Featured Comments

If it's just netflix then I would get the regular ipad and save the cash.
This is mostly correct, and I'd very much agree with the comment, but

(1) not a great idea to recommend a Samsung product when people ask for an iPad
(2) Without heavy promotion/discounts, a Galaxy Tab S9/S9+ comes out much more expensive than this iPad at $449.

That said, Samsung tablets are much better for watching videos, as someone who has both Samsung and iPad Pro 12.9 and uses the Samsung most of the time.
If you're just using it for Netflix (or video consumption) get a Samsung OLED tablet. Much better 16:10 aspect ratio that makes better use of the screens pixel count for movies and by far way better image quality due to OLED screen infinity black contrast than this washed out 4:3 aspect ratio LED panel screen on the iPad Air

I prefer Samsung tablets for consuming content but productivity I prefer iPad

M1 Chip for the Pad OS is way overkill for non-creative users, If people want to use this as a production tool. Get the ipad pro instead with standard 128G storage, you get a much better screen, speaker and camera. if for just media content consumption, you can go with the base ipad for much cheaper, I use ipad 9 for that, its the old design but still support Ipad Pencil version 1. paid less than $180 for it brand new. beware that the base model has limited storage space if you plan to store movies or many apps on it. for work, I use my macbook pro M1 with 1T storage. For basic home use, I have a M1 Mac Mini and use my iPad as my 2nd Monitor (for my Mac Mini) or 3rd Monitor for my macBook Pro via sidecar

It should be in March or April 2024. Very high chance of it coming out very soon. That's why they are dumping these old models out.
11th gen is projected for later in the year.

Quote from JTEEE :
It's rumored to release this week on the Apple website. No Apple event.

If anyone plans to make a purchase sooner than later, just buy it and don't open it yet to see if it will drop even lower.
Air but I don't think 11th gen regular.

No way I would consider getting the 64gb model under any circumstances. Ridiculous they still make them in 2024.

If the main use case is watching Netflix, then certainly 64gb is plenty.

Was the flexing / bending issue ever resolved with this generation of the iPad Air? An Apple store employee refused to acknowledge the issue exists even as I demonstrated it in person using a demo model.

Can anyone who owns one please comment if this is an issue on yours?

I've got "iPad 10th gen 128gb" as the deal alert. Think that's good enough to get pinged for the right deal?

I wouldn't advise that. Between whatsapp, text messages, podcasts, photos, and social media caches, you're likely to use up a lot of that, which leaves very little space for downloading for offline viewing on Netflix and OS updates. If you're paying for iCloud, you might get away with it because Apple will automagically unload older photos and videos to free up space. I still wouldn't recommend it.

I am using iPad 9 64GB, mainly for web browsing, video streaming and cloud-based spreadsheets and docs.
My kids also use it for google classroom, zoom, Roblox, youtube, drawing stuff…
We don't have many games (manily Roblox and Minecraft) installed and do not have photos and video saved. It still has 30GB left….

Same here except I have the entire adobe suite on my iPad 64GB, some games and tons of school and prod apps. Still 20GB left. Don't feel like I'm stressing over space since I stream videos and music on it
