So an iPad 4 is £480 and I could probably sell my iPad 3 for £350. Is the difference between the two big enough to justify the extra £130? I know that I'd really like AirDrop, but how much has it really improved outside of that? Especially since I'd probably fork out the extra money and go with the £560 64GB model instead.

Not sure if this is really the right place to ask this, but are there any portable printers available that'll work with iPads yet? The sales guys in my company are currently using decrepit old netbooks and old portable printers when out on the road and needing to print sales invoices. Management are pushing to move them onto iPads but they still need the ability to print stuff out - but I can't find anything portable that they can take out on the road that is AirPrint compatible.

If the new main line iPad is lighter but with the same battery life, I would be very easily convinced to upgrade from my iPad 3. Switching to all-Lightning will be so handy too! I haven't had any reason performance problems with either my iPad or iPhone 5 so I'm excited to see if there's any crazy new feature on either new device which might push me over the edge into wanting a new one.

I've had to set up a couple of iPads in my workplace and connected them to their Exchange accounts. The users have been telling me that now they can't access the internet (Safari etc.) on their home or hotel wifi, just while in the company's network. Is that normal for iPads on Exchange? What needs to be changed to allow their iPads to access any network? Edit: okay got more info, apparently it's more just a case of when Safari was launched, the users were asked for their iCloud password for some reason. I don't think it's anything to do with Exchange. We're trying to avoid letting these users know the iCloud password because they'd be the kind to buy apps and IAPs without even knowing about it.

I'm sure I saw a few games, namely Bastion, add in controller support when iOS 7 hit. I'm waiting to see if other big games like the Final Fantasy titles etc get support before I go looking for hardware though.

They shouldn't be triple the size, but all wallpapers will be zoomed in a bit to allow for the parallax effect on your home and lock screens.

Performance wise the 3 is pretty much fine except for wallpaper changing, it just lacks the cool glass effect for transparencies. My only legit reasons for upgrading to an Air are for the sake of AirDrop between it and my iPhone and the drop in weight. Incidentally, they're not doing pre-orders at all for it in the UK, are they? What time on 1st November are they likely to release website orders? As much as I want one, taking a day off work to queue outside the Apple Store in Belfast seems a little silly.

What is the benefit of having both?

I sold my laptop a few months after I got my iPad. I think a PC for tasks you really gotta focus on like media editing or "core" games, a tablet for chilling out and checking Facebook on the couch and a phone for having with you anyway is the perfect combination for computer stuff. Whenever I bought my iPad, on my way home before switching it on I got some buyer's remorse - assuming that I had blown hundreds of pounds on a gimmicky gadget that I'll get bored of. I don't think I've ever been more wrong about a purchase my whole life. Except for the time I bought Steel Battalion on the Xbox... ouch. Nihiliste posted:I actually do use my iPad for work. I cover tech news, and as we speak my iPad is propped up on a desk corner with Pulse running. Speaking of which, I wish Pulse/LinkedIn would get their act together and fix the crashes the app has under iOS 7.

I haven't had a chance to go to an Apple Store, but have any of them put iPad Air cases on display yet? I'm curious to know if the cases for the Air still have that rock-hard and sharp edge to their smartcovers/cases.

I'm trying to plan out what case I'm going to get for my iPad Air and the Kavaj range look pretty good. Obviously people haven't had time with the Air yet to see if it's a good fit, but has anyone bought one of their cases for the iPad 3 or 4 and can offer an opinion on them? There's 3 styles, not sure which I'd prefer - but they all have dumb names.

Paradoxish posted:It's not a slight difference, although that might be difficult to realize if you've never used one before. Even the weight difference between a 2 and a 3/4 is very noticeable, and that's tiny by comparison. The Air is looking to be a much better device in every way that matters.

Anyone know yet if Apple will allow collect-in-store for online orders in the UK? I'm ordering mine online after midnight tonight but I'll be in town on Friday anyway so it'd be neat to pick it up without a risk of them being sold out.

Holy poo poo this thing is light. It's the first time I've ever picked up a product on the tables and thought "is this a hollow display model?" before I turned on the screen. Decided not to go with the Smart Case because gently caress those are expensive. I hate having the iPad nude in my bag, though. There were a few I linked to earlier in the thread but they're not out 'til the 21st of November. Has anyone picked up any really lightweight cases yet that let you prop the device up for viewing that they can recommend? Edging towards a Belkin Lapstand, they seems like a neat gimmick and it'd be nice to not always need a desk. Question Mark Mound fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Nov 1, 2013 |

I've applied them to like 5 different iPads and now and they've all turned out great. Do your best to get the big bubbles (the ones you can actually feel) and then over the next 48 hours the little ones will just disappear. I've got a slim case on preorder but adding any bulk at all to the Air feels like a crime!

I usually only have about 3 or 4 tabs at a time, admittedly, but I rarely notice tab refreshing to be that bad unless I've gone off and played a game that really pushes things then gone back to Safari or if I haven't used it in a day or two.

On holiday I picked up a lovely iPhone case which was plastic with a wooden panel on the back. After a bit of googling I found the same company is selling other iPhone cases on Amazon but they don't seem to have anything for iPads. Does anyone know of wooden iPad Air cases that are pretty slim (plastic body with wooden panel would be fine, and probably better)? Everything I've found online so far looks hella bulky. Shipping to UK much preferred! edit: Not adding a lot of bulk to the sides would be nice. Those cases that only add about 1-2mm to the height/width of the tablet are fantastic for not making it too large. Question Mark Mound fucked around with this message at 12:33 on Jul 4, 2014 |

Facepalm Ranger posted:I had a complete wooden iphone case for a while for my 4S. Bulky, yes. Protactive and hella awesome and blew everyone's mind, yes. Tethering an iPad to an iPhone works perfectly so the only thing you'd need to worry about would be data usage (which would be an issue anyway) or your phone's battery life, since it obviously adds a bit of extra drain. I'd always recommend anyone to buy one of those portable USB battery packs if they're using their devices a lot. As long as your iPhone isn't dead and you always have it with you, paying for another contract just for your iPad seems a bit unnecessary. The difference between the 3 and the Air is the weight (HUGE difference), overall size of the device (screen size is the same), new connectors and generally the Air has WAY more grunt behind its hardware so nothing ever slows down the way it did on the 3. Personally, the Mini seemed a tad too small for me but it's one of those things where everyone will have a different preference. Do you have friends with similarly sized tablets that you could borrow for a few hours and try reading comics or browsing the net on? I should point out that I haven't gotten around to using a Retina Mini yet, though. My biggest gripe with the original Mini was the screen resolution but not quite up to snuff after being used to iPhone 4+ and iPad 3+. Things will definitely be much more readable than they were but again - personal preference. Question Mark Mound fucked around with this message at 15:42 on Jul 4, 2014 |

I'm having a bit of trouble with a work colleague's iPad 2 at the moment. I've set up their Exchange emails a while back which seemed to connect and be working okay - but as of today occasionally it will come up saying that it cannot connect to the server. Flicking airplane mode on and off seems to fix this for a while. It doesn't seem to be a wifi issue since Safari works just fine when the problem occurs, and no other devices are having the same problem. Anything I should be looking out for?

The Silver Snail posted:Hello, I need some information. Recently my ipad came up missing after my roommate had some houseguests stay over for a few days. I'm suspecting that they may have taken it, but I need evidence. The two resources I could use acquire remote proof are my iTunes account, and my roommate's iPhone, which has my iPad as a contact. Is there any way I can use these two things to prove that the ipad is still being used, and not just lost in my home somewhere? i.e, does sending a message to an idevice that's drained its battery show up differently on the sender's device? Any information would be helpful, I did not use my ipad heavily, so I'm somewhat deficient in knowing what may or may not be an option. Thanks in advance. When you go in to "Find My iPhone", click "All Devices" at the top then your iPad's name. From there a window will pop up that lets you play a sound, lock it, or wipe it remotely.
