    Sprint LTE iPad 4 announced

    in Tablets

    The "Apple tax" for all iPad/mini LTE variants is effectively $130. I am interested and have ample disposable income, but I question that the Qualcomm MDM9615 -- a good modem -- is worth that premium.

    IMO, it's worth it, especially since it's not under contract, so you can turn your data on/off monthly. I have had a wifi iPad and wound up exchanging it for the convenience of 3G. Tethering sounds interesting, but I would want to see the Sprint plans first.

    Where's the trade-in option?

     

    On the one hand, I don't mind keeping my third-gen iPad at all...it does what I want it to. But on the other, if I can upgrade to the newer model for around $200, I can deal with that, seeing as how the device is unlocked and coule be used with a variety of LTE networks here or overseas.

     

    Here's Apple's trade in calculator, but you can probably get a better deal at Gazelle.com

    I watched the livestream and the mini is certainly an impressive product. It hits the right notes for the Apple faithful. I thought the side-by-side comparison to the Android device did an excellent job of illustrating why one would might a mini over the Nexus.

     

    The screen resolution isn't what I expected, but I like the fact that it's compatible with existing apps without and coding.

    Do any of these iphone apps crowdsource the coverage to GPS data like the Android Sensorly app does? Really it's just a coverage viewer for iphone users.. or am I wrong?

    RootMetrics does upload coverage data collected by iPhones. It's the only one that I know of that does. It takes 5-10 minutes for your test to show on their map.

    iPhone Field Test Screen

    You can call *3001#12345#* to bring up the field test

    Hold down the power/sleep button until you get the power off screen

    Hold down the home button until you return to the home screen

     

    Now it will work. You can toggle between numbers/bars by tapping them.

    iPhone 5 signal fluctuates and drops 3G

    MacinJosh, are you saying to power off the phone to get the numeric signal strength to stay..?

     

     

    No, from the Field Test, when you hold down power, you'll get the power down slider screen. Don't power down. Hold down the home key and you'll eventually get to the home screen and have numerical signal strength.

    VoLTE vs 1x Advanced

    Sprint needs to deploy more HD voice devices. Having just the EVO 4G LTE phone with HD voice is not enough. Sprint needs to spread the love of more HD voice devices so that more and more Sprint customers who talk to each other can reap the benefits.

    Part of the problem is that Sprint's implementation is different than the rest of the world in some aspects. The iPhone, for example, supports HD Voice, but it's not compatible with Sprint's network. The same can be said for several Android phones.
