hypersleep posted:You know, I don't even look at animated GIFs that much, but the poor performance of GIFs on iOS is baffling. Sometimes they work just fine. Sometimes they don't. Why? I don't have any loving clue, and sometimes I wonder if Apple's devs have a clue. Must be some programming issue, the Tumblr app used to choke to death on gifs, and now it works just fine. Actually I think the Awful app ground to a halt on pages with lots of gifs too, and now it works fine, maybe ask them.

digitalcamo posted:I have no experience with a Mac or ipad besides my iPhone. I'm interested in getting an ipad but I have not the slightest clue which model. I'm learning how to program in Python and would like to practice writing code on my lunch breaks and maybe some school work. Are iPads good for these types of activities? If so could you recommend a model to me? For programming, a MacBook would be way, way nicer. You can certainly do some programming on the iPad, but the MacBook would give you so many more options. Xcode, for one, which is a really nice piece of software. If you're set on the iPad, why not wait a couple of months? The new one is likely to be announced on sept 10th.

Endless Mike posted:Yeah, I have an iPad 3, but all I really use it for now is comic reading, so I'm not sure if I'll bother to upgrade until they no longer give OS updates (so I guess iPad 6 will be my next one!). I'm still using my OG ipad as a comic reader and it works perfectly fine (not so much with PDFs to tell the truth), so that's a lot of processing power you're not using. Definitely no need to upgrade if that's all you use it for!

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. If the Mini skipped a generation, Apple probably got a huge rear end discount on ordering A7's - the Ipad5, the 5S and possibly the mini (Oh and the iWatch  ) would be using it. That's millions and millions of A7 chips. Wonder what's with this push for 64-bit all of a sudden.

I would honestly feel personally slighted if the new Mini did not have Retina display. Aren't there a bunch of other brand tablets with higher resolutions already? The Mini was already a disappointment when it was released without Retina, there's no way they do it again. I wonder if it will come in gold color too...

I hope the next iPad is more than "It's the Mini thin bezel but bigger and somewhat faster". If it isn't, I still need a new one, but would be cool if they added some new feature that separated it from the old one. Maybe even thinner, or a new screen or something. Last year they re-introduced Mac Minis, and some new Retina Macbooks, so maybe product updates for those, maybe a mention for the Darth Vader Mac, and again, no iWatch rumors at all, so probably nothing on that front. OSX Mavericks is GM already so they'll likely have it available same day or same week. With Windows 8.1 being free from Microsoft for certain customers, I wonder if Apple will still charge 19.99 for Mavericks, go lower, or maybe even release it for free (!) So anyway, fill those 2 previous paragraphs with superfluous poo poo to hit 550 words and you have a gizmodo article.

For those of you unfortunates with a 16gb iPad, how much free space did it have out of the box? Work wants to buy a few 16gbs, I wonder if I could make a case for 32gb? Main purpose will be taking on the job photos, keeping a small database, catalog, etc. Photos wouldn't take more than 10gb or so. No music or more than a few extra apps.

smackfu posted:Here's a discussion point for y'all: if they release an iPad mini Retina, will they still sell the old iPad mini and just charge more for the Retina? Previously I would've guessed definitely not, since it's both old and slow, but who knows these days. I'd still guess no but I wouldn't be surprised after the iPad 2's continued success. If I had to wager, I'd say both ipad2 and iPad mini OG will be shown the door. One week to find out!

edit: ^^^^^^ Scratch that, you're talking about the iPad Mini, who the gently caress knows what they have in store for that. But regarding the regular iPad: I'm almost willing to bet they'll have an A7X on the regular iPad, there's no way they put an iphone processor in there. Also there's no leaks of the front of the next iPad yet, so I'm wondering if they'll have the fingerprint reader. Aphrodite posted:People bought the iPad Mini. People also bought Nexus tablets... While there's this fantasy that Apple can package Tim Cook's feces in a cool marketing campaign and "Apple Sheeple" will preorder it at 12:00am and form lines, it's just not true outside of a very small core of Apple faithful. All it takes is a very small fuckup to tarnish their image. Apple's market is harder to reach and much more rewarding financially, but they can lose this market share just as easily as any other company if they gently caress up. Hell, they haven't noticeably hosed up since Steve died, and Samsung is more of a competitor than ever, just based on "We're (somewhat) cheaper and have better specs!".

Dr. Video Games 0050 posted:For his mom the mini is not out of date. I'm sure your mom would love a mini  But the new one is so much better looking in the screen department, and faster, why not? But for an older, classy lady like his mom, I'd say the iPad 4 is the right choice, due mostly to larger screen (Easier on the eyes). Overall, the OG's mini screen was crappy for my middle aged peepers, it would just be cruel for an older person's eyes.

Since the new Air doesn't seem to have any major manufacturing processes that weren't already solved with the OG Mini and previous iPad gens, I'd probably trust those rumors that it will be widely available, as compared to for instance the Gold 5S. I'm picking one up as soon as possible.

I'm getting an Air to read comic books too, because the Mini annoys me with all the pointing and dragging you have to do to fit panels and so on. It's just nicer to have the whole page (or almost) and not continuously have to focus on moving the image around. Feenix posted:I just want you all to know that despite not being an incredibly wealthy household, we're not selling any of our 2 current iPads as I get an Air. This is all awesome.

obi_ant posted:So I'm planning to use my future iPad for mostly the comic book reading. Do you guys think that 16 gigs would be enough space? I've had an iPhone for a number of years now and I've never need to add space. Typically I get the eight gig or the 16 gig. Not only no, but gently caress NO. Even if you're an obsessive space managing nerd, if you want to read comic books have at least a 32gb (I have a 64gb but I have a shitload of comics). 16gb will only be enough for a few issues which you'll likely burn through.

This is not the Macbook thread, but you're a loving idiot if you think the burn in in the Macbook Pro retina wasn't bad. Even 5 minutes of staring at a youtube video leaves the white edges showing when you switch to another screen. If there are rumors of the Retina Mini getting this burn-in, I'd rather wait instead of buying one at release.

Star War Sex Parrot posted:Did you know: some screens were worse than others? Calm down. Sure, which is why I'm complaining about mine and being wary of reports of bad retina screens in the new Mini. When I got my RMBP I researched the Samsung vs LG retina screen debate, and I dismissed it due to idiots like that guy going "it's not that bad!". Welp, 10 months later my screen is burn-in central (Yes, it's an LG). I'm saying, just because it's Apple, they can gently caress up too even in their high end stuff, and idiots like me who swallow the company line of "It just works" can get burned too. Going "You should've got AppleCare with that 2k device" is a whole another discussion I'm not getting into. Anyway, consider me calm, I'll drop it here, and if anyone's curious about how bad the burn-in in my screen, you can ask me in PMs. I'm not some OCD color designer, my eyesight is pretty poor, so when even I notice it, it's really bad.

Just got home with a new SPACE Grey iPad Air. Not much to say that hasn't been said, this thing is awesome and I much prefer it to the mini. It's light but it's not "Well gently caress me up the rear end and call me a bitch" light, you know? If you're on an iPad 3 or earlier, this thing is absolutely worth it. Edit: aaaaand just experienced my first crash to Apple logo, like a soft reset. Cool. Hadn't seen it on ios7, just checked and it already has iOS 7.03, weird Comfy Fleece Sweater fucked around with this message at 08:45 on Nov 13, 2013 |

After a few days of owning my iPad Air, I have absolutely no complaints, except that I can't legally marry it. Seriously it's such an upgrade from an OG iPad. Usually after buying some electronic device I discover some tiny detail that bugs me, but this time - nothing. What an excellent loving piece of tech, highly recommend it. I hated the iPad mini 1st gen if that matters.

I've never seen it while using the iPad normally (I've only had the thing a couple of days though) and knowing it's there doesn't bug me too much. Am I right in saying it isn't permanent and won't damage my device? There's an Apple store nearby but, y'know, feels a bit wasteful gunning for a replacement if it's unnecessary. It's only going to get worse, so plan for a return. They certainly don't get better.

I'd highly recommend asking for a proper screen, as I said, it only gets worse. They should exchange it no questions asked, no idea about their stock but you paid for a properly functioning device and you really shouldn't let something like that pass.

For some reason, my iPad will just never flip to HD, even though if I have my iPhone or laptop in the same room on the same connection, they will begin streaming in HD near instantly. I'm not sure if it's a problem with my iPad or network what, but when every device in my home except my iPad can stream HD netflix just fine, it's a bit odd. Amazon Prime Video HD streams perfectly as well. Just tested it and it went to HD after 30 seconds or so, so yeah. Might be your connection?
