I didn't see it either. Could be offered at a later date.
More graphics power than an XB360.
Damn well better be more powerful than 11 year old tech.I like the upgrades though. Just enough bling to make some want it. iPad fans should be reasonably happy.
Truly silly when Apple is jacking the price and marketing it as a PC replacement. I've never felt better about not upgrading as I do now. But why is Apple trying to suffocate the iPad line with this nonsense. It's obvious why sales are plummeting.
Same here if the ram is 4 gig. If it is 2 gig like the Air 2....I am sitting this product cycle out.

Oh my this was almost perfect, it was almost the machine that was to replace my iPad 3. A small thing but I don't want a protruding lens on a device that's to be used with a stylus.
Nice device. Might consider one for my daughter heading off to college this fall. She keeps wanting to steal my 12.9" iPad Pro so she can play with the Pencil.
I still prefer my 12.9" device and higher resolution screen. The bigger model got a 256GB option (it's up on the Apple Store currently) though I probably still would have bought the 128GB has it been an option back in November. I still have around 40GB free.

Need some advice. I'm selling my iPad Air 32GB for $235. The 1GB of memory has limited its usefulness since iOS 9 came out. My two options: get an Apple refurbished Air 2 64 GB for $419 or get the new 9.7" Pro 128GB. I mainly use for consumption and some remote access type work. Is the $300+ difference worth it?
Not a $600 iPad...
Plus, Apple would have to add mouse/pointing device support (like Android) and they won't do that - I personally hate putting my hand and fingers in front of the desktop/laptop screen...
Not really because they're charging 64gb prices for it.
There's a loooot more to it than that. Technically my old iMac has a better GPU (well, higher GPU specs) than the one in a PS4 and yet it can't run games at that quality.
Check the online store, LTE is available on all three storage configurations.
...It's the same camera used in the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus, with support for 5K video, 63-megapixel panoramas, and Live Photos....
Uh...5K video???
Yeap that was kinda stupid, I rather have an older 5 MP than have a protruding lens
Gorrammit. They may have hooked me with the display improvement. The iPad Air 2 display really looks blah compared to Surface Pro 4 or Surface Book. None of the other improvements are all that interesting, though, and the pencil and keyboard are non-starters.
The IPP replaced my 12-inch MacBook. Never say never whatever you do.
Many folks I know also do. They are sick and tired with dealing with corrupt file systems, trying to locate documents, and are sick of dealing with MS Windows. Look, the technology world expands many generations now, and I am happy that we have so many different options to choose from. The iPad has opened up stress free "Post-PC" world to the majority of users, outside the tech-geek bubble.
What's the weight difference between the air 2 and 9.7 inch pro please
