Apple iPad 2 Air or iPad Mini 4 in terms of longevity? Who would you do?

Hello world! I buy a new Apple iPad and my budget is $ 400 and I noticed that the iPad mini 4 and the iPad 2 air are both at $400.

Now, the iPad 2 air is stronger because there an A8X but the iPad Mini 4 has an A8, but the mini is 1 year of most recent. My question is:

When news updates, most particularly important as iOS 12, 13, (round number Updates) come out, which will undergo them longer and work on them better?

If Apple makes the iPad 2 Air do not get the updates but the iPad Mini 4 prompting, I'd rather have the mini.

Thank you very much for your answers!

Hi jojelllybean,

I don't think we can answer that since it's only Apple who decides what devices are eligible for a new update of the OS and if so, how the update affects (for example, the night shift does not in older devices, even when they are upgraded to iOS 9.3.2).

If I had to choose between those, I'd take the iPad 2 air because I can't work with a smaller screen. Also, by having a material more powerful more likely to be able to receive upgrades in the future. In fact, iOS 9 can be installed in any device where iOS 8 is already installed, but again, this does not mean that you will see as well all the improvements (i.e.: slower system).

If you can work with the Mini size, go get him.

  • iPad Mini

    I am the owner of the Apple iPad Mini.

    Yesterday, the iPad has become 'Activation Lock' and prompted me to an apple ID and password.

    I don't remember either.

    The following pop-up informed me that I have to unlock the device by getting the former owner to unlock the device.

    I am the current and previous owner!

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Have you tried: If you have forgotten your Apple - Apple Support ID ?

    If you have still not her, and if you were the original purchaser of the iPad (in "current and previous" do you mean original?), you could try to go to an Apple Store (make a Genius Bar appointment if you do) or try to contact iTunes Support Online (https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html) and see if they can remove the iPad on the account - they are likely to want to see the proof of ownership before they could help, for example, received original with top serial number

  • Mini 4 Apple iPad market always with iOS 9, why?

    Hello community, I am looking for information on the iPad Mini 4. Concrete, iPad Mini 4 with iOS 10! On the site of Apple market, iPad Mini 4 always have iOS 9. It is a bad signal for me that the iPad Mini 4 goes well with iOS 10. Anyone know when or if the iPad Mini 4 Gets the real operating system? No update at home. I want to see the Mini 4 iPad with iOS 10 to ensure that it works correctly. I had problems with high speed on my last iPads after upgrade, I don't want that again. Thank you very much for your answers. (Sorry for my English, it is not so good).

    Hello. Devices are supplied with the software that was installed at the factory. iOS 10 just came out after a long beta test, so he will not have been sent to repair. There is no way to update the devices in closed packaging. For example, you may need to wait for the next model again if you ask him to come with 10 installed iOS.

  • Why can't I download pages from apple for free on iPad mini 4?

    I was under the impression that iWorks is now downloadable for free on new devices, however, I am unable to dl mini apple iPad pages 4? Someone knows why? Or how can I? App Store gives me only option at $9.99

    Hello, Msquared23!

    Welcome to the communities of Apple Support!  I see you are trying to download the app to Pages on your new iPad mini 4.  I use iWork apps on my iPad all the time, so I can see why you would want to get it for yourself!  I'd be happy to help you.

    According to this document, it appears that these applications are free on the new iOS devices: get Apple apps for free on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

    As you see a price there instead of a 'Get' button, we will have to get you in touch with one of our counsellors in the iTunes Store, so they can focus on this with you.  Click on this link to reach:

    Contact the Apple Support - when you get there, click on "iTunes and Apple Music" and then "iTunes Store".

    Have a great rest of your day!

  • New SIM card new iPad mini 4 offer only AT & T refurb apple

    I bought an iPad mini 4 on the Apple refurb store. It came with no SIM card. I went to my local apple retail store, and you have a card SIM Apple (after assisted by about 3 people; they seemed barely even know what I was talking about). I put the card and went data cell in the settings. Under "Choose a date plan" is the only option (already checked) "AT & T - A & T - Postpaid" and under that in the fine print, it says "SIM expired." If I tap on "Add a new plan", the only option for the carrier that appears is AT & T. After reading all about the flexibility of the Apple SIM card, I am very frustrated that it does not work as advertised. I've heard talk about AT & T lock SIM card after you choose, but I never had the chance to make the choice.

    PS. a reboot didn't help.

  • Apple ipad business air Lock at access, need to recover or reinstall, help me.

    I have restored my air ipad because of the passcode lock and now the passcode lock disappeared, but another big problem occurred between the restoration. After the 'Hello' screen they ask LEONARDO ASSICURAZIONI S.R.L. account and password to access my ipad. I think that this ipad came from this company which named "LEONARDO ASSICURAZIONI S.R.L'.»» I got this ipad to my friend abroad. Even he doesn't know about it and now I am powerless. There is no way to access my ipad now. What can I do now? Can I reinstall software or something else?

    The question is, most likely, that Apple ID of the former owner is always associated with this device. Unless you can get with them to remove their Apple ID, you are almost out of luck.

    You can check if the locking Activation is always enabled on iPad.

  • How long Apple will support the iPad mini 1

    Hello fellow Apple lovers,.

    for my restaurant-bussiness I need 1 or 2 very basic iPads as cash-register using Lightspeed software. There no need again, at the top of the iPad Bill.

    My wholesaler suggested me 2 new iPad mini 1 which is a very affordable option. My question for you and apple is: how much time do you think this model to be supported?

    Thanks in advance for your response!

    Apple are not here, these are user forums, you will not get a response from them.

    The first generation iPad Mini supports the latest version of iOS (9.3.1), if it will support the next major release we won't know until Apple announces that it is compatible with (the speculation is not allowed on these forums). As it has only 512 meg RAM (Mini 2 and 3 have 1 gig; Mini 4 a 2 gig) is probably limited to updates of iOS it is likely to support.
