i’ll choose the 64GB with LTE connectivity and i wont go beyond 128GB.
mahal talaga ng ipad, kailan kaya sila maglalabas ng affordable ipad.
meron na rin itong plan sa smart telco.
i remember my ipad air, not much so difference between the two device, ill stick to my old ipad air.
i disagree, just look the specs sheet, the ipad air 2 has better display and protection, better cpu/chipset, bigger ram, better rear camera, and comes with touch id sensor.
