iPad Air Is the iPad Air M2 (discounted) still a good purchase?

[eyalben]

Hi All,

I'm thinking of upgrading my current iPad Air 11" 4 from 2020 with A14 chip (I need the bigger screen for music notes)
I've got a deal to purchase the "iPad Air 13" M2 with 512GB + Cellular" for 1150 USD

I can add less than 100$ more to get the M3 but with the 128GB - which I don't care at all (128GB is enough).


* Is the M3 upgrade worth it?
* Are there rumors for a new iPad Air soon? maybe with 120Hz?

Read some complaints about M2 battery, not sure how widespread. Maybe wait a bit for Ocotber launch.

You're paying more than retail?

Prices includes the 17% VAT (sales tax) in my country, sorry about the confusion

I’ve had an M2 iPad Air for a little over a year and the thing constantly overheats.
