iPad **ALL NEW** iPad Air (Thoughts/Are you getting one?)

[hleewell]

iPad Air? Are they implying there is a higher end iPad in the future?

 

[JackieInCo]

We get Retina Mini!

 

[superstarmc]

IPad 2 for $399?

 

[PoppaKap]

This should have been announced today. Ipad air is not great with the current specs. I guess we need to wait more.

The A7 is a beast and Touch ID is a novelty. I agree on the camera though.

I've only had my iPad 4 for a few months but seeing this makes me want to sell it and buy the air. One of my complaints with the full sized iPad was the weight and the bezel on it was too big.

There's been one 6 month upgrade since the iPad 1. A student of history you are not.

Tablet game has changed since iPad 1. They have to update more often just to keep up and/or stay ahead.

 

[Xerotech]

That's the bezel

Gotcha, thanks!

That was an interesting surprise for the iPad mini. Full A7 processor with retina display with same specs.

iPad Air? Are they implying there is a higher end iPad in the future?

Of course, iPad, iPad Pro and iPad air, hahaha.

The new ipad looks great but i think rebranding it as "iPad Air" is silly and unnecessary. Will confuse consumers and lead to a perception of more fragmentation. They should streamline their products, not complicate the product line.

What color is it available in he didn't say?

White and space gray.

 

[Pompiliu]

nice but i cant see why i would sell my ipad 3 for this...no need...cool if you dont have one already

Because your ipad 3 is so slow, especially on iOS 7.

When can we purchase the Air?

----------

I wanted gold and Touch ID

 

[gadget123]

Faster and new design.

Great update for people with ipad 2/3.

If you got ipad 4 not such a good update but that's why lots of people waited off.

 

[yinz]

This. The moment I saw this, I immediately thought iPad Pro incoming!!!

Aww.. not this time.

That was always rumours plus they all came just after iohone 5.

All the early leaks showed no touch ID.

 

[Brittany246]

You'll be able to buy the iPad Air on November 1st, and the iPad Mini with retina will be some time later in november. it doesn't say the exact date i don't think.

 

[barkomatic]

Looks great and I'd buy it if I didn't already have an iPad 3. However, I'll wait until next year when the new iPad will presumably have touch ID.

I can't believe they didn't include it this year.

 

[dazz87]

Anyone know if there is dual speakers like the mini?

 

[Davidkoh]

Hmm, not sure it's worth upgrading if its only running an A7. If an iPhone can run a A7 they could have put something more powerful in the iPad...

 

[Matt8045]

The iPad mini is a much better buy than the full sized same powered iPad air. Hell if it's glitchy on ios7 A7 in iphone 5S I imagine the iPad air will have more problems. Pretty disappointing. And still no flash on iPad!? What if I want to take a pic at night or just use flash for something else blah

 

[GadgetGeek407]

not even a better camera jeez that thing has had 5mp since forever, would have thought at least a flash or something lol
