The first thing that came to my mind after the presentation of the iPad mini 3 is that it Apple made the day before eventoh Despite expectations, the third iPad mini brought nothing but a golden cover and Touch ID, but it is sold at the same price as last year's model, which now sells for €299. The absence of a more powerful processor or a better camera is apparently nothing to deter the technicians at iFixIt from going to Apple Store and they bought it. Of course, only for service purposes, which includes the quite traditional disassembly of the entire product down to the last screw. And what did they find?
One would expect that disassembling the third iPad mini will be the same as last year. But that's not quite true. Although the process is largely the same, the button Touch ID brings with it new problems when disassembling the tablet. As they revealed, the wiring around the new Home Buttonu is made really hastily, and to keep everything together, the cables were glued to the front glass with hot melt glue, which would Steve Jobs as a lover of details (after all iPhone 4 contained a tab for removing the battery!). The fact that they stuck it in the factory Home Button to the glass using glue, increases the cost of replacing a broken windshield, since this button must be peeled off the windshield and glued to the new one. Finally, iPad mini 3 earned the same rating as its predecessor, 2 out of 10, which is again due to the difficult repair of the tablet, which is now thanks to Touch ID even more complicated than before.
This article was written in a hurry, because in the sentence "what would Steve Jobs as a lover of details (after all iPhone 4 contained a tab for removing the battery!)" sounds like a verb to me :-D
Sorry, I dropped the letter again and it is correct that it is "missing" :)
does it bring anything new? the absence of a more powerful processor? .. and what about those benchmarks showing 3 cores with far better performanceonedoes it have 2GB of ram? nothing?
But somehow that's not the case with the iPad. mini, which is what we are talking about here ;)
I noticed that too...my mistake :D
I've been saying this for a long time and I'm sorry to be wrong. Apple goes to the flowers and Steve is turning in his grave and having nightmares. After all, from the new iPhone to the new non-expandable computers to the "new" iPad mini It seems to me that they are just making money and they don't care about the original perfection anymore. The main thing is to keep people coming back. And that they are offered worse and worse things? That doesn't matter, they have a good reputation, but the question is how long their good reputation will last with this approach...
It is only a consequence of the strategy that now Apple has. They have a large 5,5″ iPhone, great iPad Air 2, what is the use of having an excellent iPad mini? It is necessary to direct customers to something that is most advantageous for the company both financially and in terms of production, IMC, etc. Talk like APPLE GOING TO THE FLOWERS, Steve Jobs this, Steve that, don't let them laugh at you...
Well, great. iPad mini They can have a smaller version of the large iPad, just like in the case of MB.
Sandra: just cheap talk, you night wall... I don't understand how I keep getting people to take Steve in my mouth and turn him over in his grave. Focus on yourself and let Steve be Steve.
I have an iPad. Mini 1st generation for two years, I don't have a single reason to upgrade it, I just don't. If it's iPhone The usual period is at least 2 years (due to two-year cycles, I personally have a 4S for three years), for the iPad it will be three or maybe even more years, the device simply works great.
Apple he obviously added what people were missing, such as TouchID and more memory, the performance is already so great. Me personally Retina I don't miss it, if I upgrade, it will be next year.
It's obvious they've shifted resources to iPhone6 Plus, iMac 5K and also want to support the large iPad.
I think it will all click and make complete sense when it arrives Apple Watch… Suddenly it will be ideal to have a smartwatch, a big iPhone (easy to put in your bag, because you will take it out 20 times less often when traveling – you won't even realize how often you look at your phone just to check the time and missed events) and whoever wants to, fills the gap between iPhoneI have a Mac and a large iPad.
And I'm still waiting for the 13″ iPad... Which you're just as excited about as iPhone Plus, they'll charge an extra hundred bucks (so they'll actually subtly raise the prices of iPads a bit). And since the classic iPad has shrunk a lot with the fifth generation, there will be a travel version, and the 13″ iPad will be for home or work... iPad Mini It will end. This is how I see the future :-)
How's that shit going? Apple The flowers are really embarrassing, the same crap every year and record sales every year, that iPad mini they cut because of iphone6+ is probably evident.
Can someone help me please? I don't have to worry about anything (some kind of fraud) when I order ipad air 2 on delivery??
It is nice to have clean and intelligent contributions, not just how it goes apple into the flowers. You turn on your brain before you write anything.
jerrx: As mentioned below, 2GB of RAM and a 3-core processor include only iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3 does not bring any news except Touch ID and golden in color
Last time eventy and products from appThey have disappointed me enough, nothing revolutionary, they are just trying to forcefully release products that they are kind of notapphunting :(
When I watched the iPhone launch, I knew I was going to buy one. iPhone 6, that PLUS was sooo big. Proyou are me Apple raised to a “normal” phone size – Android monsters – “paddles”, they didn’t address me with anything and every time I saw someone making a phone call with a Note for example – it made me smile. BUT! I saw the 6 PLUS for the first time at a midnight sale and within two minutes I was clear. I bought the 6 PLUS and within two days I had my iPad Mini it never turned on. However, I must emphasize that I actually only used it for gaming... So it seems quite logical to me that it was included in the development of the iPad Mini They didn't pour a lot of money into Cupertino, because if the 6 Plus catches on, it will replace it and the classic iPad will develop... So far, everything indicates that this year's version of the iPad Mini is the last one... I think that for serious work, most people will buy just iPad AIR – screen size – desktop – is definitely more comfortable in this case than in Mini and 6 PLUS quite decent iPad Mini seconded …
Otherwise iPhone 6 PLUS is simply BO MBA
@Vito: I can't agree. I was comparing iPhone 6 and 6plus for several tens of minutes and for me the ideal is 6. 6 plus is a monster that falls out of hand, mainly intended for geeks and technically oriented people who know how to use this size (I'm a programmer myself).
6plus can never replace iPad mini. For example, it is too small to browse pages in standard mode; for any work with two hands at the same time (I don't mean typing on the keyboard and zooming). It's an overgrown phone, not a small tablet.
That's Choze - that's my opinion and personal experience - and I actually confirmed it... As you yourself write, the 6 PLUS is not for work, but if we're going to argue on this level, you have to admit that what you wrote about the 6 Plus applies to iPad Mini – if we confront him with iPad Air.... 6 PLUS is bigger, I agree, but it's a matter of habit and choice, that's why there are two sizes on offer. Anyway, the connection in the "non-advanced" Mini version of the iPad and the 6 PLUS seems obvious to me (at least)... I apologize for any typos - I'm writing this from my mobile :)
choze: I wouldn't say that the target group is only geeks. A very large part will be girls. They still carry their phones in their purses, and these giant phones are already very popular with them.
For me personally, Plusko is a clear choice. But I admit that I belong to the group you named (technical geek) :-D
Otherwise, Plusko is great for browsing the web in standard mode. For example, in the evening before going to bed, it's the best thing I've ever used for browsing. AppI had it :-)
Sandra, that's a stupid opinion.
This is such a naive website.
if Apple decided on this solution, it has its reasons, whether practical or economic. It takes an incredibly long time to arrange the production process so that it is automated, and this solution has probably been planned for months.
Sandra: I hope you read!!!! You are completely off! Did someone here wake up and want to be important at all costs see? Buy a Jamtung and without plucking your eyebrows yeah...
