iPad iPad Air 2 or wait for Pro?

Aside from a bigger screen, what else is the iPad Pro rumored to have? Wondering if I should wait, but if it's just for a bigger screen, then I don't really care much for that. I prefer portability and battery life.

So, given today, should we go ahead and purchase an Air 2, or wait til early next year to see if there is a Pro model coming along? Interesting decision to make....

Wait for the Pro. There's nothing compelling about the just- introduced iPads to make them worth upgrading unless you've got a really old iPad.

As I've got an Air and the Air 2 isn't a huge leap forward I think I'm going to wait and see if this Pro version becomes reality. My eyesight isn't what it was (diabetic retinopathy in both eyes) means the possibility of a large screen ipad is very appealing to me 😱

I don't intend to take pictures with it, the games I play on my iPad won't benefit from the A8X and I don't really care about entering passwords on my iPad much. These are all things that were an issue on my iPhone but are now solved.



Now, as to the rumored Pro: there's no doubt that Apple is going to do something with the iPad line. It may not be a larger "pro" iPad, but it will be something. Even if it's only a redesign of the enclosure next year, it'll still be a change. So, again, FOR ME, the Air 2 is not a significant enough upgrade to warrant a buy. I'll wait until the next revision to see what Apple does with the line... because they will do something with it.

Sure, but it could easily be another year and a half before that materializes

A larger screen, sadly, hardly ever means better readability.

No. iPad will be updated again within 12 months. Bank on it.

The pro could be here at early 2016.

If they're smart the pro will finally fuse iOS and OS X on a tablet that can truly replace a laptop and be a successor to the MacBook Air.

will cost a leg and a liver
the first version might suck (beta or limited) as usual

That may be true but it's gotta be done.
