Do you think it's worth getting an ipad mini or waiting for an ipad(5th gen)

I really like the retina display on the ipad (4th gen) but I also like the portability of the ipad mini.  Do you think it's worth waiting for the ipad (5th gen) or do you think it will still be significantly less portable than a mini despite it being thinner.

There is always a new model coming out, for better or worse. Which means if you always hold out for the newest and 'best' you'll always be waiting.

  • Is it worth getting an ipad mini or wait for next gen?

    I have the money to buy the ipad mini right now, but what I'm wondering is if I should just wait and see if another generation comes out for the mini.

  • Should I get an iPad 2, or wait for the iPad 3?

    From what I have heard there will be an iPad 3 by the end of the year, so should I presume that this is true, or should I ignore the rumours and get an iPad 2 considering they were just upgraded.

    "found this out" is totally inaccurate. There are no facts to "find out", only rumors, most of which have been false and/or contradictory.
    If you go into the store and ask for an iPad 2 they will you give the upgraded one.
    Wrong; totally wrong. Apple still sells the iPad 2, and if you ask for one, that's what you'll get. Whether the local stores are stocking iPad 2s I don't know, but it's definitely sold as a different model.
    You are free to believe whatever rumors you wish to believe, but there is no indication from Apple that they have plans for any new model of iPad the rest of this year, and such a release would be completely out of their normal pattern. We obviously can't say for certain, though, so it's not impossible; Apple's broken pattern before. If you wish to wait, that's up to you.

  • When is the iphone 5s coming out? Is it this year 2013 or next year 2014 because I was thinking should I just get the iphone 5 or wait.

    When is the iphone 5s coming out? This year or next year because I was thinking should I just get the iphone 5 or wait.

    Since iOS 7 is due to be released in the fall I would say you would see a new iPhone at the same time.

  • Do you think Best buy would let me exchange my mbp 13 for the newer model?

    I just bought an open box mbp 13 from best buy on march 28th and now I see they have this new mbp with 2gb more ram and a better video card, not to mention double the hdd. I know they have a 14 day return policy, but do you think they would let me exchange the one I got for the newer one? Or is there some kind of exchange program through apple?

    That is just it I only got the usual 10% open box discount. Where I live you have two choices, the apple store (same 10% discount, if they have an open box, which they never did). Best buy also 10% off if open box. Still $100 is $100. But yeah $100 is not going to put me at 4gb ram, better video card, although it could get me a way better hdd then the newer model hehe. Really though that is the least of my worries. See I do photo editing of large raw files in Photoshop so memory and video card upgrades would be great. Oh well no use crying over spilled milk. Im just feeling like cinnamon toast crunch, because I could have got these upgrades for way less then what they will cost me for free virtually. Not too mention the video card is not even a possible upgrade.

    how do i get a wifi connection at home for my ipad from a imac

    If you have a wired connection to the iMac and you are asking about using the iMac for the Internet connection for the iPad, you will need to use Internet Sharing on the Mac.
    No clue which OS version you run on the Mac, but here is a link to help with 10.6 and this will get you started. You can Google " Internet sharing with Mac OS ...." and come up with a number of support articles.

  • Hi, please help me , i get notification about a new update for my iPad when I do the instal for the new version it is asking me for a passcode but which passcode may I have to enter? Because when I enter my gmail passcode it is call me that my pass fail

    The passcode you need to enter is the passcode you set on your device. It is the passcode that you enter when you turn on your iPad or awaken it from sleep after and Auto lock.
    If you do not know or remember your password and did not store it somewhere then you will have to restore your device.

  • How can i get an older version of Ibooks for my Ipad 1?

    how can i get an older version of Ibooks for my Ipad 1?
    Since I have Ibooks 3.0.2 I can't start Ibooks on my Ipad1.

    For iBooks try downloading the current version on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history. Then on your iPad go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if you can download an older compatible version of it.
    You can also try similar for the Kindle app - I don't know whether Amazon have made older versions of their app available in the store, so it may not work for that. If not, then as a work-around you could use their cloud reader 'app' : http://read.amazon.com - go to that site on Safari on your iPad and then create a homescreen shortcut for it (kindle cloud reader help)

    You can't do a backup of icloud to an external drive.  In fact, does your post have anything to do with icloud (you're in the icloud forum)?
    What kind of "system backup" are you doing?  Are you using Time Machine?

    If you have an early iPad 1G it won't run iOS 6 or later. You're running the latest version of iOS - 5.1.1.
    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

    I have tried everything I could to fix this, but some things require actually being on Firefox, and since I cannot get on, I cannot click on the tabs to do it. I have even totally uninstalled firefox, and that has not fixed this. I still get the same message that firefox is running and I need to close it or restart (which I have also tried dozens of times). I have removed things like Java, and that has not helped either. If I cannot even get on line in firefox, how can I fix this. I am not crazy about using internet explorer, but right now, it is my only option. I even tried to start in safe mode, and the same message box pops up!
