    iPad iPad Air release date

    It's unfortunate that Apple hasn't mentioned a tentative release date for many countries. I've been waiting for a while to buy an iPad and Air seems to be perfect for me. Unfortunately I don't know when they plan to release in my country. I hope they don't make us wait for too long.

    iPad 2019 iPad Air Does NOT Support USB 3.0

    USB 3 speeds are supported only on iPad Pro. I was hoping this statement was not true, because it's 2019 and this a new iPad but looks like it is. I chatted with Apple Support and they could not confirm that the latest iPad Air supports USB 3. It was surprising that they did not have technical...

    2010/11/12 MacBook Air
