The Apple iPad Thread

Does anyone know if it's worth updating from 5.2.1 (iPad2) or whatever I'm on to IOS7? As everything just works at the mo.

The only thing is that now some apps require 6 or 7 which might start getting annoying.

Would earphones built for an Apple product work using an adapter on other non Apple products?

If it has the usual 35mm jack (which it would have), then it'll work on anything. Though the remote part probably won't function.

Yup its 3.5mm. My Samsung headphones are 1.5mm. The 3.5mm wouldn't fit in a Samsung would it ? Also would the integrated remote and microphone work on non Apple products ?

I thought all earphone jacks were 3.5mm (or 6.3 mainly headphones), so not seen or heard of a 1.5mm jack before. I suspect it is a 3.5mm and will work. The mic and remote 'probably' not, only on the item it's intended for.

There are smaller jack earphones 1.5mm.

I can find a 2.5mm but nothing for 1.5mm The 2.5mm rarely get used these days.

Sorry I meant cm instead of mm and also didn't notice its measured diameter not length

[Gary L]

It probably is the 2.5mm I'm thinking of then. I have a couple of things with them on but can't be bothered to have a look
