Benchmark scores of the iPad Air & iPad Mini are odd.

Go to this page below:
http://gfxbench.com/result.jsp?benchmark=gfx30&data-source=1&version=all&test=54 6&text-filter=&order=median&os-Android_gl=true&os-iOS_gl=true&arch-ARM=true&arch -x86=true&base=device
Notice anything odd? I do. Why is that iPhone 5S is at the top of the benchmark score chart & iPad Air and iPad Mini Retina which both have the same hardware as the 5S (but more powerful) are nowhere to be seen next to it. In fact, The devices are actually on page 3 with lacklustre scores compared to the mobile phone ._.
The same can be said for any of the benchmarks too.. I've even done all of the benchmarks on my own iPad Air & it's very true, iPhone 5S (a mobile phone) is getting way better scores than the iPad tablets.
Can somebody please explain to me *** is going on with these scores? 'cause I'm confused. Upon doing research, I've found that the Apple A7 in the iPad Air & iPad Mini devices are essentially the same but more powerful than 5S cause of the slightly higher clock-speed & more spacious thermal headroom in the tablets.. So I fail to see why the 4S is getting vastly more impressive scores in any of the benchmarks.

True.. I do believe you have a point there, iPad Air & iPad Mini Retina both run all of these benchmark tests in Retina (2048x1536) resolution compared to all of the other mobile devices on the chart running them at far lower resolutions.. so of course the scores on the tablets aren't going to be as competitive.
Having said that, for reasons unknown.. Quite a few memory/performance issues currently plague the two iPad tablets on iOS 7.0.4 so I believe we'll see more truthful scores once iOS 7.1 releases which I've found (via watching YouTube vids of the new beta firmware in action) supposedly fixes the issues.
We'll see, I guess.

The iPad mini 4 will be a lot like a smaller iPad Air 2

I am trying to migrate my citrix server and when I install remote desktop licensing the service never appears. So When I go into licensing manager, it says there may be an issue with the service. Does anyone know how to fix this?

It's usually the iPhone that dominates Apple's earnings reports but let's not forget about the iPad: if new reports out of Asia are to be believed we might get three new fruit-flavoured slates before Christmas.The leaked tips centre around the iPad mini 4, which sources say will be a shrunken iPad Air 2, complete with an A8 processor and an 8MP iSight camera. The dimensions will be the same as the iPad mini 3 except for the thickness, dropping to 6.1mm from 7.5mm.You may remember the rather underwhelming launch of the iPad mini 3, where Apple added Touch ID and very little else. This time around the upgrade looks much more substantial.Three's a crowdThe report also mentions the iPad Pro, the super-sized iPad that Apple has been rumoured to be building for several years. Apparently it will come out alongside the iPad Air 3 and the iPad...

Are the chargers for the iPad air and the iPad mini interchangeable?

My wife has the IPad air and I have the iPad mini. Are the chargers and cables interchangeable ?

Yes, the cables are identical. As I recall, the Mini comes with the less powerful charger. You can use it to charge your Air but it will charge more slowly. You can use the Air's charger with either device.
Best of luck.

Does the iPad mini/air wifi cellular version carry worldwide 1 year warranty?

My point is the iPads wifi+cellular version is worldwide warranty? Why apple states below on web?

Shall I buy the iPad mini 2?

So essentially, I wanted a smaller portable iPad that I could pop in my bag and carry it wherever I want. At home, I have the larger macbook pro so if it's movies I want to watch, i normally just tend to watch them on there. This iPad would be for university and even though, I have the macbook, I could watch the occasional movie or two on something smaller.
This is why I wanted the iPad mini 2 and since I wanted it in black and that I wasn't overly impressed with the touch ID that I have on my phone, I'm bypassing the iPad 3. I'd much more prefer to spend the money I'm saving from choosing the mini 2 than the 3 on an extended warranty.
My problem is, since the iPad 2 was released this time last year in 2013, will it be discontinued any time soon? The iPad mini 3 was released in October a few months ago, it was disappointingly bad. Considering the rumours of the mini series being discontinued, is it still wise to buy the iPad mini 2? Will it still receive the software support, in allowing it to use future ios system. I really do love the small size of it but if there's a big chance it'll be discontinued, I'm not sure if im better suited to buying an air 2 even though id hate the size.
I'd appreciate any help on the matter.

No one can predict what Apple will do. If you need/want the iPad at this point in time, purchase it and use it.
If you don't need nor require the Touch ID (fingerprint scanner) that the iPad mini 3 has over the iPad mini 2, you can save yourself $100 and go with the mini 2. As you probably know, the mini 2 and the mini 3 are identical in specs and hardware *except* for the Touch ID sensor.
I was in the same situation when I heard of the mini 3...I was set to buy one (in addition to an already owned mini 2) until I saw the (negligible) differences in hardware and the price premium for that difference. I bought a second mini 2.

TS1702 I cannot get the keyboard to come up on the ipad mini when in the citrix receiver. Has anyone ran into this and do you know how to fix it?

I cannot get the keyboard to come up on the ipad mini when in the citrix receiver. Has anyone ran into this and do you know how to fix it?

I am not familiar with Citrix Reciever but is it possible it is open or being used in another open app?
Try quitting all apps then try again.
Quit all apps: Double tap the Home button and swipe the app preview page up for each open app

I use Verizon Fios as my ISP. I am not able to set up verizon yahoo mail on my mini. I had set it up previously on my apple laptop and my iPad, but it does not work on the iPad mini. Also this morning it stopped working on the other apple devices.

I am currently using Verizon Fios as my ISP. I had my mail set up as verizon yahoo mail. I was attempting to set up my iPad mini to get my mail under apple mail. I have that working under my iMac, iPad, and apple notebook. I have not been able to get it to sync on the iPad mini. can you tell me the proper settings.

really your going to want to contact verizon to get the proper setting

Just got the iPad mini. Why can't I view my Facebook profile? (I'm using the Facebook app) I can open my News Feed but when I go to my page, it comes out with a notice "page doesn't exist, or you don't have permission to view this page" HELP!

It's frustrating to not be able to view my own Facebook page using the iPad mini. I have the iPad 1 and the Facebook app works fine there, I can see my personal FB page with 1. Is this characteristic of the iPad mini only?

Try this:
Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).
If none of those work, delete the app and install it again.

APPS ON THE ipAD mINI OPEN AND THEN IMMEDIATELY CLOSE. i'VE TRIED REBOOTING BUT STILL HAVE SAME RESULT

APPS ON THE iPAD MINI BRIEFLY APPEAR TO OPEN AND THEN IMMEDIATELY CLOSE. already TRIED REBOOT BUT SAME ISSUE.

Have you tried a reset? Hold down Home and On/Off buttons, ignoring slider until you see the Apple logo. Then release the buttons. The device will reset--you will lose no data. Please don't shout--using all caps is not only rude but it is hard to read.

I have tried back ups and restoring, resetting, and even updating the pages app. And nothing has worked.

Given the size and of the iPad Mini Wider is better. Why don't Apple design the next iPhone to be a bit wider?

After using one of the competition's wide screen phone, I found myself using it more then my iPhone. Though it wasn't as good of a user experience as my iPhone, the wider viewing display grabbed my attention. Viewing video content on their wider phones, sadly is much better in my opinion. The reason, the content that display at an 16x9 ratio. Wider is the way to go, truth to this is found in Reviews regarding the new iPad mini. The iPad mini has been said to have a perfect size screen when viewing content and playing Multitouch games. It has a better screen resolution as compared to it competitor. The iPad 3 and 4 have gorgeous Retina displays. Why not have a wider iPhone that's both thin and wider so we can enjoy our digital media we've purchased from Apple to have that same comfort level we get from the iPad? Having a display to be available at a resolution that's at a 16x9 Ratio is better regarding content. I love the iPhone, we need to finally go wider on the iPhone. Content viewing is being effected by the screen size on such a magnificent device. If Apple posted up a vote regarding their content displayed on their iOS devices, I'm sure people would agree that the resolution found on the iPad and iPad mini are much superior when viewing Apple's video content then from what you get from both the iPhone and iPod Touch. Not because they are smaller, it's the width of the screen then the mire size. Apple's video content is around about an 16x9 ratio as like most if not all of the content found on iTunes and the Apps store. I've found myself wanting an iPad mini as a substitute to my iphone. Wider viewing is best for Apple's video content, working documents and game play. I would surely be happier with a wider screen phone then to travel with both devices to be able to enjoy my media.

I don't know why you wasted your time and bothered to post this in a user to user technical forum.

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key and due to an injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She is using a text to speech app to verbaliz

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.
