Still holding off on an M1 iPad for WWDC. I bought too many iPad Pro’s on the hope of future software upgrades, of course this will probably be the year that they actually do something useful with the hardware.

My iPad Pro 11“ is my favorite computer, I just hate that I can’t use it for everything - sometimes I need to plug into a monitor and have more usable screen real estate. And I need a native Terminal app, that is a long time coming.

Compared to $950 for an M1 MBA? (I actually bought one on AMZ, new, for $900 yesterday.) I think the iPads Pros are getting expensive, myself. I mean, you don't even have a real keyboard, and i/o is very limited. Not to mention an 11" screen vs 13". Just sayin'.

I'm being tempted but think I will stay put with the 2018 until next year and the 11" with the new screen, I want the screen.

This is the right way. Use your tech til it is useless. And when it is time, recycle. Don’t let it collect dust. We are accumulating so much tech waste. And more tech means more mining on the African continent, a brutal job that depends on child labor.

I bought an iPad Air in January. However, if they bring Xcode and/or Logic Pro to the Pro I will seriously consider a 12.9 Pro. Yeah, a desktop would serve me, but I really love my iPad as a mobile work machine. It all really hinges on WWDC this year.

Where do people come up with this stuff? Empty box? A "counterfeit" iPad from Amazon? Education discounts that don't exist for those of us that haven't gone to school in 25 years?

I buy [certain products] regularly from Amazon and have for a very long time. If you haven't been screwed over from them buying electronics or name brand, count yourself lucky. It doesn't take much googling to see what a scam Amazon is for certain products, mostly prominent expensive electronics. I would absolutely never buy anything "Apple" off of Amazon. Go to Target, Best Buy, or the Apple Store.

You can go to Amazon right now and look for Apple's Magic Keyboard (the wireless bluetooth, without numberpad). Amazon has it marked $89 vs $99 from the Apple Store. But even the screenshot of it reveals that's not the genuine product, that's how sloppy their scamming is.

Note: it's not Amazon itself directly running these scams. But it is their policy of not enforcing merchants to be authentic that is the problem.

The policy is pretty broad. If you or any family member is in school or works in education, it counts. So really the only time it isn't applicable is when you're old enough to be out of school but don't yet have kids or grandkids (or siblings, nieces, nephews, etc in school). For the majority of most people's lives, the education discount is applicable.

Taken from Apple’s website: “Available to current and newly accepted college students and their parents, as well as faculty, staff, and homeschool teachers of all grade levels.” Far more limited than you’re making it out to be. But hey, to each their own.

I'll never understand this "discount." That's the same price as straight from Apple if you use their education pricing. And you don't have to risk getting an empty box or counterfeit.

I'll never understand anyone posting about a problem buying from Amazon? Any product sold marked "sold by Amazon" is direct from them, it has NEVER been conterfit and Amazon has and will always back up the product that arrives to you. I've purchased countless Apple products from Amazon including a month ago the 2020 iPad Pro 128 Wifi (for $699, should have held out for this at $749) and it arrived free shipping next day perfect as can be.

It literally applies to any student of any grade level and to their parents, and to anyone working in education. I read that as if you're buying the device for anyone matching that condition, or if you yourself match that condition and are buying it for anyone else, it's legit. I suppose you're right that if you're a non-educator grandparent or uncle buying it for yourself, it wouldn't technically count.

that again is incorrect. it applies ONLY to current COLLEGE students, incoming college students, and teachers of ANY grade level. If you are a family with a student in grade school or high school the discount does NOT apply.
