The new iPad Air is certainly a svelte and sleek device, but I’m not sure it’s a worthwhile upgrade from my third-generation iPad. A faster processor won’t make a much of a difference when I’m reading or scanning my Twitter feed. The slimmer profile is eye-catching, but my iPad always sits on a stand and is easily portable as is. I’d happily pay for a version with a larger screen, which may come in another generation or two. Apple already convinced me to upgrade my phone to the 5S, so I doubt the ghost of Steve Jobs will be offended if I sit out this product cycle.
