If you're seriously considering the pro, I seriously recommend that you be patient and wait for the next gen pro. It's due for a refresh real soon. Otherwise if you can't wait and need something urgently, the Air 2 (if you can get it cheaper than the 2017 iPad) is of much better value since we know the latest iPad only had minor improvements and I can foresee Apple being able to support the iPad Air 2 for many more years to come.

most likely shipping from shenzen

It seems from the tracking website it's shipping directly from Singapore. My guess on why we're only receiving it on Tuesday is because of the weekends and Monday is a public holiday too? biggrin.gif

How is the screen that many condemn about..
Is it really that bad ?

I got the black and I'm telling you, I was blown away by the quality of the screen (resolution, colour accuracy, and how perfectly sized it is for working on content, etc) that I had totally completely forgotten about the air gap tongue.gif Maybe it's the colour so it's not so obvious, but it's seriously nit picking to want to look into that detail tongue.gif It's like looking for dust in the speaker holes lol. Seriously biggrin.gif

No it doesn't refresh even with 20 tabs opened. I didn't bother testing with more tongue.gif

Hi guys

just want some opinion on this new iPad
the current price makes it very tempting to make this my first iPad, however i have some concerns regarding the accessories that is compatible with this

what sort of flip cover should i buy for it so that it will be compatible? i.e. ipad air 1/2 or should i wait for the new iPad-specific covers before making the purchase?
Same applies for the tempered glass SP for ipads? whether the ipad air 2 ones would work fine?
*
As far as I know, the dimensions is identical to that of the iPad Air (1). Having said that however, the locations of the cutouts are different (i.e. Speaker holes, lack of mute switch, others). Best to wait for the official cases made for 2017 iPad to be safe.

As for the screen protector, I can confirm it is the same as iPad Air 1 and 2 (and maybe the pro). I just installed for mine and it looks perfect. Hope that helps.
