All iPads iPad Air 2019 - never on sale?

[heyyitssusan]

Hi guys,
I currently have a 10.5” iPad Pro and thinking about eventually getting the air. I realize I don’t really need the “pro” for what I use my iPad for, and the cost of the Air is way better compared to the iPP.

Has anyone seen a sale for them? Even the iPP has been on sale pretty recently. I do see the cellular model air on sale now, but I just want the WiFi only. Don’t plan on hooking it up to cellular and don’t really need to.

I think the Air was $100 off across the board just 1-2 weeks ago.

That said, if you already have an iPad Pro 10.5, is there any reason you wish to get the 2019 Air? It's like a minor CPU upgrade for major features reduction (no ProMotion, no quad speakers, worse camera with no LED flash, 1GB less RAM, etc).

It’s precisely alike rui wrote, going from an old Pro to the Air is a downgrade in various respects.

Oh really? I'm not really looking to upgrade now, but just looking at what options are out there when it's time to. Or if I decide to pass this device onto a family member.

I’d rather look for a discounted 2018 iPad Pro, there should be some on sale these days - or a refurbished one straight from Apple. Best success!

the Air 3 is a huge downgrade to your pro 2017. If anything,just replace your battery. The CPU bump will be hardly noticeable.

I picked up an Apple certified refurbished 2018 iPad Pro 12.9" Space Gray 256GB WIFI only for $746 including a 10% veteran's discount. Looks and acts brand new. Love it.

Huge downgrade is a bit of stretch there bud...

Check if your family member is a power user or you might just have the same use case. If he/she needs the pro features (for drawing or multitasking), then getting the Air for yourself is a noble idea. It’s a downgrade all aspect except the processor speed but it’s only minimal + you lose 1GB of RAM. I’ve also heard that since losing the 120Hz refresh rate, the device lasts longer than 10.5” Pro but that’s a really minor convenience IMO.
