Nothing on RAM yet? Uh oh.

They're not going to mention the RAM, ever. But all the other leaks were right, so 2GB seems likely.

 

[Trago]

"Console quality" has been said pretty much every year :/

 

[TheAbsolution]

The camera is the feature that I love the most about the iPad? uhhh.

 

[Deadstar]

Yikes 10 hours. Terrible.

 

[zychi]

Its about what we're down to though. Not much left you can do. Spec race is about done, so this is the obvious next step, along with wearables.

Battery life, better res screen(crazy right?) no bezel.

Basically all i want left with what they can do on ipad.

"Console quality" has been said pretty much every year :/

it is console quality.

 

[jimbobsmells]

its gold!

all i ever wanted was a gold ipad.

 

[LCfiner]

yeah, mute/rotation lock switch is gone.

maaaan. I loved that switch. sad that it’s gone now.

 

[Chris R]

I'd like to see the iPad get the 6 Plus sensor FRONT and back.

 

[JBuccCP]

I was looking down and thought he said a a parrot could read to their children.

 

[The Real Abed]

Until you get people putting the damn thing into a keyboard case. Every time I use the iPad Air we have here at my work I take it out of the case and use it naked.

I sometimes wish I could do that with my mini. It's so thin and light and my case makes it twice that. But I know if I do I will drop it. It's also a stand so it's very convenient.

"All day battery life, 10 hours of battery."

.......hm.

I guess they sleep 14 hours each night?

Also, am I still the only one that thinks it's super embarrassing to take video and camera shots with something huge as an iPad (or any tablet)? Plus, for the price of that, I could get an infinitely better and legit camera.

 

[Necrovex]

Has the conference touched on the iPad Mini yet?

 

[Technosteve]

no lock switch wtf

 

[Deleted member 22576]

yeah, mute/rotation lock switch is gone.

maaaan. I loved that switch. sad that it’s gone now.

that switch is vital to the ipad why would they change it. i cant even imagine the ipad without it. thats like removing the home button.

 

[Aiii]

Nothing yet that is steering me away from the Nexus 9 as successor to the iPad Mini Retina.

 

[richiek]

Still no camera flash.

 

[Vyer]

yeah, apps that integrate with the tablet camera are pretty fucking awesome

 

[Bloodrage]

They're not going to mention the RAM, ever. But all the other leaks were right, so 2GB seems likely.

I'd be satisfied with 2GB.

 

[Phreaker]

My pictures never look as good as the ones they show though.

 

[zychi]

no lock switch wtf

swipe up, everything the switch did is in a easy menu now

 

[TheDrowningMan]

"All day battery life, 10 hours of battery."

.......hm.

10 hours of use. Not 10 hours on standby.

 

[Pachimari]

The battery life on the earlier iPads were 10 hours as well right?

 

[Cse]

So, the iPad Air 2 is 6.1 mm, has the same sensor as the iPhone 6/6 Plus, but doesn't bulge out from the device...

Meanwhile the 6 Plus is also 6.1 mm....yet has the camera bulge...

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Still no camera flash.

That's... this is 2014. Still no flash on shit? God man...

 

[Trago]

it is console quality.

Wish they could tell us what console quality games from developers are coming.

 

[mid83]

I have an iPad 2 so I might be picking this one up. It depends on the RAM. I won't bite on 1 GB but it has the rumored 2 GB then I'm sold.

 

[Two Words]

Wonder why they had no low-light photos....

 

[flyover]

swipe up, everything the switch did is in a easy menu now

Yeah, I never use the switch anymore. (And I loved it, too.)

 

[Jaxx]

The big question - can I play Solitaire and return to Safari and not have it constantly reload the page?

 

[Corgi]

glad the camera got improved. I mean its a losing game trying to get people to stop being assholes and taking pics with their tablets... at least they look decent now

 

[Zane]

BURSTU MODU

 

[Vanillalite]

Okay move it along. Cameras on tablets are Zzzzz

 

[nature boy]

Jesus Christ the Verge (and mainly Nilay Patel) are so pathetic.

Same sensor doesn't mean same optics.

 

[Aiii]

Yes, from the first one on, always 10 for the wifi models.

 

[Deadstar]

I've owned the ipad for about a year. I've NEVER used that switch once.

 

[Certinty]

If the lowest storage version stays at £399 I'll actually consider getting an Air 2. I don't mind carrying my ultrabook around but the poor battery life makes me want to consider a tablet.

 

[Blablurn]

beautiful

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Jesus Christ the Verge (and mainly Nilay Patel) are so pathetic.

I'm watching the liveblog on Engadget. What are they saying over there?

 

[Deleted member 22576]

I can't wait to start making timeplapse stuff when I get the new phone.

 

[Maninthemirror]

"Burst Selfies"

smh....

 

[Vyer]

Nothing yet that is steering me away from the Nexus 9 as successor to the iPad Mini Retina.

I prefer my tablet to actually have tablet apps. As an owner of both nexus 7s, nothing about android tablets sets it apart from an iPad. Surface Pros have a much more legit claim to being significantly more unique.

 

[TheDrowningMan]

I guess they sleep 14 hours each night?

Or don't have their iPad in their hands being used for a preposterous amount of time.

 

[Corgi]

The big question - can I play Solitaire and return to Safari and not have it constantly reload the page?

apparently 8.1 fixes that somewhat from what i hear from beta.

 

[Two Words]

120fps? Pfft, my phone can do 240!

 

[TheAdventuresofSteph]

clapping for slo-mo o_0 ... Okay

 

[Megasoum]

God dammit Apple, still can'T stream properly... The stream always loop back a couple of seconds every 5 seconds.

 

[sc0la]

No mute switch? even apple can't leak their own shit right
(unless the mini still has it)

 

[LCfiner]

hey just put your ipad down in the sand while I run up and jump right into it. don’t worry, I’ll miss it by a couple inches.

 

[Ermac]

Bands a make her dance.
