This is last year’s iPad. I know, it’s probably absolutely fine (I mean I had an Air 2 for 3 years) but £400 on an already obsolete/clearance model is a lot especially for a ‘Pro’ product - I would highly recommend the new 10.5” iPad Pro for the many improvements if that’s your intention. More money but you get 64GB base storage, 120Hz display, a slightly bigger, sharper display, faster CPU and 4GB RAM.
If you do want this older model you can usually find them for £270-300 on eBay, etc.

The 10.5" iPad Pro on eBay for £270-£300, would that be 'new' though? (as in 'unused'?).
Or ... thanx. :-)

Well no, I said the older model (this 9.7” one) is £270-300 and you can probably find it lightly used. The 10.5” is substantially more but justifiably worth the extra if you are a ‘Pro’ and buying this for business or prosumer use. My point is/was I don’t think an EOL device is worth £400.

If its a new.machine its not EOL. Newer models dont automatically mean EOL on existing models.

Sorry - bad choice of words. ‘Discontinued’ then. It will be supported a little longer but Apple don’t continue selling it direct like they do with the iPhone 7 and 6s.

It says there is one left, but every time I try and order it, it gets to the end of the process and tells me that the item is no longer available. I've tried about five times, each time with the same result. Bah!

If you are not in it .....you don’t win it. Is that not the second time you have missed out with BT shop ? Did you not receive an email from them ? The previous offer I managed to get 2 Pro’s. I must agree with you though........it is bad that you put in all your details only to find out they are out of stock. Better Luck next time......Black Friday is not that far away

It would have been for someone else in the family if I’d tried, but as I was messed about last time....
I’ve already got a 128MB Pro fortunately.

Could someone say how this compares to buying a Galaxy Tab S2 - or is this comparing apples and oranges? My hudl has died and I'm wondering what to get instead.

I would choose iPad all day long - not even close for build quality and longevity and battery life. I had many android tablets including the Galaxy Tab S. the iPad Pro or even the air 2 are excellent and will not disappoint.

I'm a Android user but I do own an iPad too. I'm just unsure why anybody would pay the extra for the Pro.

It’s on a different level to a standard iPad, our daughter who’s an artist has one & says it’s the best digital drawing tablet out there, the resolution with the Apple Pencil is amazing.

People don't seem to moan so much about 32GB in a phone which is more likely to require streaming access via 4G rather than WiFi so I think 32GB is less of an issue in a tablet as they are much more likely to be used at home where you will have WiFi. Moaners gonna moan.

28 Sep 17#24
If you rely 100% on cloud services/streamed media then this is fine.
For anyone else, 32gb is a pittance and despite the price I would highly avoid it.

After iOS and apps will be left with 20GB even with cloud storage, its not leaving much storage space. Good price though.
iEimis to deany76
28 Sep 17#19
To be honest, with new file system on iOS 10.2 and new image/video format on iOS11 things don't take up as much storage space anymore and with all the streaming services available 32GB is just perfect for me. Got nearly 7GB of storage back after updating to iOS11 on my iPhone.

I’ll wait for someone else to buy first. Last time I registered newly on the BT shop website because it showed they had stock of this, then I found that in spite of this it then wouldn’t let me check out because they had none. Great way of harvesting email addresses! :rage:
