I would assume one would have to pack their patience as it probably won't get delivered until later than Apple's delivery date of 5/15.

9 to 6 Mac took a poll on these new iPads. most people voted NO on buying a new iPad.

So I think Apple still has an iPad sales issue with these updated iPads. my guess is the high price is turning most away.

You'd be surprised. I bought an M1 from Costco and it arrived before Apple was going to send me one. Apple generally takes care of their resellers first.

If you're buying directly from Apple they know they already have your money. They're more concerned keeping companies that purchase 10 tens of thousands of iPads from them happy. Apple can't fulfill all their one'sies and two'sies orders before they fulfill BestBuy's, Costco's, Amazon's, etc. Why would anyone want to be a reseller if that were the case?

It is not the price or the hardware, it is the software. As we have seen over and over a powerful iPad Pro with the current limited iPadOS doesn't allow you to get the most out of it. I am one of many holding on buying the new iPad until we get better iPadOS updates. Lets see what WWDC brings to the iPad, fingers crossed.

Kuo says there's a color Kindle coming this year. That's all I need is an e-reader, but I want it color display.

The images shown on the new iPads aren’t going to help sales.

I feel that a similar poll would show most people voting NO on buying a Porsche, but I believe Porsche still does okay!

In fact, the 9 to 5 poll (which I think is the one you're referring to) shows just under 41 percent said YES when asked 'Are you buying a new iPad?' (not WOULD you buy a new iPad but ARE you actually buying one), while just over 47 percent said 'no' (the rest were 'undecided')...which strikes me as a pretty good result if true.

The 11 inch Pro is basically almost $900 if you have the Prime credit card to factor in the 5% back.

Is there a decent trade in program at these other retailers? I’d love to be able to trade in the last Pro for this one.

 

[Anglagard]

Until WWDC and we actually find out what they have done to iPad OS to justify this power and prices, no one should buy these new iPad Pros.

 

[FrizzleFryBen]

It's actually a bit of a deceiving listing on Amazon - it really does read and appear as though the keyboard and pencil are included.

 

[GREEN4U]

^The way Amazon does bullet points for it makes it look like every other cheap Chinese knockoff product they sell.

Until WWDC and we actually find out what they have done to iPad OS to justify this power and prices, no one should buy these new iPad Pros.

They’re adding a local language model AI assistant that does all of its processing of your verbal requests locally without phoning home. Rumor of course until it’s official, but this is the only thing I’ve heard that would justify that M4 processor.

 

[DribbleCastle]

Does anyone know the details of Apple's price matching? I'll have to look that up when i get a chance. This might seal the deal one me sticking with 256GB Pro.

Maybe working 9-6 will give them the extra money needed to buy the new iPad.

Amazon correcting Apples pricing.
