I'd wait for the next model, except my iPad Air 4th Gen. died yesterday and the Apple repair bill would have been over $400 and the local Apple Authorized place said "that sounds about right" when I asked them for an estimate.
 
the cellular model is 78 bucks more, which is still a fantastic deal for these that needs it, however for moi, after using ipads for the past 8 years, i haven't used the cellular function once lol
It’s the opposite for me. Our wi-fi at the office doesn’t work well with Parallels Access (which I use to access my Mac at home), so I frequently use cellular.

4th gen iPad 11 Pro is $400. Surely there is something going on? I bought one of those and a 64gb purple Air. With PayPal, what’s there to lose?

Just called Best Buy and they refused to match the price explaining this deal is offered by a 3rd party reseller (not directly sold by Tiger Direct).

Tiger Direct. Now that's a name I haven't seen in almost 2 decades. They used to be notorious back in the day for mispricing items and canceling orders.

Hmm, I tried to price match with Best Buy and they said they received an email from Tiger Direct telling them that this price is not valid, because it's being sold by a third party retailer. However when I look at the Tiger Direct website there is no indication of a 3rd party seller. Something weird is going on.

Was just at the Best Buy in Southfield, MI. I tried to PM and pick one up these up today since TigerDirect is listed on Best Buy's price match guarantee page.

Manager Mike refused the PM and stating the reason as Tiger Direct has been hacked. I asked him if he knew that for sure since that is big and serious news to spread. He would not tell me how they know, but was willing to say it has been confirmed by Best Buy senior management.
Manager Mike sure can tell some tall tales.
 
These will almost certainly be cancelled orders. Major price mistakes across the board on Apple products.

The M2 11" iPad Pro is only $455 with 256 GB storage. A 16GB, 256 GB SSD, M2 MBA was available for $758. There's no way these are legitimate prices.

I ordered a 256gb silver M2 iPad Pro for under $500 after tax and shipping. probably too good to be true, but it’s not like it was $25 or something.

Great deal. I don't think I've ever seen such a bargain on a cellular model. Makes you wonder what is up Apple's sleeve for spring.
Pushing out the 64GB Air models at low prices suggests that we will see a M2 model with 128GB minimum. 64 GB is not enough for Stage Manager.
 
Placed an order for an M1 iPad Air ($313.99), but even the M2 iPad Pro price looks too good to be true ($403.99 versus MSRP of $799).

Everyone’s orders will most probably get canceled.

Ordered a purple one. Kids iPad needs replaced anyways and we had been looking. It is going to be in a case anyways so who cares what color it is. Thanks MacRumors! 🤘

edit: the regular 10th Gen iPad is $224. Shoulda gone with that deal, haha. M1 chip for $300 is a killer deal though so I’ll let it ride. 🤞

Best Buy wouldn't price match over the phone either. Anyone try going in to a store?

If you look at the deal via their app, it says they’re refurbs. They’re also selling Pros at 49 percent off.
