It has that awful protruding camera wart on the back. I can deal with it on an iPhone because I actually use it to take photos and because the cases work around it, but it's pointless on an iPad.

Tbh, M1 Ipad Pro 128gb for $600 is the sweet spot. Apple also has them refurb for $640 usually. 3% back on Apple Card gets you right around that mark. Smaller bezels, faceid and of course that ProMotion display.

While I agree that for most of us, there's no need for the highest-quality camera in the iPad. However, I do think there is a benefit to the camera bump itself — it results in iPad cases that are more robust, as the manufacturers strive to accommodate the bump.

I appreciate the thinness/lightness of the products, and have mixed feelings about the "more robust," larger cases. I tolerate the fully wrapped cases on a phone, because I usually keep my phone in my pocket, and it's going to get dropped every so often. I have one of the magnetic flip covers on my 8th-gen iPad (and my iPad mini 2), which only cover the screen, and those are perfect for those applications, but I've not really seen them for the wart-afflicted iPads. Do they even still have the side magnets for that type of cover?
