    What devices will support OS11?

    I'm hoping Apple is as far reaching as they've been in the past little while. The fact that my iPad 4 is still relatively current makes me hopeful that any device with 64bit architecture will be supported. I can't see any reason why that wouldn't be the case, so hopefully even those with the...

    New iMore Site Design: Official Feedback Thread

    I'm really hoping this adds a way for those of us who have been using Apple for a while to filter out via rss a lot of the "beginner guides". I really love the site, but when spammed in my feed with a majority of "here's how to set up email on your new iPad" it's a very mild irritant. Like sand.

    Nintendo Switch No Bluetooth Headset Support...Yet?

    For right now an easy answer is a bluetooth transmitter dongle. Male to male cable and then headset. If you get a good enough dongle, the latency shouldn't be an issue!

    iPad 4 Shipping/Tracking thread:

    Finally got my tracking info. Says its in Ontario, but it should be able to get here tomorrow. Again, though, thanks to Stupid UPS, it won't be here until 6pm :( And if something happens that delays it, I probably will cry...

    iPad 4 Shipping/Tracking thread:

    What has happened is that the majority of the devices are sitting in shipment warehouses now ready to deliver. However due to the tight control Apple has on its shippers, primarily UPS, not a peep will be heard UNTIL our stuff ships out. I believe this. "Preparing for shipment" is a curtain...

    iPad 4 Shipping/Tracking thread:

    I've been in the "preparing for shipment" stage since late Friday/early Saturday, but I expect that doesn't actually MEAN anything. I have gone through with everything else though, the accessories I've ordered are on their way to me and, sadly, will be here before the items they're to be used...

    "iPad 4" is just glorified iPad3. Here's why.

    Exactly. But as for the 3, it was abundantly clear that they were creating a device just because they had to. They couldn't go a year and a half without releasing an updated model, the investors, the board, the consumers would lose faith almost immediately and it would have been a huge blow...

    When will cases be available??

    I assume you're referring to me, and I don't want to pay otterbox prices because in a month or so they'll be half of what they are now. As this is a christmas present, I have no need to rush out and buy one at this moment, when I can just wait and save around $30. As for the "Just don't drop...

    Purchased iPad mini alongside iPad 4

    Says the person that has a signature advertising to the world all the various iDevices they own... seriously, pot meet kettle. And the thread has validity, we all are here because we're huge apple fanatics. The only devices I won't replace with an Apple product are desktop computers. IN no...

    iPad 3 cases / accessories with iPad 4?

    Yeah, like I expected the only physical change was the swapping of the 30 pin to the lightning connector and the internals. Battery, casing, etc.. all the same. That's fine with me. The only issue I had with the retina ipad was the lack of a performance boost, that's the only reason I'll...

    "iPad 4" is just glorified iPad3. Here's why.

    Who would buy it? Me. Lots of other people. People that didn't upgrade to the 3 because it was clear there was NO performance boost and charged like a dog. Again, me. I will pass my iPad 2 down to my wife who will pass the iPad 1 down to my kids (including a mini for them to also use for...

    When will cases be available??

    I'm hoping to find an Otterbox case, but NOT at those horrific retail prices. I can't justify spending $70 on a defender case. Right now the price for the iPhone 5 cases have dropped almost in half, and since this is a Christmas present, I've got loads of time to wait out the stupid pricing...

    Purchased iPad mini alongside iPad 4

    I'll play with the Mini while setting it up for my kids to use at Christmas, but honestly, having the retina display will be the focus of all my attention, even on trips. How can you go to read on a smaller device when you've seen a retina display! I'm excited to get this for my kids, though...

    iPad 3 cases / accessories with iPad 4?

    Oh crap. Speakers. That would be the biggest issue. If the speaker placement has changed dramatically, we're in trouble. Otherwise it SHOULD be fine. Let me see if I can check some hands on pics. Okay, whew. Bullet, dodged.. The iPad Mini, however, has gotten the full redesign with the...

    Who Ordered An iPad 4?

    I ordered a 64gb to replace my iPad 2. Honestly, I can't wait. It's going to be the upgrade I wanted to have, my wife will love the boost from the iPad 1 and it'll give me the freedom to keep only what I want on my new iPad (like with my iPhone 5) and keep it out of my kids hands ;) I guess the...

    Official waiting for iPad Mini pre-order pajama party!

    Holy crap I'm amazed at the rush when buying stuff like this. In the span of 3 minutes, I spent close to $1500... Ugh. And my adrenaline glands are pumping like crazy! But I'll be set, I ordered an extra wall adapter for the iPad, figure I'll need another high power one, the camera...

    Official waiting for iPad Mini pre-order pajama party!

    Uh, the 4th gen is the same release date, the 2nd. I'll be putting in 2 orders, one for the mini and one for the 4, I expect both on the same day :)

    iPhone 5 Cases

    Huh. So I weighed the Griffin case. Holy poop that thing is 40 grams!! No wonder my wife didn't notice a ton of difference between my iPhone 4! Ugh. So back to the drawing board. I either get the Ballistic Smooth series, or I grab the ZeromChroma vario case that has a kick stand and weighs...

    iPhone 5 Cases

    I had to get a case, everything around me just said "Muahahah, set it down on me and you shall see the true meaning of scratches!!" I think the living in a dusty house just increases that risk. But regardless, I grabbed a decent $20 case from Future Shop (it's a sister company to Best Buy in...

    iPhone 5 Shipping/Tracking

    Ugh. In Canada, ordered at about 12:04 and I see SQUAT on my Apple orders. My carrier, Telus, doesn't have the infrastructure in place to actually provide any info on preorder status or, well, anything for that matter. They've stated there is certainty it will arrive on the 21st, and Telus...
