Which is better ipad or ipad mini

thinking about getting an ipad but unsure whether to get a big one or a mini

There is really no "better."
I like a larger screen, so I would personally opt for the iPad. If you are OK with the smaller screen, the same software runs on both.

  • Which kind of ipad mini case lasts longer,leather one or EVA one?

    I have to buy a ipad mini case for my sweet son, but still puzzled by lots kind of ipad mini cases in the Amazon.com. seveval days ago, I eventualy targeted two very cute ipad mini cases. Now, which one do you think is better?
    http://www.eva-product.com/Trendy-Apple-iPad-Mini-Keyboard-Bluetooth-Case-Cover3 85.html  or  http://grizzlygadgets.com/crocodile-skin   
    This is the leather one above,  I love the cool outlook
    EVA ipad mini case is below.I love the cute keyboard, and it is sold in a amazingly lower price.

    The leather is not crocodile, it is plastic. Read your link's information.
    Choice of cover is entirely subjective, and not a subject for this technical support forum.  (I'd go for imitation croc, but I'm at least sixty years outside the range of "sweet son")

  • HT4101 Which is better Ipad smart cover or case

    I am getting a new Ipad 3rd Gen 32GB and I wonder if it is a good thing to purchase either a smart cover or case?  Another question I have is it wise to get a wireless keyboard?

    There is no one right answer -- it's like asking what kind of car you should buy.
    The smart cover only convers the front.  The smart case has the front cover and adds covering for the back and sides.
    Whether you should get a wireless keyboard depends on how much typing you do, as well as how easy or difficult it is for you to use the on-screen keyboard.

  • Which is better iPad or Mac for high school students?

    I just took SHSAT and my mother promise me that I will get one that I wish if I get in. I did not want to waste that wish and use it on others wastable stuff. So I was thinking that Apple device would make great studying for me in High School. I have iMac but Macbook air is portable and ipad is portable. Both of them are really good. I don't know what to choose. If you can't decide as well, please suggest what should I get. And Please do not tell me I won't go in to spealized high school because I already have a lot of stress.

    MacBook Air is the best of both worlds.
    The instant on and fast response of an iPad, but has the full size keyboard, full OS X and expandablity of a Mac computer.
    The MacBook Air is almost as light as an iPad, but is much more flexible.

  • I want to connect my ipad mini to my Apple TV. There isn't a option when I double tap on my ipad button for connecting to the tv and I also can't connect to home sharing from my iTunes settings. Can someone talk to me in simple terms. Thanks

    So I have a ipad min. I want to connect it to my Apple TV. There is no option on my ipad for home sharing which my Apple TV is telling me to do.
    Can somebody please just explain it to me in simple terms where I can find the home sharing and what I have to do to connect my Apple TV to the ipad or vice versa.
    Everything I have bought from apple in the past month has been a complete let down its taking far to long to connect things and the people who sell the products to you lie about what the product does and can do.
    Can someone help me please
    Thanks

    AirPlay isn't anything to do with homesharing. (Home sharing lets you share the iTunes libraries on computers)
    Basic AirPlay: Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    Mirroring: When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    Restart your mobile device.

  • Does the iPad mini have the same slow charging issues as my "New IPad"?

    I'm considering returning my New IPad and purchasing the iPad mini due to the slow charging issues with my New IPad. Does anyone know if the mini has the same issue?  Does anyone know if Apple is planning on offering a different charger for the New IPad?  I love everything about the New IPad except the charging system. I can't use it as much as I would like to.  It's so disappointing!!!!

    I also have issues when charging my brand new iPad mini. I got astonished when I tried to charge it yersterday and realized it took more more time to charge than my iPod Touch 4th generation, which really charges very fast! It even did'nt charge completely so when I got home I put mi iPad mini to charge overnight, at about 12.30 AM, when it had about 13% charge left.
    This morning I got shocked when I saw at 6 Am that it hadn't charged completely. Just 96%, which means the iPad mini can't be totally charged during a 6 hours charging session. So after reading all these posts I get disappointed with this huge issue for iPad users. How can we endure such a long charging sessions for a device that you normally use all the time. For instance, when you're traveling you always need to charge the iPad very quickly. Just a few travelers would allow their ipads to rule their schedules on such a bizarre way!
    I was also worried because I don't live in the States. It was my brother who bought it for me, so taking my device to the Apple Glass Cube in New York or any other retailer or just to have this issue technically solved is a big problem for me! So international customers who think to buy this wonderful mini tablet should consider that such a marvelous device is dealing with an absurd and disappointing big problem related to an aspect customers would hardly imagine.

  • I would like to buy am Ipad for my nephew. Which one is better to play games, ipad or ipad mini

    Probably the full iPad, because it has a better graphics card. The larger screen helps too.

  • Which is better an iPad mini or an iPod touch 5th generation?

    Is the iPod touch 5 better than the iPad mini?

    I depends upon your needs and usage. the iPod is smaller and easier to carry. The iPad  mini larger screen is an advantage for many users. Also, the iPod has an optional cellular radio which is very nice but has one-time cost and then monthly cost but no contract. Also, there are somne apps that are only iPod apps

  • How do I get music and games which I purchased for my daughter through my iTunes account onto her iPad mini  but at the same time set up a separate iTunes account for her iPad?

    My daughter  used to use my old iPod and all the music and games that she wanted went through my e-mail/iTunes account.  She has moved onto an iPad mini but this is still in my account.  I want to set up an e-mail and iTunes account for her so that my iPhone doesnt get jammed up with all her stuff.  If I do this I think that all the stuff which I've bought will be lost to her.  How can I get round this?

    Apple devices can hold protected content from up to five different accounts, however updating apps purchased over more than one account (as far as I'm aware) requires signing in and out of each account. You may be better off continuing to use one account for your family, as I do, but disabling the options on each device for the automatic download of purchases made on the account, and in iTunes, the automatic inclusion of new apps when syncing from the library to the device.

  • What is better for college? An iPad air or an iPad mini with retina display?

    I'm currently a junior in high school and I'll be graduating in the summer of 2015. My parents, well mostly dad, are planning on buying me the iPad air with 128 GB of memory. I got curious and went to look at the price and compare models and I saw that the iPad mini with retina display was the same as the iPad air, the only difference is the size. Since I saw that it was cheaper I was thinking on telling my parents to buy me that instead of the iPad air because it is more costy and my family isn't really the rich kind of people. I will be only using the iPad for school and nothing else since I have my iPod to play games on and stuff so it will only be used for purely educational purposes. Plus I've been hearing around that the iPad air is not that great and stuff because it has a bigger screen and such. Personally for me, I do not care about the screen size I just care about the price for my parents' sake because I don't like it when they have to spend a lot of money. So can you please help me decide on which to get and why it would be better than the other? Please and thank you.

    Unless you are going to store many thousands of high resolution photos and LOTs of movies or videos, you don't need a 128GB storage. Save some $ and get a smaller capacity.

  • I have an Ipad first generation with IOS 5.1.1. and I have just got a new ipad mini. Should I use the back up of the old Ipad from Itunes copy to configure the new one, or it is better to configure the new one from scratch?

    I have an Ipad first generation with IOS 5.1.1. and I have just got a new ipad mini. Should I use the back up copy of the old Ipad from Itunes to configure the new one, or it is better to configure the new one from scratch?

    Contrary to the opinion above, I see no reason whatsoever why you can't set up the new iPad from the backup of the old one. Obviously you will have app updates to make and complete and that sort of thing, but if you want to retain all of your app data and device settings (some of which will change because of the updated iOS), I would certainly restore from the backup first.
    If you find that to be problematic, you can always start all over again.

  • HT4759 I am using Windows 7 Ultimate OS which is a upgarde from Vista on my laptop with Microsoft Office 2003. I am trying to use ICloud with an IPhone 5 and IPad mini to stream photos but can't do this with my laptop or devices using my Three network. Wh

    Can i use my laptop which is running Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade from Vista to stream photos using ICloud. The outlook programme used is 2003 and i my devices are IPad mini and IPhone 5. My problem is that i able to drag pictures into ICloud for it to send to my devices but nothing happens. Why?
    I am grateful for any advice.

    A hard drive if it has failed will sometimes allow you to boot into windows but may not work completely (Eg: In a scenario, where system partition ;where windows is installed works fine but logical partition of hard drive has gone bad).
    On certain conditions, if the hard drive is on verge of failure may/may not respond completely. I would suggest you to run a diagnostics using Seagate Seatools which works on any hard drive irrespective of manufacturer to actually confirm if your hard drive has failed.
    Also, any hard drive can fail in spite of it been 1yr old or 1day old as its all manufactured in bulk and most of it comes from China
