Greeting all.
I have an iPad 3.. Feel a bit lag and wish to buy another iPad.
Is iPad mini 2 worth to get in 2017?
Can feel big differences from iPad 3 to Mini 2?

Thanks

Sounds like your most concern is the speed!! Mind telling me what and how you use your current iPad and what do u expect the new iPad of?

I wish to use ios 10..
My iPad 3 only can get ios 9..
And I want to use it to read magazine and gaming also.
While reading magazine, the page need times to loading.
Gaming also not so smooth already.
Dunno mini 2 improve a lot or not?

I know mini 4 or air 2 is a lot better..
But looking for cheaper option..

What game are u currently playing? And let me share that iPad mini 4 is a bit smaller screen compare to your iPad 3gen. The experience is there and much faster on what you ask for(gaming and loading pages).

already announced, i believe that iPad mini 4 can do all the things u mention. The most is the size suit for u for reading with one hand, put into carrying bag and for your kid no need to spend extra weight.

IPP 9.7" vs Ipad. Does RM1100 really worth all the extras? Should I just get the lower spec one? Really loves the thinner body and 4 audio speakers, a9x chip as well. But does it relly worth it?

Will the current ipad got any discount if the new ipad launched?

I decided to save the cash and get the new iPad 9.7" at the cheapest model and I couldn't be happier. It meets all of my needs, I don't need the 4 stereo speaker so much, I don't need high processing power since all I do is just basic tasks such as email, web browsing and comics. I used to have the iPad Pro, bought all the stuff like the keyboard and apple pencil but in the end, those items were completely under utilised.

Your logic sounds tempting! I'm gonna use mostly for kdramas and ebooks. Thanks for sharing your experience (;

Yes, normal ipads are good enough for that.
