These are the results of the questionnaire survey.
What did you think.

The reason many users don’t upgrade to the new iPad Air is that it’s expensive. Also, the reason why people want to buy a new one seems to be more like “I want a new one soon” rather than “new features and performance.”

In this survey, there were almost no respondents who said they had high expectations for the new iPad Air.
Having said that, I’m really looking forward to actually using the new iPad Air and seeing how far its possibilities expand!
