Steve Troughton-SmithThese new iPads Pro are clearly the best iPads ever made, and most powerful hardware in this form factor by a long shot.
Which is why it pains me that the most excitement I can drum up is an exasperated sigh
Michael Smith@stroughtonsmith The thing that is irritating me is the prices. The price of an iPad 10th generation didn't go down $50 (I know it did), the cost of an entry level iPad went up $100. Parents everywhere can cringe lol.
Ernesto Monasterio@atobsmith I’m not following your logic. The 9th gen iPad was $329. The 10th gen iPad was $449. The 10th gen iPad is now $349.
The price increase was $20. Unless you’re counting “sale” prices of the 9th gen iPad on 3rd party retailers. But we don’t know the new “sale” price of the 10th gen yet.
For all intent and purposes, the entry level price got a $20 bump, which isn’t much considering how much better the 10th gen iPad is.
@atobsmith I know, but my point is, we don’t know what the 10th gen will retail for when “on sale” from now on.
Also, that the 10th gen went from $449 to $349.
You can’t compare Apple retail prices to other retailers. The 10th gen iPad was already going for $349 “on sale” on certain stores.
