Are you an iPad owner? Which model do you think is the best? Applu was the most successful?
So far I have iPad mini 4a I'm still waiting for a successor, but I'm guessing that there won't be one
So it's boring straight ahead. It's just a shame, isn't it? mini 4 already in total nesthaha
So too.
I also waited, waited and waited... and this year at the beginning of January I bought iPad Pro 10,5″ and I have absolutely no regrets. Even if I take ipad mini 2 in hand, so I wonder how I could have worked on this :-))))
iPad Pro The 10,5″ is clearly the best I've ever had, thanks to the very good LCD and the sound output - the 4 speakers are really noticeable. For those who want to save money, I would choose this year's iPad. It's definitely a very good tablet for little money.

FOR 10.5.
ipad Pro 10,5"
It's just a shame that mini 4 already in total nestline.
That's already nestíhá – where did the mistake happen? If the original one remained iOS so would he be able to?
What is the lesson from this? Do not update iOS and notchat the one that is from “production”?
As for axes, on the contrary, GUI speed is the best since iOS 10 of course not like 9
My cue is overall CPU GPU performance .. I play The Simpsons Tapped Out and I already have such a big city that it's quite a chore .. pri iPhone I don't have that problem.
I am lucky to mini 4 years ios 9.3.5. Perfectly fits.
I'm quietly envious. I have too iPad mini 3. Unfortunately iOS 11???
Thanks to "speed" an almost worthless piece of iron.
On my current iPad PRO 10.5 I have iOS 11 which is perfectly fast here. This iOS I'll probably keep this iPad until the end of its life. Same with the X.
