The only thing more tedious than the 1.000th "buy or wait?" question of the week is the requisite "wait for the ipad xx" reply. Oh, haha how did you ever come up with something so original and clever? Should I laugh at that joke now, or wait for a better one in the next identical thread?

What baffles me is the spike in these threads right after a release. Seriously people? The Air's paint isn't even dry and you're worried about it being obsolete or replaced in the next 15 minutes? Apple couldn't do that if they tried.

Just get off the internet. Call your ISP and pull the plug. Go whittle some wood. Visit a petting zoo. Learn to rhumba. Anything. Come back when your logic and critical thinking reserves have had a chance to replenish they selfs.

Seriously! :)
 
I would wait but I'm fed up of how slow its now running compared to my iPhone 5.

Now, could I ask what do you think I should sell my iPad 3rd gen for?

I was thinking the same and reckoned max price around 275 but more likely 250 for a quick sale. Actually the speed is not THAT slow. A few seconds more for loading web pages. Biggest gripe are some of the apps like Penultimate and Evernote but it is not really that bad in performance, just the weight.

I think the main reason to upgrade on a well made and good tablet that is only 18 months old would be the size or weight. The ipad3 screen is still excellent, I can't think that the Air screen is better, so why bother selling and losing about 300 pounds, can't you find a home for it with friends or family and then buy a new air when money permits ...
 
OP, you should definitely wait!

Personally I am waiting for the iPad Ti (Titantium) in Fall of 2016. Packed with the A11 Chip and a full gamut screen. It's paper thin and weight 264oz

But even then, I am debating if I should wait for the iPad Ti S. Rumored to be released in 2017 with an A12 chip and a real life Siri.
 
Apple isn't going to hold another iPad event so close to the one they just had. The iPad air is not going to be updated in 6 months. I'd say get one on black friday to save yourself some $$

Rumors have it that production has begun for a larger iPad Air. I think 12 or 13 inches. The displays have been delivered to the factory and they expect delivery to the USA market 1st or 2nd qtr of 2014.
 
Nah, I'm waiting for the iPad 14 with 40 gigs of RAM, full body touch ID, the A 14 chip and Leica quality cameras. :rolleyes: :D

Ok people we get it. You're impossibly clever and hilarious, just like the 5000 other identical replies to the other 5000 identical questions every other day. Give it a rest!
