If you’re having trouble with app / music purchases on your iPhone or iPad, the problem might be due to the country region settings. For instance, you may have a credit card with an address in one country but your iPhone might have been set up in another country so the regions would be different.
Note that your country region should correspond to the billing address you’ve specified in your Apple ID profile.
It’s relatively simple to change the whole thing though. But make sure the country region you select corresponds to the address that you’ve listed under the credit card billing address.
Here’s how to change the App Store Country or Region right on your iPhone or iPad:
Step 1: Go to Settings
Step 2:Scroll down and tap on ‘iTunes & App Purchases’
Step 3: Tap on the field that says ‘Apple ID:’
Step 4: Tap ‘View Apple ID’
Step 5: Tap on ‘Country Region’
Step 6: In the next screen tap ‘Change Country or Region’
Step 7: Now, select the country from the list
Step 8: When the iTunes & App Store Terms of Service page is shown, tap on “Agree”
Step 9: Once done, you will have to review your payment method and details. This is where your card’s address will be cross-checked with the given country region and address. Make sure you provide a bank account/card detail that has the chosen country in its address. Click on ‘Next’ and you’re done. You’ll have to provide the correct ZIP and other address details.
Remember:
If you are changing your country region, note that some apps might not appear in your iTunes/App Store. In those cases, you may find it hard to get the particular app on your iPhone.
If your credit card information doesn’t match with the country region you’ve selected, you are most likely going to get an error message. Without valid credit card information for the specified country, you can choose ‘None’ but you might have to enter payment information when you purchase something from the App Store.
If none of the top 10 tablets here take your fancy then head on over to our tablet reviews pages, where you’ll find in-depth reviews for many more models.
Let us know your thoughts on the top 10 (and whether you think we’ve got the order wrong) in the comment box below.
1. Sony Xperia Tablet Z
Sleek, powerful, iconic – these are all words used to describe the impressive tablet from Sony,
The brand has been plugging away in the mobile space for a few years, but now the combination of the Sony Xperia Z and Tablet Z show that the Japanese brand is bringing us devices that the public can finally really lust after.
And that’s one of the things we liked about the Tablet Z: it’s light, really light, yet looks premium too. Sony has surpassed expectation with this and delivered a tablet that wouldn’t look out of place in a business class lounge or at the centre of a home entertainment network.
It’s waterproof too – sure, you might not use that feature a whole lot, but it gives it an air of ruggedness that puts your mind at ease when manhandling something that costs so much.
2. Google Nexus 7
The new Nexus 7 has finally landed to take over from the original 7-inch effort from Google, and packs a 1.5Ghz quad core processor, 2GB of RAM and comes with either 16GB or 32GB of storage
Offered up at just 260g, it’s the perfect tablet for slinging in a bag and hurtling down to the local supermarket, or is equally adept at being a long-haul saviour, with reams of apps, a decent slug of battery life and that all-new high-res 7-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 display with 323 ppi.
It’s a little more expensive than the previous model was at launch, with prices set to begin at £199 for the 16GB option and £239 for the 32GB variant – and it’s worth remembering that the OS takes a portion of that storage too, to allow for Android 4.3 to thrive.
At least there’s a 4G option from the outset… no, wait, that’s not coming to the UK for a while either, but at least it is appearing.
But it has some top end features, a low-risk update policy and is built in a way that makes it feel both premium and robust enough to chuck around the house. That’s a good mix in our eyes.
3. iPad mini
Apple’s former CEO Steve Jobs famously slammed small tablets a few years back, leading many to believe the Cupertino-based firm would never dabble in the budget end of the market, but here we are.
In terms of consistency in the tablet market Apple cannot be matched, as it now lays claim to two of the top four places in our top 10, with the iPad mini the jewel in an already glistening crown – although one that’s now been usurped by the upgraded Google Nexus 7.
The slight downsides to the iPad mini are that it misses out on a Retina display and it pushes the upper end of the budget price bracket, but you can justify that price with its slick operation and premium build quality, letting you know you have a top piece of kit in your hand.
4. iPad 4
We’re not a fan of the name, but we reckon the new iPad 4 is the best full sized tablet out there.
The stunning Retina Display is certainly the highlight of Apple’s latest tablet, and you won’t see a better tablet screen on the market today.
It may be slightly bigger and heavier than the iPad 2, but with a bigger battery, beefed up processor and THAT screen, you can hardly blame Apple for this – plus it still keeps the famous iPad styling that has become something of a cult classic.
The price tag is eye-watering, however, and the lack of widgets and customisation will put some people off, but there are plenty of Android tablets that can satisfy your need for tweaking.
The Android experience cannot compete when it comes to dedicated apps, with the App Store rising head and shoulders above the competition, offering reams of quality applications made especially for the iPad.
5. Google Nexus 10
The 10.1 display is one of the biggest talking points on the Google Nexus 10. At 300 pixels per inch it’s the highest resolution tablet display on the planet – take that Apple and your Retina screens.
It’s a great performer too. Other than taking a while to process panoramic photos we never felt like it was struggling to keep up. It’s fast and smooth whatever you throw at it.
Sure it may not be as stunning to look at, or as well built as an iPad, and the lack of expandable memory will irk some, but overall the Nexus 10 gives you a quality, big-screen Android experience which is not to be sniffed at.
6. Tesco Hudl
What’s this, a supermarket making a tablet? Whatever next, Argos making one too? Oh wait… That aside, the Hudl tablet is a super cheap, £119 Android tablet which puts other £100 slates to shame.
Given it’s price the Hudl is very well specced, sports a solid build and a pretty decent 7-inch display. Stock Android will please those who are not fans of the various interface overlays which exist, and the addition of a microSD slot is useful.
Of course the Hudl isn’t going to blow you away with super slick operation, although the quad-core processor means there’s a chunk of power under the hood and the less said about the camera, the better.
7. Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 arrived on the scene with the iPad mini firmly set in its sights and while it gave a strong showing the Android tablet, complete with S Pen, didn’t manage to hit the same heights as its Apple-made rival.
That’s not to say the Galaxy Note 8.0 isn’t a good tablet as it’s a light, highly portable device and there’s no denying that its display is far better than that of the iPad Mini.
It’s solidly built, with expandable memory – the S-Pen has clearly been enhanced to make this a major selling point, plus we love the IR blaster and its media capabilities.
8. Asus Transformer Pad Infinity
If it wasn’t for the higher price, the Infinity would be a real contender for the top spot. It’s got everything you could want in a tablet – and a keyboard dock as standard too.
With the latest version of Android on the way, a simple interface and more ports than you can poke with a stick, the Infinity is the tablet that can handle anything you can throw at it.
Add in the Super IPS panel with a tremendous resolution, and you can see why this is a tablet to rate very highly – especially if you’re fond of typing on the go but crave the simplicity of a slate too.
9. Microsoft Surface Pro
We’ve been waiting for Microsoft Surface Pro for a while but it’s finally upon us, although it will set you back a fair few bob.
With a higher resolution screen than the Surface RT, and running the full blown version of Windows 8 the Surface Pro is kinder on the eyes and more powerful under hand, making for a potent, portable offering.
Making your mind up about the Surface Pro is less about what it is and what it does and more about what you want out of a tablet. As a hybrid PC it’s an undeniable compromise – but that’s no bad thing.
10. Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
What’s better than a tablet with a big screen? A tablet with a big screen, a quad core processor and the might of the S Pen… known as a stylus to me and you.
Well, not just a stylus – with many levels of pressure sensitivity and the ability easily sketch and annotate on a wide range of items, the Galaxy Note 10.1 offers so much more than your average tablet.
We’re huge fans of the alternative choice here, and it even comes with a microSD slot to boot – plus we’re now looking at Android Jelly Bean sitting proudly underneath the TouchWiz OS.
