Don Tacorleone posted: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. I wish they would update the iPod Touch every year instead of this new 2-year refresh thing they've got going.

I pay $25 a month for a cheap-rear end Android phone on Virgin Mobile that I barely use and carry around a 64gb iPod Touch for a great camera, HD recording, games, and web-stuff when on WiFi. I'm the market for the Touch. And I don't want to invest in jorts for a Mini when I have a full-sized iPad at home.

Wario In Real Life posted:Virgin Mobile offers a iPhone 5 on contract for $30. Edit: Actually, if it's month to month as well, then they make you buy the phone, which is still a ton more than an iPod Touch. I use maybe 5 minutes of phone time every month if that. I just can't justify an expensive phone. Edit 2: 64gb iPhone 5 is $584.99 compared to $399.99 iPod Touch (a year after its release). iPod Touch is more comparable to a widescreen 4s, but the 5 is still last year's model. Virgin Mobile, for all its cheap plans, has pretty poo poo coverage, though. Not a recommendation if you want to have a serious big-boy phone. I can see your argument, but it's not an ideal situation. JazzFlight fucked around with this message at 03:35 on Oct 16, 2013 |

Hamburlgar posted:I've not updated my iPad 3 to OS7 as I'm jailbroken on 6.1.2 and and still more than 100% satisfied with it. I really don't see the hate for it. Even with the weaker RAM I have not experienced the tab refreshing you guys keep mentioning. The later iPhones have a different type of RAM, but they're all 1 gig, so the refreshing issue will probably stay at whatever level it is now unless the Air ups the amount (doubtful).

This is annoying me recently (like it might have only started today), but it seems like no one's mentioning it on the internet yet: YouTube is cracking down on the mp4 streams it gives out now and all embedded youtube videos played on iOS devices seem to be the 360p horribly compressed feed with no option to increase resolution without opening the YouTube app or going to their site in a browser. My normal YouTube viewer app, Jasmine, has also been affected and now it can only display the low-res streams. I'm depressed about this change. Am I just the first one to discover this?

I kinda don't like the new Smart Cover (3-fold) over the old one (4-fold) because you can't fold it against itself at the halfway point and make it stick with the magnets anymore. That arrangement formed a natural finger groove, too... I'm trying an accordion-like fold now but it's not as good.

withak posted:With three panels it can't fold into a stand, right? That sounds way worse then the previous smart covers. I find myself completely removing it when I use the iPad for reading or browsing since I can't fold it on itself as a handgrip anymore. Still works well as a stand (either orientation) and protective cover, though.

Endless Mike posted:Actually, it's better at that. On my iPad 3, you could fold into a triangle, but to keep it standing up, you had to have the felt on the outside of the stand. The new Smart Cover has it so the outside of the cover is on the outside of the stand, which makes way more sense. Feenix posted:I would argue it doesn't work well as a stand. With 3 panels all you get is a faint magnetic lock if you get it just right and a slight knock, bump or tug it completely undoes itself.   While you are able to fold it the other way as well, the officially endorsed method is felt outward. That's why it collapses if you push too much on it with the felt inside.

ddogflex posted:Why did they ruin the smart covers?! I'm really way more bummed than I should be about this. I've had the smart cover since the iPad 2 came out and I goddamned loved folding it in half and using it as a grip. With the iPad Air I constantly feel like it's going to slip out of my hands. I'm seriously half tempted to return the iPad and go back to my 3, but my girlfriend would kill me as I already gave it to her. The "smart case" is just as bad as the smart case for the iPad 2/3/4, just now in leather. I used mine for all of 5 minutes and hated it so it's getting returned today. Guess I'm going to deal with the 3-panel smart cover and just hate life. Maybe I'll get use to it eventually? I just hate the idea of holding onto the felt constantly. I'm okay with this because the Air feels like a giant iPod Touch which I use without a case anyway. The lighter weight and smoother corners really makes a difference compared to the iPad 3.

I just traded in an iPad 1 and got $200 gift card in 3 minutes. The guy didn't even turn on the iPad to check if it worked, he just filled out the computer form and added my device to the stack of 6 other iPad 1s that had also been traded in that afternoon. This is a really good deal, goons, and if you want to get the most possible money for your iPad 1, this is your very last chance.

BuckT.Trend posted:What styluses (styli?) are you all using with your iPads? Instead of taking pen-and-paper notes at work, I'm looking to transition to taking them electronically so that I can index and search more easily. I suppose I could get a keyboard for my Air and type up notes in meetings, but since I often need to draw diagrams, sketch floor plans, etc. I think a good stylus/handwriting note app is a better investment.  I know, it's $40, but it's pretty cool how it can transform between stylus (on par with standard Boxwave-style tips) and brush. Of course the brush only makes a single point of contact, so it's mostly an illusion, but it has a nice feel when you're working in apps that create fake brushstrokes.

Hakkesshu posted:This is awful. I have a 3 and everything takes forever to load now. Also you can't play videos in full screen through a HDMI adapter anymore, you just get a black screen with sound. It might not be the most elegant way to get internet video through my TV, but that is still a feature that should loving work, because I never had problems before. Strangely (and fortunately enough), the Crunchyroll app still does video-out through the cable.

How about the bug that Apple introduced in iOS 9 and hasn't patched yet where the Volume Bar doesn't appear if you use a Smart Cover to wake the iPad (until you swipe up from the bottom to access the volume controls, then it's okay until it sleeps again). https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7224014?tstart=0 It was only mildly annoying back in the fall, but I expected them to fix it with their little .1 patches over time and it's still there.

I just posted this in the event thread, but I'm disappointed that the event gave us a $100-more baseline iPad model that has less space than I need and a $149 increase over that to get more space than I'll need. It just bumped all the prices up for a "real" iPad even though it's the natural progression from the last model (Air 2). It's this fake-rear end premium that's tacked on because it's called "Pro." Plus, there's no 64gb option, so the 128gb price at $749 is painful to me. I had wanted to upgrade from my Air 1 64gb model and pass it down the line to my mom who deals with using an iPad 2 still, but that price is just looming over me. EDIT: Hahahaha, just checked the price for their magical keyboard for the 10-inch model: $149 are you kidding get the gently caress outta here! It's never good when a site doesn't list the price and instead makes you click a button called "view pricing." JazzFlight fucked around with this message at 20:05 on Mar 21, 2016 |

A few pages back, someone mentioned that 9.3 fixed the invisible volume controls bug when you wake your ipad with the sleep cover. I'm on 9.3.1 on an iPad Air and the bug is still there. Really, Apple?

Agreed, I'm still painfully on an iPad Air 1, but the fact that this didn't even go to an A13X is making me realize that if I bought now, it would just be as obsolete as the previous model in the coming years. I'm gonna wait yet again...
