    The iPad mini also $100 off. Still cheaper if you buy Apple gift cards from woolies and use the education discount.

    • razzy on 14/01/2023 - 19:18

      Just to be sure I've got this right - gift cards from Woolies give me Woolies rewards points to be used in their stores, and not cash discount I can use at Apple?

      • b3au on 14/01/2023 - 19:20

        Correct

        (or points to be transferred to Qantas Points)

        • razzy on 14/01/2023 - 19:21

          That's a bit of a not-really-discounted discount (for me, specifically). I shop at Aldi and Woolies rewards points (or Qantas) means I don't save any cash in hand.

      • Reginald7711 on 14/01/2023 - 23:40

        iPad apps generally have larger graphics assets and therefor larger app sizes due to the larger display and more pixels

    • netsurfer on 14/01/2023 - 20:43

      This iPad support USB-C hub/dongle. Get a USB-C dongle which has USB 3 ports and USB card reader. Or, just connect it to a USB 3.2 gen 2 enclosure (up to 1000MB/s read, 1000MB/s write).

      It’s not only a joke. It’s a blatant upsell by apple.

      Hell. I can go get a 64gb sd card for 20$ or less and apple want to charge you out of the arse for the 128gb upgrade. So stupid and what has turned me off from pulling the trigger on an iPad

      I do use mostly apple products, but for the tablet category if I were to purchase, it would have to be a non-apple table due to their upsell ladder centered around giving users 64gb base models in 2023

    • entropysbane on 15/01/2023 - 06:55
      +3

      It’s doable, but pretty sure the 64Gb in there is to make you be unsold to 256GB, and then think about buying an IPP.

      These would be a fantastic, good value machine except for that storage limitation. My daughter went the upsell to 256GB. An engineering student, I am amazed at the ways she uses hers.

      That bit of corporate bean counting isn’t enough to buy a non iPad tablet though. Unless you are just using it to just view content, in comparison it’s a barren land for decent apps elsewhere. If you really need a tablet, it’s an iPad really.

      • sal78 on 15/01/2023 - 09:26

        It's a must for university students. Girls love the aesthetic options but it's useful for all students.

        I want my kids to start using it as a study tool now in senior highschool.

        We had so many iPads before but sold them all and now left with one that my hubby cannot part with. He uses his for ios gaming apps and watching shows.

        How I wished I still had old iPads lying around. You don't need the latest model really. Just need to clean it up, put a new cover, paper like screen protector, apple pencil/stylus and good notes/ noteability apps.

    They've just decided to finally make macbooks touchscreen. This will canabalize iPads and they've always known that. Somehow they've decided to let rip so will explain iPad sales especially low storage ones because of course they don't put SD card slots in for the same reason.

    • superroach on 14/01/2023 - 20:23

      It won't make much of a difference - still very different in form factor.

      • pinkybrain on 14/01/2023 - 21:07

        Steve jobs was not a fan of touchscreen on a macbook

        He is right about "arm fatigue" which would be a big factor on a macbook vs an ipad

    • netsurfer on 14/01/2023 - 21:05

      If people actually ended up buying Macbooks with touchscreen instead, that will be more money for Apple.

      Even if that new product line affects iPad Pro sales, Apple would be fine with that. Just think of it as iPad Pro running Mac OS… then you will realise… hold on, isn't it what something some people have been asking for years?

      they don't put SD card slots in for the same reason

      That's the really old way of thinking. This iPad Air supports USB-C/alt-mode DP 1.4 so it supports external SSDs and you can still connect it to a 4K display at the same time. iPad Pro supports Thunderbolt / USB 4.

      Using an USB-C with a card reader + USB 3 ports + HDMI output, you CAN use a SD card + a SSD.

      • pinkybrain on 14/01/2023 - 21:27

        MacOS is not by design a touch friendly OS
        not to mention arm fatigue of touching the laptop screen vs a ipad due to form factor
        You also need to intentionally move your hand away from the mouse or keyboard or trackpad just to touch something on the screen.

        Don't think people are gonna do that alot.

        as Steve jobs said here

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TcJ45Y2z30

          The leak says Apple appears to be working on it. It doesn't have to replace every iPad. We are seeing iPad Air/Pro with a keyboard + trackpad. I don't see Apple's original intention is to "replace" iPad Pros.

          Steve Job also said nobody would buy an phone with a screen bigger than 3.5 inch. Furthermore, Apple Pencil is already something Steve Job said no to. The Macbook Pro 14/16 notch, that, to me, once again, shows Apple has turned away from must adhere to best UX at all times.

          I see this as more:

          • Since Apple's competitor(s) is/are doing that (and I am not talking about just PC laptops), Apple might want to look at it as well. Apple is good at refining other people's features / ideas.
          • Apple running out of ideas for future gen laptops.

          Some people have forgotten what happened the first time when Steve Job was at Apple and Apple nearly went bankrupt. The lesson Apple learned was not to withhold features on certain product lines to keep an existing product line alive. iPods used to be Apple's bread and butter. iPhone SE 2 and 3 both used CPUs better than some of Apple's other iPhones at the time. Would Samsung put Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in Samsung A75?

          I am a bit worried for PC and Android. Apple is shrewd. It does seem odd (for now) Apple is willing to consider touchscreen on Macbooks, but after Apple Pencil, honestly, it is no longer too far stretched (though, these Apple leaks aren't as accurate as before).

          • pinkybrain on 15/01/2023 - 00:09

            @netsurfer: yeah i read about the leak about the touchscreen on MacOS news

            Steve did say alot of stuff that are both good and bad predictions of future popularity and trends.. so you need to look at each critically.
            I think the arm fatigue is right though.
            You can test it with your own monitor or laptop (even if you don't have touchscreen).

            Most laptops are placed on a desk or lap.
            People's hands on usually rested on the keyboard and mouse/trackpad.
            It takes more intentional effort to move the hands to the laptop screen just to touch some object on the screen compared to just quickly moving your mouse etc.
            The screen also has no hand supporting it (unlike ipad), so touching it requires a bit more pressure etc..

            The amount of touchscreen usage would be less if much at all than on an ipad or phone.

            There are also people who have bought windows laptops with touchscreen and they also said they hardly ever used it.

            I see this as more:
            Since Apple's competitor(s) is/are doing that (and I am not talking about just PC laptops), Apple might want to look at it as well. Apple is good at refining other people's features / ideas.

            They are not always that good at refining ideas or features.
            Some stuff they will or will not add into their OS or hardware is just plain dumb just cos it is not the Apple way.
            E.g.
            https://youtu.be/JUhNDjrvqvI?t=203

            • look at the bad reviews of the 10 gen ipad etc..

            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6Ni9rH6VmA
            https://youtu.be/JUhNDjrvqvI

            Apple running out of ideas for future gen laptops.

            Yeah, if you look at most of nowadays e.g. MacOS, it hasn't really changed much since MacOS X,
            they are just refining it nowadays.

            I am a bit worried for PC and Android. Apple is shrewd. It does seem odd (for now) Apple is willing to consider touchscreen on Macbooks, but after Apple Pencil, honestly, it is no longer too far stretched (though, these Apple leaks aren't as accurate as before).

            Yeah I read that apple is going to jack up the prices of the next iphone 15 pro max etc to a new price bracket

            Not really worried, Apple still sucks for gaming and they don't have all apps I need that is on Windows.
            They are also really wall gardened and restrictive, so not everyone likes that.
            Plus their products are really expensive and getting more expensive each year.

            Except the diehard fans or people with lots of money or people who like the simplicity of Apple products

            Most people will get PC, android phone and maybe apple tablet (cos Apple tablet still better than Android tablet)/

            In general though, due to the inflation and cost of living and maturity of the products (e.g. current phone is good enough)
            the tech companies are going to see less spending.
            A lot companies are also jacking up the prices (e.g. nvidia, apple) so middle income earners are less likely to buy it.

              @pinkybrain: I don't get why touchscreen on a Macbook Pro means that becomes the primary input method. I only have a Windows laptop that has touchscreen. That one can be folded (close to 360 degree rotation) so you just use essentially the screen only if you really want to. I gave that laptop to my father because he's just not good with trackpad. Keyboard, however, he is fine with it. Pinch in, pinch out is so much easier for him (just like phones and tablets).

              Clicking on links, especially in presentations, can be more efficient with touch screen.

              It's not about only use touchscreen for majority of input. It's about having best of both worlds.

              iPad 10th gen - honestly, it is essentially Apple's way of protesting to EU's USB-C mandates. A lot of youTube videos are more about getting you to click on them. With the USB-C requirement coming up, Apple picked an iPad Air based board, cripple the USB-C to USB 2.0, move the camera to have the excuse not to support Apple Pencil 2.

              Apple Pencil is best used with laminated display. Apple simply doesn't want to do it. The real purposes of iPad 10th gen are:

              • Fill the price gap between iPad 9th gen and iPad Air.
              • Should EU USB-C requirement mandates kick in and Apple canned iPad 9th gen, it gives EU regulators the middle finger that cheap iPads no more.

              Apple prices will keep going up. However, PCs are not going to have an easy path. PCIe gen 5 has cost implication. In order to compete, AMD, nVidia are now using 5nm processes. They won't get the same price discount as Apple.

              Majority of Apple users will welcome touchscreen on Macbooks. Mac OS is not an issue, Apple has 2 years to sort that out.

              Most recent news: PCs, laptops suffered yet another sales decline across the board last year. The least affect company is Apple.

              Sure, Apple Macs suck in gaming, but iOS mobile gaming still bring in more revenue than PC gaming.

    • entropysbane on 15/01/2023 - 07:04

      Probably what to go OLED and can’t find a laptop OLED display without it. Apple would have to iPadOSise MacOS to do it.

      I doubt it would make a difference to iPad sales, or MacBooks when it comes to that. Their main limitation for sales is not a touch screen, but price.

      As for touch, I can’t think of the last time I used the touchscreen on my HP dragonfly. TBH the most I have used that for is scrolling. And even then I mostly use the trackpad.

        With an USB-C dongle, this will support a 2TB external SSD easily (if the hub has USB 3.0 card reader, you can use that concurrently too). Let's get all Android tablets to support that too.

The problem I have is not being able to upload to YouTube directly from the external drive. It doesn’t seem possible to browse and select the finished video from either the browser or app version of YouTube on my iPad Air, works from a PC.

              Uploading files directly from external SSD to Youtube is still not possible. Still not a smooth workflow in Ipad.

    900 for 64 gigs and not even with 5G what happens when there's an update pretty much you do not have space at all even for updates. Unlike chromebook where you do not need to run any programs from the unit itself. Even then chromebook are now all coming in 128 gig as the base model.

    If only it was around when I was a student.

    Any recommendations on refurbished models? They already have laptops so iPad is really just for study notes and planner. iPad replaces the lecture pads

      A lot of people rate the Apple refurb store but I’ve found that if you just wait for sales/deals on OzBargain you’ll probably get brand new in box for similar money.

      Personally I’m in the same boat as you debating whether to trade in my 2018 iPad Pro 11” 4G to get about $500 from Mobile Monster vs just holding onto it for a spare iPad for the kids (although they’re under 4…). I found it interesting that Apple enabled Stage Manager for my old iPad Pro but not my wife’s much newer iPad Air 4th gen (before they switched to Apple Silicon processors).
