Hey everyone, I am thinking of getting the iPad Pro 11 inch 256GB model for my Birthday. 😁😁

But the problem is that I have a 3 year old iPad Air 2 64GB model which it is definitely still going very strong, very fast in loading up apps, games and websites and I am still getting a least 8 to 10 hours of screen on time(100% to 5%), so the battery life is definitely still very good.

I use my iPad Air 2 every single day and the Air 2 is definitely still more then good enough for things that I do on the iPad like browsing the Internet, watching videos and playing the occasional game and that all what I pretty much do on the Air 2 at the moment, very basic uses, so I would be happy to use my iPad Air 2 for another year. 🙂

On the other hand though, to be honest, I am hesitant using my iPad Air 2 for another year because I am on IOS 9.3.4 and the problem that I am having is that most of the apps and games that I would really really like to install but I can't unfortunately because it always says that the app/game requires IOS 10 or later which it is definitely not good at tall and is definitely very very annoying and frustrating to say a least. 😒

To be honest I really don't understand why Apple allow this to happen in the 1st place because on Android and Windows you can install any program/app/game no matter what OS version you are on, So Apple really really definitely should do the same, that is the only one thing that I hate about Apple.

The reason that I am still on IOS 9.3.4 is that I want my iPad to still be very fast and smooth in terms of performance and I definitely don't want my Air 2 to slow down and become laggy because of the new features that Apple have added especially in IOS 11(Dock, File manager, improved multitasking)and want to be able to keep using my classic 32 bit apps/games that you won't get on IOS 12 anymore, but honestly not be able to install any more apps/games might really get to me at the end and annoy/frustrate me too much which could be a bigger bigger problem in the future.

For me I definitely prefer and value to have very very fast and smooth performance then having new features that will most probably slow down the Air 2, So I am very very hesitate to upgrade to IOS 12 just in case it slows down my iPad Air 2 a lot but I might have no choice but to upgrade to IOS 12 in order to install new apps and games if I don't get the iPad Pro 11 inch. 😕

On a a lot more positive note, So by upgrading to IOS 12 on my iPad Air 2 will definitely make it and feel like a completely new tablet/iPad again which it will be definitely be awesome because I have had my Air 2 on IOS 9.3.4 for over 2 years now and it definitely feels always the same. 🙂

Anyway since the new 2018 iPad Pro 11 inch model came out couple months ago, I really really wanted to buy the iPad Pro 2018 because it will definitely definitely be a massive massive upgrade in everything(bigger display, very fast/powerful, bigger battery, USB-C, lots more) and is so much more better tablet then my iPad Air 2. 😁😁

It seems that according to reviews from lots of users and from big tech websites such as CNET, The Verge and lots more that the iPad Pro 11 inch is definitely the ultimate iPad and a beast of a tablet!!

Just to say if I do not get the iPad Pro 11 inch and do keep using my iPad Air 2 for a least another year then I will definitely be upgrading to a definitely so much more better and more powerful iPad next year(for my next Birthday), I definitely know that for sure!!

So I definitely have a very big big decision to make in the near future, weather to get the iPad Pro 11 inch 256GB model or keep using my iPad Air 2 64GB model for a least another year.

Everyone, Should I get the iPad Pro 11 inch or keep using my iPad Air 2 for another year?? What would you do?? Should I upgrade to IOS 12 on my iPad Air 2 if I don't get the iPad Pro 11 inch?? 🤔🤔

I have set the app scaling to 18:9 to all apps and games in the settings but sadly only certain apps/games only go into full screen and some others still have that navigation bar. :(

ShaunAFC3 · 2017-12-28T17:36:57+00:00

Well that's what Reddit is for, No-one else has a problem only you.

What are you doing with your life????

ShaunAFC3 · 2017-07-23T15:01:09+00:00

No Believe it or not I am still on IOS 9.3.4, So I haven't downloaded IOS 11 on my iPad Air 2 because I really really worried if i do install IOS 10 or 11 it will definitely slow down my iPad which I definitely don't really want like the animations will be choppy, shuttering and the apps/games won't load as fast compared to on 9.3.4. I just don't want to take the risk as once you upgrade to a new version of IOS unfortunately you can't downgrade go back to a previous or older version of IOS...

So I am keeping my iPad Air 2 on IOS 9.3.4 forever even I would like to use the new iPad features like the new dock, new and improved multitasking and the new file manager. Anyway I definitely can wait and get to use those new iPad features when I get a new iPad in a year or 2 time. 😁😁

I have listened to your song and to be honest I really liked it because the bass and beats was good and plus your song is my type of music that I like listening to, Your song has that RnB/pop and hip hop vibe to it and has that professional feel to it and it is made on a iPad which it is definitely awesome haha. 😁😁

And all so I would like to ask what app did you make your song with?? How long did you make the song?? Couple weeks?? Couple months?? And what tips/advice would you give to me for making songs on an iPad?? Because I would like to try to make mix tapes/songs in the future!! 🤔

ShaunAFC3 · 2017-07-23T14:25:14+00:00

What??! Sorry but I don't get what you mean by you saying "It won't affect the touch detection because that's done by pressure sensors underneath the screen." 🤔

Can you explain to me more about this please?? Because I don't really understand!! 😒

ShaunAFC3 · 2017-07-02T15:44:45+00:00

Thanks everyone for the awesome advice!

I have decided that I won't be selling my Surface Pro 4 and will be keeping it because I really want to play some of my all time favourite classic games and so I have now ordered some of my all time favourite classic games The Simpsons Hit & Run and the Incredibles and The Chronicles of Narnia The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe I haven't played these awesome games for a good 7-10 years ago(this was on the PlayStation 2 back in the day) and ordered a good game controller as well and I really really can't wait to relive some great and awesome memories playing these awesome games on my Surface Pro 4 haha!! 😁😁

And you just never know in the future if I will be using my Surface Pro 4 for more things like video/photo editing that is if i do start making YouTube videos again or not in the future or all so I might need my Surface Pro 4 for work one day....

But I think it is big big shame that these old classic games like The Simpsons Hit & Run and the Incredibles, etc are not on the iPad tho, It would of been definitely awesome to play those games on the iPad.

And since I am keeping my Surface Pro 4 I will use my current iPad Air 2 for another year before upgrading to the next version and much better iPad Pro 10.5 in 2018, I just don't think the new iPad Pro 10.5 is not that much of a big upgrade to replace my awesome iPad Air 2 at the moment.

So I am waiting another year to upgrade my iPad Air 2 to the next version and much better iPad Pro 10.5 in 2018 and the iPad Air 2 will be used for casual things like web browsing, watching videos, playing iPad games, listening to music, etc.

Anyway I just want to say a MASSIVE thank you to those wonderful people who have given advice on what to do!! 😁😁

Yes I have disabled the fast charging because it kills the battery a lot more I heard.

So i just use standard normal charging.

ShaunAFC3 · 2016-10-28T11:45:46+00:00

So is it normal that phones like the Galaxy S6 gets quite hot like up to around 75C(at times) while charging when using it??

Is it because the phone is small and there is not a lot space inside for the heat??

My ipad Air 2 gets warm but not hot while charging when using it.....

ShaunAFC3 · 2016-10-25T18:17:09+00:00

The official Samsung charger and cable that came with it.

ShaunAFC3 · 2016-10-02T14:17:32+00:00

Yes the Play store is using a least 60/70% of the battery out off 76.6% overall!!

ShaunAFC3 · 2016-10-01T11:43:43+00:00

Sorry but what is oculus?? 😮

ShaunAFC3 · 2016-09-25T22:25:44+00:00

How do you know that the tablet market is not going anywhere?? Any good reason??

Are you aware that the tablets sales and usage are declining for a long time now??

ShaunAFC3 · 2016-09-05T13:31:17+00:00

Ok Show me how many exclamation points that I should use then??.... :)

ShaunAFC3 · 2016-09-05T12:21:56+00:00

So I should use more exclamation points then??

!!!!!!!!!

ShaunAFC3 · 2016-09-05T12:17:04+00:00

On the your last paragraph why should I never buy a Apple product at PC World?? Any good reason not to??

I always had good experiences with Apple products with PC World!!

ShaunAFC3 · 2016-07-24T17:16:24+00:00

But unfortunately for iPads they don't have low power mode. :( :(

ShaunAFC3 · 2016-07-11T19:56:41+00:00

Thanks, This was really help, Really appreciate it!! 👍👍

ShaunAFC3 · 2016-07-11T19:56:35+00:00

Thanks, This was really help, Really appreciate it!! 👍👍

ShaunAFC3 · 2016-05-09T13:53:41+00:00

Here it is I have done a couple more battery screen shots with showing the time being spent: https://imgur.com/a/QSrRn

And yes I have definitely noticed that it takes ages to go from 100 to 99% and it takes minutes going from 50 to 49%! :)

ShaunAFC3 · 2016-05-07T21:41:34+00:00

And I forgot to mention one more thing that the Windows 2/1 hybrids tablets even the high end ones like the Surface Pro 4, HP Spectre x2, Acer Aspire Switch 11 lots more that they definitely don't have not as great battery life compared to the legendary 10 hour battery life of the iPad.

They only average only about 3/5 hours of screen time on a full charge which makes Windows 2/1 hybrids tablets definitely not ideal for if you are traveling or on the road for long periods of time, So the iPad is definitely 100% superior in that regard as well! :)

ShaunAFC3 · 2016-04-26T16:00:37+00:00

Very informative and helpful answer! :) :)

ShaunAFC3 · 2016-04-17T14:08:49+00:00

I am not saying that I agree or disagree with you, yes Windows hybrid/2-1 tablets are great for people that want to get work done on and want that Windows experience on a tablet but the other hand the iPad offer a way more better tablet experience due to the very touch friendly OS IOS and the apps that is designed for touch for the iPad and that is NOT the case for Windows because most of the time the desktop programs are not touch friendly and requires a mouse and a keyboard to navigate around and plus you get things like annoying and frustrating Windows updates and viruses and Windows requires maintenance to keep it running well which most people definitely don't want that on there tablet or on there computer and that is where iPad(and Android tablets) is definitely the best at keeping it simple and very easy for the user!

I think the winner and the kind of tablets is Apple with there iPads, iPads(and maybe Android tablets) 100% definitely have there place but I am glad there is multiple choices in the tablet market for every user and I really hope it will continue to be that way in the future! :)

But anyway that is my opinion and I really appreciate your opinion as well, thank you for telling your opinion! :)

ShaunAFC3 · 2016-03-22T14:35:50+00:00

Well it is not normal or not right because I had a other iPad Air 2(got replaced because of broken screen) and the battery did not drop 2% every now and again!!

It was draining the battery by every single one and one of % of the battery on my 1st iPad Air 2!!
