let's hope the price is reasonable and not excessively hiked up. or else better opt for the 11' pro model.
i am waiting for this to be launched before deciding which tablet to purchase. hopefully Sept or Oct instead or next year march.

Likely will remain the same price. In fact the iPad Pro has the same price but double the storage with better camera and sensor.

IPad Air will remain at that price range for its purpose.

if that's the case. it would be a fantastic buy.

certainly. i dun consider to buy the current iPad, iPad mini or iPad Air is due to the thick bezels and outdated design.

however, iPad Pro will be a bit over-killed too but it is the only choice i have due to the design.

I did manage to try iPad Pro 2020. The speakers are awesome, i have never encountered such sound speakers on a apple device before. when you on the maximum volume, the sound is enough to fill a house. best part about apple device's speakers is that even when it is on maximum volume, it will have no sound distortion.

speakers that good? was previously interested in the samsung galaxy tab s7. however price is more towards ipad pro side.
currently waiting for this new ipad air to release. hopefully october.

really really good. better than iphones one by a lot, it is at least double or more the maximum volume of my current iPhone X. with better bass, wider dynamic range. you cannot even stand the volume if you on it at maximum volume for seconds because it is really too sound.

ipad air may just release in the next 1 to 2 weeks. i suspect. together with apple watch series 6.

forget about other brand tablets especially if u are already in apple ecosystem.

the issue is im not in the apple ecosystem... hahaha.
will just give ipad a try. then will take it slowly from there.

not in the apple ecosystem, then no difference lo. haha.

ipad air will be good to start. no tablet can fight with ipad in the market now.

Damn, wanted to buy a iPad Air 3 right now, wonder how long do i need for the next gen

i suggest to wait for the new gen and check the spec and price. not sure when the actual release date.
maybe sept/oct.

are u planning to get the ipad air with this new design?

If the specs are ok, I dun mind seriously. Becos I only use ipad to surf web and stream videos.

I still use my iPad mini 3 for these.

IPad Air will be more than enough for me if it has an all-screen display.

Should be fine with the A12Z or A13 processors i think.
probably will wait for an official review before purchasing.
planning to use for document editing and studying also. laptops too big.

Yup. High chance within the next two weeks it will be announced on web without event.

Likely will be A13 processor.

nicee. do update if u purchase the ipad.

Rumours said the iPad Air 4 will have A14 chip, if it is really the case then the iPad Pro will be at an awkward position.

i dont think apple would do that. probably A13.
A13 is a fantastic chipset already. Miles ahead of other chipset.
If A14 then the price would be high and the tablet would be an overkill.
Im expecting a price range of RM2800 Wifi version with 128GB storage.
Hope the price is reasonable.

from rumours, i think there is a chance for it seriously. haha.

fingers crossed.
i just saw the ipad pro thread about the memory speed difference between 128gb and 256gb.
is there a difference between the current air series?

Likely the same.

256gb will perform faster than 128gb or 64gb becos this is the ssd behaviour.

But 256gb and 512gb will not make so much difference.
