    Upgrading to iPadOS 16.X on iPad Mini 5 Bricks The Device

    I've tried to upgrade two iPad Mini 5th Generation tablets (an iPad mini 5 Wi-Fi 256GB and a iPad mini 5 Wi-Fi 64GB) to iPadOS 16 and both times the upgrade has "bricked" the devices and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this same issue? Another detail, all of the update attempts...

    iPad mini Refurbished iPad mini 5 from Apple

    Hello everyone. I was thinking about buying a refurbished iPad mini 5 and while it has its own section in the Apple refurbished site, it’s greyed out and none are listed. It’s been a while since I’ve bought anything from the Apple refurb store. Does anyone know - does new stock of sold out...

    iPhone SE (2016) Iphone 11 OR SE (2nd Gen) + ipad mini

    Okay, I'm still on the 7 plus (now on its second battery) and I still can't use any of Apples OLED phones due to PWM (If I could I'd have an 11 Pro Max in a heartbeat). My 7 plus is feeling slow, constantly drops wifi and its looking a little tatty. I'm more than ready for a change. I'm no fan...

    iPad mini iPad mini 5 or iPad Air 10.5 for a person with low vision?

    I'm considering buying an iPad for my mother. Her sight is getting worse with age. Apple devices seem to have better accessibility features than Android, and larger screen surely would help too. But I'm not sure whether iPad Mini will offer the best experience for her. Right now she's using...

    All iPads Visual issues with iPad mini 5 but only from this factory.

    I am having visual trouble with the iPad mini 5 screen. It seems that the ones coming from maybe this factory makes their screens a certain way? It’s the ones start with the serial DM, which is Foxconn China . However when I had one with DL , also in Foxconn but maybe not the same factory I...

    iPad mini Mini 5 Keyboard cases with Nordic keys?

    Are there any keyboard cases for Ipad Mini 5 that has Nordic keys? We have customers in some large environments where running around with normal ipad models does not work, and the iphones are too small for some of their use cases. Trying to keep them within the Apple sphere, but it is kind of...

    All iPads iPad mini 5 redundant with 8 plus?

    Hey everyone. Currently in the market for an iPad. Crossed the iPad 10.2 off my list due to display and processor and have no interest in spending the money needed for a pro (and will under no circumstance every give up touch ID). That leaves me with the mini 5 and the air. Spec wise I know...

    iPad mini iPhone SE + AW 4 LTE + Mini 5 LTE = Bliss

    Smallest "current" iPhone, Apple Watch 4, and the smallest iPad is a nice combination! iPhone 11 what? It ain't got nothing on the SE + Apple Watch 4 LTE + Mini 5 LTE combo. Anyone in this same camp too?! I can pack it in my bag and not worry about them taking up a huge amount of space. I can...

    iPad mini Should I get an iPad mini 5?

    Hi, I've been using iPad since iPad 3, it's been a pleasure using my iPads for movies, books, casual internet browsing. A couple years ago, I got an iPad min 2 cellular, then sold it for some reason, I liked its portability whenever I don't want to carry a full size iPad or MacBook. Right now...

    iPad mini iPad mini 5 feedback and testimony - Share your experience

    Hello all, It is a tragedy how you can end up getting 0$ value for an iPad that costed you over 1000$. Especially those who got iPad Pro 12.9" 2nd gen with touch unresponsiveness issues. In this thread, I would like to record my experience with my new iPad Mini 5 and feedback to keep it as a...

    iPad iPad mini: iOS 13 Broke 'Slide Up For Dock/Multitasking'

    Just as stated in the title. On the Public Beta installed on a 5th Gen Mini, and now I cannot slide up from the bottom of the screen to access the dock, nor multitasking. Any thoughts? Bug? New "feature"? Is there a switch in settings I... need to switch? Any info welcomed.

    iPad mini Is the iPad Mini 5 camera supposed to be a potato with VGA 2004 digital camera quality?

    So this is my first exchange and I'm just going to do a full return and wait. 1st issue was the backlighting being uneven making it hard to look at. I found others here and reddit did a black test and it showed the screen was uneven. So I exchanged for this one, the backlight wasn't uneven...

    iPad mini iPad mini 5 WiFi problem

    So I got this LTE 256 mini 5 just days ago. It was a bummer in that my home WiFi (FIOS with original equipment not yet one year old) connection drops, sometimes it reconnects, sometimes it request Password but rejects. I have 9 other Macs, iPads, iPhones, on the network with no issues. The mini...

    I have the new iPad Mini but now I’m considering the air 3

    last Wednesday I got the new mini and I’ve been using it everyday. I had bought the 3rd gen pro 12.9 when it came out and I loved it, but I ultimately decided to return it due to it not being portable and I only would use it at home. The mini has been great as far as being able to just throw...

    iPad mini iPad Mini 5 Shells

    Just perused Amazon. Still no iPad 5 Mini back shells, compatible with Apple's Smart Cover. Just a bunch of non-compatible cover shells and full cases. I like using the shell + Smart Cover because then you can remove the cover when not needed to save even more weight. I don't mind that Apple...
