I have an older iPad 2, running the latest iOS v 9.3.5. I just upgraded from the PayPal Here dongle to the chip/magnetic strip card reader. I can't get the darn thing to pair. I explained this to PayPal support and, thinking I got a defective card reader, they rushed me out a new one just in the nick of time to pack for a trade show. Unfortunately, when I got to the show I discovered the replacement had the exact same issue. Luckily I still had the old dongle to fall back on. Now I have two PayPal Here Card Readers that I can't get to pair with my iPad2, and another show coming up in 2 weeks. I've spent a great deal of time on the phone with PayPal Support but so far, no one has come up with a resolution. It seems a bit too coincidental that both card readers would be defective so my suspicion is falling on the tablet compatibility. The card reader is advertised to be compatible with iPad2 running at least ver 8.1+. I've reinstalled the latest version of the PayPal Here software, Bluetooth works fine with all my other devices, everything is current. I'm wondering if anyone has had, or knows of, any issues with the PayPal Here Chip Card Reader not being compatible with iPad2? I just feel I'm not getting any straight answers from PayPal Support. Either they just don't know or don't want to know but I have to resolve this or find another payment method (like Square) asap. Thanks for any help
