iPad mini first generation scanned lottery tickets in half a second

I’m just curious if anybody else has problems scanning their lottery tickets with their iPhone ? My my first generation iPad mini would scan my ticket and half a second every time one after another, my phone it takes me three tries before to leave and scan it at all. I just wanna know why I literally could scan a stack of 100 tickets in less than five minutes it takes me five minutes to scan one with my new iPhone 16 Pro plus or or whatever this junk is called. The worst thing about my iPad mini 1st generation is the fact that it’s completely useless now.

Contact the Developer of the app. They are the ones making the claim to scan the tickets and it is their responsibility to update the app to take advantage of the features in newer devices and also the most recent iOS version. Not sure what lottery ticket app you are using, but I would not expect a Government funded app to be all that concerned about providing updates.


The camera on your iPhone 16 Pro is far superior with a 48MP picture and 5x Telephoto lens compared to a single lens 5MP photo on your iPad, but it is the app that must make use of the cameras on the device.
