A slight pre-order discount for the new iPad Air models for existing Costco members. I believe that there's $5 shipping for each order.

iPad Air 11-inch, Wi-Fi (M2 chip) - $569.99

It's cheaper if you just go to the education store on Apple.com. They don't require verification at all.
Pro 100%. Once you go 120mhz, 60Hz is jarring and you're not saving much. You paid good money, enjoy it as in the end, most of us using it to watch Netflix, surf, and play games. Lol


Unless you're the 0.5% who actually do real video work.
128gb as the base model. Apple is finally turning the corner.

Is this worth upgrading over the 2018 Pro?

Generally speaking, no unless you are doing heavy video editing on it (which I assume no one does).

$999 to watch Netflix, surf and play games is ridiculous.

Why this deal instead of buying Apple gift cards or other gift cards from Target at 5% or more off when they have deals?

It's a want, they got it because they want it. It's not a need. Does anyone really care how people spend their money?

I don't drink coffee, but I heard coffee goes for 4+ dollars or more from Starbucks. Water is free, but if people want Starbucks coffee, I don't care.

So at 5 bucks a cup of coffee, an iPad Air could be paid for by skipping 154 coffees. Even faster if someone gave up alcohol.

It's not a necessity, but if you want it get it. However if your iPad works fine then you aren't missing anything.

I try to frame it like, what would I give up to get a new one? Would I cancel streaming (or give up my car for 2 months) for 6 months? If no, then I probably won't upgrade.

Who is caring what others spend their money on? You're assuming I do, and I don't.

They do require verification

Since when? As of 2 years ago and decades leading up to that point, Apple required no verification because they expect family members will purchase for students, etc.

Or you like me and I just take your word for it when you say one screen is better than another as I lower my YouTube video quality so it'll download 15 seconds faster...
