Come on la like that also can argue. Each Pl have their own needs. Example for me, I already using surfmore 50. When on the go, I will configure my phone as hotspot and use my ipad. At home use Unifi.
Some ppl don't have existing plan sure la want to subscribe surf more. Got discount on price some more, no rugi.
Even though kena tied 2 years, when upgrade device next year, can easily swap the same sim card. Win win.

There wasn't a smart case for ipad mini. The apple smart case only was released after the mini retina was announced. Hence  the second mic hole at the back. I'm using it. Indeed a very nice case. Light, slim and feels soft. Only drawback is that it is a bit expensive. It can fit both mini and mini retina.

I didn't know that! Thanks for the very useful sharing smile.gif

Isn't it great there is stock everywhere? Why can't it be Apple productions is sufficient to meet demand? I don't think apple will be releasing any higher resolution screen fot the 10" iPad anytime in the near future or it might never at all.  The very reason Apple will not come out with a higher resolution screen is because the current screen is already retina(almost). There is no significant advantages to go higher than 300 dpi as our eyes cannot see the difference. On the other hand, higher res screen requires more graphics & processing power which consumes more power! Then apps have to be optimise to fit the higher res screen which is a big problem itself.

If you are waiting for a higher resolution iPad Air…we'll then good luck!
*
Sorry forgot to mention I am already using ipad retina. I don't see a reason to make the small upgrade to air. Dpi below 300 is considered low for current gen device. Just look at mini retina Dpi. So yeah, will wait for higher Dpi ipad. Air still too heavy considering that's the major benefit by upgrading.
For those who never have ipad retina b4,definitely a good buy, until June 2014.

Yup, for sure up, up, up when gst kicks in. Which is why I plan to make 1-2 more purchases from Apple by end 2014 and hope it lasts for two years. Either the next generation ipad air, mini or iphone. tongue.gif
*
Yup. Quickly buy b4 gst!
I bought retina mini too so that I can put in pouch and bring everywhere. At home will use ipad retina instead. Will skip air for 2014 new ipad. One can always hope the dpi will be increased then wink.gif already heard rumors of 4k display ipad...

will pass the ipad air 2 as the ipad air is good enough for me at least 2  years...but the iphone 6, now thats a phone worth waiting for as that would most likely be my first apple phone and my first smart phone..been using my trusty nokia 3310 all this while and the time to change is coming tongue.gif  biggrin.gif
*
Haha for tech, it will never be good enough. When air 2 is out with A8 chip,400 dpi, 8MP camera, sure gatal wanna upgrade. If this is not ur first iPad , or u don't own any retina iPad, by all means get the iPad air. Of u already have a retina iPad,advice would be to skip air and wait for iPhone 6 and air 2.
I suspect iPhone 6 will be a game changer against android with its bigger screen.
Normally apple items will only sell like hot cakes when : much improved screen(non retina to retina). Or bigger/smaller screen(bigger:iPhone 5, even though the size is still pathetic smaller:iPad mini)
Product that are 20% lighter/thinner no longer have that much drawing power as the above.
Hence iPad air's lack lasture launch here(plenty of stock everywhere.no launch queues),compared to mini retina(whole kl still no stock)

I think for Apple, even iPad 2 is still usable until a certain degree now, iPad 3 and iPad 4 is working damn fine with all the latest apps, maybe slightly lagging at infinity blade 3 ONLY as it is 1 of the few that actually utilize A7 new GPU. Summore apple product come out new one also look the same. Over android side, the pressure of new product is even intense. Samsung come out s3 on oct 2012, note 2 dec 2012, then april s4, note 3 oct 2013 roughly lol.. Apple has less pressure oledi lo, summore the ecosystem is well maintained, ipad2 still can use now, still selling also. While i my asus tf300 is so laggy now, even refresh factory settings also lag. Nexus S, even on android 4.3 also lag. Android is less optimized that's what i can say.

Ppl can say apple keluar so few product, sure easier to optimize. Well, that's their marketing strategy, nothing wrong with it. I am not fanboy of either side, iphone sux becos of ths small screen, but i realized that after i get ipad air, i do most of the surfing and news reading on iPad than my S4, which i used to use it as my reader. Now i know why iPhone is small, apple so good at marketing, iPhone is small enuf to carry, and for all the mobile function, while ppl will buy iPad to satisfy their needs for surfing/reading on the go, without crimping their eyes on bigger sized phone or phablet, yet iPad is easy to carry around, especially now got iPad Air.

i do miss widgets on android. Miss the customization esp on the shortcuts and cleaner homescreen. so for me, an android phone is still essential to me, if i am not going to bring my ipad around.
*
U carry around ipad air? I salute u. Try carrying around mini retina in the future.
As for iPhone, yeah boycotted it until they come out with big screen ip6. Using Android as well.
As for tablet, No WAY I will go android. Their app store is pathetic and full of 'x' stuff, unless that is what u r looking for... Apple tablets are the only way to go, as this is the device u will buy many apps and games.
Phone I need bigger screen to browse Internet and fb. Iphone size is just pathetic. I am in 30s, already squinting my eye to see the screen text. So, can't wait for ip6!! drool.gif

Wao. Their online apple support is superb. I got a badly wrinkled leather mini smart case . Called them up and the next day DHL already contacted me to collect back the defective unit. They will resend me another unit next week. The phone support even ask me take photo to provide feedback but that is not compulsory. They will send replacement unit regardless of my feedback rclxms.gif
