I actually just remembered my mom had sent me a picture from it when they got it, and had told me the store had JUST gotten in the shipment when they bought one. That was on 3/18/12, and the 3rd Gen came out on 3/16 so it's a 3.

Literally every older (60+) year old, including octogenarians, I've shown an iPad to has picked up the basics within minutes. My in laws vacation in a retirement community and iPads were everywhere. Old people aren't dumb and technology doesn't always have to be difficult.

eric posted:Gave someone an air 2 and they said they're noticing the vibration on the back when playing music that they didn't experience with the air. Should I exchange it at the apple store or do they all do this? Mine does it too. To me it almost seems like it's by design, as if it's using the inside of the tablet as a cavity to resonate sound. After putting it in a rather thin case I don't notice it at all.

The air 2 is pretty great for reading comics, I should have realized this sooner. I have chunky comic reader - is there a better app I should look into?

Seriously-- the olds who can't distinguish their monitor from the computer and can't distinguish the web from their email would be better off with an iPad.

Are there any jailbreak tweaks that would allow access to the main system sound settings other than music?

The amount of maintenance that needs to go into a computer and the amount of things that can go wrong makes the iPad a clear winner. You really can't argue that.

I was at Costco today and they had the iPad Air smart cover for $25 (Apple charges $39). The store I went to only had blue and black, though.

We gave my 80 year old grandma an iPad a few years ago. Prior to that she's never used a computer and the biggest piece of tech she owned was a microwave. She picked it up in minutes and literally cannot stop using it now. There is no way she'd be able to figure out a laptop so quickly. Plus she doesn't have wifi so paying $10/m to join on my family plan for her to get 3G is a no brainer. With a laptop we'd have to pay for Internet then buy a router and have two additional devices to keep up and running just so she can send email. iPad is the way to go.

tuyop posted:But I really think a crappy $500 laptop is the way to go. It's familiar, cheap, repairable on the hardware side, and the learning curve won't be a problem for them since they probably access everything through a browser anyway instead of a bunch of apps. The iPad has the advantage of being nearly impossible to break on the software side, v. a windows laptop that will need constant janitoring from someone who knows how (read: you). v  v anecdotes! I know, but don't cheap out on your mom. Also lol at "change in interaction logic" -- it's a loving ipad, you press the button or icon with your finger. Good lord.

Why, are you hoping you can make a total "profit" on them by flipping all five of them in two weeks? It's kind of a ridiculous suggestion that Costco doesn't sell things individually. I don't know about the iPad Air cover specifically but since he didn't mention having to buy 20 of them at a time, I would assume he actually meant 1 is $25, not 3 for $75.

I broke down and bought an ipad mini 2 yesterday because I was tired of waiting for a refurbished one to show up on the website and I gave my 2012 N7 to my dad. So far I'm impressed with it but it did take a long time for it to upgrade to iOS 8. And yes I got the 32GB model and I'm glad I did because after I installed iOS 8 and a few apps on it I would have less than 3GB left on a 16GB model. My only critique of it so far is the multitasking gestures are kinda annoying.

At $349 the 32gb iPad mini 2 is the best deal you can get right now on an iPad imo. Same internals as the mini 3, and just a few months ago it used to cost $499.

The 2 gig and extra core of the air 2 is. Huge game changer around lifetime of the device and resell value. Plus the best buy sale off 100$ off. I'd not consider anything else

Oops I forgot to mention I put some music on it too since I got the 32GB model. As for apps I put Chrome, Hearthstone, and Awful app on it. I have 19GB usable right now so wouldn't that be ~3GB usable if I would have gotten a 16GB model instead?

Thorn may be the best hand cannon in the game now. It does 60+ damage in PvE with the Dot damage plus the already high damage. I took down a yellow bar acolyte in one shot.

Do you mean just a little looseness, or are you talking iPhone 5s-level "literally rattles audibly when you shake the device a bit"? edit: wait, I didn't see that you were talking about a Mini 2, I have an Air 2. Since the Mini 2 came out at about the same time as the 5s, maybe it is normal for it to have a rattly as gently caress wake button. Selane fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Dec 2, 2014 |

I have 13 more days to exchange it at Best Buy or will they not let me exchange it for something like that? I don't want to be a year down the road after the warranty expires and then the button stops working or literally falls out of the tablet. I also read online that this is common on the mini 2 so I can see exchanging it and the button on the replacement rattles too. Edit: By the way I like your avatar/custom title.  Edit: Even the screen lock switch and the volume buttons wiggle but only slightly and they don't rattle when I shake the tablet. spasticColon fucked around with this message at 18:52 on Dec 2, 2014 |

Great looking deal on the Air 2, Space Gray 64Gb, £430. http://www.rakuten.co.uk/shop/pixelelectronics/product/Apple_Ipad_Air_2/?l-id=gb_cart_product_1_1&sku=Apple_Ipad_Air_2_64gb_Space_Grey I just picked one up today, are there any downsides to registering all ten fingers (and my wang) for Touch ID?

Now I only have one hand to defend from muggers.

Little bit put off this Air 2 with just how strongly you can feel the speaker vibrating the device. Hoping popping it in a case tones it down a little.

I don't know but it'd just need some capacitance to work afaik. Or you could just make a thin copy of the fingerprint (if still fully in tact) and real finger behind it like was used back when the 5S came out. Or since you have the finger I guess you could try cutting off the top and carving out the stuff inside and use that instead of going through the hassle of a copy. Unless it's improved to the point where that copy trick doesn't work anymore

There is a clear lack of testing with severed fingers. edit: Unless Apple has a top-secret R&D lab hidden away in China that they don't want made public.

I recall seeing a video where some guys made moulds of their fingers trying to get into their iPhone 5s and they all failed, but went and used it on whatever generation of Samsung phone came out around that time that had touch ID and one of the prints that was rejected on the iPhone had no problem getting into whatever poo poo Samsung taped onto their phone
