Apple is expected to announce the iPad Air 2 on Mar. 15 and the device will reportedly be available for purchase by the end of that month. It is expected to come with a base price tag of $499, but users who want to add a physical keyboard and the Apple Pencil to the tablet will have to shell out an extra $169 and $99, respectively.
