My 2013 iPad finally decided it no longer plays nice with most apps and websites… so I purchased the most practical replacement for it; a MacBook Pro.

All valid points, Drew. In 2018 I bought the brand new redesigned iPad Pro and to this day it still looks and feels brand new. There is no slowness whatsoever. Even though I paid a lot for it, I've gotten 6 years of use out of it. So yes, there are better deals out there, but buying a refurbished iPad Air is not going to give me the same longevity and usefulness. It's like Rene Ritchie always says. You buy the best product you can afford and then you love the heck out of it for as long as you can.

I’d wait for WWDC to find out what Apple has in mind for the iPad Pro

Devices are getting too good that their predecessors most of the time are the wiser choice

[BaconFaceMcGee]

My issue with used, not refurbished electronics is wear on the internals, such as the battery may have poor health or less than 80% left.

My 2015 iPad Pro still runs really smoothly and without any problems. Only slight problems are battery degradation and Apple dropped software updates for this device

Interesting how negative he is toward iPads over MacBooks, when iPads generally have been gaining the most features in the past 10 years.

Literally the only reason I replaced my iPad Air 2 with the 9th gen is because it only had 16gb of storage. My dad uses the Air 2 for work now, it's a 10 year old device now.

My 2018 11" ipad pro still works fine

When many people are shopping based on credit (payments with 0% interest) buying used is a hard sell.

829$ for an M1 12.9 256gb from Apple is a great deal. Plus the mini led panel gives you 1600 nits of peak hdr. Seems like a much better buy than an m2 air or m4 pro

Something’s not right! My Apple Sheep is becoming corrupted. You were the chosen one!

your intro skits are getting better and better with each video!

still rocking my 9th gen ipad 🙂and combined with my M1 Max macbook pro i'm happy for a while longer

A new iPad 9 is $249 right now on Amazon. I like mine and probably won’t buy a new one for several years.

[peterparker]

Thanks for confirming what i was thinking. Only the Pro had an 12.9inch version until now. Off the Apple site the 2021 iPad Pro makes more sense with better hardware for $830 compare to the Air at $799

[MsMRkv]

I'm still using my 2013 nexus 7, it's not an ipad but it does get the job done

[clarencebrider]

The iPad Air 5 with M1 is $399 at Walmart at the moment.

Since the iPad has Face ID, I don't understand why it does not have an option to set up a personalized spatial audio profile. Even though it says that it is for iPhone X or later, they should have included iPads with Face ID.

[Roguetrainer]

Weirdly, in the UK the new iPad Air is actually less expensive than the last model with twice the storage and a newer chip. So that’s the best value iPad for us by far.

oled is the only reason i would switch . watching movies at night in that grey lcd is horrible
