Gonna be a mini coming my way it looks like. Spec looks better than I had hoped

Is this event over, or are they still blathering?

Can anyone give an accurate description of the new things versus the old, ipad mini versus 2, what has changed, res wise, camera wise etc.

Is the air the only new ipad? Where does it score in relation to the ipad4, gfx wise processor wise etc?

All info here -

Yeah, kudos to Apple for not gimping it. Even if it costs a few more squiddlies.

What time will Mavericks be available?

All the details are best read on the Apple website.

Yes but it's full of lies.

The new A7 chip in iPad Air was designed with 64-bit architecture. It delivers killer performance — up to two times faster CPU and graphics performance than its predecessor — without sacrificing battery life.

The ipad Air has never existed, so what are they considering to be 'its' predecessor, since it hasn't had one? The ipad 4? the ipad 2?

ahh nightmare, haswell 13inch macbook air looks really crap against new 13inch rmbp

 

[Raymond Lin]

The Mini is going to be a little dynamite of a tablet I think....tempted actually.

 

[MagicBoy]

Same when you think we'll get it? Maybe not tonight?

Bear in mind it's not even midday in California. I'd hazard a guess it'll be 11pm or later Uk time as that's what usually happens with iOS releases.

The iPad 4 is its predecessor. The iPad Air does everything 2x faster than the 4. The iPad mini with retina display is 4x CPU and 8x GPU faster than the old mini.

OK massive dilema, thinking about getting rid of my 13inch Macbook air that is a few months old and switchign to the retina 13inch thats just come out!

If it is better for your needs, then why not. If you won't get much of a boost from it, then it wouldn't be necessary.

Just noticed on the edu' store, the 32GB Retina mini is £400, the 32GB Air is £464.40 - really tempted. MUST RESIST. Current Mini is enough...

 

[Flukester]

Yea but.. $300!? for 96gb!?

It's really a net based cloud computing device... Who cares. Seriously you only need 16GB VERSION

 

[DAnDan]

Seriously you only need 16GB VERSION

Oh come on!

Just because you only need 16GB absolutely does not mean everyone does!

The one iPad model you've mentioned that is no longer listed on the website. Hint, it ends in a 4

 

[Housey]

When will my new free mavericks thing arrive, I'm waiting here!!!!

 

[Ryan-3]

Hey, don't go thinking of others!

Just started my download of Mavericks

Excellent thank you.
From what I can tell the internals are all the same now, the screen res the same etc. The only question you need to ask yourself is do I want a 7.9inch display or a 9.7inch display?

They have same OS, same camera, same processors, same memory allocation etc? Is anything else different about them?

 

[Skyboat]

Can the people who are downloading and installing Mavericks, could you post the build number please?

 

[Maccy]

Mac Pro is on the cards for me I think, base spec should do me fine. With a 27" display that's going to be costly at £2700 odd though!

 

[Chives]

How are people getting Mavericks? nothing showing on the app store for me
