iPad 2 instructions for use. Instructions for iPad. Opening programs and switching between them

While its older brother was reducing its “volumes”, the new version of the iPad mini, on the contrary, increased in size to accommodate the following:

7.9 inch LCD screen with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 at 326 pixels/inch
Dual-core A7 CPU with 64-bit architecture and 1 GB RAM
M7 motion tracking coprocessor
5 MP rear iSight camera with 1080p video recording and 1.2 MP front camera with 720p video recording
802.11n dual-channel Wi-Fi MIMO
Supports memory cards of 16, 32, 64 or 128 GB

Step 2

We like to start looking at items with their ID number. Today's is A1489. A unique model number for a unique device. Apple's high-end handhelds are getting an unusual new color scheme: Space Gray. And we note that the iPad mini is still small enough to fit in one hand.

Step 3

We've never opened an iPad Mini with Retina Display before, but we think we can handle it. A little effort and we open the front panel of the iPad. As you can see here there is a ridiculously small amount of glue.

Step 4

We are starting to remove the nominal update to this Mini: the Retina Display. Compared to last year's, this one has added 0.3mm due to the introduction of additional pixels and, perhaps, this is a significant difference compared to, for example, the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 inches, which is only 7.8 mm thick, but has an incredibly simple introductory procedure and a maintainability score of 7 out of 10.

Step 5

It looks like Apple saved money this time. The 16 screws in the previous iPad Mini's LCD screen plate must have been considered excessive; now we count only 7. Otherwise, it is very similar to the previous one, there are even places left for now outdated screws, pay attention to this when buying spare parts for Apple in bulk. We disconnect the bracket to release the LCD along with the cable channel.

Step 6

There have been rumors about a lot of problems associated with the introduction of updates to the "Mesh Display" and that it greatly reduces performance, slowing down the new Mini. This is quite interesting. Let's see.

Our little Retina has an LG display powered by the Parade DP675 LCD driver, which was also found in the iPad Air. Here are TI TPS65143A and a pair of TI TPS65195, most likely the power supply for LCD ICs.

While "Mini" is typically used to denote devices with reduced functionality, this version of the iPad offers a 2048 x 1536 resolution - exactly the same as the iPad Air. The same resolution on a smaller screen means improved pixel density - 326 ppi on the Mini compared to 264 ppi on the Air. Regarding the display resolution, it turns out that the Mini is not a stripped-down version at all, but quite the opposite.

Step 7

Let's move on. We're not surprised to find Broadcom BCM5976 dual touchscreen controllers here—they're used in several Apple products, including the iPad Air and iPhones 5 and 5s. Just great news for suppliers of spare parts for mobile and tablets!

Step 8

Finally we reach the iPad battery. And here's what it says: 3.75V, 24.3Whr, 6471mAh - a huge blow to the 16.3Whr batteries seen in the previous Mini. It seems that we have found the reason for the increase in the size of the Retina version. Despite these new specifications, Apple still lists battery life at 10 hours. And we suspect the new battery capabilities are aimed at supporting the performance of the updated display.

Step 9

The new design of the battery now created in 2 cells means more glue, more connecting links and requires more force on our part to rip that iPad battery out of the device. Well, as always, we managed to do it.

Step 10

Let's put the battery aside and continue digging into the remaining components of the tablet. Let's move on to the front camera first. It's still listed as 1.2 megapixel, 720p and labeled 821-1752-A.

On the back is a regular 5-megapixel camera. The camera's actual spec sheet states that it now has stabilization, which is great for us, but may be disappointing for the dozens of people who are used to enjoying the photos they take with their iPad.

Step 11

Now we can easily remove the headphone jack. The tiny ICs around the headphone jack appear to be an audio frequency amplifier. Exactly the same as was found in Air. But we have no idea who produced it. It's great when two different versions of the iPad use the same components, it saves a lot of money when purchasing spare parts from Apple in bulk.

Step 12

Building on Formicidaean's design cues for the iPad Air, the Mini has increased Wi-Fi efficiency by adding two antennas.

Step 13

So, we have only one component left. Last year's only Wi-Fi Mini had a blank space at the end of the logic board - just a flat space where the cellular chips were in the CDMA/GSM version. The Retina Mini board has a sleek outline instead. I'd like to hope this is just a cool weight-saving maneuver from Apple, because the other alternatives that come to mind are scary. We also notice the USI 339S0213 Wi-Fi module, which we saw in the iPad Air.

Step 14

Apple A7 APL0698 SoC - This is the same part number as seen on the iPhone 5s, as opposed to the 1.4GHz hotrod version of the iPad Air. Great, we buy spare parts for cell phones wholesale and supply them to restored iPad Minis.
A7 LPDDR3 DRAM Elpida 1 GB F8164A1PD
NXP LPC18A1 (Apple M7 motion coprocessor)
Toshiba THGBX2G7B2JLA01 16 GB NAND flash
B334 STMicro MEMS accelerometer/gyroscope, same as seen in iPad Air. Notice that there are a lot of similarities with this Air.

Step 15

More chips because we love chips. We open spare parts catalogs on Apple wholesale and check:

Apple 338S1213 Cirrus audio codec
Apple 338S1199 - likely a pair of audio amplifiers similar to the Apple 338S1077 found in the previous iPad mini
Apple 343S0656-A1
Fairchild semiconductor FDMC6676BZ and MOSFET FDCM6683

Step 16

Repairability of iPad Mini Retina Display: 2 out of 10 (where 10 is the easiest to repair).

The LCD and glass are not glued together and can be replaced independently. This is convenient and big savings when purchasing spare parts for Apple in bulk.
The battery is not soldered to the iPad's logic board or other components.
Tiny screws can get lost or get mixed up and put back out of place.
The glue binds too many components together - front glass, battery, front camera, rear camera, ribbon cables - making it extremely difficult to repair.
The Lightning connector is soldered onto the logic board and therefore do not bend its pins.
You will need to be extremely careful during disassembly when attempting to remove internal components as there are hidden screws.

Poor repairability, but an incredible benefit for iPad mini 2 parts suppliers. There will probably be 5-10 modules suitable for both iPhone and iPad of various versions. Buy wholesale spare parts for cell phones and tablets from our company on favorable terms.

This article is intended for those who have not dealt with an iPad before. . Every year there are fewer and fewer such users, as Apple tablets are rapidly gaining popularity. However, often experienced users do not fully realize how rich functionality their device has. Due to ignorance, many options remain untested. But they can make the life of a Tablet PC owner more comfortable.

This material is more for “dummies”, a kind of mini-instructions for use. A detailed description of how to use the iPad Air 2 or another device model will not be possible in one article. We will look at the main points that a new owner of a gadget faces.

If you want to get the first information about the iPad and what it is for dummies, read on.

If you still don’t know, we inform you that tablets use cards of a special format – Micro. To choose such a SIM card for your iPad, you can follow one of 2 paths. The first thing is to cut a regular card to the desired size. There is nothing complicated about this procedure. You can find instructions on how to do this online. Some resources even offer templates, which you can print to help you complete the procedure accurately and accurately. Just keep in mind that this is always a risk as the card may stop functioning.

And the second thing is going to the salon to get the required SIM card and block the old one. Of course, the number will be saved. Usually this operation takes no more than 5 minutes and is done free of charge. Just don't forget to take your passport with you.

Turn on the tablet

Even such a simple procedure causes difficulties for some. The fact is that when you buy a new device and try to turn it on, it asks for a SIM card and activation.

We've sorted out the cards, but what about the second one?

Here you will need a PC/laptop or a Wi-Fi connection. In general, there is a myth circulating among “dummies” that it is impossible to use a tablet without a PC. It's not like that at all. A PC is required only when the device is turned on for the first time on operating systems of four variations. Starting with the iPhone 4S model, a PC is not required at all.

In order to activate an iPad running on iOS 4, you should install the iTunes utility on your PC. Next, you need to connect the tablet to it and execute all the commands that will appear on the screen. Everything is quite simple there.

Useful points when working with iPad

If you are a girl, be sure to buy a case for your device. So, when carrying the device in a handbag, it will get scratched by other things and objects.
Buy a film to protect your display. Of course, this is not at all necessary, but it is highly desirable. The element has an oleophobic layer that repels fat. This protects the tablet from getting stained with grease stains, and it’s also easy to care for it by simply wiping it with a dry cloth. There is no need to wipe the display when using the film.
For a stand and overnight charging of the device, it is good to buy a docking station. Its cost is low, especially if you make a purchase on eBay (about 200 rubles). Just keep in mind that accessories with a headphone jack switch the gadget to silent mode when it is placed. If you don't like this, cut the track near the resistor inside the element.
When traveling abroad, be sure to disable the data transfer option. This is done to prevent cards from being opened inadvertently or at high cost while roaming.

How to transfer old contacts to iPad?

This is one of the most important tasks that interests every new owner of an Apple tablet. For this purpose, exchange data with the old device via Outlook. For each iPad model, this is done using different methods, using special software from the developer.

And after that you should exchange contacts with iTunes - the utility will upload them to the tablet.

We upload photos and music

For this purpose, again, iTunes is an indispensable tool. She's not very fast, but it is what it is. The upload operation is referred to here as synchronization.

To start the operation, you need to select a specific file in the program and click on the synchronization button. The same is true in the opposite direction - photo frames from the tablet will be copied to the PC/laptop.

Many users are worried about how to transfer video clips to iPad. There are rumors among inexperienced users that you can’t just view an AVI file on a device. Of course, there is some truth in this. But just install a special player and you can watch whatever your heart desires. The most common program known to everyone is AVPlayer. With its help, you can use a file with absolutely any extension.

What to do with the absence of a flash drive?

Yes, this drawback of an almost perfect device ruins the lives of many iPad owners. But for some, the built-in memory is enough, and they don’t even notice any inconvenience, using the device for many years. After all, you don’t have to download any content to your tablet at all, but view/listen to everything online. And the fact that the user will not see any flash banners is only a plus.

Is it necessary to register with the AppStore?

For those who don’t know, this is a store from the Apple company where you can freely download or buy programs. You can legally install the software only from here. There is also an illegal method on “jailbroken” devices. But we will not talk about this within the framework of this material, since our goal is to give initial ideas about the iPad.

Therefore, registration in the store is strictly required. Without it, the operation of the tablet will be incomplete.

All purchases here are made with credit cards. But don't be afraid of the prices. Most programs are freely available. And paid products usually have a low cost of about 1-3 dollars.

By the way, you will need a card of a type that can be used to pay online. There is a way to register without it, but then you will need to purchase free software.

Desktop icons

Everything here is banal and obvious. Click on any element and hold your finger in that position. After a short period, the icons will vibrate and can be dragged. If you put one element on top of another, a folder will be formed. Here you can erase the software using taps using the red lines in the corners.

To exit the correction mode, click Home once.

If you need to remove standard elements, be aware that this is impossible. You can only disable them through the restrictions settings.

Understanding iCloud

It's time to get acquainted with the “cloud” and its functions. This service is designed to save many types of content - photos, contacts and more. Everything happens on Apple servers and is saved there (just in case or for exchanging data between several gadgets).

And “Photostream” is also worth highlighting for convenient services. Its essence is such that everything that the user films is uploaded to the “cloud”. Photo frames are automatically sent to all iOS devices linked to the account. If the user has a tablet and a PC, then by activating this service and taking a photo, it will instantly appear in the folder on the computer. No cords or pumping procedures are required. As you might have guessed. Everything is done via Wi-Fi. I must admit, a very convenient and comfortable option. Its connection is made in the settings.

We protect your tablet from theft or loss

Finally, about the most important thing. Here, in the “cloud” settings, you can enable the tablet search option. In the unpleasant situation of theft/loss of the device, then the user will be able to see where his iPad is currently located. It will also be possible to put a block on it, send SMS and even erase all information - and all this remotely.

To prevent a scammer who stole your device from disabling this important setting, set restrictions on changes. For this purpose, put a ban on all kinds of changes in your account.

But don’t think that this operation is a panacea for all ills. If the person who stole the iPad is not an amateur, but a professional, he will easily bypass your protection. This is done through a complete flashing of the device. But this does not mean that the recommendation can be ignored.
