Got my iPad this evening and now drunk setting it up. I'm updating to 10.3.2 I think. So far I'm pleased with it.

For those who bought through Fido CS and couldn't get the $15 fee waived, don't give up!

Send a message through Share a Concern and a customer service manager will typically call you in a few days.

I just got the call today and the guy was very apologetic and confirmed in fact the CSR should have waived the $15 fee as iPad Mini is not available on Fido.ca. He said all CSR have access to the resource to waive the fee if the hardware purchase/upgrade cannot be performed online and instantly credited me the $15.

Wait, it looks super easy! Tap the Home button to take you to your iPad's Home Screen. Locate the "Settings" application, tap it, and scroll to the option labeled "General." Tap "General," and tap "Accessibility." Open "Zoom" and turn the slider to "ON."
Just don't blame me if you f it up. ;)

Oh wait... maybe you need to turn the slider to off, come to think of it. Ha! This is why copying and pasting isn't always a good thing.

Scratch that. Bought one from Bayshore Fido yesterday. Had to sign up for their $15 2 GB plan and the account fee shows up on my first invoice but is credited on my second or third invoice if i keep it that long.

Got the iPad mini 4 128 through Fido online chat yesterday. Wondering what iOS version it comes with.

Is that possible on default iOS?

When jailbroken, I use Springtomize 4. You can shrink the icons to any percentage and make as many rows and columns as you want.

128GB might be current. The 32GB are no longer being made by Apple so they had a chance of being on an older jailbreakable version since they may have been shelved.
Good luck!

Yeah, could be..I'll just wait for the next JB, when it comes.. TBH, the 10.2 jailbreak on ipad air 2 is a pain. It takes sometimes from 5-10 attempts before its successful (I haven't had the issue on my 6s) and the certificate expiration of 7 days is inconvenient. (I work around by using a developers certificate but for most its a headache, even the extender has to be worked around)

Now lets hope we have untethered jailbreak soon :)

I like the air 2, but since it only has 32GB of space it starts to be insufficient for things like PLEX.. I'll probably be posting it in BST shortly :)

Thanks. I tried a few times to figure out how to shrink icons but, like you said, I don't think there's a way to do it without a jb.

+1, jailbreaking currently isn't that easy for people.

Luca updated Yalu the other day for iPhone 7, resprings now don't force you into reboot where you have to run Mach Portal to get everything back (using Substrate Fix app was the workaround).

Either way you have to Fliza the ipa into the Ext3nder autosign folder and it renews before 7d, that's pretty much the untethered fix. Did the same on the iPad Mini, I agree it's glitchy running Yalu if you let the cert expire.

Hopefully, Pangu comes out with something easier. I would not recommend people update to 10.3.2 if they want to jb in the future. Apple may have closed something in it that Pangu is working on.

Shit this man knows his stuff.

I'm loving my 5th gen iPad. The software and overall experience is so much more polished than on my galaxy tab.

Now only how to get kodi and stb emu on my iPad lol.

No, assuming you mean back to the previous app, that is only an option in stock iOS when you leave Mail or Safari, in the top left corner you can tap and go back.
Otherwise, hold your finger down on the left of the page to open the App Switcher and go back (I find that cumbersome, so I use Tage, a jb tweak where you just swipe up from the bottom right corner and voila, App switcher). You can also use jb tweak "Activator" to invoke ANY action with ANY gesture, such as 3 finger swipe, or double tap the status bar as your "back button".

I can't get into it but there's a way to watch Movies and Live TV/sports, requires some profile management in your settings, and you don't need to be jailbroken, pretty much replaces Kodi.
Or if you're using Kodi to stream content from your computer/server, use AirVideo HD.

I'm on android and only use the iPad when I'm over at my daughter's place, and I just find myself instinctively reaching to touch where the back button would normally be all the time. There are so many times when I would go into the wrong menu, or open the wrong page, and just simply want to reverse one step, when instead, I'd end up having to press the home button and start over. Face With Tears Of Joy I guess it doesn't help that I'm only using ios occasionally.
