A reasonable price for a reasonable iPad. It is likely to be on clearance, but it is not categorised as such on the website.

I cannot find any stock listed in any stores according to their website, but C&C is still an option, which is especially good if you don't want to pay the $5.95 regional delivery fee.

Available models:

As a side note, I find it bizarre that Officeworks charges $5.95 to deliver an item to Canberra, yet sending it to Hobart is free. Since when was Canberra regional and Hobart not…?

    Wouldn't the iPad(2019) be a better buy at this point? 10.2 inch screen, but 2 years newer. Both support the Apple Pencil 1st Gen. 32gb model for $529, or 128gb model for $689.

      It's only got A10 vs much quicker A10X in the Pro. On top of that the Pro has nicer display, camera, speakers, etc. Definitely worth it for $649 vs $529

      I am thinking the same thing. Wonder if this being 2 year older one day will stop receiving updates first compared to the 2019 iPad.

      • maburu1 on 12/10/2019 - 07:33
        +4

        That’s not how it works with Apple. Devices only stop getting updates when they don't have the capability to. This being a more recent iteration of the A series processors than the iPad 2019 means at worst they'll both stop receiving updates at the same time (which will be no less than 3 or 4 years from now).

        • peuwayaqdq on 12/10/2019 - 07:46

          Thanks for the info.

          So this is definitely better buy than the 2019 iPad?

            @peuwayaqdq: Well, that depends on your usage. The regular iPad has closed the edge on some of the iPad Pro 2017 features. You're getting a similar sized screen, both Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard compatibilities, and a decent processor, but none of the specs are better. What you get more out of the iPad Pro 2017 is a better screen (fully laminated screen, 120Hz frequency, Wide colour display, true tone and HDR compatibility), thinner device, 4 speakers, more powerful processor and GPU units, and better front and rear cameras.

        • cerealJay on 12/10/2019 - 15:46

          That's not how it works either. Apple could keep updating older iPads if they wanted to, but they choose not to so people rush out and buy a new one. It has nothing to do with capability of the hardware.

          • maburu1 on 12/10/2019 - 16:43

            @cerealJay: Then explain why the iPad Air 2 (a 2014 device) is still receiving updates, and will continue to do so for at least another year?

            • cerealJay on 12/10/2019 - 19:07
              -8

              @maburu1: Because the iPad Air 2 was discontinued only 2 years ago, and Apple will sometimes wait around 3 years before ending software support. Like they did with the original iPad Air, which has its support ended just 2 weeks ago. The iPad Air is now a paperweight according to Apple, because Apple denies you both OS ipdates and web browser updates. Apple does say YES to you spending more money on a fresh iPad. They are waiting for you. Go to them.

              Any more questions?

              • maburu1 on 12/10/2019 - 19:46
                +1

                @cerealJay: Well, iPad Air support was dropped because it has 1GB of RAM, while iOS 13 requires a minimum 2GB of RAM. The iPad Air enjoyed 6 years of support, which sounds plenty to me. It is also far from a paperweight, as it runs on iOS 12.4.2, which was only released a couple of weeks ago.

                  @maburu1: Yeah hardly a paperweight. Sure you won’t get feature OS updates nor updates for core apps like safari. You might lose support interns of being able to update to latest version of popular apps as developers target newer iOS versions but the old legacy version of the app should function for some time. Eventually apps will lose support, stop working and the browser won’t be compatible with newer modern websites but this won’t happen for years after you lose OS updates. Usually the hardware fails before the device becomes completely unusable. It’s the same for both Android and iOS.

                    Where's your data to support that claim? My data is two iOS device paperweights in my possession. No longer supported by Apple, but still functioning perfectly fine.

                    but this won’t happen for years

                    But it happens. And it might happen when you're not ready to buy more iOS e-waste, but would rather keeping using the one you have. I'm not talking about new apps, I'm talking about a web browser that receives security updates and engine updates. Apple coupled the browser to the OS for a reason. They don't want anyone else making browsers, and they don't want anyone using old iOS devices.

                  @maburu1:

                  Well, iPad Air support was dropped because…

                  I'll stop you right there. iPad Air support was dropped because the "obsolete" alarm clock went off, like it has for ALL previous models.

                  It's amusing how you're trying to make out like Apple would keep supporting these old devices if they possibly could. When a computer doesn't have enough RAM for an application, it will swap to virtual memory, and your device will run slower. Other mechanisms could be employed to prevent RAM limitations. Some features could be disabled, or not available. But instead, Apple turns their backs on the billions of hardware devices they make and spread around. Still, they will claim to be "e-friendly" and the packaging in your new iPad uses recycled cardboard, whoo hooo!

    But I guess technically this should come with 12 + another 12 months of warranty (due to our laws).

    The hardware design is flawed, the connector internally pushes up on the screen and causes the white spot, eventually. Happens more if you put it in a backpack or a travel bag.

    • nivurek on 12/10/2019 - 11:49

      All the generations of iPad Pro support it, however, the newer Apple Pencil 2 is made exclusively for the 2018 iPad, where as the Apple Pencil 1 is made for the iPad Pro 2016/2017. There are no differences in the inking and feel of the two Apple Pencils. The only differences between them two is that Apple Pencil 2 has wireless charging, can be magnetically attached to the iPad itself, and has a touch interface on the surface of the pen.

    Just recently got the 64 GB iPad Air 3 (2019 version) as it was a good price on a 20% off eBay special from wireless1. Price was about $660 after discount and cashback. I had originally tried to find one of these older pro models as an option, but even refurb models were closer to the $900 mark when I was looking. The one I got also came with the one year free Apple plus streaming service, which is worth about $70 or so to those who might want it. I don't particularly care about taking photos with it or using the inbuilt speakers (I use headphones generally), so the only thing that I might miss is the superior display refresh rate. But in my mind having even a slightly better processor is more important than a faster display for my purposes, so overall I'm happy with what I got.
