Reading ebooks on the iPad mini retina does it work outdoors?

I am about to buy an ipad mini with retina display. I would like to know how well this works as an ebook reader, especially outdoors.

Backlight screens such as on the iPad do not work well in bright sunshine. They get washed out. If you plan to use your reader outdoors frequently, you may wish to instead consider one of the "e paper" based readers such as the standard Kindle readers (not the Kindle Fire) that operate by reflected light rather than a backlight. If you have an Apple Store or dealer near you that opens directly to the outdoors rather than being in a mall, visit one and ask one of the sales associates if they can show you how the iPad's screen looks outdoors so you can judge for yourself.
Regards.

    Does the iPad mini retina camera app have the panorama feature?

    Panorama is only available for iPhone 4S and later, not iPad mini. Instead, you can do panorama photos with applications from the App Store

  • Is the resolution on the iPad mini retina better than any other retina?

    The 1st gen iPad mini had the same resolution as ipad 2. Becasue the mini is smaller than the 2 the pixels were denser.
    So my question is... Is the resolution on the iPad mini retina better or denser than other retina screens found on other devices?
    Thanks

    Try resetting the iPad (hold the home and power buttons down until the Apple logo appears).

  • Auto brightness of iPad mini retina is not working after 7.1.1 update

    Auto brightness of my iPad mini retina has stopped working after iOS 7.1.1 update.
    The brightness neither automatically reduces nor does it increases as per the change in ambient light conditions.
    I have ensured that auto brightness is ON still nothing seems to happen. Pl help.

    I had to turn off website restrictions to get it to work.

  • Auto-Brightness on iPad mini Retina is not working properly.

    Hello! Noticed that the Auto-Brightness on iPad mini Retina is not working properly.
    It works correctly only when such a dark place, then unlock the iPad brightness will be at a minimum. Likewise, if unlock iPad in a room with light, the brightness will adjust to the surrounding space.
    If I turn light into a dark room, the brightness slider does not move, and stands on the site. Checked on the iPhone 5S, there problems are not present. Auto Brightness is working correctly.
    P.S. Sorry for my bad english!

    iPad audio output does not work, except for on Siri. The mute button is not on, and the volume buttons have no effect/ don't work (unless Siri is open). I have reset the iPad, tried iOS7 and iOS8 resets, which didn't help.
    iOS 8 isn't even out yet. If you are running iOS 8, I assume you are a developer and if you are, you are in the wrong forum to try to get help. If you are not a developer and you're running iOS 8, maybe that's why you are having problems on the iPad.
    The audio output mostly works when headphones are out in, but has a tendency to cut out from time to time. Without headphones, Audio might start working again briefly from time to time, but most the time it doesn't.  Any ideas on what is wrong with it and how to fix it?
    The type that I made bold doesn't make sense. Is this a typo and you mean that " headphones are not in"?
    I did take it to an Apple Store, but the inncorrectly insisted that my speaker was bust and it would cost £250 to replace the whole iPad!
    And you know they are incorrect because you get sound here and there from time to time? That fact doesn't prove that something isn't working correctly inside. You could very well have a bad connection inside the device causing this, but somehow you seem to know that's not the case.

  • What is "Assisted GPS" on the iPad and how does it work?

    What is "Assisted GPS" on the iPad and how does it work?

    I purchased the iPad mini Wi-Fi & Cell because it has GPS. OK, it is assisted GPS but the GPS works very well as stand alone. I got the iPad mini for use in flight, so I dont even have a sim card in it. The GPS works perfectly in flight under all conditions. I have cross checked it against typical approved aircraft installations and it is very accurate at all times. I use it in Wi-Fi mode on the ground when updating my aviation database, when planning a flight, or similar circumstances. The primary advantage of A-GPS is quick location reading when first turned on, when on the ground where the GPS satellites signal may be of reduced quality. At 10,000 feet plus, it is a stand alone GPS. I have frequently turned the iPad off in flight for periods of time and when powering up, it gave me accurate positioning in a few seconds, never exceeded 10 seconds. I have also tested my iPad on the ground, using the aviation maps, and the GPS works perfectly also.
    It remains possible that there is some feature that enhances the GPS when on the ground, even if there is no sim card in the iPad. But I doubt that any of these would work in an aircraft at high altutide. Nonetheless, I would appreciate knowing more about this.

  • Ipad displays "ipad is disabled connect to itunes", I have tried putting the ipad into recovery mode and then restoring but that does not work. I have also tried doing a hard reset of the ipad and that does not work either. Any ideas?

    My son let one of his friends use his ipad. The next time he tired to use it he could not get it unlocked, I tired to unlock it but it kept telling me that I had the wrong pass code. With out me knowing my son continued to tire until it completely disabled it self.

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Does the iPad mini retina wifi only come with GPS?

    I want to use the wifi mini retina with Garmin Pilot, an aviation app. Does the wifi only version come with GPS installed or do I have to get a 4G/LTE version?

    You need the 4G/LTE version. The WiFi version does not have GPS.

  • Will the Tech21 Impact Mesh for iPad mini fit on the ipad mini retina

    I am wondering because I am thinking of buying a new ipad mini retina but the case I like the most is only the original ipad mini. So will the small thickness increase make it not useable.
    I know about the microphone issue on the retina ( there is also one one the back where as there was not one on the back of the ipad mini original.

    For sure? No. Seeing as how no one has seen a new mini in person. However checking the specs there is a .3 millimeter size difference, there shouldn't be a huge issue.

  • Is it normal that the iPad mini Retina iPhone 5S and different color display?

    Yes, they have slightly different colors, just like the iPad Air and the Retina Mini will differ.

  • Is the iPad Mini Retina screen the same as an iPad Mini screen?

    So my iPad Mini Retina fell between my bed and the wall and one corner cracked. I know right? Stupidest thing ever.
    The crack is not that bad, but I still want it replaced since I bought it 3 weeks ago and saved up foreverrr and it's a shame it cracked
    I want to order my screen on eBay, and I was wondering if I buy a screen for iPad Mini 1 would it still be the same for iPad Mini Retina?
    Thaanks.

    If you replace the screen on your device, which is under warranty, you will void your Apple Warranty.  Apple will not replace the screen, but they will offer an out of warranty replacement for about 1/2 the cost of the device when you bought it.  At least you'd still have your warranty intact. 

  • HT3476 which is the real tonnage - capacity of the ipad mini retina 64gb?

    i bought the ipad mini rhetina 64gb and when i opened it i saw that the tonnage - capacity is 56,60GB
    why?
    by the way i bought it totaly closed with gelatin and packed with all apple details from apple store. but i discover when i opened it that the battery was charged 85% and the itunes was already inside the ipad without me have downloaded it before.
    pls inform if i have bought brand new ipad mini retina or it is second hand??

    The difference between the advertised 64 GB and 56.60 GB is taken up by the operating system since that storage space is not available to the users. Also, some of the difference is doe to how GB is advertised and repotted
    How Mac OS X and iOS report storage capacity
    BTW, this is the Mac Mini (desktop computer) forum

  • What are the best memory management actions for the ipad mini retina.

    I purchased an ipad mini retina 16 GB. I am concerned with all the capabilities of this device that 16 GB will not be sufficient· So I am asking for suggestions regarding effective memory management techniques·

    Thanks. Good common sense advice which I will apply as as much as possible·I dont plan on stroring a lot of videos but with IOS 7 apps are so good that it will be difficult to limit the numbers used. Also I will be using it for photo display but I will move photos regularly to my pc for long term storage

  • Does the ipad mini retina have a gps chip?

    I do not find this info under the specifications, consequently, I suspect that it does not. I'm willing to buy one, if they do.

    Only the cellular versions of iPads have GPS chip.
    So the Mini retina with Cellular does have a GPS chip yes.
    The Wifi only version does not.
