 1. I was using the Air 1 this morning for reading some school stuff which is what prompted me to consider ditching the laptop finally. I could probably get by with the 64gb version actually, I just know I don't want the 32gb. Maybe I'll wait until they hit the refurb store. It's been 90 days so they should be showing up pretty soon.

KingKapalone posted:If I have a bunch of mkv files and want to put them on my girlfriend's iPad for a flight: Endless Mike posted:If you have a Mac, spend money on Waltr and just dump them directly. I was just about to post this. The app seems like one of those you'd see on late night infomercials, but it's really an amazingly simple piece of software. You plug in your iOS device and drag them into the interface window. It will convert, download, and put them into the default iOS videos app. It works really fast and I use it all the time to load up videos on the kid's iPads for long car trips. It works on Windows PCs now too, used to be MacOS only. https://softorino.com/waltr/ The original Waltr software is $20 and will do everything you want. There's a Waltr2 but as far as I can tell all they added was WiFi sync and doubled the price.

TraderStav posted:Is there a knock-off of the Smart Cover for the Air 2? I'm looking to keep the profile as slim as possible and just need something that'll give the iPad something to sit upright. The smart cover would be perfect, but not looking at spending $40 on one. I have a spare one that I’m not using. You can have it for cost of shipping. It’s space grey. PM me your details and I’ll send it out.

What’s your budget? There’s a few deals this Black Friday you should be able to capitalize on. iPad 5 (current) is going to be $250 at a bunch of stores. iPad mini is going to be down to $300 at a couple places. iPad Pro 10.5 was down to $500 yesterday at Sam’s Club, may pop back up soon. I would say either get the iPad 5 or iPad Pro. The mini is getting old and may not survive the next round of refreshes.

I was deciding between the 9.7” and 10.5” for a while. The 9.7” has 2gb of ram while the 10.5” has 4gb. The ProMotion screen is very nice in-person, and a big improvement if you use the Apple pen. Also the base storage was doubled from 32gb to 64gb so your entry point has twice the storage as well. I’d say if you can find a 10.5” for $499 on Black Friday, get one of those. $70 for double the ram, double the storage and a better screen is well worth it. If not, the 9.7” is still a great unit.

It scared the poo poo out of me but after it completed it seems like everything is fine. What exactly happened there? I just had this happen to my iPhone today. Only ill effect was that Apple Pay stopped working until I restarted it.

Question Mark Mound posted:How much better are the iPad smart covers/cases vs the £10 ones you can get off Amazon? I've always only ever used cheap cases for my iPad and can't really work out what would make the Apple ones better. My biggest problem with the cheap knock off smart cases is that they often use a cheap cardboard or thin plastic insert for the flaps and it’s hard as hell to find out that actually sits flush and doesn’t curl or bow out at the edges.
