Traded in a couple of iPhone 5's for $225 a piece at Best Buy. They didn't take my charger/cable/earpods/box either. Question for smart case owners: I've heard conflicting statements that the Air 2 smart case isn't any thinner than the original Air's. Is that true? Also, are the magnets any better than the original Air's? (The original's magnets were flimsy and could not hold in the landscape 'picture frame' position very well. And the cover tended to pull back a bit in my bag, exposing the left side of the screen.)

Star War Sex Parrot posted:Did you have to give them anything other than the iPad itself? I was thinking about snagging an Air 2 from Best Buy since I have some gift cards, but didn't consider trading my iPad 4 in there. What's the process like? When I traded in my mini, to get the maximum price, I needed to include the charger and cable. I gave em the charger, cable and ipad all in the box. Guy opened the box, flicked it on to make sure I'd wiped it and disabled the icloud lock, gave it a quick look over. Sign two things saying I gave over the ipad for moneys, they activated the gift card. Walk over to the Apple dept and bought my iPad. Totally painless, way less worry than going through Kijiji. EDIT: They were totally out of iPad Air 2's, but I played with the one on display. Holy hell, I was definitely tempted until I found out they were out of stock. Those things are so thin! Thinner than the mini's now. Snuffman fucked around with this message at 00:10 on Oct 26, 2014 |

When did they switch back to a 10W adapter, by the way? The first Air? I know they bumped it to a 12W when the Retina iPads came out since the batteries were gigantic. I now have official 5W, 10W, and 12W adapters.

I like the Zagg folio cases because they protect the back and the top can pivot like a laptop hinge. Anyone know if the Air 1 case will fit an Air 2?

I knew I forgot something: I didn't cancel my LTE service on my iPad 4 before I traded it. I at least popped the SIM out, but that left me having to call Verizon to cancel the $10 a month for LTE on that device. It was like pulling teeth. They wanted to sell me a 4G "Jetpack" or something so I'd still have LTE access for my Wi-Fi iPad in the future, and she didn't seem to get that there was no way she was going to sell me on it. She talked for about 3 minutes uninterrupted trying to sell me on it while I continued to iron shirts.

What's the Apple Smart Case for the Air 2 like? I'm going to trade-in my 4th gen soon and i really like their leather cases for the 5S and later, so I might indulge myself for a nice case.

I got one of the official leather cases and it's fantastic. There appear to be two grains for the leather, a bumpier one and a smoother one, so make sure you pick what suits you. It stands up very sturdily as well.

That said, I still got 170 CAD for my 32 gig original mini. Like I said, beats dealing with the local Kijijii. Edit: Not all BB do trade ins (in Canada at least...) so check beforehand.

Don't know if this is the place to ask but my fiance keeps stealing my little Nexus 7 so she can read blogs and poo poo, so I was thinking of buying her an iPad. Should I spend the <$100 on a 1st generation and see if she likes it first or go ahead and buy her a iPad air, mini, or retina? Also is the difference between the visuals of the retina display or the weight of the air make a huge difference that would justify the cost for a casual user?

You have to just go to a store and look at them to decide if the Retina display is worth it. I think the sweet spot on iPad pricing right now is the iPad mini 2 refurbs. No one should purchase an iPad 1 in TYOOL 2014. My grandpa's still using one and being stuck on iOS 5 is incredibly crippling when he also has an iPhone 5S on iOS 8 and a Mac on Yosemite. He's getting an Air 2.

I don't get why fingerprints should be kept private (or shared willingly), it's not like anyone can remake your thumb and take it to the dmv and start stealing your identity. I guess the pawn act involves cross checking sellers with a database and I wouldn't care about that either, you know?

bobfather posted:Traded in an iPad 3 16 GB to Best Buy. They gave me a $163 gift card and a $50 coupon toward an iPad Air 2 purchase. $213 for an iPad 3 16GB isn't bad, especially since it lets me avoid dealing with Craigslist or Ebay. Man, I wasn't planning on upgrading immediately, but that's a really compelling deal considering I have the exact same iPad 3 as you. I know people frown on 'I bought this' posts but thanks for yours. Is there a time limit on the trade deal or is it indefinite?

They're required to fingerprint you since like someone said above trade ins are considered pawns to the law. You also get fingerprinted when trading in video games for $20.

ArcaneMan posted:Whats the best iPad bluetooth keyboard cover? Looking for something similar to the surface's form/functionality. For the air, The Zagg keys cover isnt a shoddy piece of poo poo like their folio cover is. It just clamps on, holds it to a viewing angle of your pleasure very, very well, and has a backlight keyboard. Ive only played with the one for the Air, but its pretty nice. My buddy at the verizon store sold me on it well, and im going to pick one at some point. Im getting kinda tired of this Logitech one i have right now.

SpookyLizard posted:For the air, The Zagg keys cover isnt a shoddy piece of poo poo like their folio cover is. Seconding- the earlier version of the Zagg keys with the full plastic iPad back served me very well for ~8mo so on a whim I got the newer clamp-only aluminum version and have enjoyed it even more. They're both equally solid build-wise, just depends on whether you want more iPad protection.

I pre-ordered through Best Buy and I've still not got my 64gb Space Gray. On Friday they called and said that "Oh, you might have gotten a pickup email but they're here" and the girl who called said it would be later that day or Saturday and that they would call me back when it got there. No big deal. Saturday around 3 I still hadn't heard anything so I called. They said, "Oh yeah, I'm sure it's here" and when I asked him to double check he came back and said it wasn't and it would be Wednesday at the earliest. I started talking to the manager and he tried to explain how it was Apple's fault and that Best Buy was unable to fulfill preorders for many customers. What he didn't know was that I had called the store on the other side of town and they not only got enough to cover their pre-orders but had extras for sale. I knew this because I called the other store and asked if I could change my pick-up since my store didn't get any (and I was told no). Basically, they had no rebuttal. He tried to explain how their inventory system worked but it was no excuse why preorders weren't fulfilled vs being sold from a store 15 minutes away. He ended up finding one about an hour and a half away and said it would be shipped immediately via UPS and I would have tracking information before the end of the day...guess what...no loving emails. I just wish we had an Apple store.

Why not get an iPad from the store that has them in stock and then either cancel your other pre-order or immediately return it for a refund when they ask you to pick it up?
