I have been using my iPad Air for a week by now. I only discovered about the yellow tint issue on the screen that most people experience, my own device has no such problem except when I go to settings, but it's not obvious. And I also think that I see wrongly haha. Another issue is low frame rate per second when playing Dead Trigger 2, the game is working perfectly at 60 fps when I play it with my Nexus 7 2013. But with iPad Air, its running on 20fps. My friend has the same iPad Air, and I asked him to benchmark by using the Dead Trigger 2 as well, he is getting lag issues with low framerate like me.

Other than that, no more problems and iPad Air is a good tablet.


iPad Air is ~264 ppi pixel density.

iPad Mini Retina Display is ~324 ppi pixel density.

From this, we can always say that iPad Mini Retina Display has sharper images compared to iPad Air. Actually, you can see the display comparison in the CNET Review. iPad Mini Retina Display has this grey scale display which is not available inside iPad Air.

I have ipad mini .. Its a gift so no receipt provided. The warranty end in january 2015. The problem is,after i open the box, switch it ON - it give me blue screen then black. It didnt power on at all... No matter how long i charge still cant switch on. I have done hard reset still no luck.

How should i send this for repair if the device has no receipt of purchase? Im in sarawak, is there any apple authorizes service centre here? The item originally mail from kl.

Just take it to any apple service provider to claim warranty. U do not need the receipt to claim for warranty.

Exactly right. I have sent in my iMac n ipod for warranty claim about 4 years ago n in both ocassions need not show proof of purchase. The service center identify your warranty through unit serial number.

Burned RM33 on a 3rd party 30pin to VGA adapter for my iPad2. Keeps saying "Accessory not supported by this iPad".

From reading online, some have said even the geniune adapters had problems and came to the belief that it's caused by an outdated firmware used by the adapter.

Sigh. Contemplating whether to burn RM139 for the genuine adapter. But will have to request them on the spot to test it and show me that it works. Otherwise, waste petrol only.

Does anyone here use the attachable keyboard for the ipad mini?

Been wondering if I should get one for my ipad mini since I do mostly just about anything on it when I'm in uni.

It's either that or buying a decent laptop with good battery.

i guess most of the attachables ones are pretty light.

I've been eye'ing on the logitech keyboard but its pretty pricey. almost 200+ myr

I have an Ipad mini 1st generation wifi + celular model , recently the ipad give me the famous "image retention" issue and i have to replace the LCD.

My question is does it worth to repair it or just top up and get a new unit?

My main purpose on ipad is just web surfing and monitor stock market only.

any way to disable the press home button to unlock on ipad mini 2? It's annoying and a lil bit laggy since this model has no fingerprint sensor.
