iPad Air 2 and Retina Mini iPad 3 Pre-Orders Arrive as Apple Begins In-Store Sales
- Thread starter MacRumors
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
For those keeping score, here are the 9.7" tablets Apple has introduced in order:
iPad
iPad 2
The New iPad with Retina Display
The New iPad with Retina Display (4th generation)
iPad Air
iPad Air 2
...so therefore we can conclude that next October Apple will release The New iPad Air with Retina 4K Display
Sadly, my local Apple Store has not received any yet. They are still quoting 'coming soon' as no one knows when they are coming. Quite disappointing.
I was confused when I bought my iPad, I managed to get the only one that wasn't as good as it's predecessor and was updated 6 months later. At least I got a maxxed out cellular one though
It wasnt The New iPad with Retina Display, it was simply "the new iPad then iPad with retina display.
enough of these terrible videos, posting someone elses video doesn't absolve you of editorial responsibility, quit posting crap
My shipping status changed and my card was charged. Says it will ship between today and Friday with an expected delivery of the 27th. Got the Silver 128GB LTE model.
Yes - that's probably the reason for the 'Total Confusion' title.
As someone already wrote, it saves space & weight in the device, also costs for Apple. Maybe the button has confused some people with the 'Rotation lock' function. Some time ago I didn't know this feature (there's no permanent display symbol for that) and thought the iPad is not working properly, when I tried to change from landscape to portrait mode and vice versa ....
Rather a bummer on that...one less thing for them to install and a place to put a 2nd microphone (I think).

So why have volume buttons since they also have a software solution in Control Center?
Let me guess: someone is going to spin how it makes perfect sense to persist hard buttons for volume but eliminate the hard button for mute... probably even offer an example of how important it is to be able to change volume without having to look at the screen but it's not as important to be able to mute volume without looking at a screen.
I'm a little surprised at the comments about the mute switch. It has been leaked weeks ago that it was gone and people are still surprised?
Proper? Like it is a movie genre? Seriously. He unboxed. And the whole thing was very authentic. Most people will wonder whether they were sent the wrong iPad before they open it and don't want to open the new box if they are going to send it back.
Also the fact that he couldn't tell if the iPad 2 was actually real just by looking at it is also significant. It is not much different in his opinion.

Maybe everyone on the planet doesn't read MacRumors every day

Does your UPS driver have a new iPad? hmm.
Yes, it has been leaked weeks ago - but it was not clear if the leaked photos have shown the genuine iPad Air 2 or what the state of development really was ....
It's what Apple usually does, and not just Apple.
The box my iPhone 6+ came in says "iPhone". On the back in small print, you can see the model number 6+.
When Apple shipped The New iPad, the box said simply "iPad" in large letters.
lol, my regular UPS deliveryman is a cool person, so if there was anyone I'd like a lost iPad to be with, it'd be him.
I just hope I get my spanking new iPad before the weekend.
I'll be someone, just hold volume button down to mute, that's how I've always done it and, I don't have to look at screen to do it. Imagine that.
I don't have anything against the mute switch, I can take or leave it, but we do need the volume buttons until Apple tells me I don't.
Just kind of surprised at how many people it bothers.
I guess 2 GB of ram, 3 cores and faster wasn't enough.
Even more confusing, the old names are no longer valid. Apple changed the names if you watch their keynote:
Old Name = New Name
iPad = iPad 1
iPad 2 = iPad 2
the new iPad = iPad 3
iPad with Retina Display = iPad 4
iPad Air = iPad Air 1
iPad Air 2 = iPad Air 2
