we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
the ipad mini was truly prescient

all they have to do is flip a config switch and the LTE model becomes the iphone 7

its still bad. the only new feature is touch id and while that owns its not enough to justify a new model

also the screen on the ipad mini (all of them) is really bad

i didn't need the extra (forced) 32gb and i sure as gently caress wasn't paying an extra £120 on a £270 iPad for touch id, though i do keep pressing the home button and leaving my finger there, staring in vain as it does precisely nothing.

wtf is meant to be wrong with the screen? is this some iyg spec sheet comparison poo poo because it looks fine

idk what you're doing with it but touch id almost always works for me, its actually really good compared to other fingeerprint readers i've had to use

the screen is bad compared to all of the other ipad models which usually have really great screens. the color accuracy and viewing angles on the mini models are garbage but i guess its not really something the typical buyer would really weigh vs. "its a tiny ipad wooo!!"

nah, you misunderstand. touchid works perfectly on my 5s and i've totally gotten used to the convenience, that's why i keep sitting with my finger on the iPad 2

sa for colour accuracy i don't really give a gently caress and how are viewing angles even a thing on a tiny tablet meant to be used by one person? though i did just casually inspect the lock screen at 0 to 90 degrees and it looks pretty much exactly the same
