What is the purpose of the iPad Air?
Perhaps I'm lacking Steve Jobs' visionariness and virulence, but I'm completely baffled by the selling point of the iPad Air.
Generally I'm a more supportive fan of Apple, usually using logical loops within my own twisted cortex to explain why I support their products. However, this time, I'm drawing a blank.
It's a future contraption, likely a functioning herald of a paralleled selling system with a possible iPad 'Pro' (hence the Mini suffix), but that's it. There's nothing else that's coming to me that really stands out. It doesn't have the gimmicky yet proven halo effect of Touch sensors, so we can't say 'hey it's a gigantic 5s' and then watch as Apple rolls in drug money.
Additionally, it doesn't have a comparable dual-lens camera or 120 frames-per-second recording so I can take slow-mos of women jumping up and down in sweaters. Since I can't live out Belafontesque boyhood fantasies with a slab of Star Trek futurist terror-spawn, what is it for?
