Why is the new iPad Air not 802.11ac WiFi?

Surprised it is still "n", although Apple says it is "faster".

No one here would know why certain features are/are not implemented by Apple. Maybe send feedback to Apple:

  • Does the new ipad Air support 802.11 AC?

    I really wanted this to be a feature on the new iPad Air as I wanted to upgrade my router. I see that it supports MIMO.  Not sure if that is the same as 802.11 AC

    Based on the published specs, doesn't look like it: http://www.apple.com/ipad-air/specs/

  • 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.

  • Does anyone know if the new ipad air has a usb port. This is the only downside to the ipad to me? My samsung galaxy tab has 2. 1 being a micro usb. Great for connecting to the tv.     Thanks, greenlady5.

    Does anyone know if the new ipad sir, not yet available will have a usb port? This is the only thing that is prevented me from purchasing so far. Doesn't make sense when you can connect to tv.

    The standard external connection and charge port on all recently-announced (October 2014) models in the US is the Lightning connector, introduced with the iPad 4 in Sept 2012. http://techcrunch.com/2012/09/12/apples-new-lightning-connector-what-it-does-and -doesnt-change/
    This includes iPad Air, iPad Air 2, iPad mini, iPad mini 2 with Retina display and iPad mini 3.

    NOTE: The original iPad (2010), iPad 2 (2011), iPad 3 (early 2012) came with a 30-pin connector, also common to original iPhones and iPods.
    Additional adapters are available to connect TV's, cameras, SD memory cards, and similar devices, from many sources, including the Apple Store online. (Adapters are still available for the older iDevices using the 30-pin connector as well)

    Some common Lightning adapters available from Apple online:
    Lightning to USB camera connector with a 'standard' USB cable.

  • Can the new iPad Air take panorama photos and/or slo-mo video?

    Can the new iPad Air take panorama photos and/or slo-mo video?
    The specs don't indicate that it can but the hardware seems capable.
    Thanks in advance.

    I find it silly that Apple wont let the camera app on the new ipad air take panorama pictures when 3rd party app do. Apple why make something as wonderfull as the new ipad air, then cripple it with a sub standerd camera app.
    My iPhone 4 that is over 3 years old has the same camera app.

  • Does anyone know of a suitable dock for the new iPad Air?

    After purchasing a new iPad Air on Friday, I searched for a charging/syncing dock from Apple.  There are none!  Then, I searched the Internet for 3 days, and the choices are few. 
    Does anyone know of a good and sturdy dock for the new iPad Air?  I have very little desk space and always buy an Apple dock for my iPhones and iPads.
    Is it possible that the dock for the iPad 4 could be used for the new iPad Air?  Currently, I have an iPad Third Generation and its own dock, which is 30 pins.  The available 8 pin adapter is not sturdy enough to put an iPad Air on.
    For my iPhone 5, I have a Twelve South High Rise dock (because of the case), but it won't do for an iPad. 
    Any ideas?

    This isn't going to be super helpful because I don't know of any by name, but have you looked through App Store? I am almost positive you will come across at least one in there. This assumes you are running software version 2.0.

  • Does the new iPad air 2 get hotter than the previous iPads?

    I Have noticed that the new iPad Air 2 seems to be warmer than my 4th. Generation ipad. It is not so hot that I can't hold it, but I definitely notice a difference from the air 2 & the 4th. Generation iPad.
    Thanks for any feed back.

    Hi The iPad Air is very slim I retuned mine for a refund viberates on speaker battery not lasting And yes it did get warmer and it's a bit flimsy. Got iPad Air 1 now 32G £359.00 now was £479.00 No problems. Cheers Brian

  • Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original location - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it

    Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original locations - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it - also, when transferring large amounts of files it becomes a very large problem remembering which files were transferred and which not.

    You're going to need to be more specific, as I'm not quite sure I understand what you're talking about.
    If you're referring to copying from an external hard drive or flash drive, and you want to actually move files rather than copy them, you can hold down the option key to force it to do a "move" rather than a "copy." This is not new behavior, though... the Mac OS has worked this way as long as I can recall (and I've been using it since 1984).
    If you're having a problem with trying to move files from one place to another on a single drive causing them to be copied instead, that is likely because of some permissions issue preventing you from actually being able to move them.

  • Why is the new Safari (7) not letting sound be heard from Soundcloud widgets (players) on my website when the earlier Safari worked fine, and other browsers also work fine?

    Why is the new Safari (7) not letting sound be heard from Soundcloud widgets (players) on my website when the earlier Safari worked fine, and other browsers also work fine?

    Might be an incompatible extension or plugin ...
    Try troubleshooting Safari extensions and third party plugins.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

  • Why is the New iPad is super slow in photo album?

    Hi, I am a previous owner of iPad 2 and am VERY HAPPY with it.
    I was so excited to get the New iPad, but now very unhappy with it.
    The advertisement of quad core graphics chip does not do any good.
    The photo album took at least 3 times longer to display an image (in comparison to the iPad 2).
    Viewing all photos in slideshow is out of the question because photo was not displayed in full resolution fast enough.
    Please HELP

    Thank Jim, but it doesn't help.
    I did all sorts of power off, soft reset, hard reset, and even restore to original default.  None that help.
    Do you have iPad 2 to compare with?
    Anyhow, these pictures were NOT taken by the iPad camera, they are from photo albums (taken by SLR) and synced to the library.  These have much higher resolution and possibly have bigger file sizes (eventhough iTunes compressed it down during sync).
    The New iPad could NOT load the picture in full resolution fast enough (I measured about 3.5 seconds) whereas the iPad 2 was able to complete the same picture in about +1 sec.
    I am very disappointed.  I will make an appointment with Apple and see what their answer is.

  • Why is the new CC Library not included in Indesign ?

    Hello,
    Why is the new CC Library not included in InDesign ?
    It works great between Photoshop and Illustrator but now I really miss this feature in Indesign.

    Don't know why, but CC Library is a totally different thing compared with InDesign's own library format stored in *.indl files. So I suggest, that you'll make a feature request here:
    Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
    Hope, that it will work again today. Heard, some users had problems with the bug report form yesterday…
    (For the "why": Sometimes the developer teams of the individual CC products do not talk to each other that much, I think.)
