- [ ] OLED display screen
- [ ] 3D Touch
- [ ] Apple Pen compatible
- [ ] True multitasking in background for at least 1 App
I think your first point demonstrates that you, like millions more, want ever faster specifications for bragging rights alone. If the A8x is fast enough to do everything you can muster with almost no slowdown, the A9x is superfluous and wanting the hypothesised A10x proves my point.
Incremental upgrades are of course important, otherwise the current hardware would have outdated components, but unless there's a use, alone, it hardly seems like a worthwhile upgrade. If it coincides with an increase in ram to aid split screen performance and perhaps an OLED screen I'd be interested, but the Air 2 is still more than capable of all apps currently available.
