I've started to get a very odd thing happen with my iPad Pro. When the smart keyboard is attached, I'll often get the sound that you'd normally hear when you out the iPad on charge. It seems pretty constant. The iPad isn't plugged in, and when I disconnect the keyboard the noise doesn't happen. Has anyone else experienced this and if so know how to fix it?

Quantum of Phallus posted:As in thickness? That's a shame. I'm trading my air 2 in once the tradeup box arrives I traded for the pencil support but here are a few things I did notice that others may care about : -It’s like a mm thicker, which is noticeable. -It’s like 40g heavier, which is noticeable. -The screen isn’t laminated or whatever they call it. This equates to it being very reflective and loud when you tap on it. Pencils make a downright click sound on this glass. It also looks a little sunken into the bezel and not as flush as the pro. -Everything runs smoother. -The pencil support is awesome and it works very well. I can doodle with Procreate while Netflix plays in the corner, I like that. Overall I’m glad I traded, the negatives are only that noticeable because I’ve been using my Air 2 every day since they came out and would notice any slight change. I also don’t use mine outside so being reflective isn’t a big deal. If you don’t care about pencil support or games that need higher benchmarks, maybe go try one in the store first.

Anyone know if Apple expects a charging brick and lightning cable if I bring in an iPad to trade?

God drat the iPad Pros are expensive in Ireland, they're the equivalent of $920 for the base 10" version  You can get two of the new base models for the price of a base Pro

Rolo posted:-It’s like a mm thicker, which is noticeable. After the Air 2, they basically went back to the Air 1 body. The mute/lock switch is gone and the camera and volume buttons shifted a little, but the dimensions and separated display (though the new LCD is brighter than the Air 1's) are the same. Presumably it was to cut costs, since they started selling them cheaper with the 2017 model, and the Air 2 screens are pretty expensive.

How much of an upgrade performance wise am I getting going from an Air 1 to Gen 6? Im thinking this ipad is sort of showing its age sometimes when I'm browsing, have a tone of tabs open and have to constantly reload them.

Yeah, def going to get one tomorrow if the exchange happens to have them. If not I'll order one online after I get back, going from 1GB of ram to 2 plus that massive of an improvement to the processor should be enough to justify it. My mom is still rocking a Gen 2 so she'll be happy to get my hand me down.

My iPad Air was my last passcode-only device. Traded it in at DA FROOT STAND today for $130 and got an The New iPad 2018. Form factor is basically identical minus the audio switch, and it has TouchID, and it'll actually get updated past November, so seems like a good buy for $200. (Also nabbed some AirPods and an orange leather iPhone case. Jury is still out on how I feel about the AirPods comfort-wise, but I can definitely see their convenience.)

So if I am just casually iPad guy should I trade my air 2 to get a new iPad. I suppose the new iPad will get iOS updates for longer?

The one I have only has 16gb and it's a nightmare to use when I have to keep deleting apps and clearing the cache. The new one has an inferior screen but a beefier professor.

Bought my wife a new ipad (ipad 5 I guess?) this Christmas after her mini bit the dust. However she's starting some college classes soon and I think the pencil would be great for her for note taking. The apple site doesn't list it as part of the trade in program probably because it's too soon? What sort of trade in value can I expect?

This was recommended by the guy at Apple when I asked if their 30 dollar case connected to the iPad somehow or actually did anything: https://www.stylussling.com/product...XhoCk9sQAvD_BwE It even holds the little charging attachment.

WTF am I talking about, it's something suggested at an Apple store. It's a bargain getting that much elastic for $25. I bought a wool sleeve for $20 that I'll just toss my Pencil in with my new iPad.
