Will you be upgrading your ipad this fall?

I was thinking of doing the same thing. I have an iPad 3, battery life is poor... And the FPS playing FFVII is AWFUL.
I also wanted to take advantage of BestBuys 0% 24 month payment plan. But then I can not return it if I like the iPad Air 3
That makes me so happy. iOS 5 and 6 were solid. iOS 7 slowed it down and caused a lot of lag, but not terrible. When I first installed iOS 8 I was like "WHAT HAPPENED?" I assumed that since iOS 8 looked like 7, the overhead would be roughly the same since I disable most features, but nope. I've done 3 fresh installs of iOS 8.2, 8.3, and 8.4 and waited for it to index and it stays slow. iOS 8.4 is particularly bad.
iPad 3...poor med student so maybe not. Hoping the above are right about iOS9.
I do want to upgrade but the 3 is hard to sell.

iPad Air 2 or iPad Mini 4, pricing for the iPad Pro might be in the $700 range
very unlikey the iPads get Force Touch this year. Next Year probably A9X chips and Force Touch

The iPad Pro is rumoured to get force touch, I can see the iPad Pro costing around $1000 tho.
I'll do. From Air 2 to mini 4. For my usage (travelling) is smaller form factor better choice. And I found an Air 2 a bit clumsy at home either.
Earlier I said I wouldn't be upgrading from my ipad mini retina, but now I'm wavering. If the iPad mini 4 has a faster processer, 2GB ram, better speakers, better battery life, or some significant subset of these, I'll consider it. I'll wait and see what the early adopters say first,however. The gamut isn't much of an issue for me, though a less reflective screen would be nice.
Currently rocking a perfectly usable iPad 4 128GB, I'll probably go the iPad Pro route and keep the 4, not worth selling on, it is in perfect condition and be usable for a good few years yet.
I upgraded from the ipad 4 to an air 2 last july because I was tired of my ipad 4 lags and not so great performance on ios 8. I only upgrade for a fluid experience because I use my ipad everyday (more than my computer) so thats why I wanted to upgrade.
But now, I dont need a new ipad. The air 2 performance is even better than my initial expectation. It is by far my best out of the box ipad yet so as long as it will work fine I will keep it.
This is not the same story for my 6+ by the way. Performance not so good for a high end phone. I dont know yet if I will upgrade or not. But with my air 2, i can keep my 6+ another year just to use it as a phone, I'll see.

That's the thing. It probably won't as it's not something 'everyone' has been asking for. But you would think it would be a no brainer.
I would not count on it.
A digitizer would be nice. I bought a Galaxy Note because they have Wacom digitizer built in for my drawing after several failed attempts at trying to find a usable pressure sensitive iPad pen.
I bought an Air 2 yesterday...betting on there not being an Air 3 announced today. I was right. Now what to do with my Mini 1?

I have an iPad Air 2 since March. I had to choose it over mini only because mini 3 didn't come with 2GB of RAM. Now I'm planning to "upgrade" my iPad Air 2 to iPad mini 4.
