Curious what your thoughts are?

If I could buy a 2nd gen 12.9 pro 256gb for $550 sealed, get it or wait for the new one is Sept?

Reasons why?

Thanks!

The current 12.9" iPad Pro purchased directly from Apple is $949 (Wi-Fi Only) or $1,079 (Wi-Fi + Cellular). Don't get caught up in the specs game from model to model and focus on whether or not the model you're considering will be sufficient for your needs. If it is then get the one you referenced and save yourself a minimum of $400. That's my recommendation.

Buy it, DO NOT PASS GO! Go directly to the store! lol That's an insane price. If you don't want it, pass it on to me!

I would use the do I need it now model. If you need one now then get it, there will always be something better coming.

If you don't need it, but want one, then wait ?????? and if you get one for that price you could always resell it for a profit and get the new one. ??????

Rumor has it (and we should find out Wednesday! lol), that new iPads with thinner bezels are coming. As a result we may see some great prices on the previous generation models. IF the latest and greatest, and reportedly thinner bezels are important to you, then wait for sure, new models are coming VERY soon. HOWEVER now is the perfect time to find a deal, in our Market Place, on any auction site (Ebay for example), and on Swappa. Heck you may even find good deals at big box retailers such as Best Buy and Walmart!
