We are lucky that we have friend who work for apple so will be getting discount but as a Samsung user I have no idea what she should get as we want something that will get good few years worth of software updates.
We could get following
Ipad air gen 5 but it comes in at £700+
10th gen ipad cheaper but I hear I might as well buy gen 4 ipad air.
We could get following refurbed
Ipad air 4th gen its around £400 but since it was released in 2020 will it still get updates.
Ipad 11in Pro gen 2 (newest is 3rd I think) for around £500+
My thought is ipad 11in Pro it cheaper than air gen5 but practically same spec.
Just wonder other people thoughts she got budget for all of them so just don't want to over waste on her money.","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52052873","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"echobase"},"datePublished":"2024-01-23T21:23:22.000Z","text":"Maybe ask your friend who works for Apple?

I have a Android background so aware we get like 3 years only."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52054502","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Mr.Plow"},"datePublished":"2024-01-24T07:09:28.000Z","text":"Without looking I've no idea regards the model differences ie what's more pro about a pro but if it's longevity then would the most recent model receive updates the longest."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52058524","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"TheUrbis"},"datePublished":"2024-01-24T16:15:13.000Z","text":"For everyday use the 10th Gen iPad is a great shout."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52058686","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"rodman"},"datePublished":"2024-01-24T16:34:58.000Z","text":"New iPads coming March/April.
