skipdogg posted:Good guy move. My kid has an iPad 2 and it does everything we ask of it. It irritates me it's the only device left in the house with a 30 pin connector, but that's such a minor issue I feel silly even typing it out. I'm not going to lie. I have thought about replacing my iPad 3 with the next new one just because of the 30-pin connector. I am an idiot.

Mu Zeta posted:I love my 5th gen iPod Touch. 32gigs holds nearly all my music and the battery lasts forever. I guess not many people have an iPhone dedicated for apps/phone calls and an iPod just for music though. But yeah I carry both every day. Why not get a 32GB iPhone? Genuinely curious. Having both seems like a colossal waste of money.

I wanted to replace my 3 with the Air, but the lack of Touch ID nixed that idea. Sucks because I'd love to move off the 30-pin connector for my 2 devices. Maybe next year.

Cool. Enjoy your new iPad. It was a deal-breaker for me though. I think it's extremely useful. I hate typing my PIN in every time.

Star War Sex Parrot posted:My iPad 4 had a wake-lock or something today, which I've never encountered before in iOS. I had it in my bag all day, went to use it at ~5 PM and the thing was warm and had burned it's battery down 70%. It shouldn't have had any apps backgrounded either because it was freshly rebooted when I tossed it in my bag this morning. Do you use some sort of cover to it? When I travel with mine, I stick it in a backpack as well. I use a Smart Cover, and it seems that as the bag moves around, it unlocks/locks the iPad repeatedly every time it gets jostled. I noticed my battery went down a big quicker than normal when it does this.

WithoutTheFezOn posted:$125 regularly. $200 is the minimum for this promotion, which ends on the 9th. Check all models here: http://targettradeinprogram.com/search/1/cat/ipads/ For my 64gb iPad 3 wifi, the Amazon trade-in is much better. Target is offering $205 and Amazon is offering $285 if it's in Like New condition, $256 if it's Good. e: I guess the program benefits everyone with an iPad 1 the most since there's that $200 minimum.

I'm debating upgrading my 3 to an air. I'm really not a huge fan of not having the touch ID stuff, but the $75 apple credit is tempting me. Is the lack of a RAM bump that obvious? I've seen a lot of people complaining about safari reloading pages left and right. Is this a thing?

Thanks for the replies. Two more questions. Does TMobile still do the free 200mb/month thing? Of so, are there any catches or is it as straight forward as it seems? Can you use a TMobile iPad on any of the other LTE networks if you get an appropriate SIM?

eddiewalker posted:How are the Amazon Basics lightning cables? I've been thinking about getting the 6ft amazon cable to keep in my work luggage, but maybe a cheap genuine one and a slim USB extension would be better. They're great, I have a few. My only complaint is the plastic part on the connector is wider than the standard Apple ones, so if you use a case with a plug cut-out, you may have to do some xact-o knife surgery on your case.

kitten smoothie posted:The TouchID convenience is worth well more than that, but then again I get my work email on mine and I hate entering a passcode six times a day. You have to be careful though, as it depends from company to company. Mine (giant tech megacorp) disables TouchID for any iOS devices you want your work email/calendar on, and requires you to enter an alphanumeric password vs a simple 4-digit PIN.

Vinlaen posted:What is my best option (besides the trash) for fixing a cracked screen on a very old iPad 2? Apple wants $249.99 which is pretty laughable. I had my sons iPad 2 fixed by some local place for like $99. It worked great... until he cracked the screen a second time. I didn't get it fixed again, so now he has to just deal with half the screen not recognizing touch. I think I just found the place on Craigslist or something. Since it's an iPad 2, you don't have to worry about it voiding the warranty.

What the gently caress do I keep hitting while typing, that automatically selects all my text or the whole line and without noticing it, I type over all my text? This is pissing me off so much.

I've been on the 15.6 beta track for my Ipad Air 2. Over the past few weeks, with build #19G5027e, my wifi icon will show in the upper right for a spit second, then disappear. If I go into wifi settings, it shows I'm connected to my router (or tethering my phone), but I can't get any network whatsoever. I'm pretty sure I'm behind on 15.6 public builds since I hardly ever use this slow piece of poo poo, but it won't let me update due to no network connection (even though it shows connected in settings). Is there a way to upgrade public betas via iTunes? Just from googling, it looks like I'm on 15.6 PB1? I have tried doing a hard reset (not wipe), and resetting network settings, forgetting my network, turning off private addressing on my router, etc, but nothing works.

Great, now I'm getting an "unknown error" when either trying to update with the beta IPSW, or restoring to factory defaults. Guess it's toast until 16.0.

Last Chance posted:Do you mean 15.6 final? Because the iPad Air 2 ain't getting iPadOS 16 Ha, poo poo, I forgot about that. It's pretty annoying how insanely loving slow this thing has been since like OS 13/14. Like, it's next to unusable for anything besides letting my toddler look at google images of sharks. I certainly don't use it for anything except maybe for watching the kids in the back yard in the Ring app while I make dinner or something. Anyway, apparently mashing restore/update to retry 250 times, it eventually went through and worked. Setup even asked if I wanted to continue using the public beta track when I selected to restore from my PB1 backup.

Yeah I thought it might be a hardware issue since it’s so old, but it didn’t start to happen until 15.6 PB1. Setup updated me to PB3, and my wifi has been connected for realsies this time and downloading my backup. e: well poo poo, it’s happening again after I restore my backup. gently caress.

Laserface posted:I was all geared up to replace my OG ipad Air with a 5th gen and then i had to go and use an ipad pro and see 120hz I’ve got an Air 2 that’s forever old and no longer gets updates. I’m shocked it ever received iOS 15 because it’s painfully super loving slow beyond comprehension. It regularly takes 2-5 minutes to even connect to Wi-Fi after a clean boot. It’s basically only used as a kid entertainment device these days because it’s so slow. Target has the low end 9th gen for $250 and I’m strongly considering it because the Air 2 is so loving bad these days.

Well, I got a $270 iPad gen 9 yesterday to replace my Air 2 that has been absolute dogshit for the past 4 years or so of iOS updates. It took an eternity to open literally anything on it. It’s nice actually being able to type on a keyboard without crazy lag.
