Which ipad

[steveg]

Over the summer I need to replace some of our oldest ipads, but I'm not sure which model to go for at the moment, it's normally a fairly easy choice! We need at least 64gb of storage, which rules out the cheapest 6th gen ipad.

 

32 ipad 6th gen 128gb devices are approx £10,600 (web prices, will obviously get quotes)

32 Ipad air 3 64gb devices are approx £13,250

 

The 6th gen came out a year before the air, so it's reasonable to expect its support will end a year before an air 3. The cost per year is then not vastly different between the 2 models. Are there likely to be any more devices released this year?

 

Before anyone suggests alternatives to ipads, we do have other devices in school, but these are replacing ipads which are used extensively.

The new 3rd gen iPad Air would make the most sense to buy since it has a processor that's two generations newer than the one in the 6th Gen iPad 9.7" (A10 Fusion vs A12 Bionic).

 

Are there likely to be any more devices released this year?

There's meant to be a new 10.2" iPad out later this year, but this will probably be released too late for the summer holidays.

Thanks

 

That is pretty much my thinking, the extra life we will get out of it at the other end will off-set the initial purchase price now.

 

They nearly always launch a new ipad just after I buy some, I'm used to it now!

We tend to buy the Education Model which is £295 in 128gb and only £230 for 32gb. With use of Google photos etc we're not seeing any space issues anymore.

The education model is the same as mentioned above, the 2018 version, just with education discount isn't it? I'll need to get some quotes in and see if they offer the same level of education discount on the Air3.

Yes just apple marketing etc shows up in my dashboard as 6th Gen.
