Yup. 64gb will be minimum. Somehow Apple forced u to go for 128gb.

With iPadOS external drives will be supported so you won’t need that high internal storage if you can manage your stuffs. But on the flip side, external drives with lightning connectors are still very expensive.

and the stupid lighting connector with usb also expensive..ori 189 lol.i still thinking if need this

Taobao got a lot of cheaper options - but dunno can work or not, hehehe...

Why bro ?? I am actually considering iPad Air 2019, but surprised to see that Apple refreshed their iPad 9.7" silently too

This iPad though is cheaper, but comes with A10 (same as my current iP7+), compared to Air (2019) at A12. I wonder if the extra money is worth investing in

Oh, because of my usage of the iPad, bro. My usage is pretty much limited to media consumption, e-reader, some light emails and web browsing. I had the 2018 iPad and it was good enough but then I was so fascinated by the 2018 Pro that I upgraded. After that, I had buyer’s remorse and felt it was a little overkill and when the Air 3, launched, I downgraded again Anyways, will stick to this Air 3 and see what the next Pro will look like

Besides the processor, one of the Air 3’s selling point was the smart connector so you have the option of adding the Smart Keyboard, which previously couldn’t be done with the entry level iPad and the Pro one could be too expensive. But now you can do that with the entry level iPad so if you really don’t need all the processing power, the iPad 2019 might do?

for anyone who wants a basic ipad, i think the ipad 2019 still does the job despite it is using A10 chip. but the price justifies for the purchase. one can upgrade more often due to its lower price comparing to buy higher end iPads.

Do you think Apple will upgrade their iPad pro this year sometime soon?? Say Oct 2019 ?? I m still thinking to buy now or wait till what they offer for the ipad pro

How about the battery life?? Is it anywhere close to what the iPad Air 2019 can offer?? I read that 2018 iPad 9.7" battery life is a lot worse than the 2019 iPad air and also 2018 iPad pro 11"

I think it’ll just be a minor refresh if it happens in October. March 2020 could be more likely. Actually one of my main gripe with the Pro is how thin and fragile it was - I keep having the phobia that I would accidentally bend or break it accidentally! I’m waiting to see if the next gen Pro would improve on that too.

Having had all three iPads - the 2018, Pro and Air 3, I’d say the best is the Air 3. The Pro has a 120hz refresh rate so it consumes a fair bit of battery.

Ive been reading in the internet where they claimed iPad Pro (12 or 11'') both bend easily with minimum force

Im also kinda worried of it, but the design is definitely way way better than the dated design of iPad Air 3 (2019). However, the built quality of Air 3 is superb as what i have read so far

you and me both dude.

i am very keen on purchasing ipad pro 11 2018 but maybe i just wait after october event.

chances are, the new ipad pro 2019 will have similar camera lens design like Iphone pro 11, alongside with using A13X chip and other similarities.

but then again, i really aim for 5G capability but that might come on 2022 or above. maybe after 5G has really stabilize in our country, maybe i will consider buying one.

hope Apple could come up with better design than the current "too fragile" & "bend gate" design in the upcoming apple october event.

Watch and weep

yup, thats why im still thinking to get Pro or the 2019 Air. The price difference is also quite subtle.

If Apple is going to refresh their IPad Pro in Oct 2019, high chance that they will be introducing A13X, and fix the bendgate issue?

May I know when will this iPad available in our shore? I wanna get one for my parents, they have no expectations as they will be using it to surf FB and watch YouTube videos mainly, so this iPad suits their needs and my pocket too. I can't seem to see the date yet except for the pricing.

I'm still using my iPad Mini 2, gonna be 6 years old soon but it's so good that I have no intention to change it to newer model yet. Perfect for my travels. Despite iOS 12 is the last update but I can foresee it to last for few more years.

I must say iPads are really worthy for the money spent.

I also want to know the release date.

I went to a machines outlet. Was told that they don't know the release date either.

I wonder why is it so long this time, usually the iPad release in Malaysia is pretty fast, only iPhone was slow but this round iPhone 11 so fast pulak.

May be demand not high enough..

the new 10.2-inch iPad looks not bad. screen looks good despite as usual non-laminated but bigger display with slight thinner bezel than before makes it look more worthy and nicer. As compare to iPad mini, the bezel is not extremely thick like before.

Really good iPad for everyone especially for elderly or kids who do not need professional function like iPad Air or pro.
