I installed it on my Mini 1 and it seems choppy, but no worse than iOS 8 was. This iPad is getting long in the tooth for sure.

tuyop posted:Spend some time playing around with a Mini as well just in case you don't like the 10" screen. The Mini 4 will have the Air 2 specs whenever it drops in stores, should be a beast with the small screen and all that power. I've actually got a 2012 Nexus 7 which is slow and too small for what I want to use it for, so I'm really excited for the larger screen. One of my old coworkers got an Air when it first came out and I loved the size, I've just procrastinated in upgrading for a while now. its no big deal posted:I decided after the event last week to get the Air 2 with 64GB. I love it and am realizing how much I missed having an iPad. You'll be happy with the power and portability. Speaking as someone who's coming back to iOS on iPad, a lot of apps have improved significantly for doing "real work". This is something I'm excited for as well; most of the applications my company uses have iOS apps that are fairly full-featured, it'll be nice to have that option if I leave my laptop at work or something.

Aphrodite posted:iOS9 adds a bit of lag to the Air, presumably because it has less ram. Awful's jittery scrolling on ios9 is code related, it's being fixed. I would not be surprised if the same is true for other apps (probably not Safari though).

I've taken to scrolling through my Lightroom catalog and picking individual photos to try editing in a different style. The app is slick enough to make it fun to do. Another instance is PowerPoint, which is integrated way better with Dropbox than I remember it being before. I haven't yet tried PIP with South Park on while I get presentations made for teaching, but I'm hoping it ends up as good as I think it can be.

Question Mark Mound posted:Unfortunately this doesn't work. However, the order seems to be based on the most recently used apps. And for anyone with 64 bit iPads (Air 1 or mini 2 and later) don't forget about content blocking extensions in iOS 9. Haven't done any tab reload tests or anything (ad/tracking script heavy pages should theoretically take less memory), but they provide a nice improvement on load speeds at least.

Aphrodite posted:iOS9 adds a bit of lag to the Air, presumably because it has less ram. At least, for Awful, the choppiness in the left menu sounds like something that can be resolved with some recoding from the app thread discussion. The behavior is just as choppy on my iPhone 6 regardless of the rest of the UI being smooth, so it doesn't seem connected to the other smoothness changes. Unless you meant in threads, in that case those scroll smoothly on my Air 1 as much as iOS 8 was. Agile Vector fucked around with this message at 06:15 on Sep 18, 2015 |

So has Apple quietly jacked up the price on the Air 2 in the rest of the world? Or is it just Australia?

Europeans are also complaining in the iPhone thread. The US dollar is doing well right now and Apple uses the US price to set prices in other currencies.

So as someone who hasn't had an iPad in a few years... My son currently has an iPad 2 (which used to be mine), but it's obviously getting a bit long in the tooth and has become really slow/choppy lately. I want to upgrade him for Christmas, and I'm wondering if anyone here has gone from full size to mini? I think (he's 6) he would be fine with the mini for a while at least, and I could upgrade to the next tier of storage for the same price. On that note, how well do we think the mini 3 is going to hold up down the line? I personally think that the jump from the iPad 2 to the mini 3 is going to be significant enough to tide him over for a few years but if that's not the case, I'll spring for a mini 4. e: \/ I only see 16 and 32 GB options available from Apple on the mini 2. That's one of the reasons I was looking at refurb Mini 3, because they were available with 64GB aBagorn fucked around with this message at 16:45 on Sep 23, 2015 |

If you're gonna get a Mini 3, go for the Mini 2. The only big difference between the two is the 3 has Touch ID. That said, if you want something that will last longest, go for the 4.

So, since upgrading to ios9 my ipad 4 can no longer copy and paste on wifi login pages. It seems deliberate as the clipboard contents are accessible and remain unchanged before and after hitting the login page. I'm not asking for help or anything, just trying to prepare 3rd party password manager or multi device users for a real headache.

The software version number on my Mini 2 is 13B55119e which a bit of Googling suggests isn't the final version, but I can't update. I think installing the beta wasn't such a good idea, haha. How do I fix this?

9.0.1 fixed the rotation bug on my Air 2, and also seems slightly snappier too (but could just be me).

For the person who asked about going from a regular ipad to a mini-- after a while you don't even notice the size difference. The only thing that would probably be better is if you use it to watch movies or read comics, but honestly with comics you can just pinch and zoom anything, and movies still look better on a mini than a phone.

Anyone else notice that their volume display thing doesn't pop up when you use the buttons? It still works, just provides no visual feedback.

You won't get back on the release cycle until the 9.1 release version is out and rolling back will require deleting everything and reverting to a previous backup (assuming you have one)*. *Only like 80% sure of this.

I made the same mistake on my phone, I accidentally said "sure, give me the 9.1beta!". Now I have to wait until 9.1 GM drops before I remove the beta profile. There is simply too much effort involved to roll-back to 9.0 and honestly 9.1beta has been really stable for me.

Plus it has the voice ID for Hey Siri so people cant say hey siri and search for naughty things.

She loves her iPad mini, and I'm hoping the only issue she'll see is a bit of slowness for a day or two while Spotlight re-indexes. Still choppy but I've found it slightly less choppy than 8. Only slightly mind you.

So I am thinking of getting an iPad to use primarily to watch movies with (I fly fairly often, additionally I like streaming Netflix or HBOgo while I exercise). I'm thinking of going with an Air 2 over the Mini, but I was wondering what other people thought? I haven't seen many people break out an air and watch movies during my plane trips, so I am a bit concerned that maybe it would end up being too big and cumbersome for that sort of thing? Thanks!

I have a mini 2, my wife has an Air 2. We watched movies and played board games on her iPad and it was perfect. She reads books on it but I could never get into it, on Kindle the margins are too wide between the columns in landscape mode, or the text field is too wide. Personally, I find that a nice, narrow text field with tight margins really helps with speed and comfort, but I might just be weird. Compare: Mini 2:  Air 2:  Right click for full res.

Settings > General > Multitasking > Allow Multiple Apps I should mention also, swiping from the right is a bit different now: swipe from the top or bottom of the right side and it performs whatever action it did before (ie Safari forward). Only the middle of the right side brings up the multitasking menu.

Air 2 is the poo poo. It's powerful and so will probably remain usable for a long time. It's the only iPad besides the pro that can do split screen multitasking.
