Anyone knows when is the cheapest iPad coming to Malaysia?

That's the million dollar question smile.gif

Hopefully not too late. It is available widely in US now.

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

My unit is coming from China. Got it engraved too. Expected 18th arrival.

Same. Maybe we're part of the same shipment biggrin.gif

Maybe it is the difference in color. I ordered the Space Grey and it is coming from China.

Ipad air 2 using old processor.

Resolution is the same. Its just that new Ipad screen is not laminated screen.

Small sacrifice for that price.

And most importantly, the bigger battery and more efficient chipsets. Few reviewers are claiming that the new iPad 2017 has much better battery life than Air 2.

Just received mine this morning. 1 day earlier than promised. The iPad was shipped from China and routed through Hong Kong, Singapore, then Malaysia. Respectable job and traceability by DHL.

Coming from iPad Air 1, I find the new iPad looks super familiar. Sorry folks. Can't do much in comparison of the laminated screen of Air 2. The weight and size are the same as my old Air 1. I'm using the old casing on this new iPad. The alignment of the volume and camera are different from Air 1. Luckily the power support back casing is working well. The Smart Cover for Air 1 works great on this new iPad.

Performance wise. It is sweet 😍 Battery performance, too early to tell. It is a good buy.

Screen similar to the air ?
*
I would say it is similar. I have been pretty happy with Air 1 screen. iPad 2017 doesn't disappoint.

Basically, iPad 2017 doesn't have any exciting features. Coming from Air 1, I feel like I am basically using the same iPad. Just faster, and much smoother.

can u test, open more than 5 tabs in safari, then u switch tabs, does every tab refresh everytime u switch
*
Staying within Safari, it is working well with many tabs opened. No refresh or reloading noticed.

However, after a while and working with other apps, returning to safari will cause the tab to reload. I think that is normal before it is trying to fetch latest information.

wow 8 GB wasted!!!

I think it should be 28GB out of box. However, the iWork's and other Apple apps are pre installed. If you don't need that, you can delete them to save some space.

Guys.sorry if this is a noob question. Lets say I need to claim from company. So the tax invoice definitely need to name to my company instead of my own name. How do I ask apple to do that?
*
I think you can email them. log into your apple account and look for support.
