If play a lot of game, cannot last 9 hours. I can get 1 day ++ battery life on my usage (emails, social networks, browsing, youtube and skype calls about 2hrs/day). But I'm mostly on wifi at office n home. I'm not sure about whole day using cellular network. |

It's perfect for traveling/outside use because of its size.I want to use it for read notes, edit doc., surfing (not for game). Mostly use for educational purpose.

Annual refresh of iPad has continue to deliver new SoC each and every time.
Apple dont focus much on processing power, instead focusing more on graphic performance. So, if you dont game much, then it wont be that much of a difference because most of the time, the processing power is under utilized. However, if you game, you might as well wait and see what is up for offer. Gaming performance increase is quite large each time. |
