*adds date to calendar*

iPad Air 2 with Touch ID please.

Somnambulist · 17 Sep 2014 at 22:03

Touch ID and Apple Pay are obvious upgrades. iPad's that can receive NFC would also be an astute move because it would enable smaller merchants who use them as POS to complete transactions.

I wonder how badly the iPhone 6+ will impact on iPad sales?

Somnambulist · 17 Sep 2014 at 23:13

I shouldn't think it'll matter too much because people will still be buying Apple either way, it's just the customer will get more choice and Apple will scale production appropriately based on sales.

As per my previous thread, I'm looking forward to rMini updates as that will most likely be my next purchase.

No bigger ipad?

I doubt they'll do that as it'll start butchering the market for the Macbook air.

Due a new mini, think it might be an Xmas treat

Minstadave · 18 Sep 2014 at 11:42

I thought an ipad pro was in the pipeline?

The_Abyss · 18 Sep 2014 at 11:55

I'd say the MacBook Air is in more need of an update that the iPad Air. The screen just doesn't cut it any longer.

randal · 18 Sep 2014 at 11:56

Portables be damned, refresh the Mac Mini already.

tsinc80697 · 18 Sep 2014 at 12:01

Bah, hopefully rumours of new iMacs start filtering out, really want a new iMac.

dink · 18 Sep 2014 at 12:27

Pending specs etc I intend to sell my Air and get an iPad Mini Retina 2, will complement my iPhone 6 nicely!

muffins · 18 Sep 2014 at 13:40

Nope…

It's Haswell already, no need for a refresh. Might get a speed bump perhaps.

New screen is what I'm after! Wishful thinking but I was hoping for an announcement/release before the end of the year.

Yeah good point, I'd love a 12-15 inch ipad

MichaelAwkward · 20 Sep 2014 at 12:44

Is it worth waiting to buy a current iPad Air? Will they keep it to replace the iPad Retina and lower the price?

Thinking of getting a refurb one.

MacMiniBoy · 20 Sep 2014 at 14:29

so we are mainly looking at faster + better battery +hopefully quicker charging + touch Id

i wager we will get 64GB for almost the same price as last years 32GB

infact im calling 499 for 64gb Air
