I have found that my iPad 1 is practically useless in the cockpit because of the bright light.

Is this true for all the various editions of the iPad?????

Thanks, Bill Hogarty

 

Hi Bill,

 

I have the newest iPad, the iPad 4 (Apple calls it the iPad with Retinal Display).  My friend has an original iPad 1.  We held them side by side at the airport on a sunny day and I couldn't tell any difference between the brightness of the two displays. 

 

So far, I've always been able to read my iPad in the cockpit, finding the right angle to avoid glare, but I'm getting a canopy sunshade soon to make it easier.

 

Best,

Dennis
