iPad What's Actually New in the iPad Air?

How do you figure that?

Not everyone has an AC router.

And dual antennas should allow a more stable connection.

Don't forget the better speakers

I believe the speakers are still MONO

I believe the speakers are still MONO

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure I read on this forum the Air has stereo speakers.

The Apple spec sheet never mentions "stereo", just under input/output "speaker", and on the drawing "speakers". Big disappointment.

Many balked at the IPad 4 even though they rather have the larger screen and better resolution. Now that is something to really think about IMHO as the Air probably needs to be seen and held to believe.

Ain't that enough when it was really what you rather have had in the first place?

A new design is what was rumoured and it's what arrived.

Touch ID or an 8mp camera wouldn't change how you use an ipad.

shame on you for mentioning that :d just don't be tempted to use it that way and you will be fine.

lol!:d

Trying to decide if I should buy one.
But I'm wondering what was actually upgraded from the last iPad.

As I understand it:

- Thinner and lighter
- iPhone 5S processor (not A7X)
- M7 coprocessor (I'm not really sure how this would be useful on a tablet)

And maybe they upgraded the Wi-Fi? But then again that doesn't really matter because even if you had 500 gigabit Wi-Fi the bottleneck is still your internet speed.

I hope I missed something. Or if this is it was the iPad presentation like 5 minutes long?

Thanks!

It's a 64bit desktop class A7 processer. Not a iPhone 5s processer! The iphone 5s just happen to receive it first.
