Why 2 microphones on the new iPads?

Why are the new iPad Air and the future iPad Mini getting the extra microphone on the rear of the case?
Thanks,

  • Why is iTunes displaying the new iPad as the 2nd Generation?

    On Tuesday I bought what I believe to be the new iPad (or what some may refer to as the 3rd Generation), but I have come across a minor problem that has set alarm bells.I viewed what devices have been recognised on my account through iTunes and it has entitled my iPad as being the 2nd Generation. I then proceeded to check my serial number on the Apple site, which told me my iPad was 3rd Generation. Because I am getting two different pieces of information, I had Apple ring me and the guy also told me it was 3rd Generation. Now, if I believe I have bought the genuine product, why is iTunes responding with different information? Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? As someone who has spent quite a bit, I am sure no one will deem these as stupid questions. I have heard reports regarding Apple's deceit when it comes to their products.

  • Why no Siri on the new ipad

    Why is Siri not included on the new IPad?

    Because.
    There really is no answer to these questions. Apple decided not to throw it in the bundle. They might want it to be iPhone only. No one in here can/will answer that, since we're all users without access to this sort of information.

  • Why sell no more the new iPad but still iPad 2?

    ich habe am 16.04.2012  „the new iPad“ gekauft. Ich war zufrieden mit der Technik und Qualität des Produkts und war stolz ein Apple Kunde zu sein. Am 23.10.2012, werde ein anderes Produkt ausgeben und das neue Produkt hat andere Technik. In Apple shop, kann man noch iPad 2 bestellen aber „the new iPad“ gibt es nicht mehr. Auf dem Grund zweifele ich jetzt, dass bei „the new iPad“ technische Fehler geben. Bitte geben Sie mir eine Klärung bevor ich eine Entscheidung für die Reklamation treffe.

    well in order to take advantage of 64 bit processors then you need 4 gigs of ram, and do you expect apple to sell a 64 bit ipad that has 4 gigs of ram for the same price today?  with all the specfications of the ipad ? maybe in  5 years but not today. if you want the cheaper tft  and a lower resolution screen of 1200x800 there is a single tablet computer on the market of 28 tablets that has 3 gigs of ram,.
    oh my mistake, there are 2 . the other tablet is 2500 x 1600 , but it is another tft screen
    come on other tablet makers how come you can't make tablets like apple with IPS screens @ 2048 x 1536 screens!

  • HT1349 why when i start the new ipad, it shows  " Enter the password for the CalDAV account "Yahoo!"?

    when I start my new ipad, it shows  " Enter the password for the CalDAV account "Yahoo!"? so, i need to tap the cancel button 2 times. after that, i can use my new ipad. I just bought the new ipad 21.05.2012. yesterday, worst to worst, i cannot used my new ipad because after i tap the button cancel 2 times, the new i pad just hanging there with the box Enter the password for the CalDAV account "Yahoo!". It doesn't moved and I hate it so much.

    Most likely your yahoo password setup in your mail account is wrong. When you wake your ipad it checks for mail right away(even though it has when it sleeps). Your password or something with your Yahoo mail is wrong.
    Assuming caldav is your yahoo name. If its not a yahoo email, you have email setup wrong. Its your email.

  • I have the iPad 2 16GB, bought it in August 2011, I worked perfectly but in mid-August 2012 I took her to the store because the microphone did not work reviewed and changed me, but to my surprise that the new iPad had the problem is disconnected WIFI sign

    I have the iPad 2 16GB, bought it in August 2011, I worked perfectly but in mid-August 2012 I took her to the store because the microphone did not work reviewed and changed me, but to my surprise that the new iPad had the problem is disconnected WIFI signal I have to be glued to the router, and I did everything he says is supported by the Apple and all other pages and forums regarding this problem is not solved and always disconnects when connected always disconnects again!! passing will be settled as no longer factory warranty although it has neither the three months I renewed new, please help because the investment has been great and I can not use only as "a mirror" I'm waiting a true solution, thanks ....
    Sincerely,
    Catlos

    This does help me because I am pondering on wether to buy an airport extreme to solve my ipad 2 connection woes.  I have an extremely old router dLink 524....but I have NEVER had any problems with it at all ever.  My xbox connected great to it and netflix ran flawless through my xbox.....now I have an ipad2 and an apple tv and they are BOTH having horrible connection problems.  I have read most of the forums on how to fix it by changing the settings on my router but since mine is so old I couldn't do some of the suggested solutions.  So here I am debating on whether to spend all this $ on an airport extreme?  I am just hoping that if I go and purchase this, my connectivity issues problems will go away like yours did.  Just wondering if you have ATV as well and if the AE solved its problems?  I have read about AE solving ipad2 wifi problems, I'm just hoping it will solve my ATV as well.

  • Just got an iPad mini 3 and have not reset my iPad mini 3; is that why the photos from iCloud backup are not showing up in the new iPad?

    Just got an iPad mini 3 and have not reset my iPad mini 3; is that why the photos from iCloud backup are not showing up in the new iPad?

    Sorry, don't know what you are asking. You have an old iPad Mini 3 and a new iPad Mini 3?  How did you set up the new iPad? Did you restore it from a backup of the old iPad? What photos are you not seeing?

  • Why does the "mute" button not "mute" the new iPad?

    Hi,
    the problem drives us crazy.
    We bought the new iPad on launch Day and every other App (like Hotel Dash) does play Sounds even though the iPad is muted. Really anoying are "between Level" Ads or "pause Ads" (like in Wedding Dash, Lost Luxuries) which started playing while my wife was in the Subway.
    The mute Button should turn the iPad to mute without exceptions. How can we fix it? Or do we have to return the new iPad?
    Regards
    Tim

    Thanks for your Reply. The Problem is, we are not listing to Music or watching an Movie - we are using an App, which plays Advertisement.
    Game Sounds do not play at all, but the Advertisement is playing at full Volume. This should not happen.
    Ok it is "not a bug it's a feature" or just abuse by App Developers, which i have no controll over? I have to use the volume rocker all the time? Why put a "mute" button on an iPad?
    As you were told, the mute button mutes system sounds.  Other sounds are muted via the rocker.  That's the way it is.

  • With the new ipad coming out soon, why should I buy the ipad 2?

    with the new ipad coming out soon, why should I buy the ipad 2?

    I can only echo what Pogo says about buying based on what it does today.
    3 weeks ago I bought a Mac Mini. A new Mac Mini model has been rumoured to come out anywhere between the same week I made my purchase and the end of August. None's been released as yet.
    I wanted one in the week of June that I bought mine so I bought it based on the fact that it did what I wanted and I couldn't imagine anything which could be added that I'd want - my MacBook Pro doesn't have Thunderbolt so the most likely addition isn't really going to be much use for me.
    Basically you have to buy what you what based on what's out at the the time.
    I can promise that within seconds of the iPad3 being released, the web will be full of rumours about the next one!

  • Is there any where that I can voice why I returned my beloved new Ipad? I was told I could move my Keynote presentations to it and then use it for my business presentations. Unfortunately that turned out to not be true. I need the IPad to work with a remo

    Is there any where that I can voice why I returned my beloved new Ipad? I was told I could move my Keynote presentations to it and then use it for my
    business presentations. Unfortunately that turned out to not be true. I need the IPad to work with a remote.
    The Ipad is on a short cable to my projector. I am usually on a podium 30 feet away. No infra red receiver on the IPad and
    the Iphone remote needs wi fi which is not always available in all the locations I do my teaching and lecturing in.
    If you can build a remote into the Ipad in the future I would really like to use an Ipad to replace my heavier lap top for business travel. Thank You Kathy McNeil.

    "The Ipad is on a short cable to my projector."
    Get a longer cable?

  • When i take pictures with the new ipad why is there static

    when i take a picture with the new ipad why does the picture have noise in it but when i look at pictures online the photos are perfect

    Because both cameras have different resolutions.  The camera on the back of your Ipad (3rd gen.) is 5 megapixels; while the camera in front (used mainly for Facetime, etc.) is only 0.3 megapixels.  Hope this helps.

  • The autofill feature worked on my iPad 2, but not on the New iPad. Anyone know why?

    The autofill feature worked on my iPad 2, but not on the New iPad. Anyone know why?

    Go to Settings>Safari>Auto Fill>On .... Names and Passwords>On .... Use Contact Info>On. Make sure that your contact information is correct.
    Then quit Settings and Safari completely and restart the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    See if that helps.

  • I just get the new iPad air and when connecting it to my laptop, why the battery is not charging?

    just get the new iPad air and when connecting it to my laptop, why the battery is not charging?

    A lot of computers don't provide enough power to their USB ports to charge the iPad at a sufficient rate - it may still be charging slowly, and should be a bit quicker if the iPad's screen is off (if you leave it for a while and then disconnect it from your computer you may find that it's battery percentage has gone up). The wall charger is usually the most efficient way to charge the iPad.

  • Why the new iPad still has no Flash

    I wonder why the new iPad still has no flash. I love to take photos with my iPhones and iPads, sometimes a flash could be handy when it's dark.
    I know it could be another nightmare for the Apple case makers.

    Apple has never said why, and rarely does explain decisions like that... my guess is that it would have taken space and power away from something else, it's a pretty tightly-packed product. :-)

  • Why didn't apple cal the new Ipad the iPad 3???

    Why didn't apple cal the new Ipad the iPad 3???

    Apple has not explained why, so nobody here could tell you for sure. Perhaps to keep it in line with naming polices for computers (all iMacs are iMacs, all MacBook Airs are MacBook Airs) rather than the iPhone.
