Well I still have an Ipad 4 and I really wouldn't mind one thats lighter, possible more speakers and just the other features like PiP and split with Twitch app and such. Also some more space doesn't hurt with some of the bigger games of few/several GB. It's just time for me.
Got a tip for us?

I had this debate with myself when I bought the iPad Air 2 recently. I paid $125 less than what a new iPad Air would cost so I am totally satisfied with my purchase. It does everything I could want it to do.

If I barely use an iPad Air 2, why would I buy an iPad Air 3? The new device would have to have a feature or features that would draw me to it more often.

I never had the fourth gen iPad or the Air 1, but I didn't like how hollow the iPad Air felt and the fourth gen was just as big and heavy as the third.
But going off of what I know about them, I'd say Air 2 > Air > iPad 2 > iPad > 4 > 3.
I only consider the original iPad over the 3 and 4 because it was the first and I was still pretty blown away by it.
What does that have to do with him not upgrading from his Air 2? Lol
He has the current iPad Air, which is the iPad Air 2, right now and he barely uses it, so there's no point in him upgrading to the iPad Air 3. He'll barely use that, too.
True. I want generations 1-7 (of the 9" iPads). I'll have it complete soon. 🙂 And yeah, I know what you mean. The Air 2 and air 1 I prefer the most.

Nope, the ipad4 was more than just the Lightning port, it was to address the ipad3's shortcomings.

You're right, there was more than just the Lightning port. It was apparently to move it to the fall release cycle (and a bunch of spec bumps).

1. If ipad comes out March, then it will not come out in oct.
2. Every ipad ever released was "just another ipad with (insert feature here)"
3. Its going to be better than the previous generation
4. Pro is not for everyone
5. 3gb or 4gb the mass won't notice a difference or care
6. Not everyone is jumping from a mini or an air 2
7. I literally can't wait to pre order one

I upgraded from a 3 to an air 2 and love it, but I probably won't upgrade. I will keep this one unless it has something major in the update. I bought my first mac last year and the iPhone 6s when it came out, so I need to let my wallet rest.
I'll most likely upgrade to the Air 3 (from the 4 as above mentioned), then Kaby Lake cpu, Pascal GPU, then with the new chipset a SSD upgrade (when possible), I'd like to get new case aswell, new monitor sometime, possible VR later in the year (see how and what first).
