iPad promises huge speed improvement

The new iPad Air promises to be up to 80% faster than the iPad 4, according to Apple. The iPad Air, according to John Poole, will be powered by an A7 processor, same as the iPhone 5s and will run at 1.4 GHz, 100 MHz faster than the iPhone 5s. Poole is "not sure whether the iPad Air's processor is faster due to a larger battery (which offers more power), a larger chassis (which offers better cooling), or a combination of the two," but he does think the processor of the IPad Mini's A7 to reach the same speed of 1.4 GHz. The new iPad is also five times faster than the iPad 2, which is merely one hundred dollars cheaper than the upcoming Air. 

I think this is a great inivation. This will surely lead to faster processing speeds in other computer systems. I believe that the obsolete iPad 2 should be cheaper than its current price of $399. It would be more profitable to Apple because more people are more likely to by an old model for $100 than spend $400 when they can by a better model for just $100 more.
