Currently using an ipad Pro with 10.5 inch screen with both wifi and data. 64 Gig memory.
Curious what you guys think of the same, or similar products. Seems most will be in the $600 range.
There’s probably going to be a new iPad Air (4) in the next few weeks, bigger screen, updated stuff inside, the usual. I’d hang tight a few weeks to see if you like it, and if there’s any good sales on the previous models. Itll probably be very similar to the current iPad Pro 11 inch, based off rumors.
Air 3 is very similar to your iPad Pro, just less “pro” (screen refresh on the Air is not as good, meaning smoother scrolling on the Pro, not hugely significant). If you don’t mind a device a year old or so, you can probably sneak a good deal on it around thanksgiving. I did that for the Pro 10.5 for my wife and it works great for her, as she doesn’t need the latest to read magazines or watch movies on it.
Ive had no complaints on all the iPads I’ve owned for personal use or work. Bought them for my folks too, and I can’t praise the simplicity enough for them (saved me a lot of time as tech support).
Verdict: wait until October or so to see what Apple puts out. Then decide if you want the latest, or a good sale on an older model.
