The iPads go on sale pretty frequently from all retailers. I would not recommend buying one from Apple unless it’s within a few weeks of release. Best Buy has them for $100 off every few weeks.

Most recent Apple Pencil basically stays permanently affixed to my 12.9” Pro in its intended spot without any problems FWIW. I use it maybe 30% of the time I’m using the tanker (trying to use the pencil more) but it’s not really a hassle if it comes off in my backpack because I can just reattach it. Definitely a substantial upgrade over the first version and both add basically the only stylus I’ve ever felt are worth using. If it’s a regular input device, you’ll be in a really good place. If you’re storing it in a drawer for weeks at a time, why did you buy it in the first place?

The case I’ve got on my iPad has a slot for magnetic charging, but it’s also got a stretchy fabric slot for it on the back that holds it much more securely. I keep the pencil on the magnetic slot the vast majority of the time, but if I’m worried about it getting jostled around it’s nice to have the more secure option.

If I remember our recent interaction about Honest Hearts correctly, you’re Canadian and people are giving you American answers. Payment plans are available through Affirm: https://www.apple.com/ca/shop/browse/financing

Though I don't think that's true anymore.)

ipads already make instagram look like rear end so there's no reason for them to put effort into an ipad specific app that will also look like rear end. They've already accomplished assitude!

Does the announcement of a new iPad usually entail a price drop for the previous gen? I'm likely gonna just wait until the event to see what the best purchase for me is, but at the same time sites mostly just seem to predict a more expensive Oled model that I'd probably pass on. But if it means I can save a few hundred on a current model it's definitely worth waiting imo. Also I'm planning on getting it from Costco so I guess if I totally screw myself I could just return it. Just want to get this project started Asap, so waiting two weeks kind of sucks but it does seem like a very dumb moment to buy an iPad

I swear every time I decide to buy a new apple product it coincidentally lines up with a new model on the horizon ugh.

The macrumors site has done me pretty good over the years on that front: https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/ Not that it helps you on the timing front, but at least you can get an idea if its in a state of yes buy now, or no wait a few weeks. veni veni veni posted:Does the announcement of a new iPad usually entail a price drop for the previous gen? I think other retailers generally start to drop prices on last years iDevices they have a glut of, but I believe generally apple entirely delists them from sale. You'd probably be able to find them in the refrub area but won't have your pick of options. So for sure someone will have it on sale, how much and is it the model you want, will be an entirely different question. Rawrbomb fucked around with this message at 20:05 on Apr 26, 2024 |

veni veni veni posted:Does the announcement of a new iPad usually entail a price drop for the previous gen? the thing is, specifically absolutely for you, it's worth waiting. you want a large 11" or so ipad for drawing, which has traditionally meant the top end pro, which is laptop levels of expensive. one of the rumoured new models that's going to be introduced is a similarly sized, drawing-capable ipad AIR, which should (would, but Apple can always do an Apple) be cheaper than even the last gen pros getting discounted. unless you see a ipad pro on apple refurb or like on woot or something, WITH warranty, then don't jump until after the event. also, a reminder that if you buy an apple pencil and/or apple keyboard (NOT a third party kind of either, even if it's sold through apple) at the same time as you buy your ipad, it's covered under applecare.
