Just ordered an iPad Air 11“ 256gb in space gray yesterday.

Idgaf about the 60hz display, its fine for me.

I mostly use an iPad for content consumption. I won’t pay more than 350 for an iPad.

i’m probably the only person that did this, but I ordered a iPad 10th gen 256GB Cellular version. I just need it for like… content consumption and be able to browse and run a few sports apps. nothing crazy. the discount makes it worth it + the blue on the 10th gen ipad is a lot nicer than the new blue.

The new iPad Pro is nice. What I really like, however, is the new Magic Keyboard. That being said, afrer three years my 12.9" M1 iPad with Magic Keyboard is still plenty of iPad for my needs.

I use my iPad to read newspapers, magazines, pdfs and books… as well as social media, surfing and watching movies. Time to upgrade from my Air 2. Seriously thinking of 13 0:15 inch 128 gig Air. Looks like best option for reading and making notes etc 🤔

My wife is an artist and lusting after the new Apple Pencil Pro. I’m getting her an Air 11” with 256gb and the pencil for our anniversary to replace her mini laptop and huion tablet which has had issues since we got it. (She knows and has approved.)

I will be buying the 10G iPad when it goes on sale. It has several advantages of the 9G: USB-C and not Lightning, a landscape camera, and a new chip. If you’re going to recommend the 9G you should point out that since it has an older chip its lifetime will be shorter.

I'd buy iPad Pro Mini (or Mini Pro). Just treat it with that Tandem XDR with pinch of ProMotion.

Holding on my M1 iPad Pro i genuinely don’t care about thinness

[Wokiis]

If there is no desire for the newest Pencil, I’d say the new Air is the least interesting because used/furbed M1/M2 ipad pros have way better screens and speakers for similar prices or cheaper. The best new ipad for the price remains being the base ipad.

Waiting to see what the new iPadOS brings before buying any more iPads.

[joanns]

Yup, the 11" iPad Air is the one I bought, but in Starlight.

Amazon Prime Days is coming in June I think.. so I bet those old/close out models show up there

[MesozoicZac]

Just preordered the new iPad Pro 13” with a terabyte of storage. I use iPad every day for digital art, photo editing and some video editing. Thought I’d reeeaaally future proof myself with this one. I’m also going to use it as my main school device going forward. Can’t wait to get my hands on this thing. So, so pumped.

Finally decided to upgrade from my 2020 11inch pro with 12z chip to pro 11 inch 256gb m4

[akirastate]

While the new iPad Pro is nice, I have no reason to upgrade. For starters, I have the 2022 11 inch M2 iPad Pro. It may not have the fancy OLED display, but it still performs great after over a year, and it can still tackle any task I can throw at it and it has 1TB, almost half of which are movies and music. The small upgrades are not enough for me to consider the new models, especially from a cost perspective. Apple really needs to step it up on the battery life department. After several iterations, they all offer only 10 hours of battery life, which is dependent on what a user is doing.

I'm going to college next fall and I appreciate this video very much!!!! I'm going to get the Air as a Music Education major!

I have the mini 6 and see no need for a new ipad

[rommelflores]

Do not pay a premium for a device with a 60hz screen.
