    The iPad mini 3 is basically the same as the iPad mini 2 which is similar to the iPad Air you already have but with a smaller screen.

    Correct. No point in trading the Air 1 for a mini 3 unless you want the smaller screen. Also the Air 2 has a number of issues at present. Better sticking with the Air 1 for the time being.

    cool.. so stick w/32gigs or go up to 64?

    Air 1 has better performance than any mini. Most say there's almost no diff between air 1 and 2.

    And i think mini retina still comes with ios7 preinstalled

    I runs really good for me,8.1.1 was another improvement that fixed the"scrollview bug"in Auria for example.I made a comparison today,my mini retina with ios 7.1.2 vs Air 2 with 8.1.1 and everthing on the Air 2 is smooth as butter and"snappier"than on my previous ipad.I'm quite happy with my purchase (and ios 8) now although i rarely use AB,i prefer IAA and i never open more than 2-3 plugins/apps at once before i start to freeze.I did it this way before and i continue to do so on the Air 2 to minimize problems.

    @Crabman my experiences with the iPad mini retina versus the iPad Air 2 are similar to yours. I haven't had any problem with the hardware at all.

    I have to take back the comment about"scrollview bug fixed".Rim said that it's not really fixed with 8.1.1 but it does make his workarround...well...work :) look into the Auria forum if interested in more details :) But i never noticed this bug in another app app than Auria.Besides this the only Air 2 related issue i really had was that iOS did not release Ram properly sometimes.That was on 8.1,i have to do another stress test with Auria to see if it's stil present in 8.1.1.

    But it's really a breeze to have more Ram available,the difference is huge (With Safari for example,no problems here).I just don't care that much anymore to force quit all apps that i don't use in a certain moment.

    Crabman is right about the RAM on the Air 2. It's double the RAM of the Air 1. Plus you get the A8 processor. One thing I thought I didn't need is the fingerprint scanner. But it's really nice to be able to access the iPad with the touch of a finger, rather than having to swipe it. :)
