echobucket posted:That says the Mini may have the A7.. I find that hard to believe and keep the existing Mini price point. Do you think they'll raise the price? I figured the Mini would get like an A6X chip or something. I don't think the Mini has the form factor for an X chipset, though I could be wrong. Apple may decide they need the improved GPU from the A7 to drive the Retina display, making it cheaper to produce than shoehorning an X chip in.

Space Racist posted:I was curious if a vanilla A7 would be enough to drive a mini with a Retina display, then I looked up Anandtech's review of the 5s and the GPU in the A7 seems to have near identical power to the one in the A6X. I guess that leaves the full-size iPad to get an A7X and be the performance leader (or 'Pro' model) of the iPad line. Yeah. Although, are there any apps or games that would even take advantage of an extra GPU power, even on the high-res displays? Maybe they'll stick with the A7 and deliver like 12 hours of battery life or something.

I'm not claiming anything. I'm just wondering. When the iPad was still using iPhone processors, Apple often clocked it higher than the iPhone. I wonder if the Mini will be clocked to the same freq. as the iPhone or the iPad Air, or if they'll all be the same. Either way it's still going to be a completely worthy upgrade.

It just seems odd that they would be providing Verizon with a whitelist of iPads they sold with a Verizon SIM, just so that Verizon make the device less useful. I think that all happens when the device is first activated.

This is also why it feels hollow; you're hitting that gap when you thunk your paws down on the glass. Eventually they'll move to laminating the iPads, too. Surprised they haven't already, to be honest.

I guess I don't know if it's non-destructively, but it definitely copies over what appear to be "original" RAW files. Pretty excited for 128GB iPad Pro so I can just take my camera and iPad places.

I think I'll probably get an iPad Pro; I don't use my iPad 3 much in situations where I have to stand up and hold it one-handed now, and I just switched to a 6s+ from a 5, which I think obviates my need for a Mini.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:Yeah. They're not my thing but the Surface Pro is super good. My previous company had a few with the dock for the office and it was awesome what you could do with it. Agree; they're made very well. I really like the build quality. We have a SP in the house (my SO uses it) and I like it, but I think it's still this weird, stilted hybrid of a device. It's great for stylus things, inside of apps that have been using things like Wacom styli for years, but it completely falls apart outside of that (a notable exception might be made for something like OneNote); personally I think the keyboard and an external mouse is sort of a requirement for that device. For me personally, the iPad Pro would win at using it without the stylus - I mean, I'd still want a keyboard if I were using it to write an extended piece, but it's way more usable as a touch-only device. The downside is that for the moment, and possibly for a very long time, the same sort of powerful apps won't be available. I think the trade-off is worth it, but I a lot of people won't.

I have my apple pencil working but that app I can't even find the button or whatever to draw any way, even with my fingers... Not sure for the iPad but on the iPhone version there's a plus sign in the corner that lets you "insert" your drawing. Might be a secondary tap menu on the iPad?

GobiasIndustries posted:What can one do with an original iPad (not Air, like the OG iPad)? I mentioned earlier that we're gifting my grandparents an Air 2 and they've got an OG iPad in perfect condition that I'll probably end up in charge of recycling or whatever. Can I trade it in somewhere to get them cash for the App store or something, or if I kept it are there any neat tasks I could put it to use on (wireless monitor, stuff like that)? I haven't looked so I'm talking out my rear end here, but I bet it's still jailbreakable, which probably opens up a world of weird little options.

Also, don't forget that Best Buy still gets periodic stock of Pencils and Smart Keyboards in; that's how I got my Pencil, by refreshing the Best Buy website a couple of times a day and ordering as soon as I saw it update. Got it a couple days later.

Stefan Prodan posted:They announced a new ipad air in march to no one's surprise. If it comes out with markedly better speakers and stuff, can't decide if I'll sell my pro and go back to the normal size. I keep thinking I'll get used to how big the pro is but I just keep finding it awkward to use in bed sometimes. This is perhaps a ridiculous suggestion, but I think the Mini is the perfect size for bedtime use, maybe get one of those for the bedroom?

If you're hardcore into note taking (like in school or w/e) it probably isn't great but for small notes and sketches the native Notes app is great.

Call of Cholula posted:Big thread, etc, but what is the recommended 'best keyboard' for the iPad Pro? I have one coming this week and will be stopping by the Apple Store for the Pencil and will pick up the apple keyboard cover if it's still considered to be the best. I vote to go with the Apple Smart Keyboard. Its best feature is that it's so lightweight and thin; I don't think it's hard or unpleasant to type on at all. My singular complaint is that it doesn't have backlighting.

I want to being my iPad mini (obviously) but not my macbook because other than the flight there and back I won't be using it. There are a couple of special drives you can get that work with proprietary apps; there are also those wifi units that come with integrated storage that your iPad can connect to and access data on. But honestly even a 16gb iPad could contain dozens of hours of video footage if you don't insist on 1080p content.
