Buying the IPAD AIR 2...

irishguy1983

Should I just hand on until Oct when an updated version is out and I presume the price will drop for the Air 2 will just drop??? Is that how ir normally works??

Also on this website it is going for 479 which is a bit cheaper than usual - anything dodgy here??????

Any proof that there will be a new iPad air? There might be a new iPhone but nobody said anything about a new iPad..

I am just presuming so to be honest - they generally come out with a new one every Oct plus this is just what internet rumors are suggesting.

Also thinking of buying iPad so may hijack this thread. There is roughly €100 in difference between 16GB and 64GB. If all my documents will be stored in cloud is 16GB enough for apps? Anyone with 16GB version having space issues?

Most of the rumour sites have said very little about an upgrade to the iPad Air 2. There may be a bump for the Mini and likely an announcement of the iPad Pro. Therefore it is very possible there will be no upgrade this year for the normal sized iPad.

I had a 16GB iPad previously and currently have an iPad Air 32GB and think this is the sweet spot. With 16GB, given that IOS takes up a fair bit of space, you will always be nursing storage space. Get the bigger capacity and it never enters your head...

Apple have updated the Ipad every October for the last few years with a November release date so it's pretty safe to assume that it will happen again this year.

That said Air 2 is still a good product but I would not buy it from Simply Electronics. Heard bad stories before about them. Quick google gave me this page.

I would get this directly from Apple and from their refurbished section where the products are perfect and you get some discount and full warranty. See link below. 16gb wife Air 2 is only €429 so cheaper than that dodgy site.

One questionable rumor has suggested that Apple does not plan to upgrade the iPad Air 2 in 2015, instead waiting until 2016 to introduce a new version in order to focus on the larger-screened iPad Pro. While this is not out of the realm of possibility given the minor update the iPad mini 3 received last year, it is also unsubstantiated at this point in time.

I would recommend buying the iPad Air 2 from the Apple refurbished store. Definitely go for the 64gb buying the 16gb will leave you frustrated as hell having to delete apps and photos.

+1. You might like the storage for movies or music and streaming may not be an option. If you can get a refurb, then that's always good. Unless you're specifically holding out for a feature like force touch, then they're always be a newer machine around the corner.

and when will android users ever learn that posting "helpful" comments in an Apple Devices forum are not exactly helpful?

Does an iPad with come with the card? No , well there ya go.

Some people like iPads and iOS you know, there's always cheaper alternatives out there but people are entitled to spend their money as they wish without you judging them.

Even after Asmooh pointed out you said it was 48GB and linked to a 64GB card, you still haven't copped it. :pac::pac:

He said

I'm going to do this in baby steps,

64Gb minus 16Gb is 48Gb.

This is the difference you are paying for.

Asmooh misreads the post quoting the read speed of the card I linked to stating the speed is 48MB/sec which although correct has little to do with my first post.

Then you back him up on it again misinterpreting my post again.

Hey sonny, why don't you go off and troll another site like a good little boy. No-one on this board is remotely interested in your childish behaviour. Here, take €2 and go buy yourself a choc-ice... good lad...off you go...

Don't feed the troll, people.
