    iPad 2019 iPad Air Does NOT Support USB 3.0

    USB 3 speeds are supported only on iPad Pro. I was hoping this statement was not true, because it's 2019 and this a new iPad but looks like it is. I chatted with Apple Support and they could not confirm that the latest iPad Air supports USB 3. It was surprising that they did not have technical...

    Purchased iPad Air that is blacklisted...will I get in trouble?

    long story short, I bought an iPad Air 32GB WiFi + Cellular (ATT Unlocked) on eBay from a very reputable company. I’m an avid eBay seller as well. I was so excited to get it, as it’s my first iPad I’ve ever owned. Upon getting it, it worked great. But when I put in an ATT and Verizon SIM card...

    Is my iPad Air 1 dead?

    This fantastic machine has been used heavily by me since the end of 2013, and it was updated right through 11.0.1 with no problems. But now it’s apparently not charging or dead. It’s been plugged in for two days, I tried cleaning the lightning port contacts, I swapped chargers and cords, and...

I'm currently holding off updating but I do want to upgrade if it doesn't make my device unusable. Should I just upgrade...

    So believe it or not, my iPad Air 2 is still on the factory iOS 8.4.1.

    So, I've owned an iPad Air since 2014, and I don't think it had any screen retention when I first bought it, but then again, I probably just never noticed. I only realized that it started to create faint images of pretty much any apps that I open for more than 5 minutes (or even less). The ghost...
