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.

Any idea how long this will last? I want to price match with Best Buy and pick it up in-store, but it's not available in the Best Buy store yet.
The nearest Costco to me is almost 2 hours drive.

Should I wait until it's available in-store and price match? or by the time it's available in store the deal would be gone?

Any thoughts?

No, they don't ... just order online and get it delivered or pick it up in store; nothing is verified.

Absolutely not
This is the half decade old 60hz screen.
Only noobs are getting these.

The problem is the 2022 Pro is $750 now. That's $180 more expensive than the iPad Air. Some folks don't think the 120Hz screen is worth that much extra. Yes, if $650 iPad Pro deal comes back, that's the one to get. But who's to say when or if that'll happen. Those iPads are being manufactured any more, so it's possible they'll just sell out.

If you need an iPad at some point you have to pull the trigger.

I have an option to buy 2022 new iPad Pro 12.9 for $899 or new iPad Pro for $1249 via education store. $350 nice chunk to save. I always am the person to splurge and get the latest but all the comments on the 6 gen pro just as good thinking of saving the cash. Any opinions?

All we need is a good Pro Calculator. According to rumors, It will have a MagSafe charging, and made out of 💯 recycled aluminum. It will go on sale for $79.99 and it will be shipped next week.

Need some opinions. I recently bought the 2022 Pro 11 for $650 from Costco recent deal. Should I return it in place for this? Put yourself in my position.

Check microcenter if you have one close to you. It's less there.

Best buy doesn't match Costco at least for me as Costco requires a paid annual membership

I need a replacement iPad. Had the 2022 pro which broke and got it replaced by warranty with a gift card. Do I rebuy the 2022 11" pro for $629 or the 2024 11" air for $570 or 2024 11" pro for $950? I already have gen 2 pencil.

When is the apple back to school sale in the US? I wonder if these new ipads will be exempt from getting the free headphones or whatever? They should throw in Airpods Max to clear the stockrooms and then release a USB C version Smilie

check pencil compatibility on the new devices. there is some mismatch in backwards compatibility.

gen 2 works with:
iPad Pro 12.9-inch (6th generation)
iPad Pro 12.9-inch (5th generation)
iPad Pro 12.9-inch (4th generation)
iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation)
iPad Pro 11-inch (4th generation)
iPad Pro 11-inch (3rd generation)
iPad Pro 11-inch (2nd generation)
iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation)
iPad Air (5th generation)
iPad Air (4th generation)
iPad mini (6th generation)

Why don't you wait another 10 years for an iPad M30 pro with integrated AI waifu?
Any truth to Chase cashing out reward points for customers(at the increased value going on currently for Apple items) that feel less than comfortable purchasing from their knockoff Apple Store? Something about horrible service, numerous(alleged) ignored customer complaints..

Even an M1 Ipad gives you more power than the OS or any App running on it needs. Upgrading makes little sense.

Keep it, until they let iPadOS install whatever you want it'll be fine until they release iPad m25
