Is the screen of ipad mini scratch resistant?

We've been using iPad original for many years, though I rarely take it outside but it does not mean it alway lays on a soft pillow! Anyhow, it has no scratches on its screen.
However, alot of rumers are out there and no official relieving statement from Apple! rumers that claim iPad mini does not benefit from neigther a gorilla glass nor a simple scratch resistant coating made me using a screen protector which just reduces the image quality and with that on,  i feel more like using the old iPad orignal than this.
I just need a simple answer from an official if I may use it simply with no screen protector like my old iPad.
Regards,

I cannot speak for Apple (they are not here) - only from experience. No scratches on my iPad mini, had it since launch day.

    Hi
    The majority of issues with lines appear to require a new screen or the ribbon connector between the screen and the board is loose. These could be caused by mis-treatment although not always and I'm sure you would have mentioned if you had dropped the BB. So it does seem likely that this app has caused the problem.
    Uninstalling doesn't completely remove an app from the device, hence why it makes no difference. Before sending the device away for service (or fixing a new screen yourself) it will be worth wiping the device and reinstalling the OS. I would be tempted not to reload the problem app, there has been comment on here about the benefits - use the search facility above right if you are interested.

  • IPad Mini scratch resistance same as iPad 3 ?

    Hello
    I'm not sure if the iPad mini has the same scratch resistance as the iPad 3?
    Because the iPad mini uses the same hardware as the iPad 2 and the iPad 2 is known for a "easy scratch glass front" device?!
    Thx for your answers
    Thomas :)

    Yes, and no. Basically the iPad Mini has currently 3 generations. 
    The Second and Third generations also called iPad Mini 2 and 3, have Retina Displays. The First generation one, does not.
    So it could be referring to either, but most likely it does in fact refer to the iPad Mini 2.  (or second generation) that does feature a Retina Display.

  • Appeared white spot on the screen of ipad mini. What can i do?

    A white spot was appeared on my ipad mini screen? Please help

    It's under warranty for one year from the day you bought it.
    It was released on Nov. 2, 2012. If you bought it that day, you are 8 days out of warranty. If you bought it after Nov.10, 2012, you are under warranty (as of today.  Apple should have the sale date if you give them your serial number. If you have the receipt, use that.
    Either way, you should check with Apple and they should give you a new one (original) as a replacement. If you're near a store, make an appointment as soon as possible with the genius bar and bring it in.
    Please do it as soon as possible.
    Hope this helps.

    Thank you for that update.
    I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    And restore it first as a new device, and verify that it works properly, then restore from your backup with the same article below to ensure that it is still working.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

    If it does not work correctly when you set up the phone as a new device, I would next seek service for your iPad:

    Also when I am trying to connect ipad to my windows PC, it shows, your software is up to date and later starts restoring while updating again. Then automatically it stops to update halfway and I have to repeat the process again and again, still in vain.

    Do you clean your iPad screen?  Do not use standard window cleaners, with ammonia or alcohol, like Windex, but a damp towel, followed by a micro-fibre cloth is recommended.  There are also cleaners you can buy which are specifically designed for iPad/iPhone devices, such as iClean from Monster.

    Where can I find the calculator in Ipad mini 2

    There are many, many calculator apps available in the App Store but the one I highly recommend and have used for years is "powerOne Scientific Calculator - Lite, Free". Zero ads, 100% usability.

  • HT5557 I've always been able to see the clock at the top of the screen in iPad iBooks, but the clock has now disappeared unless I tap at the stop of the screen.  How can I get the clock to stay at the top of the screen?

    I've always been able to see the clock at the top of the screen in iPad iBooks, but the clock has now disappeared unless I tap at the stop of the screen.  How can I get the clock to stay at the top of the screen?

    cktan124:   I searched around and found the iPad does not have a PRAM.
    Anyone else want to guess?
    I found many folks here trying to hide of the clock, but I need the clock.  I use a PDF on my iPad for my notes when I am speaking in front of an audience.  I need the clock so I can kep track of time.

  • How is iOS 8.3 on the 1st gen iPad Mini?

    First off, I almost never update my iOS because I'm always terrified it will make my devices sluggish. And since I can't afford to get the latest and greatest Apple upgrade whenever they release a new one it too adds to my anxiety of upgrading iOS software on my older devices.
    I really couldn't find anything about how performance is on the 1st generation iPad Mini. So I'll give you my specs and preferably if someone has experience with at least the same generation and gb then let me know how the upgrade worked out for you. Especially as far as sluggishness goes. Switching apps, etc. Most likely I'll be directly upgrading to iOS 8.3 since I'm still on iOS 7.1.2.
    iPad Mini (1st generation)
    16gb, wifi only
    Uses: Apps, photos, and web surfing
    Songs: 6, Videos: 1, Photos: 750, Apps: 96
    Capacity: 13.4gb
    Available: 1.1gb
    Version: 7.1.2 (11D257)
    Model: MD531LL/A

    I also own a 1st generation iPad Mini and i'll admit iOS 8 doesn't feel as "snappy" as it did with iOS 7. That being said I think it works fine with 8.3 and there has been some major improvements since the first version of iOS 8.

  • Hi Apple friends, my question is regarding, the last iOS 6.1 upgrade, why it include the LTE 4G to the iPad4 and iPad Mini with Telcel in Mexcio, and Why it was not for the iPhone 5?, when Apple will enable this feature LTE 4G on the Iphone5 to Telcel?

    And Apple won't tell you. All they will tell you is what countries are supported for LTE right now. You can express your interest to Apple via their feedback pages, if you wish:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    but you will not receive a reply. It may be waiting on Telcel to approve. They may not feel that their LTE network is robust enough to handle that much load yet. But I'm just guessing. We'll just have to wait and see what develops.
    Regads.
