Got an iPad and thinking of buying a newer one

Posted by Allan Campbell on 26/7/2025, 10:38 pm

My I pad that I’m using to write this is about 2 years old and there’s something not right with it. Going to take it to the local Apple independent shop.

So in February bought a 2025 model.

Maybe I should have paired it with the older one. But didn’t wish to.

The new works similar to the old BUT!

They have done away with the ? Power? button on the right hand side and you have to sweep up from the bottom of the screen to bring up the apps panel.

It’s now difficult to switch off the iPad , you often just take a photo.

It’s taken me months to get the new to work and I cannot ask the granddaughter as see uses more top of the range Apple gear ? Apple Mac? Anyway she is away cricketing a lot of the time these days.

You can I understand buy 2024 models but for how long?

Why do we want to know this.
Just go and buy one, no need to tell the world.
Ive bought things recently and kept it quiet.
We bought a three piece suite last week & no one knows because who would want to listen

Ernie, a little unkind I think, or is it just your way of letting us all know you have a new “ Three Piece Suite”😀

Davy, you remind me of the kid at school who kept in the good books of the school bully so they didn't get it next.
Ernie, come on mate, absolutely no need for that post at all.A lot of the threads on here have little interest for a lot of the board readers, but manners and civility are usually taken as a must.
If it's of no interest....just move on to a new one SIMPLE
