The rumors kinda eliminate the Air 3 in favor of a smaller IPad Pro. I think the Air series stops at the 2.

Yeah I saw this debate about iPad Air 3 with pencil, versus iPad Pro mini. I don't know if I understand the difference, or where it stands. Isn't this six of one, half dozen of the other?

The difference is mostly name and getting IPP features, as to when. The expectation is for Apple's Media event next month.
 
March 15th is the rumoured date of the announcement. If the design images we have are true and it has a 4 speaker design then I think it will be called a new iPad Pro.
I hope it has pencil support but I won't cry if it doesn't. It would be wise for Apple to do so, Pencils will fly out the door and I think many many many people who have been sitting on older versions will finally upgrade their iPads.
 
If it is gonna have pencil support it will be slight heavier than the iPad Air 2 but if it just has four speaker I doubt the weight difference will be much between the two !

As long as it's not getting iPad Pro prices. I don't want to spend an extra hundred or two for a 9.7" "iPad Pro". Hopefully the base model continues to start at $499.
 
hmm;) i so want the pencil but can't justify splashing out on the March Pro release; still digging my Air 2 bought from launch ( the thinnest iPad yet)

Fingers 'xed
