The 5s is definitely showing its age on iOS 10. The air 2 still runs like a dream.

I think on Paper the 6 was technically faster than the 5S, but it was pushing more pixels so in a lot of situations it was slower. Nevermind the 6+, which was a pig. But like Apple does, the 6S and 6S+ are pretty amazing. The 7 is bad.

The fake button is worse than bad, and it's the first iPhone to keep the same form factor as the 2 iPhones before it. Therefore, bad.

But how can everyone know I upgraded and using the most expensive version. I feel like Apple really missed the boat not sending an alert message to everyone in range that it IS in fact the Jet Black version with 256GB.

Where are these Air2 deals that keep getting mentioned, cause I can't find them. My 32gb Air1 is starting to get small and slow. I'd kind of like the laminated screen of the Air2, but the 2017 iPad still looks like a better deal in 128gb everywhere I've looked.

The Facebook app took forever to update to iPhone 6 sizes, also, as I recall. They're too busy finding ways to add more ads, I guess.

Honestly I never really even notice the difference now. Unless I am touching the verrrry edge of the home button, the capacitive button feels like a normal home button and I like that it won't break or start feeling different because I have had a couple home buttons get wonky on my over the years.

Just wanted to say I own an iPad Air 1 and work gave me the new iPad (2017). If you were wondering if it's worth upgrading I can safely say no, it's not. Unless you really, really want Touch ID on your ipad. The new iPad is nice and runs faster than the Air 1 but if I didn't have them side-by-side to compare I wouldn't really notice 99% of the time. I'm in the UK where the price reduction is like £20 vs the $100 or whatever the US got so it's really not worth it. If you're using an iPad 4 or older then it's a great upgrade but I really would have preferred an Air 3. Edit: I still can't believe there's still no android tablets that even come close to being an ipad competitor. I wouldn't give up my stock android phone (Nexus 5X atm) but gently caress me the android tablet experience is hot garbage. hottubrhymemachine fucked around with this message at 22:42 on Apr 25, 2017 |

As of yesterday I no longer can be playing a youtube video in a background tab in safari, has anyone else got this? I think it is something youtube did deliberately. Vimeo vids still work fine in a background tab. If i request desktop version of youtube the video will work fine but its a pain.

I think that's a feature of youtube red so either apple or google/youtube disabled it if you're not a subscriber. It is definitely something they did deliberately.

I heard that a change from the YouTube API might gently caress with ProTube too but it works for now and is much better than the official app or using safari.

I kinda understand it, in so much as it feels like "just" an iPad and it just functions as a solid tablet. I haven't used an iPad Pro, but maybe it feels nicer. All I know is, I can browse the web, watch videos, read comics, follow up on Instapaper, all without a stutter and it feels light and rad in-hand. It's the iPhone SE of iPads.
