If you get 7 years out of a 300 tablet that's pretty good IMO anyway.

Weird. I have an iPad Air 2 that came out in 2014. It still works just fine.

What is the optimal price/strategy for these? Just paying $299 flat out doesn't seem very "SLICK."

I did trade it in to best buy. I decided to switch from samsung/android to apple and traded in my watch and tablet for an ipad and ended up spending $40.
I tried to trade in the GW7 for 100 bucks when I got to the store they said I couldn't do it since they only had the GW6 and under in the system. I don't know what's wrong with BB, the trade in system is pretty bad.

Upgraded my mother to this model from her iPad Air 3. It's fantastic, and works very well for a base model iPad. I was able to only pay like $130 altogether after selling her old iPad + accessories.

I just returned one, the battery was bad and yes 3gb of ram can't hold up today.

I have a S9 Fe that I want to see makes sense to get the ipad instead.

Quote from BlueRaccoon1085 :
Yeah, you bought yours at a better time. My iPad 4 update support ended in September 2017 because apps started requiring a iOS version that only supports later models. Mine did not have the required hardware for any future updates. I could still download many new apps until 2019. Stupid how we cannot download older versions of apps on the Apple Store but only those you already have downloaded. Expect yours to eventually suffer the same fate.

AI Overview:
Yes, updates for the iPad 4th generation were discontinued by Apple in September 2017. The final iOS versions for this model were iOS 10.3.3 (for Wi-Fi only models) and iOS 10.3.4 (for Wi-Fi & Cellular models). It cannot be updated to later versions of iOS due to hardware limitations and the fact that it is based on a 32-bit platform, which is now considered obsolete.
Elaboration:
  • Final Updates:
Apple stopped supporting the iPad 4 with new software updates in September 2017.
  • Hardware Limitations:
The iPad 4 is not capable of running the latest versions of iOS/iPadOS because it lacks the required hardware and is based on an older 32-bit architecture.
  • App Compatibility:
Many app developers have also dropped support for older devices, including the iPad 4, leading to limitations in accessing newer apps.
  • No More Updates:
You cannot update your iPad 4 to iOS 16, 17, 18, or any future versions.

AI Overview:
Apple typically supports iPads with major software updates for around 5-7 years, and may continue to provide security updates for an additional 2-3 years. This means you can expect your iPad to receive regular updates to the latest operating system for several years, and potentially even longer for security patches.
More Details:
  • Major Software Updates:
    iPads usually receive updates to the main iOS/iPadOS versions, which include new features and performance improvements, for a period of 5-7 years.
  • Security Updates:
    Apple also provides security updates, which address vulnerabilities and potential threats, for a longer period, potentially 10 years or more.
  • Third-Party App Support:
    While Apple may stop supporting the latest OS for an older iPad, third-party app developers may still support these devices with their apps for an additional 2-3 years.
  • Example:
    An iPad Air (4th generation) released in 2020 would have been supported with major updates until around 2027, and may continue to receive security updates for a few more years after that.
I'm not real…

iPad from 2014 can' be running that well. My 2018 iPad Pro is already slow trying to run YouTube and has delays as I scroll the videos once in a while. (on IOS 26 beta).

I don't think I can stand using it as a "full iPad". Just playing YouTube is passable.

50% premium for a cell antenna is absurd. For that premium, it should include 1gb/mo data for the life of the device.

That seems like the real deal. This is very mediocre in comparison.
