The 2024 Apple iPad Line-up
Apple’s 2024 iPad line-up has left me feeling like I’m caught in a bizarre dance—one where the steps are confusing, and the music is a cacophony of price tags and questionable decisions.
1. iPad Pro: The Overpriced Virtuoso
The iPad Pro struts onto the stage, flaunting its M4 chip and dazzling display. It’s like watching a virtuoso violinist play a concerto—impressive, but who’s paying for the orchestra? Sure, it can replace your laptop, but at what cost? The iPad Pro whispers, “Behold my sleekness, my power!” And we nod, pretending we understand the symphony of features.
2. iPad Air: The Awkward Cousin
Enter the iPad Air, the Pro’s awkward cousin. It’s like they raided the same closet, but the Air got the hand-me-downs. “Here,” says the Pro, tossing over its old clothing and accessories. “You can have these.” And the Air obligingly dons them, trying to find its identity. But wait, there’s more! Apple introduces yet another size variant. Because apparently, the world was clamoring for an iPad Air that’s neither too big nor too small—it’s the Goldilocks of tablets. But seriously, who asked for this?
3. The Price Tango
Now, let’s talk about the price strategy. Apple, in its infinite wisdom, decided to play mind games with buyers. “It’s just +$200,” they say, as if we’re all sipping champagne and tossing gold coins into fountains. But that extra $200 on the new iPad size? It’s the difference to create confusion to jump to the “Pro”, or to buy the new shinny keyboard. The price strategy is just “evil”.
4. The Dance Continues
As a fan, I’m torn between frustration and bewilderment. Why another iPad size? Is there a secret society of iPad enthusiasts who meet in dimly lit rooms, chanting, “More sizes, more confusion!”? Or is it a ploy to keep us perpetually dissatisfied, forever chasing the next upgrade?
And what about the smallest? Are they “killing” the mini?
