I always use this one.

Then test the different colors to check.
I think best buy's return period is 14 days, you won't have any problem in that time frame especially if you are exchanging for something more expensive.

I ended up returning the air today, for my use cases I prefer the more compact mini.
Use mine mainly at home so the smaller size doesn't make sense. iPad Air is the real deal. Maybe even the realest. I'm not sure yet.

Apple will swap out iPads even if you buy them from another retailer??
I don't like the mini.
The 10 inch iPad is the right size. Because the iPad mini has the same resolution as the larger iPad everything is shrunken so all the text and buttons and things are just smaller.
The proper way to design the iPad mini was to have a different resolution to the iPad Air so that things are the same proportion as the iPad Air... obviously for app designers this would have meant doing double the work and some apps like games and things would need design balance again.
But thats why for me iPad Air is the right size - comfort wise.

that's every tablet and phone. different people like different sizes. you just have to try for yourself...
Yeah, the iDevices have a one year warranty (more if you get Applecare I suppose) and apple support will cover anything under that warranty. So it doesn't matter where you bought your iPad Air, for example: dead pixels are covered under warranty. Make an appointment at an Apple Store, they'll check it out and swap it.
The only thing they won't do is a straight return, obviously, as it was purchased from a different retailer.
Sold my Nexus 7 (won it in a contest at work) because I'd rather have an iPad again. I had an iPad 2 and loved it, but I am having a serious dilemma between the iPad Air and the iPad Mini w/ Retina. Is it really $100 more just for 2 inches of screen space? Is there no performance upgrade at all?
My wife has an iPad mini and I like the feel of it, and if the $100 difference really is for 2 extra inches of screen size, I may very well hold off for the iPad M w/ R. Thoughts?

Sounds like you want the mini, so wait for the mini retina.
Have you physically held the Mini yet? You should do that first before making any decisions.
If you're unsure always buy direct from Apple. They are very flexible when it comes to returns.
The Air is likely to perform very slightly better than the mini due to the bigger chassis (and thus better thermals and therefore it can operate at peak performance for longer), but it's unlikely to be a noticeable difference in most situations.
Ultimately it comes down to what screen size you prefer.
Currys and PC world in the UK are doing a cashback deal on tablets at the moment - £30 back from a 16/32GB ipad air, or £50 off a 64GB air (or higher). Also off ipad mini and 2, and android tablets.
So only £369 for a 16GB ipad air - almost 10% off which is pretty good this soon after launch. Almost regret buying from apple on day one.

In situation of high contrast (black pixel on white background) is very easy to notice.

Safari on my air has been crashing to the desktop a decent amount. Kinda annoying.
Safari has been fine for me; Chrome has not. I'm surprised this happens. Coming from a 1st gen to the Air, I expected browser crashes to be a thing of the past.
Tesco Direct are doing it for £369 upfront with a voucher, no cashback required. http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/ipa...stock-tesco-direct-with-30-00-off-369-1696696
(edit, already gone, sorry)
Mine too, it's infuriating. Very rarely happened on my old 4.
What's everyone been getting for battery life? I've kept mine in standby and have downloaded apps, opened programs, browsed the web and played some games and it only lasted me 7 hours and 22 minutes. Is it expected that the battery will drain a lot faster when playing games? I played some infinity blade II.
Absolutely.
Same here.
It's the same with my 5S. I took it into the store for a separate issue and they ran their analysis. I supposedly have a number of crashes (15 I think) that is too high to be normal.
Fucking iOS 7 is getting the blame from me.
I'm seeing similar battery life to my 4. Browsing consumes 10% per hour, videos consume less, graphics intensive games consume more.
I ordered this when it cost 1 cent (pricing error I think.) Will report back when I get it on whether it's good, but the previous generation versions received good reviews.

This is coming out Nov 10th. I always go with Poetic cases, great value for the money:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CW1N6CY/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Any idea how heavy that is? Can't seem to find it
That's pretty amazing. I hope I can find a good deal on the retina mini. The 32gb one is going to hurt my wallet. Why you premium price Apple
Doesn't that almost double the weight?

Got one today and as someone who's been exclusively a mini user lately this thing looks and feels huge.

Anyone find any smart cases for ipad Air in canada?
They seem to be sold out everywhere.

Ya I'm having a tough time adjusting
I downloaded a legit mp3 of a DJ mix from Soundcloud to my PC - is there any way to have that available to stream to my iPad like my iTunes purchases do? For Android Google Play music handles this automatically.
I tried adding the mp3 to itunes on my PC but it doesn't seem to have worked - it doesn't have the cloud in the top right of the album art like the others do.

iTunes Match is the only Apple way to do what you want (and it costs a yearly subscription).
