$600 and I'm in. Patience is a virtue.

For the cheapest 12.9" model M2, of course.

These are before they ruined them with the stupid side camera. I can't stand the newest one and see no perceptible difference in screen quality or battery life (OLED). It feels like the battery life is actually shorter now. Definitely not worth the price hike.
Using face lock is now pointless because you are always covering the camera just by holding onto the ipad. Why did Apple listen to the 1% of people who actually use this thing for video chat more than any other use?? Or are they just copying Samsung (I honestly don't know). The camera at the top worked perfectly fine for the same thing. Just dumb. If they don't move the camera back to the top or add a second one at the top, I have purchased my last ipad.
Sorry for ranting, but I would recommend getting the one on sale here over the current model.
I upgraded to M4 specifically for the center camera since it's used with Magic Keyboard 100% of time. That makes Zoom call so much better. And OLED is pretty nice upgrade over mini led. I guess Apple listened to the customers and went with majority.

Not trying to be a jerk, just genuinely curious, if you use your iPad with the keyboard 100 percent of the time, why didn't you just buy a MacBook?

Hit for me . Bought one when they were 599 a few weeks ago. Looked brand new
Is there a trick to being able to find an open box in stock?

That's what Macbooks are for. Tablets are for holding. They didn't poll customers.
So you spent more money to build a custom laptop that has worse features than a laptop? Interesting.

They certainly don't innovate anymore.

As a fellow portrait iPad holder, I feared the same about the Face ID position change, but I usually hold the iPad with my left hand—both because I'm right-handed and that's the side that the folio covers fold up under—so it hasn't been an issue at all. Battery life is a bit shorter than my M1 iPad, but the drop in weight and thickness more than makes up for having to plug it in a day earlier.

This seems to be the norm price for the past couple months. Might be better to hold out a little bit or wait for better Open Box deals

Are you sure? I watched lots of movies at night on the older models and the blacks were blobby and gross. I assume OLED solves that.

Cellular connectivity, center stage, pencil support, and a shallower depth - the hinge point on the Magic Keyboard makes it easier to use in tight spaces (aircraft etc).

I can't tell you how many pdfs I've signed with an iPad. It's a lot.
