These iPad's will be around $399 once the new ipads launch. I'll Just say wait it out at this point. Useless it's an emergency, but just return the iPad and get the new one once they launch it.

These iPad's will be around $400 once the new ipads launch.

100% - I got my last-gen iPad Air for $399 when they launched this model. Plus, this has been on sale for $450 recently, so $499 isn't much of a deal at all

64 gb fail (and Apple autocorrect of gb to go FAIL)

I can get by with 64GB easily. Not so much with iPhone though.

Waiting for the flood of these to hit he refurbished store and get them for cheap.

They have to catch those new buyers who do not realize the bigger drop coming after new release.

 

[Incision]

I need those 10th gen regular iPads to go back on sale.

Then again the dream is that they just ditch the 9th gen, lower the price of the 10th. Won't happen but I can dream.

Just wait, they'll be 299 again for black friday/xmas at Walmart.

The M1 is still a plenty powerful chip, but is it wise to buy an Apple device with what is now a 3.5 year old chip in it?

Good price. But definitely better to wait for two more weeks to see what Apple is launching. The existing models may also become cheaper after the launch of new ones.

It’s what I’ll be doing for refurbished once the next Air and Pros come out. Plenty of headroom on the CPU, but, perhaps more importantly, a lot of RAM.

iPad Air Starlight $399 is the deal of the day at Best Buy and Amazon has matched it. I know the 6th gens are right around the corner but I jumped on this deal.
