Conclusion
Like every larger purchase you make, there are a considerable amount of things to think about before pulling the trigger. I hope this guide gave you a good idea of which iPad is right for you. If you are still having trouble, here are a few final thoughts to help.
In the past, I always agonized about buying the latest tech product only to have it become obsolete the next month. Over time I’ve come to the conclusion that you cannot make tech purchases while worrying about future releases. The reality is a newer model quickly supersedes every tech product.
At the end of the day, if you need a new iPad you need to go ahead and take the plunge. The good news is Apple’s products all have excellent lifespans and you can be assured purchasing the current model will serve you well for years.
That said, you shouldn’t be completely reckless either. Apple has given us a pretty good idea when to expect new products and fairly accurate rumors begin surfacing a few months before a major product release. For example, we are almost certain the iPad Air 3 is coming in March.
Other products, like the flagship iPhone, appear every September like clockwork. So it would be silly to buy a new one at full price in August knowing it is about to be replaced by a newer model.
All things considered, if you’ve decided to buy an iPad I can almost guarantee you will be a happy customer no matter what direction you decide is right for you. I know it can be a difficult decision, so if you have any other questions or information you’re curious about, let us know in the comments. We are here to help. Happy iPad buying!
