Default IPad Air 2

Is it worth me selling my 32gb iPad air to get the same air 2? I looked at some of the specs but is it worth the upgrade?

I'm sure Jack got rid of an iPad 2 years ago, just cause he said that I doubt he actually did it

And now for the first useful post in this thread... Do you need the extra 32gb of space? As there isn't a 32gb air 2. If not, personally I wouldn't bother. The air and the air 2 are going to be pretty close perfirmance wise.

I could easily fill the 64gig as I have lots of big apps I could put on and I could also add some music for a change.

Doubt there will be many discounts on the new iPad Air 2. Probably the only ways to get discounts would be to be a Student and buy it from Apple as they usually give student discounts, or if you have some loyalty or cashback programme that allows you to purchase Apple products from somewhere.

I can't wait for mine now, been without an iPad for over a week and keep reading things like this http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/iPad/...re.asp?c=62188 Quadlock case for the 6+ moved out to Nov/Dec so I can't trade in my 5s yet.

I play Trials Frontier for a quick fix and sometimes Real Racing if there's an event. Both ran on the iPad 2 but RR did sometimes struggle and will of course look a whole lot better, not the same on the 6+ it's a massive phone but it's not a full iPad replacement.

My daughter has hinted at an Ipad for xmas. I have 2 issues. 1) I fapping hate Apple with all my heart, and 2) I don't want to spend £400+ on the latest gadget for a 9 year old

Was think about the Ipad Mini 2 at a reasonable £239. Will this be suitable for her needs (apps, Instagram, Facetime etc)

Alternative would be samsungs new tab s the 8 incher, think that's 319 has a lot of very screen

However my six year old has had the option of playing wi both over the years, and even though I'm an avid windows man, pad is what she prefers

I may just take my iPad air to the Apple Store and compare load times. There will still be good resale value in my Air.
