The iPad Air 2 anti-reflective coating is useless with a screen protector.

This is more of a statement than a question, but until Apple sells an iPad with a sapphire display, I'll be using a screen protector. Screen protectors negate the anti-reflective coating, leaving you with a screen that is just less bright and less power efficient than the previous generation. Pretty lame, huh? (There's my question!)

Educate yourself a bit before you attempt to answer for the general public.

I see you're a Steelers fan, so you're probably not the sharpest tool in the shed, but see if you can read the entire page. The only drastic improvement over the iPad Air display is the anti-reflective coating.
Er, uh..."Wow!"

Are you going to have deals on the iPad Air (first version) black of 32gb with only wifi?

iPad Air first version 32gb DEALS

I don' t see any right now and Best Buy employees on this forum are not allowed to tell you.
Take early ads with a grain of salt. Often retailers will leak a portion of what is going to be availalbe. Your best bet is going to be to buy the paper on Thursday morning.

Anti-reflective coating on the Macbook?

Here is an article posted by The Inquirer today. Is this true?
To combat this, Apple has added an anti-reflective coating to the Macbook's screen, and this does reduce the mirror effect quite significantly. The screen is the one common factor across the new Macbook range, but the three models vary in a number of other respects. The cheapest version costs £749 and is equipped with a 1.83GHz Core Duo processor, 512MB RAM, 60GB hard disk and a CD-RW/DVD-Rom drive.

MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.6) Core Duo 2.0Ghz, 1GB RAM, 60GB HDD

That sounds about right.
I didn't expect there would be any truth to the article.
Apple has never responded to complaints that fast before. So, I wouldn't expect it to start doing so now.
Personally, the only things keeping me away from the MacBook at this point are the Integrated Graphics, and Glossy Screen.
I still need to evaluate them personally. But, will need to find a store that is going to be more accompanying to my thorough testing first. I will want to see first-hand how durable the screen is before purchasing.

Anti-reflective coating on iPhone camera lense wearing off

In the past few days, I've noticed that the anti-reflective coating on my iPhone lense has begun to wear off in blotches, producing a "rainbow" effect when observed in the proper room lighting. I purchased this phone on June 30, keep it stored in a Marware Sportsuit case that completely envelopes the device, and only use iKlear to clean the device every few days.
Although this doesn't seem to affect photos shot from indoors, it does seem to be producing funny lighting "spots" when shooting outdoors.
I'm curious to know who else out there is noticing this with their iPhone and, if so and you've contacted Apple for assistance, what sort of response did you receive? Was it handled under AppleCare, did you have to send it in or was a replacement provided in-store, etc?
TIA

Yesterday I made an appt with a genius and we compared my camera with his. Pointed them both side by side at the overhead lights in the Apple Store. We could plainly see the haze on my phone most pronounced on the illuminated signs that say 'Kids', 'Peripherals' or whatever.
The genius said it would have to be sent for repair or replacement - he wasn't sure of course whether they would actually replace the lens or just send me a new iPhone. I'm guessing they'll just send me a new one though b/c it would seem pretty crazy for them to actually repair it. I haven't looked at disassembly photos of the iPhone but maybe the lens cover is part of the back metallic case cover and can be easily swapped out?
Either way I'm sure they'll take care of it. I did get a loaner iPhone and had some minor issues getting that going but that's another story.
Another note - while waiting in the store I checked out another customer's iPhone that was bringing his in for some other problem looked at his lens and it had spots on it that wouldn't come off as well.
While I have the loaner I'm going to experiment with applying some sort of screen protector material to cover the lens so I'm ready to preserve mine when it comes back!

I had an iPAD 4. Since I updated to IOS 7 it began to freeze up. I now have the iPad Air and the same thing happens. I'd like some advice because apple's technical service has no idea.

Technical service in Spain is useless. They told me to re-install everything again as when it's brand new, application by application to see which one is failing. I have 150 applications.
If they continue in this direction they will end up like Palm
You can tell Steve Jobs is no longer in charge.
I'm thinking of moving to Samsung.

If this problem continued across an iPad with Retina to an iPad Air it is almost definite it is one of your apps causing the problem. Run it for a day with no apps loaded on it, if it doesn't freeze then one of your apps that has not been updated is causing the issue. And the Technical Service in Spain gave you correct information.
It was no different when Mr. Jobs was still in charge (I was around for iOS 3.0) and it is no different on a Surface or a Note.

Ipad air 2 there's no silent mode like the other iPads ?? the button that does it does not exist on the iPad air 2 what does replace it??

hi the older button could be set to either "force portrait mode" or "silent mode". now you can do both in the iOS control center (swipe from the bottom of the screen), so the need for a button isn't needed anymore.

We just got 2 iPad air today and Set up both with the same Apple ID, now I'm getting messages and FaceTime for my 13 yr old daughter. Do I have to create a different Apple ID for her?

We just got 2 iPad air today and Set up both with the same Apple ID, now I'm getting FaceTime and messages for my 12 yr. old. Do I have to set up a separate Apple ID for her to avoid this?

It's a trust issue. You can set them up so you don't receive each other's messages as long as you each have your own email address.
The trust issue is the fact that either of you can change the separation at any time via Settings by checking the appropriate (inappropriate?) email address.
To be absolutely sure you can never receive each other's messages will require two Apple IDs.

I have just bought the iPad Air but when I try accessing my fotos from my iCloud account, I only get this years fotos whereas in my old iPad I can access the last three years of fotos. I've tried syncing to the computer but it didn't help

I have just bought the iPad Air but cannot access the roots I have on my iCloud account. They do appear on my old ipad 2, any ideas how I can access them please

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Can i use my iphone 5 charger for the ipad air

Can I use my iphone 5 charger for the ipad air?

It's really not recommended. The iPhone's 5w charger does not output enough current to properly charge the battery. It -may- charge but if it did, it would charge the iPad very slowly.
This would be like trying to fill a bucket of water (iPad) with a squirt gun (5w charger)
Also under iOS 7, the charging requirements are much stricter than iOS 6. You'll likey get an error message if you try.

Why does the YouTube app on the iPad Air 2 crash after posting a comment?

I got a brand new iPad Air 2 about 2 weeks ago, and ever since I started using the YouTube app, I've had a few issues. Every time that I post a comment or reply to a comment, the app crashes. This can be very annoying, especially when it happens in the middle of watching a video. When I re-open the app, I have to go back, find the video I was watching, and find the exact time that I was at before the app crashed. I need to do this every time, and this prevents me from being able to reply to comments or post anything at all. I had the YouTube app on my old iPad 2 which I had for about 4 years before upgrading to the iPad Air 2, and I never had any problems such as this one. I am not sure whether there is something wrong with my iPad, or maybe it could just be a bug within the app, which in that case, the developers would need to fix. Please let me know what you think of this issue, thanks.

Delete youtube app from iPad and then download it again. Or try clearing out youtube like press home button twice and clear the Q out.

HT4623 I recently switched from an original ipad to the ipad air. Now when people text me, the messages go to my cell phone and to the new ipad. I don't want my text messages going to both devices. How can I change this?

Is there a way to stop receiving my text messages on both of my devices? I have an ipad air and an iphone. People text my phone number and it goes to my phone and the ipad, but this only started happening when I upgraded from the original ipad to the ipad air.

If you do not want the text messages to go to the iPad (that is what I assume from your post) go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>uncheck your iPhone number in there. Do this on the iPad.
You can always just turn messages off as well in Settings>Messages>iMessage>Off.

What is the pixel or inches dimension to create a perfect sized wallpaper in Photoshop for the iPad air?

I figured out by trying different sizes to make about a perfect sized wallpaper for the iPhone 5, but can't seem to make one for the iPad air. The dementions I used for the iPhone 5 was 1536x 894 pixels or (12.417 inches Wide x 21.333 inches Height) which fits the iphones wallpaper about perfect. Note this is with having reduce motion ON in the settings>accessibility tab. I used photoshop to create these wallpapers. Please let me know if you have figured this out Thanks!

I reduced the size of my photo small enough so when you go to install it you need to put two fingers on it to stretch it out to fit. Far from an exact science but doable.

After updating to iOS 8 the iPad Air is getting crashed frequently including safari

After updating to iOS 8 the iPad Air is getting crashed frequently including safari.

Have you tried to reset it? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and see if that helps.
You may need to restore your iPad. That's where you back it up, then restore it to factory defaults, then put your backup back on so you don't lose any data. Sometimes a fresh start clears out any glitches and can help.
