randyest posted:The battery life is the same. What does "shrunk" mean? The battery is physically smaller, as confirmed by multiple tear downs. Real world battery tests are showing shorter battery life as well (duh). It's still great, but not as great as the air. I'm pretty sure we're all in universal agreement that we'd prefer better batteries as opposed to even thinner devices now?

I want to watch Netflix and play Hearthstone while pooping, but I have to watch Netflix on the 6+ and play Hearthstone on the mini. The 6+ should really just run iPad apps natively, goddamnit.

What's the best PDF reader? iBooks works great as a UI, but the organization is garbage and it bloats file sizes for some reason. I dropped <500mb in and now iBooks is using 2gb, and I need to put like 10 gigs more PDFs on here.

note that you can not turn off moues acceleration on the ipad unless you put it into a keyboard/trackpad combo and then it gives you an option to turn it off. It's loving bizarre but once you set it to off you can use an actual mouse without acceleration.

I really hate the trackpad on the Logitech keyboard case. Takes way too much force to click it and difference amounts of force on different parts. Probably returning it.

anothergod posted:For all other uses - media consumption, reading, gaming, note taking, the internet - the mini is just better. I love the form factor of the mini but all of these are purely up to preference. I certainly prefer video on my pro over my old mini. Reading on the mini is great but I also have a kindle paperwhite that is much better for that in the same size range. The mini is kind of a jack of all trades size for me, it can do everything well, but nothing best.

Depends on the work really. It’s a great supplemental device for photo editing on the couch or traveling but still missing some key things in photoshop/Lightroom. Same with video work. The specs are better than my desktop but the software isn’t there.

I think the base or pro is the way to go right now. Base for best price, Pro for best features/power. Mini if you have a small or older phone or need a smaller form factor just for reading or travel or bed/couch use, but you're paying a big premium for that.

Base ipad will handle all of those just fine and only run you $300. If you do decide to do more with it grab a keyboard/trackpad case and it's about 80% of the way to a pro. the extreme portability goes away as soon as you add a keyboard of any type though (then it's literally just a macbook air form factor).

Speaking of, why is scrolling between home pages on the pro so lovely? You have to very precisely and slowly press and scroll just right to move between them. Also swiping into the alt-tab view kinda sucks.

This is a weird one I’m hoping someone here can help me figure out. The twitch app on my iPad never plays ads. I don’t have turbo or subs, just for some reason the ads never run. I’d like to replicate this on my iPhone where they always play and play immediately on opening a stream. I can even do it side by side on both devices on the same account. iPhone gets an ad, iPad never does. The only adblocker I have on both is Crystal for Safari, but updated to the current version.

Pencil yes. Keyboard no UNLESS you only want to use it exactly in a laptop position and not as a more mobile tablet you can rotate and all normally. I much prefer a folding stand and wireless keyboard but if you mainly use it like a laptop the keyboard is really nice.
