Who is picking up a new iPad

[ladyc0524]

I'm trying to convince my sister to get it. She's still using the awfully slow iPad 2 that I passed down to her years ago*

My sister is still using her gen 1 mini. She's frugile to the max so she will suffer with slow performance as long as it runs to not spend money.

Ditched my gen 1 Mini for the Air 2 a few weeks back and like it a lot! Retina, Touch ID, and the larger screen are nice (weight is better than the full size iPad was when I got the Mini)

Who's picking one up or do you feel Apple should have just stayed with the Pro?

Still using my IPad Air and it works great so why switch

It's a bit of a waiting game for me. We are gunna need some heavy duty hardware updates for me to upgrade from my air 2.

I thought the same thing, but I thought of it like this: if I could buy another year of my long expired warranty, would I? Would I also pay to get my Air refreshed with a brand new body, screen and battery, upgraded CPU and camera, and add Touch ID?

When I traded in my Air at Best Buy, I only had to come out of pocket $179 (plus tax) for the 2017 iPad. Basically a brand new and upgraded Air, with a fresh year warranty. And I'm so glad I did.

I had a two year-old iPad Mini, so I figured the new 7.9 was a good upgrade for the price. Way faster and smoother!

Big time! I went from Mini to Air 2 and it's a big difference.

To be honest, after 3 years with my Samsung Galaxy Tab S I thought at first to get the new Tab S3, but after seeing the price I decided that there is no tablet right now that worth for me $599, for my usage, no. So I had decided to just keep using the Tab S that it still has good battery and all, then looking for something else I ended up on the Apple's iPad site and saw that there is one named just iPad and for my surprise just $329 and I knew that I have found my Tab S replacement.

A lot sweeter after finding one on Swappa, New for just $280, so that's what I got. So far the perfect combination with my Galaxy S8+, so now I can still use iMessage and Find My friends with my Daughters.

I bought one right after it was released and love it so far. Now I need to find a case that protects it without adding too much bulk!

I'm still using my nexus 9 tablet but have been seriously considering replacing it with the 2017 iPad. I really only use the tablet for streaming sling and YouTube or mlb at bat in my bedroom so I don't need anything particularly powerful.
