Now with the iPad Air... I'm not so sure.

But I would wait until black friday/cyber monday to order this. Not going first wave this time around.
Curious, How much does it cost on black friday?

Came very close to buying the air today. But seeing the new mini in space gray, I'll be picking up the mini with retina when it's out.

get the ipad air. I had the Note8 and wish I got the Note 10 instead. With Ipad Air being so light it doesn't hurt to hold it in your hands for awhile.

^^ agree. New ipad air is just beautiful. Was close to buying it too, but then when i thought about it, i have a iPhone 5, and mac book air 13inch. Wouldn't make sense to get another 9.7 inch screen. Ill settle for the mini retina =)

Any news on the iPad mini retina?

I bought an iPad air... but returned it the next day because it was still not small/light enough.

I use the exact same combo! I find it perfect for my needs (I don't need computing performance). Once I got the macbook air, I never touched my iPad 2. I gave it to my girl friend. I'm very tempted to buy the new iPad mini but I'm also discouraged by the rumours of the bigger iPhone 6.

I'm gonna be one of those when mini drops. Went to apple store ready to buy the air if impressed but other than the weight (still feel its a tad too heavy) and smaller bezel nothing that much better than my pad3 (its my glorified web browser when watching TV/Dramas/Gaming) so gonna wait for the mini.

Going to pick up the ipad air tomorrow. I had the note 8 for awhile. The size is good for travel but watching video on it seems a bit small. Sold the note 8 to a co worker.

I'm thinking about picking one of these up for my mom with 3G so she can read while taking the bus. Does anyone know which carriers offer shared data (duo sims) other than Telus & Bell ?

^ Rumors earlier today are for Nov 12th (tomorrow) release for Retina Mini. If you go to the Apple store it's now offline while they update so tomorrow is a very good chance.

Apple plans to launch the iPad Mini Retina tomorrow in the United States, Australia, China (Wi-Fi only), Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, and Singapore.... No Canada?

Yup!


I bought an air to replace my broken iPad 3 screen haha, love the thing it's light and got the leather cover.. only downfall is the leather cover is a bit too expensive...


Just bought the iPad mini retina to replace the old one for my girlfriend, only thing I didn't like it was due to the screen! Too bad no touch id.. would be amazing with it! But then again, I don't really lock my iPad's because it's less of a personal thing than a phone since my friends like to screw around with me and mess with my phone haha

Just out of curiosity, I am thinking of getting the ipad air but is it really that much of an upgrade from the previous gens? I am probably just going to watch videos, browse the web on wifi etc and use it when I am travelling. Just wanted to know if I can save a few bucks and get the older gen ipad's that function the same way.
