Buy used iPad Pro 4th Gen for $1000 or new 5th Gen for $1509?

Just wondering in terms of value, is it better to buy used ipad pro 4th gen 2020 for $1000 or wait for the new one for $500 more (with edu email).

I think in 1 month's time, the 4th gen ipad can be obtained for $1000.

If you are curious, I'm after the 128gb wifi 12.9 version.

    Go the new one as it’s better value for money since it’s gonna last a lot longer than the current iPad Pro (due to it having the M1 chip).

  • I’d shell the coin, will hold better value, Apple silicon.

  • Buy both and report back on which provides you the most value?

      Better buy 1st, 2nd and 3rd Gen as well to get the complete picture

  • You don’t need a edu email. Get the new one though, the 2020 is hardly any difference than the 2018.

    Where can you get it for $1k?

    • Ebay, Gumtree, a bit hopeful tbh.

      Edu email gets 140 off. I just need to find someone with one.

      So you reckon the 2021 version is a leap ahead?

      I don't need it for anything serious really, just browsing, watching Netflix, etc. I just need the big size.

      • You don’t need a edu email to buy off Apple education store.
        The new screen will be awesome for that I reckon, biggest change for awhile.

        • Thanks

          • @Frankensnore: If you know someone with a good guys commercial account the 2020 12.9" 256gb is $1507.
            $300 off.
