I love my iPad Air 2, and I was hoping to upgrade to the new iPad Pro.
I am able to afford the tablet and I don't mind paying an Apple 'premium' because I know it will pay itself back in terms of reliability, resale value and what not.
However, for me, the recent iPad Pro price points cross over into the 'obscene'.
Over here in the UK the 128Gb / 8Gb Surface Go was available last weekend with a keyboard for £509. The iPad Pro (256Gb / 4Gb with Smart Keyboard Folio, which I think is a fair comparison) comes to a whopping £1098.
That's over double the price for a 'computer' with a crippled OS. If I knew it would be a good future investment because Apple is planning a major overhaul of iOS I may be persuaded.
Does anyone else find it impossible to justify purchasing Apple products anymore?
