iPad Air 2020 Discussions

1 more thing to note is the new air comes with 20w charger as compared to 18w in the pro series

doubt there's any significant difference 18w vs 20w

The default chargers are a joke, can’t even do fast charging. I never even bother taking them out of the box. I use my Satechi 108W charger for everything

Lol same. Gan charger from hypershop for me.

How much faster ah for charging iPad Pro?

They charge at a max of 30W. I'm using Apple's 30W USB-C power adapter and it's a perfect match, and charges fast too.

Lol pointless for using 108W to charge your iPad Pro since iPad can only receive a maximum 30W so the included 20W is sufficient for the iPad Air.

Anyone know of any good case for iPad Air 2020 as well as screen protector that I can buy from? Thanks.

I charge multiple devices. Mainly use the 90W outlet to power my work HP laptop and the rest to charge phone, iPad Pro etc

Yeah definitely, as both iPads share the same 28.6Wh battery. The question is how much more energy efficient is the iPad Air compared to the 11" iPad Pro? Only with hands-on/benchmark tests, we will truly find out the battery/performance gap between the two. It's still too early to tell. iPad Air is expected to be launched after 12th October so you may need to wait a bit for hands-on in-depth comparisons.

Why is it after 12th October?

The new iPad Air is likely to be ineligible from the airpods back to school promo which ends on 12 October. Currently this promo is exclusive to the iPad Pro range and the mac lineup.

One staff at Apple Orchard explicitly told me that they will be stores from "late october".

The 1st pair of iPhone 12s is scheduled to hit stores on 23rd October. I'm sure they would want to release the new iPad Air days before that.

I jumped and bought iPad Pro instead.

iPad Air 64GB - $879
iPad Air 256GB - $1099
iPad Pro 128GB - $1199

I think get iPad air if you going for the base 64GB model. Otherwise, just top up $100 more and buy myself a usb c drive, I get a much more powerful machine + airpod.

that is my plan too - to get ipad pro instead of air4. But now i am still waiting for iphone 12's news to be released before making my decision to buy.

Why does an iPhone 12 release got to do with your decision to purchase an iPad now?

no money? only have $ for one gadget.

That I understand but both iPhone and iPad serves different purposes so money should not come into equation in your decision making?

Just did a check on Apple SG store. Seems like they are launching the Wifi version first.

If you select the wifi version of iPad Air 4, it will show that the delivery is "coming soon" while if you select cellular, it will show "Currently unavailable".
