Introduction

You have to wonder if anyone ever sleeps at Apple. Every year since 2010, there’s been a new iPad model, and every year since 2007, there’s been a new version of iOS, the operating system that powers the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. That’s meant a big change for iPad users every six months: either a new model or a revamped iOS. If anything, the pace is accelerating: Within a couple of months, Apple released iOS 6, a revised iPad with a faster processor and new connector, and — perhaps most significantly — the iPad mini, the smaller iPad that does everything a full-size iPad can at half the weight. The iPad just keeps getting better and better!

As with most Apple products, the iPad is beautifully designed and intuitive to use. And though my editors may not want me to reveal this dirty little secret (especially on the first page, for goodness sake), the truth is you’ll get pretty far just by exploring the iPad’s many functions and features on your own, without the help of this (or any other) documentation. Okay, now that I spilled the beans, I’ll tell you why you shouldn’t run back to the store and request a refund. This publication is chock-full of useful tips, advice, and other nuggets that should make your iPad and iOS 6 experience all the more pleasurable for both versions of the iPad. I’d even go as far as to say you won’t find some of these nuggets anywhere else. So keep this bookazine nearby and consult it often — but most important, enjoy your iPad!

IN THIS ARTICLE

• What you get with an iPad
• The iPad’s controls
• Setting up and managing the iPad

You’ve read about the iPad and iPad mini. You’ve seen news coverage of the lines at Apple Stores on the day it was released. You’re so intrigued that you’ve decided to get your own iPad to have fun, explore the online world, read e-books, organize your photos, and more.

You’ve made a good decision because the iPad redefines the computing experience in an exciting new way. It’s also an absolutely perfect fit for so many people: students, families, seniors, and businesspeople. Why? Because you can do so much with it, from accessing the web to reading books to playing games.

The full-size iPad boasts an amazingly sharp, detailed screen called the Retina display that transforms text and has opened the door to eye-popping games, HD movie-watching, and pro-level photo editing. And the iPad mini takes the iPad experience and shrinks it to a device you can carry almost anywhere, slip into a jacket or purse, and hold for hours, such as when reading or watching movies. Yet it does everything a full-size iPad does, with 85 percent of the screen size.
