The new iPad bleeds color initially

though not as bad as iPad 2

iPad 3

iPad 2

Wow big improvement.

Already called the 24-hour Walmart near me and she confirmed they're selling them. No line at this point so it seems like an easy snag with minimal to no wait if you don't have a highly active store near you.

Pretty sure I'm going to show up at 10 and see what happens. If there's no one there I'll just wait and get one. If there's a crazy line, I'll just wait until tomorrow. No harm no foul.

PM me when you get there

 

[Technosteve]

tomorrow is going to suck, fuck you apple

My 2 24hr Walmarts told me that they each have 10, split between 16gb/32gb and wifi/4g. Didn't know the color so if it's an even split, thats 1 of each color/type guaranteed, with 2 that are probably the 16gb wifi ones. The employee that I spoke with at 1 store told me 5 other ppl have called asking since 4pm. Guess I'm gonna wait

I'm going to the one in Willow Grove, PA. Not that same one

I'm shocked they gave you stock information at all!

 

[Auron_Kale]

Like the light blue but I think the navy is too dark

I like the light blue, but I think it looks a bit too bright?

 

[kaskade]

Any good sites that'll have nice hi res wallpapers. It seems like there aren't maybe 4:3 at that high of a resolution. I really can't wait to see the screen. I WANT GLOWING PAPER.

 

[Tobor]

I got my in store pickup email confirmation! It's on like a Donkey Kong clone available in the App Store!

 

[Betta Lines]

Wow big improvement.

My iPad 2 had less backlight bleed than that iPad 3 photo. I did however, exchange it three times before I found one that didn't look like that iPad 2 photo.

I'm hoping my iPad 3 looks better than that iPad 3 photo, because that's still barely acceptable.

 

[Milpool]

Heads up uk gaf - possibility that JL will sell online at midnight for pickup instore tomorrow.

I just randomly refreshed and all the versions appeared on the left hand side, but they're all out of stock. Did I miss it or are they just preparing?

Me too, one guy at the first store sounded youngish and just started his shift, the other sounded like he was sick of answering the same questions. They both knew the answers by heart lol

 

[MThanded]

I'm betting some of those iPads at walmart will be gone before 12. Employees buying to resell.

[Appleman]

My iPad 2 bled pretty bad at max brightness in a black room, but I never really noticed it in use so I didn't bother to return it

[Dynamite Shikoku]

I wanna know two things:

How well do graphically heavy games run with new retina updates

How shit do ipad 2 res games look on the new screen

 

[Zeth]

Conshohocken, hi PA gaf

I had TERRIBLE light bleed on my launch iPad 2. I put it off for a while and then didn't have the balls to try and get a replacement in the month leading up to the new one.

 

[MercuryLS]

Supposedly the new iPad doesn't kick you back to the home screen every time you install an app. Can anyone confirm?

 

[Appleman]

Just took a gander at a 1st gen iPad screen, it really doesn't look bad at all. THIS IS GOING TO BE AMAZING

 

[planar1280]

thats an iOS feature if it exists

 

[Betta Lines]

Didn't they all stop doing that after iOS5?

 

[Waikis]

ebooks on this are amazing.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

my iPad will be arriving any minute now

 

[Enco]

Don't make me laugh. That makes too much sense.

Wow at that ebook pic. Might have to sell my Kindle..

Whoa. We've probably passed by at the King of Prussia Apple store.

 

[Jayayess1190]

Still does it on my iPod Touch 4th Gen. Also, Hola Philly GAF. I go to Pitt but parents live in Springfield Township (grew up in Mt. Airy)!

WOW.

[Technosteve]

there's alot of penn. gaf why don't we have a meetup at the king of Prussia mall lol

 

[elfinke]

Man I'm having a world of trouble joining wifi, aside from my iPhone hotspot feature.

Stupid work, probably stopped assigning new IP's to new devices to stop me from procrastinating all day.

 

[RubxQub]

I want to get everyone together for a "The Dark Knight Returns" IMAX camp/watch group from GAF at the KOP. Would be awesome

 

[Waikis]

I wanna know two things:

I just tried megamall story. It looks like shit on the new screen. blurry garbled mess.

Downloading ib2 with retina update now.

 

[Zeth]

Whoa. We've probably passed by at the King of Prussia Apple store.

Absolutely. I was there for iPad wifi/3G, and iPad 2, and some iPhones. Delivery this time :\ was a tough decision. Met quite a few nice folks near the front of the lines.

Ok so apparently the Infinity Blade 2 update is out, this is nuts. Weren't we all saying no 3D games will run at retina resolution? Yeah, we were definitely saying that.

What's the new file size on IB2?

 

[Woz]

Any good sites that'll have nice hi res wallpapers. It seems like there aren't maybe 4:3 at that high of a resolution. I really can't wait to see the screen. I WANT GLOWING PAPER.

Keep an eye on Louie Mantia's site. He said is going to upgrade his wallpaper page.

 

[Felix Lighter]

My new iPad went from Middletown, PA -> Harrisburg, PA -> Newwark, NJ -> Middletown, PA. Seems a little inefficient.

 

[Jill Sandwich]

6th in the queue at Sheffield Meadowhall. They have the black curtain up and are playing Rainbow really loud inside. Getting pumped up!

 

[Betta Lines]

Don't make me laugh. That makes too much sense.

Well.... I swear something was different involving the installation of apps. Maybe re-downloading apps from the cloud? When I reset my iPad, I went to the App Store and looked at my app history, that you can sort as 'all' or 'not in this iPad'. When you used to install something from there, it would go back to the home screen each time, but I'm pretty sure the last time I did it, I was able to set loads of them going, without the list resetting itself after each one...

Ah right I was talking about downloading apps normally. Really wish it didn't kick you out then.

Would make app shopping so much easier.

How long until release? In hours/minutes I mean.

My new iPad went from Middletown, PA -> Harrisburg, PA -> Newwark, NJ -> Middletown, PA. Seems a little inefficient.

Mine made the same loop but ended at a different sort facility. I'm guessing you live closer to Middletown than Philadelphia

Another comparison of Ipad 3 vs paper. Pardon the shitty phone camera.

Yeah, I live in Williamsport, PA but it's being delivered to my job in Lewisburg, PA.

eInk is really impressive IMO.
