Apple Ipad 10th Gen $90 off for Dec
- Thread starter alarmguy
- Start date
Out of stock online but I found one in my local store. My Costco doesn't move product as fast as most of them. A new iPad is coming out next year so they are getting rid of stock on hand. That is when I like to buy my Apple products.
Now if the iPad mini would be remotely modern with real phone call capabilities…
I assumed the iPad Air is the new version. However the 10 is a killer version/price for those that want a powerful tablet and an Apple product VS an off brand.
It was at a great price point that no longer can be had at Costco. They still have the same 10th gen model for sale but it has more memory and being advertised at Costco for over $400.
As far as stock on hand that is a Costco thing as they don’t carry many products of anything.
The 10th gen is not discontinued yet being it is a 2022 and the 9th gen still being sold at a discount is now discontinued.
I know you are aware this is for others who may not be.
The new generation is not out yet There are only leaked rumors in the tech magazines. Won't be until next year.
Yes it was a killer deal and I can get $65 for my ninth gen which brings my cost to well under $200. I really didn't need a new one but it was too good to pass up.

Same and I have iPads and Kindle …
Yes, I know, the 10 is the current new generation iPad until another gen comes out.
Im curious though and honestly I do not follow iPads but if you wanted a really powerful new iPad why not the M2 air that came out this year?
I assume maybe the cost but it doesnt seem excessive and M2 chip - 2024

Im not sure I am understanding. Its in the link but I guess since it is $90 off @ $249 I could have posted that the regular price was $339?
I assume this is what you are saying, correct me if I'm am wrong and will keep it in mind for the future as I cant go back and edit.

Ended up purchasing this: iPad Air 11-inch, Wi-Fi (M2 chip), Space Gray, 128GB, from Costco. $499. Normal price $569.
I think an Amazon Kindle better matched what I was looking for and was significantly less cost.
Decided against the Kindle after doing much research on Kindle's licenses terms and conditions on media purchased. AMZN has the right to take back, without the owner's consent, any and all media the Kindle user purchased a license for. AMZN can do this without the Kindle owner's consent or knowledge. AMZN has in fact done this, to people that purchased the license to the book 1984, to one woman who violated some AMZN policy-- AMZN went to het Kindle and deleted all her purchased licenses without her knowledge.
Years ago you could "lend out an e-book" one purchased a license for on AMZN. You simply could not read the book while you lent it out. AMZN no longer allows this.
Here is the real kicker. It was reported the licenses for media purchased through AMZN are subject to AMZN's T&C. But here is the reported real kicker- AMZN can change the T&C anytime, and the new T&C is in effect at AMZN's desire- not the T&C when a user purchased the license. That is very scary- and these are the T&C every single license media purchase on AMZN happens. No reason to read the T&C, AMZN can change anytime and what they change to is what is in effect. One outlandish example- somewhen purchases the licenses to lest say 50 e-books from AMZN. Next year, AMZN can revise the T&C and state that every e-book requires an annual maintenance fee of lets say .99 per e-book annually. And if you don't pay the annual maintenance fee, AMZN deletes the e-books so you can no longer read them.
I suspect Apple has like situations, but I am hopeful a iPad has more vendors than AMZN to purchase e-books from. And one final comment, it is reported AMZN threatens e-book publishers if the publisher offers the e-book on platforms other than AMZN.

Yes, they are in stock, to Costco credit they did say for the month of December. I guess they meant it.
Anyone interested the link is in the OP. List price $339.00 on sale at Costco for $249.00 if your not a member someone mentioned already that you pay a 5% surcharge still making it a great deal. I picked one up for my wife as an extra present at this price.
She is into photography and a tablet is an easy way to show photos without having people look at her desktop, laptop or iPhone.
Heck I kind of want one for myself at this price.
They did have the “while supplies last” disclaimer. This new one is twice as fast on WiFi that the ninth generation is.
Looking forward to checking it out when my wife opens it at Christmas.
Definitely one of those presents she will find useful as we both are into this kind of stuff, electronics and all things Internet.
That's why I bought myself one too. So, I get to play with one and she gets one too.Looking forward to checking it out when my wife opens it at Christmas.

Yes the thought crossed my mind too. But for now I already have the desktop, lap top and phone (all Apple) and can wait should I like hers which I most likely will, MANY years ago 10? I had one of the 1st or 2nd gen iPads
I like the idea for photos a lot both of us are kind of into that.
It was the sale that got me thinking
