I got 309 for a cellular unlocked 32gb in flawless condition with a smart case on ebay this weekend, with ebay and paypal fees taken off, im left with around 260-270 i think. I feel robbed.

Of course not. A pound of feathers is really light.

And yet people complained when the original iPad lost support so quickly... they can't win.

Why do people buy Apple hardware without doing research? Check out macrumors.com in the future, they will tell you if it is a good time to buy or not.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Anyone know if they have the new rMBPs available in store? I tried calling both of my local stores, and they had me on hold for 10+ min each.
It's a faster CPU and running it at that faster speed will eat up a bit more battery, but in low load tasks battery life will be identical. Note that the light task shows no difference in battery life despite the 30% clock speed difference. That extra CPU speed could bump performance in CPU bound games (common in quite a lot of smaller, indie games that often run on just one core) so if if you feel the 90$ is worth it go for it.
It's like a 200hp car and a 300hp car with the same rated fuel consumption. Driven normally both use the same amount of fuel, but floor it and the higher hp car will use more.
Damn, that's some random shit. I'll hold out another month maybe.
How so? You're paying $100 more for the same device with a bigger screen (but that doesn't actually show any more content).
its what they do. they price just so - encouraging you to creep up the different model lines.
I know I use mine for a lot of TV/video along with browsing, so this cements my choice in the larger screen. If the air wasn't such a drop in weight I'd have been more tempted by the mini.
If you need portability or one-handed use, then get the mini. If you want a larger screen, get the air.
If you just need it for streaming/browsing, you might get away with 16GB. If you expect to need quite a few apps (games, magazines), the 32GB is a safer choice.

The screen was always the right size. It was just too heavy. Now it's not.

How can you expect them to win when they price the iPad 2 for $400? Really now.

True, I just wanted to see how much is worth it doing for $90. I know it comes down to the individual's decision but usually some choices are hard to avoid like going for the 32GB on the iPad's.

Oh they're definitely winning... they can sell the iPad 2 for whatever they like, it makes no difference to them...
its been a year but theyve sometimes gone over 400 days without an update. mini is low on Apples priority list

Sorry i this has been posted already, but is there any difference in terms of specs between the iPad Mini and the iPad Air?
We dont' know for sure. It's possible the Air will have more ram and a faster clock.

Don't do it. iOS 7 performance on the original Mini is shit. You don't enjoy the experience.
That's the Air...
The air is the high end ipad, how is this confusing.

Do we know the specs reflect a bump compared to ipad 4?
The iPad Air?
It has the a7 for one.
What would be the point of that, they are both running the same resolution and need to handle exactly the same content.

Because the Air brand name in MacBooks are thin but lower end of the specs spectrum compared to the pro brand which has the high end specs
Nope. Air is narrower and thinner.

Wait, Mini w/ retina to be available "later in November" and not November 1st.... welp, might have to go with the air, then.
Thanks!
I have to wait, I know the day after I buy one, it'll be updated, I know it.its been a year but theyve sometimes gone over 400 days without an update. mini is low on Apples priority list

Eh, it's fine. Perhaps not as great as it was on iOS 6, but you're not looking at the terrible experience you get on an iPad 3.

Would someone mind taking a stab at explaining how powerful the new 15" rMBP will be in terms of gaming? I'm thinking of getting the most powerful one and am curious how much weaker it would be than PS4 or Xbox One, for example. Thanks!
