iPad Air 2 and Mini 3

Post by Big Kev »

Touch ID added.
8MP camera if you want to look like a tosser taking pics on an ipad at an event
Tiny bit thinner and lighter.

Original Air slides down the price range which makes it very attractive.
Mini 1 and 2 do the same
32Gb model dropped for 16, 64 and 128 instead.

iOS8.1 out monday
OSX Yosemite out today

and they announced a 27in iMac with a 5120 x 2880 pixel display :fall:

That's pretty good progress in 4 years :O

Nothing for me. I'm really waiting for Apple to dramatically improve iOS on the iPads eg: introducing more OS X stuff into iOS (not saying OS X on the iPad).

Regarding taking pics with iPads, I to thought is was silly until a recently read some comments on a news article where several professional types found productivity increases doing just that. Take photo edit on device send to someone, they reply and the iPad user continues their work.

Stupidly I forgot about the company I work for and some field tech guys are basically doing the same stuff. Some have even reverted back from laptop and digital camera to desktop and iPad. Which says something to me when multi-million dollar projects aren't hindered by staff using tablets.

So the iPad Mini 3 has the same processor as the 2, with Touch added?

Nice work Apple.

Norbs would it be fair to say you love Apple as much as you love blokes on here that used to tounge Webber's arsehole no matter how poor he performed? :D

And yes, the core specs doesn't seemed to have changed. No idea if anything else has.

Oh and why haven't people spoken about Apple's SIM. one step closer to removing the wank that is SIM cards. All that wasted space could be used for better hardware.

I dont like a mob calling themselves innovators and then ripping people off.

I only heard about this from an IT guy at work who was ranting and raving about it. He reckons there is a $99 difference between the 2 models.

And you're right, there is a struck match between the Webber zealots and Apple. :D

I'm pretty surprised by the resolution on the iMac. That will take a lot of horsepower to push that many pixels around.

Righty, this might be of interest to you (link). Norbs, that link isn't for you cause it'll jar with your "innovators and then ripping people off" comment *elbows your ribs* "Aye aye, cheeky fucker I am" :D Narr seriously I agree for somethings then I'll disagree for other parts/things Apple does.
