Congrats!

Checking in !!

Perhaps a mini for me when retina display is ready for it.

Congrats on V2 ! Loving my Mini more than original iPad day by day

hopefully Retina coming soon !

Would you upgrade if it's out in end Q1 '2013 ?

Then battery life would suffer

Loving my ipad mini. Would consider to upgrade once the ipad mini 3 is out

hella yeah! but I don't THINK it will be that soon, at least end of Q2 2013? I don't know lol

anyway I will follow every generation of iPad Mini lineup. It's an amazing little device

I'm agree on that battery life would suffer part, perhaps they come up with some kind of battery technology similar to their screen technology Retina Display ? Can last longer than non Retina

Would like to hear on the battery life for the iPad mini 4G LTE devices. How is the usage time between every charge for you?

Retina will be better but im happy wih the current specs.

nice, somehow this thread no owners list?

i just got the special usb adapter to car lighter plug to charge the mini ,my BB and iphone . now thinking how nice if can mount the mini as car player

I think the next iPad mini will be heavier due to rating display and faster processor. To compensate they will have to increase the battery size.

instead of wasting time to add ppl name as owner list, why not just put a poll? so they can just vote whatever model they bought.

Too late... maybe in V3 can set as Poll

OMG!!!

btw, when you play the demo unit, there is this game about WORDS. do you know the app name?

How to install whatsapp in ipad mini?

That's just 5 days!

I own an iPad Mini !!!

Batery report: usage about 1hr

I own an iPad Mini !!! LoL... 11days old..

Got one for my pops on the 26th at the most unlikely place - HN Ampang Point. I was early for my appointment and i saw there's a HN at Ampang Point so i went to look see. Asked a salesgirl and she said it's sold out and then seconds later as i was walking out a salesguy ran towards me and asked what capacity i wanted so i told him i wanted a 16gb black wifi model. He asked me to follow him and he opened up a cabinet and there it was! Before i could count how many there were, he quickly close the cabinet. I asked how many he had left and he just replied casually "very limited".

So, try and look for one at the most unlikely or remote authorised resellers and who knows, you could be pleasantly surprised as i did!

me too, 16gb cellular version!!!

ffffuuuuuuuuuu thats fast,,me order 25th still processing

edit:already on shipment

I've waited and waited... Until I don't want to wait anymore for the iPad Mini stock.
Decided to wait for the iPad Mini 2 instead...
If mounting rumours are right, it will launch in 1st half 2013, it's gonna be a worthy wait.. fingers crossed! Retina, better specs, etc

oh ya i got a special waist pouch to fit my mini,so it's ready handy to carry it all around also

ETA to reach here when the stock available it will be another 9 months away.

I will be waiting for it too.

I own an iPad mini !

Rumours has it that it may launch in March 2013. If so, maybe could reach here by June latest...
We need to be the first in line at our Apple stores!

i got it from AEOn/Jusco in JB ,its a normal oversize waist pouch (got it 50% discount)

why maxis isn't promoting iPad Mini plan huh ..

Cool!

I haven't charged in 10 days. Still 19% battery. LMFAO.

U hardly use is it? I charge everyday now since got it on 10th dec . Usage really can be 10hrs+ daily and charge it when it's 15~20% left

Anybody able to register nano simcard from Maxis for Ipad Mini? Already register from Maxis service centre but after 1 week also not yet activate the Ipad plan. Any advice.

They are busy filling iPhone 5 orders

Dear ipad sifu.. What do u think about ipad mini smart cover? I think it's so cute but a little bit overprice.. RM150 for that casing?Emm..
Any suggestion for another good cover for ipad mini?

This post has been edited by fakhrul: Dec 31 2012, 08:41 PM


Attached thumbnail(s)

If you want to keep your ipad simple/minimal...
I used it with slim clear back case (gear4)..

Seriously ??! i charge it everyday.. Gaming alot on it.. Cant get my hands off my mini.. Anyone got an antidote for it..

No games on my mini. Light surfing and iBooks only.

I did notice this: An hour on Touchosc heats up my mini. Djay drains battery as well.

Overall, batt life is good.

Oh my god...I so in love with my mini till I post this thread....especially I'm reading manga on it....again, I love my mini....preciousssssssssss......

Guys, anyone is using third party Smart Cover, it seems that I can't make mine work properly. The screen does not turn on and off automatically.

Black 16GB. No engraving. Maybe nasib because my order already after Christmas. Cos maybe before Christmas, plenty of orders to fill, just a theory.

Added on December 31, 2012, 10:24 pmI think the smart cover is quite cool. One thing about smart cover is that it protects the front only, my friend had quite a cool idea by buying smart cover, then on the back he placed those clear rubber bumper stickers that you can find in IKEA for drawers.

Example here:

using Rock Eternal cover...
use Rock before for Samsung tab...
feels thin when handling it....
bought from sakurazz just RM75...

It only take 2 hrs to activate the line. I think you better check with maxis.

I'm using Rock Eternal also. Feels very nice to hold, not bulky.
One drawback is the inside is light gray color, so will get dirty easily. If it's black, it'll be perfect.

Im using red smartcover with Switcheasy Coverbuddy. Black Slate model. Hella sexy

same with me

Happy New Year 2013 guys.. 16G wifi white engraving my sons name.. Currently using folio cover when traveling & back case cover when at home.. It's so light & feel so comfortable holding it..

Mine, using STM - Girp For Ipad Mini

STM- Grip

Feel so good. it protect front, back and every edge...

I was asking about normal sms service. Does ipad mini has it if cellular version?

ipad mini 64gb wifi cellular reporting in!

Not the conventional SMS. it only comes with imessage that's work with either idevice or email address.

Anyone know where got stock in jb ? Looking for 16gb blck wifi

Im using this case as well....it's not very bulky & nice to hold

I own an iPad Mini !!!

Mine still naked at the back and after one whole day outing yesterday just realized there's an inch long scratch on top of the apple Logo

Been looking for rear protection film/skin to no avail.

Glad you are able to enjoy your mini. Everyone who use their hard earned money to buy
Apple or Samsung note should be able to love their gadget but sadly some were cheated
Of this by Conman sellers

How much ? Bought locally or overseas ?

RM169 - Switch

I have tried the original smart covers and i'm quite annoyed with it frankly. The 'smart' function doesn't seem to function well.
Perhaps YMMV. This video demonstrates what i mean:

iPad Mini Smart Cover Review


I am really, really lovin' the Zazzle Premium, can't recommend it enough.
It's like the smart cover, only better because the magnets holds works fine, doesn't slip off easily and provides protection for the rear.

If you're still looking for rear protective skin for your iPad mini, PM me.

Just trying to help & sharing my two cents

What "conman sellers" are you talking about ?

Hi guy ,

I not sure any iPad mini here face the problem same with me , I found that my iPad mini always stop charging in 89 % ,then I need to disconnect the and connect back only it will resume the charging to 100%

Thanks

I am having same problem. Stop charging around 85%+ or so....I tried unplug and plug back the cable doesn't help. Have to turn off the Mini totally and restart it to get it charging.
I thought it was the 6.0.1 problem and upgraded to 6.0.2 still same problem.
Going to try using my iPhone 4 Adapter on next charge to try.

This post has been edited by d100200: Jan 1 2013, 07:26 PM

I am suspect the 5 w adapter cannot last for long hour charging, I try using iPhone 4 adapter , it doesn't have this issue

iPhone 4 4s is using the same adapter as ipad mini 5v. Not sure about iphone 5

This post has been edited by alxdc: Jan 1 2013, 07:48 PM

Suspect due to the batch of 5w adapter qc

Mine stop at 90%.
Going to try charging using iphone 4s adapter.

Update: with iphone 4s charger i managed to charge the ipad mini to 98% after 6 hours.

does anyone know where can get incipio ngp casing for ipad mini?

I had this problem when i was using my iPhone 5 charger to charge my iPad Mini. Reach 90%+ then stopped. However, things were back to normal i.e. can fully charge to 100% when i finally use my iPad Mini charger to charge.

Initially i didn't want to open up the iPad Mini charger as i wanted to keep it new, and the fact that i can use my iPhone 5 charger to charge my iPad Mini but boy i was so wrong! But everything is so identical but i just can't explain with my issues above

Anyone affected by the New Year's Day Do Not Disturb bug?
My DND setting tab is stuck and can't be accessed. Also, it is stuck to on even though its supposed to have lapsed to off.
