    It's the apple insider app in my phone giving me 3 notifications in a row for rumors...I don't care about rumors, I want NEWS, when apple has/announces an event or releases something, then I want a notification.

    Well you've come to the wrong forum. Frankly you've come to the wrong Internet.

    If I wanted just news about Apple rather than rumour or discussion I would just watch the 6pm local news which, as I recall, did a small piece on all new iPhones and iPads. It's less likely to cover Mac releases.

    We are here for rumours. AppleInsider. Pretending to have inside information since the late nineties. Still the best place for Apple discussion. On real news. And rumours.

    The iPad mini retina had the iPad Air as competition and I expect many were like me and decided to go with the larger device since weight wise it wasn't much of an issue.

    you're right, but, I can go to the app for all the rumors, it just would be nice to find a way to get notifications of real news without notifications of all the many rumors. ...I have turned off all notifications from the apple insider app. ...but, I'd still like to find a source that will give me the kind of notifications I want. ...I'm sure there is a way to do that, since AppleInsider seems to select which articles are pushed to notifications, as I don't get them for all articles, nor every day.

    Re: Apple should just sell $299 Mini and $399 Air with 32GB

     

    You have to look at the base cost numbers.  Before the iPad Mini came out, I too hoped it would be just $299.  But when I saw the iSupply BOM (raw material cost) was almost $300, I knew this was impossible.  The BOM doesn't even include labor costs, and Apple needs to make around 40% margin on these things.

     

    Basically, watch iSupply - when the BOM drops below $200, you can start reasonably expecting a $299 device.  Otherwise, you get what you pay for - these are extremely compact and portable computers with high res screens.  It's like asking for a $299 Macbook Air. :)

    I know several iPad 2 owners who are literally waiting for "Touch ID" to upgrade their iPad.

    Thanks for pointing that out.  When I first read the breaking rumors, all I thought they were saying is that Apple would be releasing minor upgrades to the iPad this year.
