Anyone who bought an iPad Air 128 GB for $700 last month thinking iPad Air 2 128 GB would be $800 got a bad deal. Retailers probably knew iPad Air 2 128 GB would be $700 and ripped us off.
Another way to look at it, think of all the people that bought quad i7 mac minis over the past two years, those people scored big time as the new minis are actually a downgrade in performance.
