Even more photos of iPad 2 components. This give a good idea of button layout and size.
Customers in need of a whole unit replacement for their fourth generation iPad may now receive a newer and more capable iPad Air 2 as a substitute from Apple Stores and authorized service providers. Apple is implementing the new policy, allowing its repair staff to ship an iPad Air 2 for a unit replacement when stock of the aging and now discontinued 4th gen iPad isn’t available.
This tells me that Apple has placed a truly massive order for storage to consolidate it across their entire product lines. Can't wait for the Chipworks and iFixit tear downs.
Lately," I’ve heard a couple of complaints from a few of my friends who are new to iPhone/iOS. Having to type an extra two digits to log on is a big pain and, personally, I don’t blame them. As part of iOS 9, Apple now requires any new device (or old devices that have been restored to factory settings running iOS 9) to create a 6-digit passcode as part of the initial setup. Apple’s reasoning behind this centers around the idea that with more digits comes more combinations, making the passcode more difficult to crack."
