OnceIWasAnOstrich posted:Well one major difference is you can sell products on stores other than Amazon, auction items on sites other than eBay, but you can't distribute an app on iOS except through the app store. Secondly, in the first two instances you are bypassing the main function of the storefronts themselves, selling or auctioning items, while in the latter instance you might be selling a service to an ancillary subscription. Should Amazon be allowed to enforce payment via Amazon for all subscriptions for products sold via the Amazon storefront? Except in this case that's not true at all. You can go and buy enter the Epic storefront through ways other than the iOS app and buy things not using the Apple App Store. Anything I buy on a PC or in Safari on a phone is not getting the Apple cut. So that's the case of you buying it from another auction site. And the main function of the app store that you're distributing your app is to make purchases on the app store isn't it?

Great thanks for reminding me too... I wish I had my old eBay account that was attached to my hotmail. I’d love to know what was the first stupid thing I bought.

Anyone that hasn’t bought a 2018 or 2020 iPad Pro yet needs to buy one. Just got my 11” and holy poo poo this thing is awesome. Coming from a 9.7” Pro for reference.

Magic keyboard does look cool but it takes up laptops amount of space with it. And also if you take it off the keyboard, then it's naked and that's no good.

Agreed, I just got a folio style case without a keyboard. e.pilot posted:wait until you get the new magic keyboard to go with it I decided against the magic keyboard, I already have a 16” MBP so I don’t need another laptop, I just want a good tablet.

Yeah I can’t wait for iPadOS 14 as well, I picked up a pencil 2 in preparation for the ability to write in the text boxes. What are some other cool pencil tricks or apps besides the regular drawing and note taking?

Just going to rest it in a stand between uses. I grabbed AppleCare but I guess one day I will need a sleeve if this hell world ends and I can travel again. I almost grabbed the Magic keybooard but my Kechron k4 worked really well with it so no need

e.pilot posted:wait until you get the new magic keyboard to go with it Bought one, used it for a week, returned it 2 days ago. Ultimately it asks you to compromise too much for the sake of a proper keyboard. I really wanted to like it and it's built super well but at that point I might as well just buy an actual laptop. I do a lot of note taking and carry the iPad EVERYWHERE with me at work and... it was too much. With the smart keyboard I have a cover that I can also flip entirely for notes/pdf annotating. with the magic keyboard you have one way of using it and if you want to do anything else then its detach time and honestly I didn't care for that at all. That said, the smart keyboard with a magic mouse 2 when you need a mouse? That poo poo is the bee's knees. Happy Noodle Boy fucked around with this message at 23:27 on Aug 16, 2020 |

Yeah logitech is a solid brand and usually what I'd go for but the price is a bit steep, and yeah I wouldn't go for the cheap ones, they're a little scary. Something more like Anker would possibly be the price/quality point I'd like to go for.

Just a quick glance of reviews and some their headlines: Potential Fire Hazard; AirPod part broke easily, phone will not stay charging; Overpriced junk, save your money and wait for better alternatives; Set up is impossible, will damage your product; Suspect quality, possible fire hazard. I understand your experience is different and everyone's financial situation is not the same but I don't want to lose my family and home and live with the knowledge a $100 would have been the difference.

But they did mention reviews there and one had pics of the device warping from the heat and said they couldn't pick it up with their bare hand because it was too hot. I choose not buy it because of the potential fire hazard and don't blame the guy for returning it after researching it further for the same reason. Rather read that than "definite fire hazard, burned my house down".

Is there anyone, literally anyone, who can put a fresh battery in an old iPad without sending it away for two weeks? All of the Apple stores in my region are still closed, Best Buy sends it away to the same place as Apple and the one independent chain that I called said that he would have to send it away as well. I just went back to work and I can't really be without my tablet for professional reasons.

I don't know if they do it for iPads, but for phones, they'll send you a loaner and put a hold on your credit card to make sure they get it back.

No you can't get a loaner for phones or iPads. You can do an express replacement for a limited warranty or AppleCare issue but they don't have loaner devices like that. Some stores did but it's pretty rare now with a pandemic happening Edit: I'm not sure if iPad battery service can be arranged with customer drop off at a UPS store which cuts the repair time pretty significantly since you aren't waiting for a box but turn around time is about 3-5 business days right now for mail in service DangerZoneDelux fucked around with this message at 16:11 on Aug 18, 2020 |

Now it's just the express replacement. edit: Looks like they still do have loaners for certain iPhone repairs, but I think those are only for repairs done at Apple Stores or AASP (and if they end up doing a mail-in repair).

I have a 6th gen IPad and certain keys on the software key board stopped working. When I have the iPad horizontal it's certain keys and when I'm vertical mode it's a different set of keys that are inoperable. Those spots are not dead as I can interact with apps and other touch functions and I'm holding off calling Apple as this may be faster to fix via SA.

Try a hard reset and if that doesn't work, wipe/reinstall OS, but don't load a backup. If issue goes away, load backup and see what happens.

I have an iPad Pro 10.5 that I got for “reasons” but never use. My oldest is starting kindergarten in a couple weeks so I decided to give it to her. I made her a child account and reset the iPad then set it up with her credentials and all is working as intended. Apart from abcmouse are there any must have apps for 5 year olds? She’s getting a chrome book through school but we want to supplement with the iPad

There is a whole world of educational and age-specific kid apps, as well as “creation” apps at various price points and skill/seriousness levels for stuff like photography, filmmaking, drawing, painting, animating, etc. Lots of good music making and teaching apps for kids and adults. Also stuff like Star Walk or inaturalist, etc. I’d also put in a plug for some of the more education-focused streaming services: curiositystream/nebula/etc.

There is one place that will do it locally but they told me that it may crack the screen, in which case it is $230, which doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

No, it's one I bought with my own money, it's just integral to how I do my work and even moreso as we are largely remote due to the pandemic. Our budget was cut a great deal as well and equipment is at a premium. It's just very bad timing and my not realising that the Apple stores were closed. The battery life was somewhat diminished (it's 5 years old, after all) a few months ago, but suddenly in the last few weeks it's become genuinely bad. Basically, a few things that were my fault and many others that were not all happened at the same time. I never thought that it would be so hard just to put a battery in something.

She’s getting a chrome book through school but we want to supplement with the iPad 5 is tough because as you probably already know they're too old for the baby games but not old enough to read well. Plus you have the problem that all mobile games are filled with crap like IAP that the child doesn't grok. Looking at my kid's iPad, she's not into much at the moment. Recently she has done Khan Kids (needs internet) and Teach Your Monster To Read. Games are Crossy Road (not quite capable enough for that yet), Toca School, and Dr Panda's Restaurant. Lately she is more into taking photos and sending them (with a billion emojis) to Mum/Me/Grandma/Older Cousin.
