my kid still using her ipad mini 1, which i bought like 4-5 years ago.. and its still going strong..

thats why i also dare to buy ipad pro and plan to use for long term, by seeing the ipad mini reliability.. this is one thing about apple product that i like.. even 5 years still not very outdated.. heck my macbook pro has been years too now, i still don’t feel the need to buy new laptop, i still not ashamed to pull it out in meetings as it doesn’t feel old skool.. yet.. Lol. so its still ok for me to use.  biggrin.gif or should i say the new macbook price really put me off so i hardly will buy a new macbook.. moving my mobile works to ipad pro, and using imac for serious computing. maybe thats the way to go

Ya bro, my kid's Mini 2 also a little over 5-years already, so considered OK la. Actually everything still works, except for the screen that's flickering. Even third party repairers are quoting me RM600 to repair it! May just get an iPad 2018 for him to replace this... (depending on how good his mid term exam results are first, hahaha)...

PS - About the iPad Pro and using it long term, I dunno la... After my first few days with it, it seems so thin and fragile, I keep getting paranoid that I will accidentally bend it or break it somehow! Maybe read too much online stuffs about the #bendgate, hahaha... But that discussion is for another thread! biggrin.gif

Hi guys, my friend face some problem with his ipad and i require some advise here.
there are 2 part:

Part 1:
1. He used to use an hotmail account for apple ID (4years ago)
2. Due to hotmail was hacked, he changed another gmail account for apple ID
3. Gmail ID been used for years for his devices (ipad mostly)
4. Suddenly today, his ipad was asked to login with ID, and his hotmail ID was asked
5. Is very weird because very long did not use that hotmail ID already

Wondering anyone here know?

Part 2:
1. he brought the ipad to machine in Empire subang, with proof of purchase to reset the device
2. the employee there said no such service from them??

Any advice for this service?

Thank you guys

are u sure that he is using the same Apple ID for iCloud and Apple Store? becos they are two different passwords can be used in an Apple device. Likely that the Apple ID he is using should be one of them only and now the password asked is for the other.

mini 2 is not laminated display, by rite of screen broken it should be just the glass broken and not the screen itself. so if replaced, by rite the quality won’t be affected, it is still retina.

unless ur one is so jialat that the underneath screen also is broken.

good choice. tongue.gif i think it is worth it for the extra paid for:
1) better processor
2) better camera
3) better display
4) better form factor and weight

comparing to ipad 2018.

yeah. worth every single cent paid for the old ipad mini already. haha.

bigger screen is actually good if they are mainly using it at home. somemore the new air is lighter and slimmer than the ipad 2018.
