Imo based on past deals, 500 is iPad pro deal price, iPad air are around 400 or less
$550 for iPad pro at AAFES is the all time best price I think. $400 for iPad Air.

Fanatic that it's $50 lower than Edu price. The only draw back is we cannot do trade in if the old iPad. Damn
Same here.. I would've traded my iPad Air 4 and jumped on this

Excellent deal on the 128GB option…BF probably will have probably have slightly lower price on the 64GB but I don't see the 128GB option getting much lower than this. IIRC last year's BF deal was $450/$480 for the M1 64GB version.
The iPad Air M2 does not come in 64 GB.. the base model starts at 128 GB on the most recent generation of the IPad Air M2

Damn…you're right, I totally missed that…that changes thing then, BF probably will see it drop down to $450/$480.

No, it's only compatible with the Apple Pencil USB-C and Pro. Of course USB-C doesn't wireless charge so a non-starter to me. The Pro is worth the extra $ and I've seen it posted recently for $99.

Probably will be available off and on beyond the holiday season, but definitely during. The Air is always on sale somewhere Nov-Dec.

I'm an apple fanboy no doubt but I will argue that the majority of people buying Airs will not be needing 120Hz screens.

Same as their MacBook line. Same as their iPhone line.

Consumers are better off with lower prices and increased battery life. My $0.02.

120hz screens are better for gaming especially 60 fps.

Assuming here that majority like to play some CoD or similar here.
Also for sporting events.

A17 Pro is a little faster in single-core, but M2 is faster in multi-core and much faster in Metal (GPU). Both have the same amount of RAM, 8 GB.
Thanks!
So no straight winner, both chips and models have trade offs. Just want to get this as a gift, and make sure it's performant for a long time.

Did you just say 120hz screens are better for 60 fps games? lol

I'm a gamer too. I think any enthusiast is buying an actual console over an iPad. Even then, 120hz is just starting to become more prevalent in gaming and most console gamers are still playing at 60hz.

I've been mindbroken so hard from missing out on the previous target m2 iPad Pro deal I can no longer take these iPad Air deals seriously
+1. Waiting for iPad Pro so that I can have "pro" feature like 120 hz.

Virtually no difference in performance between last gen and this gen except for price unless you telling me you run photoshop, final cut pro and Lightroom while shooting a 4k video on your iPad pro ?

in fact I'll go as far back as m1 iPad pros are good
There is a difference but is it worth the $900 more - trade in? idk. Everyone has a diff value system and it's not just $$ to me. ( I mean the m4 here but most apps people won't notice a huge diff)

No, I don't run photoshop or anything heavy on my m4. I just run a very fast youtube and netflix on a very bright screen with great colors and deep black Smilie LOL!

I gave my kids Air M2 so they can run apple intelligence on it when it's released. They'll make good use of it I'm certain.
