MY Pricing

32GB WiFi - RM1449
128GB WiFi - RM1849

32GB WiFi and Cellular - RM1999
128GB WiFi and Cellular - RM2399

Yeah I think pricing actually increases a little bit rite if not wrong.

Notice a few difference of this iPad with the 6th gen one.

1) no mention of second gen Touch ID like other iPad on the spec page -> could it be 1st gen?
2) it is heavier than 6th gen iPad

so this Ipad is more STURDIER & heavy duty compared to Ipad pro yes?

but doesn't have the 120hz ProMotion tech right?
Using only apple pencil 1st gen?

This is the basic iPad. How can you even compare with iPad Pro.

It is just an iPad for anyone to buy an iPad without thinking since it is at the cheapest price.

No pro features.

Apple Pencil 1st gen all the while it supports.
Just this round Apple added smart connector to it to support Smart Keyboard.

And it also has a slightly bigger display at 10.2-inch instead of 9.7-inch.

So just so I’m clear, the key attraction is the entry point (price) and not that there are any new features not previously present in the Air 3 right?

yes. correct. it is the cheapest ipad anyone can get but pack with more than its price equivalent of values to be fair.

now even with bigger screen, support for smart keyboard.

smart keyboard expensive. my old airpad 1 just use a Belkin keyboard for the last 3 years, very cheap and gooding.
a slightly larger screen is welcome.
but the sleeper ipad is the 2017 ipad pro 10.5, if you can still find it.

that is good also. just processor is 3 years old now.

yeah but the new ipad 10.2 has a 4 year old SoC. lol

And now the iPad Air 3 seems a little redundant... (and I happen to have one, sigh)...

It still has better screen than the ipad 10.2-inch what. Fully laminated and better processor. Just that for other things all can be done on this ipad 10.2-inch if u dun really care about the display.

A10 chip is indeed old but still very capable.

Likely that Apple will follow this trend to give u ok processor at that year but not the latest due to its price.

Yeah, but for my usage which is limited to media consumption, e-reader, some light emails and web browsing, the 10.2 iPad would do...

Oh well, 2020 iPad Pro?

perhaps with the wifi + 5G cellular capability, with the rest of the iDevice lineups e.g Iphone 12

I think 5G is still quite a distance away for us here in Malaysia. I wouldn’t pay additional $ for a 5G device just yet. Maybe by the end of 2020 or early 2021 we’ll have a clearer picture

Indeed.

Apple tv+ in this iPad can use in Malaysia right?
