Meh. My trusty iPad 2 streams all the porn I need.
And the event was already announced for about 2 weeks before and even during the middle of September the rumors of the 22nd October event were floating around.This is why you need to check on either when the next iDevice will PROBABLY be announced or follow the pattern: I knew they were going to announce a new one around now because they did it at almost the same time last year.
I would take the same weight of last year model along with an increase in battery life.If you can't look things up usually you can at least reality check. Do electronics tend to get heavier or lighter over time? Does this assertion seem odd? Usually that means it's a good idea to double check.

Yawn.
Also, calling the heaviest iPad yet the "iPad Air" is some of the most outlandishly bullshit marketing I've ever seen.
Wi-Fi model: 1.5 lb (680 g)
3G model: 1.6 lb (730 g)

4G (LTE) model: 1.46 lb (660 g)
iPad Air
1 pound (469 g)
Relative to other iPads, the name doesn't lie. However, I do agree that it's a bit misleading when considering the lineup of iPads available to purchase.
damn, forgot to add this to the thread title.
iPad Air - Get the new Mini instead.
Well at least Apple is keeping my iPad 2's resale value up.
I'm glad to see the iPad air's landing page continue iOS7's legacy of pointless animations and obscured bottom nav.
The device should at least be nice.

After all these years and I still don't get the appeal of tablets... it's one of these things that's really not for me. I used an iPad mini for some days and found it so meh...
Maybe I'm getting old...

Uh....the iPad 3 & 4 weighs 1.45 lbs. iPad 2 weigh 1.3 lbs. iPad 1 weighs 1.5 lbs.Originally Posted by Mushroomer25

iPad Air weighs 1 lb, and it's the heaviest yet? Do you math?
Waiting for lunchbox
I'll see how much it is with my data plan but I'll probably upgrade from a 32GB iPad 3 to a 128 Air.
Having to buy a new Smart Cover is a bit annoying though.

I am so utterly confused about this.
With that said, the mini with retina display does pique my interest.

I will never understand apple people.
I really don't understand the presence of the iPad 2 in this list.Originally Posted by Hollywood Duo
Best deal of the new line IMO:
It's 2,5 years old and we've had three new iterations since then.

lol, should have refreshed before posting. Seems like everyone else caught onto it aswell :D

Anyone want a iPad3? Its rare now.
Looks like it's time to retire my iPad 2. Wonder how much I can sell it for.
Apple needs a new product line. This seems like a pretty good revision, but they're losing the excitement halo that they once had. Their hardware is starting to blend in with their competition more and more, and that has more to do with the buzz surrounding new products than how advance or different their products were from similar offerings.
If they don't find a way to bring out an exciting and new product line, I think Apple is going to find itself in a low margin game with its competitors.

I like the new Smart Case design a LOT more than the current one; I may actually get one of those alongside the Air instead of just picking up a new Smart Cover.
$400.
for an iPad 2.
In 2013.

I'm looking forward to the iPad Flex years from now
Do the iPad 2s shipping now still have a dock connector? Or did they at least redo them to use Lightning cables?
Man, who would buy the ipad2? 400. Just get the mini with the better performance or the extra 100 for the air. I don't get it. I mean, I get it for apple, others, idk.
Why do people always shit on the price of Vita memory cards, while apple charges you 100$ for 16gb of storage.
Do you guys think its worth it to sell my old iPad Mini for the new one?
Not a fan of the "Air" name, but it's not a big deal.
I'm tempted to pick up a new iPad, but I think I'll wait it out and see what they come up with in a year if I haven't been tempted to pick one up by then.
Also, I think we should just have one general iPad official thread at this point.

Fkk, I want the new Mini but I already have the old one. Think its worth it to sell the old one and get the new one? In theory every gen it will lose resale value.
This is still just a tablet right? I'd be all in if it came with iOS7 and OSX, with an optional magnetic snap on keyboard/track pad.
HOLY SHIT. THAT THIN? 1 POUND? 128 GB? SHIT!
Still not enough to make me buy one, but hell. That's nice.

Apple are like Sony at the beginning of the PS3. Except people that love Apple will actually bite on it.
