Taking pictures with my new iPad pro and not being able to annotate them with the Apple pencil is really annoying :(
This weekend Apple had many things to get done. One of the ugliest thing was iOS 9.3 issues and release of iOS 9.3.1 to fix the issues.
If Apple is increasing the 5.5″ model to 5.8″, can hope they do the same with 4.7″ to 5.0″.
Whats the clock on the left??
What clock is that?
I am very particular about the selfie cam.. will the downgrade from f/2.2 to f/2.4 be a deal breaker in terms of picture quality and shutter speed ?? The shutter speed with the first gen finger print sensor is a bigger turn off for me. Techies pls help me on the same. I find my 5s to be better in terms of selfies when compared to that of Iphone 5
The clock is a Nixie Tube Clock
I uploaded some Photos to my new IPAD Pro 9.7 and all the photos I edited in Photos that I had to rotate saved to my Photos with no issues but when I Emailed them they were received with black gray and white equally separted lines going through half the photograph. Solution none after consulation with supervisor of Photo App with AppleCare so until I go into Apple store for help I cannot rotate any photographs in Photo application that comes with IPAD software.
