iPad has reached that state. The regular iPad and the Pro make some sense but the Air is in a very awkward middle.


The Air exists so the Pro can have expensive Pro features and the (null) iPad can hit an impulse purchase price point.

While those two are pulling in opposite directions, having nothing in the middle would leave a big market gap.


Air as an idea makes sense—with pro you pay extra for more power, with Air I thought the idea was you paid more for the same functionality, but in a thinner/lighter form factor.

Is it really just between the Pro and nothing at this point? Because that’s dumb if so.
