detailedReviews: detailedReviews 1: content: It’s really amazing how something so small, thin and light weight can be so fast and powerful and yet remain cool. My Boxx work station I bought in 2014 finally died. Rest in peace my good friend. So I decided to build my next pc and so I purchased this i Pad Pro 11 M4 2024 with nano screen 16Gb of ram and 2Tb of ssd. It wasn’t long before I realized that if I purchased a high quality usb C cable that I could connect this machine to my USB C Dell 34 inch monitor and I also purchased the keyboard and pen for it and I wasn’t sure what to expect but wow I am just amazed because just yesterday I needed to print something and so I downloaded the Cannon printer app. In less than 5 minutes my Apple i Pad Pro 11 M4 was having a conversation with my Cannon printer and Wi-router. I made a print request on my i Pad Pro and after 10 seconds my printer started printing. It also is linked to my Yamaha surround sound receiver and works flawlessly! I really love my i Pad and I never dreamed that it would be able to replace my desktop pc like it has. Oh, one more very important part of this device is its image quality and I don’t mean just good but it is the best screen I ever had ever seen before. I loved watching movies on it. This device has a very high price tag on it but believe me when i say to you that it’s worth it. I put the insurance on mine and I think you all should do the same.

title: Powerful, fast, and replaces desktop PC
detailedReviews 2: content: My old iPad from 2018 was running out of space and becoming unusable, just as I was about to reenter higher education after a couple decades away. I knew lots of students take notes on their tablets now, so armed with an Apple Pencil Pro and this iPad, I headed off to class.
Love love love taking notes on this! It felt weird writing on glass, so I grabbed a very nice textured screen protector from Elecom (much better visual quality over PaperLike). I quickly figured out how to use GoodNotes and Notability, and just finished my first quarter taking difficult science classes with straight A’s!
But back to the device, the screen is SO much brighter than previous generations, and the saturation of color and depth of black is remarkable. Visually, it’s stunning.
I went hard with the 1TB storage Pro, as I plan on keeping this for a long time and prefer all my pics and vids on my device in full quality 4k.
Watching 4k videos from our family vacay in Sicily is a joy on here, and it’s great to shoot lots of pics on my iPhone 16 Pro Max and get home and sort through on this instead of little phone screen. I never wouldn’t caught that booger in my nose at the hot springs on the phone!
It’s super fast. Loads, updates, backups, etc. All very speedy.
With the Magic Keyboard, it feels so premium. For a short trip when I don’t want to lug my MacBook, this is great. Also fits on an airplane tray table, unlike a 16” laptop.
I don’t really game or do anything super demanding on this, but I like knowing that I COULD if I wanted to. For the screen is my fave part. It’s got a tiny bezel, so it’s almost the same size overall as my old 9.7” iPad, but with a much bigger and better picture. Also very light and portable. I sometimes still bring my big laptop to school for additional functionality on desktop apps, but usually just use the iPad.
Oh and it seems to hold a charge for like forever. I never need to charge it during the day, although sometimes do just out of habit.
The only drawback is the price! Ouch, this hurt, but for how long I intend on using it, I think I’ll get my money’s worth.

title: Amazing for notes, bright and saturated screen
detailedReviews 3: content: This review is for the 2024 11” iPad Pro M4 WiFi version. The iPad is a fantastic device. The screen is bright and displays beautiful, rich colors and deep blacks. The M4 processor is speedy. The iPad is very thin but heavier than I expected. I purchased the Otterbox Defender case for added protection, adding a few more ounces to the weight. I use the Apple Pencil Pro with my iPad as an artist, which works great. I chose the 11” model because it fits my needs as a portable tablet and is small enough to carry on location. This is not to say that the 13” inch model is too large. If you are planning to purchase either model, I advise you to compare the sizes before you decide. I am delighted with my purchase, and I think it is a good value for the money. I would also evaluate your memory requirement and purchase as much as you can afford. I purchased the 512GB version but will buy the 1TB or 2TB version next time. The only con for me is the weight, which is not bad, just more than I expected. I highly recommend this version.

detailedReviews 4: content: Magically thin and light. The display is the nicest display I’ve ever laid eyes on. Performance is top tier. I play games at 120fps and it doesn’t miss a beat. The speakers are a little tinny coming from my 2018 12.9” iPad Pro, but still have a good enough stereo effect. Most of all, it is a wonderful experience to use and I really can’t speak highly enough about the display. It’s absolutely stunning. If you’re on a 2020 or older iPad Pro, or if you’re curious about your first iPad, I definitely recommend considering this model.

title: Magically thin, stunning display, top-tier performance
detailedReviews 5: content: This is probably the best tablet you can buy right now, with an amazing display that looks better than probably any other display you have ever used, a laptop grade processor (which is not even remotely used to it's full potential), great speakers, face ID, and basically everything else you could possibly wish for. I'm glad that they switched the webcam orientation compared to the last generation and the removal of the ultrawide camera is practically irrelevant. Although it is really cool to hold it in your hands at just 5mm I would rather have it be slightly thicker so that the battery life was improved and it felt a little more sturdy. Not to say that it doesn't feel sturdy, but I feel very scared using it given how expensive it is, I'm always on edge when I use it somewhere where it could possibly get damaged.
I think the main advantage of the 13 inch over the 11 inch is if you are planning to use the keyboard or use the pencil at all. The 13 inch is basically the exact same size as a standard piece of printer paper meaning if you plan to draw or take notes you don't have to zoom in like you do with the smaller one. Also the keyboard for the 13 inch is much more spaced out and comparable to a macbook air. It is really light so it isn't necessarily uncomfortable to use but it would its definitely more unwieldy than the 11 inch.
I would definitely recommend this if you can find it on sale, which it goes on frequently, but only for people who really care about the improvements over the ipad air. For most people, this is going to feel the exact same as the iPad Air 13 (which is 400 dollars cheaper for the same storage at retail) unless you care about the tandem OLED 120hz promotion display, which I would say is the primary reason to buy this.

title: Best tablet, amazing display, laptop-grade processor
detailedReviews 6: content: The 11-Inch IPad Pro equipped with Apple’s M4 chip not only offers an unprecedented amount of power but it provides you with an unbeatable display to showcase that power off. It features an Ultra Retina XDR screen in a nutshell it’s a advenced tandem OLED display that offers up to 1000nits of brightness and a contrast ration of 2,000,000:1. Media consumption on this device is absolutely breathtaking, especially when viewing content in proper HDR. It also includes ProMotion which means you can enjoy a buttery smooth 120hz display. The screen sets itself appear from any other tablet on the market, and I haven’t even mentioned the class leading chip powering it. The M4 is simply the do it all chip, anything from photoshop, video editing, to ray traced gaming is ran flawlessly on this powerhouse of a chip. One of the cool niche features I found fairly useful with this iPad the stage view front facing camera during video chats. Since it’s an ultra wide camera it’s able to follow your face even when moving around in a large area and still center the camera as if you hadn’t been moving at all which is honestly pretty cool. Given the hardware the battery life still gets me though the full day whenever I decide to use my iPad over my phone, I never had to worry about the battery draining too fast. The overall package absolutely hits all the boxes for me If I had to choose something I disliked about it, I’d have to say the software. The software being the OS itself, it’s holding back the power of the M4 as it’s not being used to its fullest as iPadOS can be very limiting at times or specific workflows aren’t up to par with the hardware due to limitations of the OS.

title: Unbeatable display, class-leading M4 chip
detailedReviews 7: content: Just surprised my artist wife with the new 11-inch iPad Pro with the M4 chip, and watching her use it these past few weeks has been amazing. Got lucky and snagged it on sale for $1139, saving $60 off retail - not a huge discount but hey, it's Apple, I'll take what I can get!
First thing she noticed was the new OLED display - it's a massive upgrade from her old iPad. The colors are just incredibly vibrant and the blacks are truly black, which makes a huge difference when she's working on her digital art. She keeps raving about how she can finally see her color choices accurately, especially when working on darker pieces.
The M4 chip is seriously impressive. Her procreate files can get pretty huge with all the layers she uses, but this thing doesn't even break a sweat. No lag when using complex brushes or working with high-res canvases. The built-in AI features have been a nice surprise too - she's been experimenting with the new art generation tools to help with initial concepts.
The 512GB storage was definitely the right choice for her art files. Her old iPad was constantly running out of space, but now she can keep all her work files locally without worrying about cloud storage.
Battery life has been great - she can work on it all day without reaching for the charger. The Apple Pencil response is buttery smooth (though annoyed we had to buy that separately).
Only minor gripe is that the 11-inch screen sometimes feels a bit small when she's really getting into detailed work, but she preferred this size for portability since she often works at cafes. The OLED screen somehow makes the size feel less limiting than her previous iPad.
Worth every penny for a professional artist. The screen alone is a game-changer, and the M4's power means she's never waiting for the device to catch up to her creativity.
Bought at: Killeen Best Buy
Price paid: $1139 (Saved $60)
Perfect for: Digital artists, graphic designers, creative professionals
Using with: Apple Pencil 2, Procreate
Note: This is actually already way better than her old iPad Pro, and she's just scratching the surface of what the AI features can do. Excited to see how she uses it as she explores more.

title: OLED display and M4 chip are game-changers
detailedReviews 8: content: I decided to upgrade from my older 2017 iPad Pro to a newer model and I’m really glad I chose this one:
Apple 11-inch iPad Pro M4 with OLED Silver.
Since my older iPad Pro only had 256 GB total storage, I wanted more storage so I chose 512 GB. The screen resolution (2420 x 1668) makes watching videos on my Pro very enjoyable because the images are so lifelike and the True Tone color quality is exceptional. And sound is clear and easy to hear from four speakers.
I also began using my iPad all the time now instead of my laptop to edit pictures since the amount of RAM (8 gigabytes) guarantees the best performance .
The wireless connectivity (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi) found my earbuds and headphones without any problems and this was a big plus for me.
Another big selling point for me was a longer battery life (up to 10 hours), I’ve never had to plug it in while working on a project. Also this iPad is thinner so lighter in weight (15.68 ounces). Because the front and rear facing cameras are so much more advanced from the older models, videos and pictures have been exceptionally better and not needing much editing.
I did buy a screen protector and a new case to protect my investment. And eventually though my pen is not an Apple it worked right away with this new iPad.
I’m very happy with my purchase and very glad I upgraded. I highly recommend this new iPad if you are wanting it to work just like a computer but easier and lighter to take with you.

detailedReviews 9: content: I have previously bought the iPad Air model and found it excellent value and great quality.
I wanted facial recognition so I upgraded to a an iPad Pro which is brilliant, facial recognition, Oled screen and M4 chip are all additional features which I was happy to pay for.
I found an iPad Air lasted me around four years and I have never had a complaint, I can definitely say if you do not need Facial recognition, the better screen and an M4 chip spend 50% less on the iPad Air.
If like you me you go for the Pro model I am hoping this will last longer than four years.
The features are fantastic, there is nothing to dislike about the Pro, the screen is fantastic, facial recognition is much easier to use than fingerprint recognition. It is lighting fast and I am very pleased with it.
Expensive and that is the dilemma, I thought about Air or Pro, watched all the video reviews, read all the reviews and still could not make a decision.
In the end I went on line, always to John Lewis, customer service, price, delivery are better than other retailers and clicked the buy button, iPad Pro bought, it's definitely a matter of personal preference, I have no regrets it's brilliant, probably a little expensive.
John Lewis, fantastic customer service, competitive pricing and highly recommend.

detailedReviews 10: content: It took me two months to research, think and finalize my decision to buy this! Made this investment keeping productivity and yield in mind. 1. 1TB for long term storage 2. Tandem screen for absolute experience. Only thing I regret is that I missed to go for Cellular option which I should have.
- Apple pen is added advantage in many application usage, note taking, mind mapping, drawing etc. Apple pen plays it roles perfectly with the image and video editing tools with precision.
- Kindle, ebook reading gives next level experience with tandem OLED screen.
- Sound system matches your the viewing experience with wonderful surround system built within iPad.
- Most of my business related apps are available in store which makes my laptop usage minimal with keyboard.
- The 13” gives the mixed experience of laptop and tabs, balancing out just right, makes this ipad absolute compatible companion!
Still analyzing the battery usage, etc, but so far it is good.
Last but not least, Best Buy’s price - which cannot be matched with any other competitor! If it is not Best Buy, I wouldn’t have brought this right now, I could have waiting for some more time or Would have gone for next available models!
I hope this review finds better use for users and making the decision!

detailedReviews 11: content: Long time iPad user here, as in I had the very first iPad released and have been a fan ever since! If you’re on the fence about buying an iPad, or especially on the fence about spending this much on an iPad here’s what I’ll say: there’s never been a better iPad than the M4 Pro. That sounds obvious, yes, but it’s true in some important ways. For starters, the screen. It’s better than my television. It’s better than my MacBook Pro. You may not appreciate it at first, but then you’ll see something pop in HDR and it’ll take your breath away. (Recommendation: watch the trailer for F1 in the Apple TV app. Stunning!) The other thing I’ll argue really is the size. Again, not that different from years past in terms of general size, but there IS a difference when using it. I love the 11”. To me, that’s the perfect size for being a tablet and portability, and plenty big enough to get stuff done. And now it’s a little thinner. I had the 2018 Pro and I’m telling you that minor difference in thickness may not be hugely noticeable to your eyes but it is noticeable in your hand. This thing is so thin and light now. Don’t get a bulky case. You don’t need the Magic Keyboard. Get a thin case and any old Bluetooth keyboard and you’ve got a great little ultra-portable set up. And finally, Stage Manager. It’s not perfect but it’s getting better and being able to plug into an external display is awesome.
So much energy is wasted on the “can I replace my laptop” question, and I think that’s been unfair to the iPad. Nobody talks nearly as much about why Apple hasn’t put a touchscreen on a Mac at some point in the last decade. If you think you might like an iPad, get one and don’t expect it to replace anything. Use it to compliment anything else you do on your phone and computer, and you’ll probably love it. And if you simply want the best and are willing to pay for it, then the M4 Pro is unrivaled. It’s awesome and I love it. Don’t get caught up in the YouTube debate inferno. You can like this device for what is it, on its own terms, and don’t have to feel guilty about all the ways in which it’s not a laptop. That’s the whole point. It’s not a laptop, It’s an iPad. And this is the best one they’ve ever made.

detailedReviews 12: content: Nursing student here!
I finally decided to upgrade my Ipad from the 10” 7th generation 32 GB after completing my 1st semester. I decided to start class with what I had & see how that went… well, I ran out of storage & had only the MUST HAVE apps on it, it was slow & I couldn’t update it (out of room) so wasn’t able to use some of my apps to their full potential.
I bit the bullet & went with the Pro over an Air because of the brighter screen (I love to do work outside) & lighter. I decided on the 13 because I can have 2 screens (book & Goodnotes) open @ once & see WAY more of each page when in landscape. This allows me to only have 1 screen going at a time, before I would have my laptop with my book on it & my pad taking notes. I’m learning how to use the new features & can’t wait to be more productive! I did purchase the pencil pro & I ABSOLUTELY love it over the gen 1 pencil I had. The tapping to the easer & back to pen… PERFECTION!
I am not one to spend this kind of money, especially on myself… but this is a tool for school & necessary for college these days (I’m an 80’s baby). I believe I love it more because I made do with what I had 1st. This thing will get me through my BSN & beyond.
I am satisfied with my decision, after researching for 1.5 weeks: asking peers, watching YouTube reviews & spending 1.5 @ BestBuy playing with all the Ipads.

detailedReviews 13: content: This is my third iPad. They just get better and better. I am a musician and use the garage band product which is a free bundle. For my purposes it is just right. I decided to get a pencil with the computer too, it is very helpful for editing music notation on the piano roll facility in garage band. Having been an iPad user since about 2010 I am familiar with the interface. The immediacy of simply switching on and off, the lightness of weight, portability etc, it is all, for me, simply perfect. I don't need a word processor, just a good web browser. A laptop would be too much effort. The electronic screen, the camera, the microphone etc, it is all good. I was not sure about the lack of an audio jack point, and the bluetooth has too much latency for the headphones when using garage band. However, the headphones via the usb c connection with an adapter works perfectly for my needs. The iPad I bought was not cheap, the m4 with 13 inch screen and a terabyte of data storage, however I use the machine every day, it will get a lot of use, as did its predecessors, so I feel, for me, it is worth it.

detailedReviews 14: content: Still running a 2015 iPad Air 2 after buying it from John Lewis Watford, I knew that it was desperately in need of replacement. This 2024 iPad Pro fitted the bill nicely, and provided the long-overdue upgrade experience that I was hoping for.
The screen is bright and clear, and the sound is excellent. I was torn between the 11" and 13" models for some time, but am glad that I chose the smaller model, for better portability. The Space Black colour looks great, and I prefer the black bezel round the edge of the screen, which is less distracting than the silver model.
All in all an excellent product, but with the usual high Apple price tag. The fact that Apple chooses to no longer include a power supply with a device that really needs a high current to charge it in a timely manner is, in my opinion, unacceptable.
Apart from this, I'm pleased with my purchase. The usual good service from John Lewis, including a two year guarantee, and easy collection from my local Waitrose branch.

title: Long-overdue upgrade, bright screen, excellent sound
detailedReviews 15: content: This review is based on the purchase of the 2024 iPad Pro M4 Which replaces my 8 year old previous model, so it's bound to be a huge upgrade.
Firstly I found the removal of the physical button/fingerprint reader difficult to get used to, but I guess that's just 8 years previous auto response kicking in. The facial recognition feature seems to work well except when you're taking a slurp of tea at the precise moment it's scanning for your face and it sees a different type of mugshot.
The screen is extremely good and battery life excellent with it lasting a couple of days with moderate/high usage. I bought a 25 watt charger and it will fully recharge in about 2.5 hours from virtually zero battery left.
It is very fast and things open and respond much quicker even with multiple apps open.
Is it worth the money... yes for sure, but then I'm not exactly the world's biggest spender on replacement tablets and phones, so don't take my word for it as my comparison is not exactly like for almost like.
Would I buy it again? Yes, I did get an extra one for my other half.

detailedReviews 16: content: I recently purchased the 11” IPad Pro for $899 to replace my 6 yr old IPad 6th generation due to the power switch no longer working.
My new iPad works great and love it as I’m still trying to figure out the differences between them. The downside is the expense compared to my older one. However, this iPad does have double the storage (256GB) compared to (128GB) of my last one. The screen is brighter and love how the images look. Overall, I’m happy with it and looking forward to enjoying it for years to come. I only purchase Apple products and love how they all have lasted and rarely have issues over the 20+ years I’ve been using Apple products. I also usually purchase my Apple products from Best Buy and they have stood behind the products I’ve purchased. This time I purchased my products online from Best Buy and was skeptical. However, all products arrived in timely manner and were well packaged and worked right out of the box. Definitely give products and services 5 stars.

The size is perfect as well not too big but not too small either! The liquid retina display is gorgeous with vibrant colors and excellent sharpness. Whether I’m watching videos or working on projects the visual are top notch.
I also love the Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) support for drawing, note-taking, and marking up documents. It pairs so well with the iPad Air, making it a great tool for both creative work and productivity.
The battery life is impressive as well, easily lasting me through a full day of moderate use without needing a recharge.
My only small gripe is the price—it’s a little on the higher side for a tablet, but given the performance, display, and features, it feels worth it in the long run. It’s great!

detailedReviews 18: content: This has to be the best iPad I have ever owned and I have owned iPads back to the original iPad. I love how thin and light this iPad is. I also love the screen. I can’t believe how sharp and clear the pictures and videos are on this. My last iPad was the 2021 iPad Pro 12.9 and I thought that was impressive, well it was. Until I got this thing in my hands. I haven’t looked back and said I made a mistake. One regret I did make was going with the 1 TB over going to the 512 GB. I went with the larger to get the upgraded memory and upgraded processor. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to make a difference in all testing that I am seeing. And if it does make a difference it is so minimal that spending hundreds more for it is not worth it. But hey I have it now and I am enjoying it. I picked up the pencil pro and Smart Keyboard as well and boy that just racks up the expense on this iPad. But it is an investment in a device that I take everywhere and besides my iPhone it needs to be the best. I went with the 13” over the 11” because I like the extra screen. I do a lot of video editing and needed a bigger screen. If you go with this iPad , you won’t regret it. But go with a smaller size, unless you truthfully need it. Remember you can attach external hard drives to this iPad as well so you can expand the memory

title: Best iPad ever, amazing screen, great for editing
detailedReviews 19: content: I decided to upgrade a six-year-old iPad to the new M4 version, but the size was the question--11 or 13 inches. Two inches make a big difference in the viewing area. I tried the 13-inch for two weeks, and the screen is incredible, but for me, it was just a little too big to haul around. So, I changed to a 11-inch screen, and for my use, which is casual, not professional, I found it to be a good overall size. About the machine itself: Very fast, the screen is incredible for showing off your images or anything else. Using Apple's iDrive, I can have easy access to all my desktop computer's files. Downside-- any errant touching of the screen will produce a pop-up or different screen, and that can be annoying. Probably an Apple pencil would help solve problem. These iPads are expensive, so for many a laptop might be a better solution. But for me, the portability and the screen (I am a photographer) won me over. Lots of YouTube videos to watch. Price brings the rating down to 4 stars.

title: Incredible screen, portable, great for photographers
detailedReviews 20: content: I purchased the original iPad(9) Pro 9.5" from Best Buy in 2017, and it's worked flawlessly since then. It uses the latest OS and is still fast enough. However, over the past few months, the battery has drained too quickly for me.
So, when I was looking for an upgrade, I decided to stay with the Pro model; it is overpowered for a tablet and my needs. However, if this lasts another seven years, I will be happy.
I purchased the 11-inch model, and the screen is bright and beautiful; you can see the difference. It is fast. I bought the Pro Pen with it, and I prefer this over the older pen.
I know it has a more petite frame and more screen, but I prefer it. I miss the fingerprint button, and I prefer that over Face ID. It is a tactile feel and seems faster than Face ID.
I have the iPhone 16, MacBook Pro, and this iPad, which adds to the echo system. I love the fact that I can copy something on my Mac and paste it on my iPad or vice versa.
So far, I am very pleased, I got a great deal from Best Buy during a sale, picked up from a local store.

title: Best iPad ever, bright and beautiful screen
detailedReviews 21: content: I’ve owned tablets from most every brand. My more resent tablet of choice have all been Samsung which I thought were pretty hard to top.
My Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is impressive with its expansive screen and snappy interface. I really enjoy using it but like my cell phones I tend to upgrade at or around two years and that just recently hit for my S8 Ultra.
I did tons of research and was torn between another Samsung or the iPad Pro. I decided to take a leap and went for the iPad Pro. It has not disappointed at all. I’m finding that the Apple Ecosystem is much more refined. I have a iPhone for work and it synced simply by me using the same email account. Samsung requires much more user input for the same “fluid experience”.
I could go on for hours about what makes the iPad better than Samsungs Android offerings but I’ll just say this. The iPad Pro 13 M4 is a top notch tablet with an amazing screen, snappy user interface, and one of the best ecosystems I’ve ever seen.

detailedReviews 22: content: Apple iPad Pro 11” WiFi 256GB M4 2024 5th Generation is an excellent iPad. Fast, many wonderful applications and nice upgrade from my previous model. Having weighted options - Air - Mac - Pro this was an easy choice. MS Word is a dream on the Pro. The longevity of these Pros are very impressive, the operability will long exceed the upgrade of iOS upgrades.
This gen Apple keyboard is the best of all options, lives up to the promise. The variable screen tilt is perfect. I have owned several non apple keyboards and the well known names were great until they weren’t. This feels much sturdier, and expect it to last the lifetime of the iPad Pro.
The staff at Midtown Best Buy, Kayla and Ivanna were incredibly helpful. The online purchase was far from easy. so I particularly appreciated their efforts to expedite and conclude my purchase.

detailedReviews 24: content: The resolution on this model is great and you pick white or black or black on white. Speed seems good to me. It is bit heavier than 11” version but, keyboard display is very easy to use. Siri comes in handy to find things on tablet. Apple Support is great.
Possible cons most of which will be resolved by using tablet more. If 4.5* stars was an option, given following, I would have chosen that but, certainly closer to 5* than 4*. Tablet is a bit heavy for using on laptop and lightest decent case found weighs additional pound. The keyboard case are even heavier. Tablet does take a bit of time to get used to the “bar” to get home after using 7yrs+ old Apple iPad Pro 9 but guessing that keeps weight down as no wasted space on screen. The only other issue is that amount of pressure to do different tasks varies but, guessing the more I use the easier that will become.

detailedReviews 25: content: Purchased iPad Pro M4 with 13" screen to view sheet music while playing an instrument. Resolution and pixel pitch are good enough to view the sheet music while the iPad is placed on a music stand. I was surprised by how light the iPad is (I thought larger size = heavier) and even felt it was lighter than my old iPad Air.
But Apple's magic keyboard (separately purchased) was ridiculously heavy and the weight of this iPad with magic keyboard attached became comparable to my 13.3" laptop. Also, thickness doubled with the magic keyboard. I need to blame my laziness (lack of due diligence), but if I knew, I would have looked for a thinner and lighter 3rd party keyboard.
Naively speculated I might be able to salvage my old apple pencil, but old lightening connector is not compatible with this 7th generation iPad with USB-C type port - just a FYI.

title: Great for sheet music, surprisingly light
detailedReviews 26: content: When you think tablet, you probably think iPad first, which has become synonymous with the word. There's a reason for that and Apple had no good reason to outdo their competition, the previous iPad model.
Jokes aside this is a beautiful, THIN, and fast device. If you've had an iPad before, you'll notice how thin this one is. The reduced weight actually makes the larger iPad much easier to use. The OLED screen looks amazing and they've achieved a high level of brightness which helps in brighter environments. Another design choice is moving the front facing camera from the short end to the long end which made landscape calls a bit more coordinated.
The M4 chip in this is absolutely overkill. While other reviewers might highlight this as a negative, I think this is future proofing for future apps and what's to come down the road. Animations are flawless and apps are fast to load and navigate. WiFi 6e also upgrades the speed of wireless allowing for 900+ mbps speeds on my 1gbps connection.
The one thing I'm not super happy about is the loss of compatibility with the Apple Pencil 2 that magnetically connected to previous models. Because of the redesign of the Pro Pencil, they were "forced" to change the positioning of the magnets making charging the old pencil not possible. I just don't buy into this but that's what Apple does. Designing in obsolesce at the expense of innovation.
Even if I don't agree with the corporate strategy they take with getting me to buy new products, it works, and the iPad works amazingly.

detailedReviews 27: content: This is an upgrade from a smaller 2 yr old iPad Pro and it DOES NOT disappoint. It’s the right max size. Any bigger would be too much. And now that I have used it for some time, I couldn’t envision going back to the smaller one. What a difference a couple inches in screen size makes!
The powerful M4 runs very smooth and
the screen resolution is great.
The battery life is what would be expected. Though I have it set to charge only to 80% and I never let it drop below 20%. A couple hrs here and there throughout the day usually calls for a charge. But it isn’t as much a nuisance as I thought it might be. I usually forget to put it in power saving mode after a charge (power saving mode cuts off at 80% charge and has to turned back on). When I do remember, it does make a little bit difference w/o sacrificing anything noticeable in performance and/or usability.

detailedReviews 28: content: I just got the 11-inch iPad Pro with the M4 chip (WiFi + Cellular, 256GB, Space Black) and it’s honestly crazy good. The OLED screen looks insane—super bright, deep blacks, colors pop like crazy. Everything runs so smooth and fast, like no lag ever, even with a bunch of apps open.
I got the unlocked version so I can use cellular when I’m out, and that’s been super convenient. It’s super thin and light too, way easier to carry than I expected. I use it for sketching, watching stuff, and even some design work, and it handles it all no problem.
Only downside is the price—plus if you want the Apple Pencil Pro or Magic Keyboard, it adds up fast. But if you’re serious about creating, multitasking, or just want the best tablet out, this is it.
Totally worth it for me.

detailedReviews 29: content: Fantastic Ipad (frustrated with Best Buy though). This Ipad is very quick. it's the perfect size to bring back and forth to work. Excellent product, and I do like purchasing from Best Buy. Their TOTAL package is worth it if you buy a lot from them. Here is what I do not like... customers are unable to call the store directly. I heard Best Buy has a machine that can put on a screen protector so that it will not have bubbles. I am not sure if that is true. i tried calling customer service (no idea where they were located). They were unable to help. I tried chatting. I explained in the chat that I would like someone to contact the Warwick store to find out. I don't think he/she did that. Instead the representative said he'/she did not have that information and then I was given a bunch of screen protectors (i did not need that nor ask for it... I could find that myself). So it appears that customer service and customers are both unable to contact a store directly to have them answer a quick 15-second question. It's a shame. If Best Buy were more customer-friendly, it would be perfect. I will have to drive to the store to find out. Fantastic Ipad. Best Buy (eh, going downhill if they won't accept phone calls anymore at an actual store).

detailedReviews 30: content: Yes, it may not have been necessary to upgrade from my 11-inch M2 ipad Pro, but I doubled my storage from 256 to 512 gb, and now have a fresh battery versus one that had been used 10 hours a day for two years. And the screen improvement is significant and beautiful! Then why only 4 stars? The sound quality of the four speakers isnt what I heard coming out of my M2 Pro. Maybe since it’s thinner Apple went with smaller or thinner speakers. They sound tinny and muffled compared to before, though still very good and useable. Second, why no ultrawide camera? I use my iPad as a camera, and loved that lens. It’s cheap of Apple to have deleted it. Despite these flaws, I love this upgrade due to screen, noticeably lighter weight and thinner body, and more storage. The faster M4 chip isnt really that noticeable.

detailedReviews 31: content: The 11-inch iPad Pro is a powerhouse. Plain and simple. Stepping down from a 12.9-inch iPad Pro has proven to be a good move for me. The 11-inch doesn't give up any functionality and it is easier to pack and go. The one thing that I would mention to any potential iPad Pro buyers is that although the iPad itself is lightweight, the addition of the Magic Keyboard or similar make this thing much heavier. Especially for the 12.9-inch model. Something to keep in mind when shopping. Another thing to keep in mind is that if you are using an iPhone then the functionality of this is basically the same. And that there is maybe the reason why you buy this and not a MacBook. Some folks need the MacBook to run specific software for their needs, but most do not, and in that situation this is a no brainer.

detailedReviews 32: content: I have been buying iPads since the first one released. These devices have come such a long way. I use this as an alternate work device and as a personal entertainment device. This thing runs everything I throw at it without breaking a sweat. I use virtual machine desktop for work and I can plug this into a monitor when I work in the office and work using a mouse and keyboard connected through a typical USB-C docking station. My previous iPad was a 12.9 and was not very comfortable to use bedside as it was too heavy and my arms would fatigue. This iPad is so light and thin and the screen is the best looking screen I own. I rarely use my iPad Mini 6 at all anymore. This device has allowed me to turn in my MacBook Air M3 for Mac Mini M4 and I do all my mobile compute from this device. Love it and highly recommend

detailedReviews 33: content: So far the iPad Pro M4 13” has been great. It’s a major upgrade from the iPad Pro 13” from 2015 we were using. Smaller and lighter but no loss on screen space. And the screen is crispy. Great quality!
Absolutely love the new abilities to use a mouse and the new Apple Pencil Pro is amazing. Have it set up with a keyboard. Eventually will probably get a keyboard case. Excited to put this thing to work and see how it handles some artwork.
We scored a deal through Best Buy open box. Found an excellent condition one with 512gb storage and a pencil also in excellent condition. Saved close to $300 and it really is in excellent condition and still comes with coverage and apple care.
Best Buy shipped fast too. Made it in 3 days in time for my wife’s birthday. Definitely recommend.

title: Great screen, amazing new abilities, excellent condition
detailedReviews 34: content: After a week of moderate use, I believe this is one of Apple’s best products to date! Compact, powerful, and practical, this newest M4 iPad Pro checks off a lot of boxes for users needing something that will get them through the entire day. Coupled with the pro keyboard case, it serves as a nice laptop replacement for normal, everyday use, breezing through all of your operations and media consumption. The display’s unmatched clarity and brightness alone is worth everything, making mobile games come to life.
Some of the best things that I love about this tablet are: the new M4 chipset (incredibly powerful and efficient); the tandem OLED display (very bright and vibrant colors); sleek, thin, and featherweight design, and all-day battery life. I haven’t connected mine to a mobile plan just yet, but have been testing out mobile hotspot via my cell phone, and I’m getting over 14 hours of constant video use! Insanity!
The only cons: the speakers sound good but not the greatest; lack of extra connectivity options; and aspect ratio (for movies).
Although this iPad Pro is incredibly expensive, I believe it’s worth the investment with all the things it can do. I’m hoping Apple will redesign the series in the future to include a wider screen format to truly match Samsung’s wide-aspect ratio for streaming to reduce the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

title: One of Apple's best products, incredible display
detailedReviews 35: content: I upgraded from an old iPad to the newest iPad Pro (2024) with the M4 processor, 512 GB memory, and an OLED display. Upgrading was worthwhile because I was running out of storage on my old iPad (5th generation iPad, 128 GB, 2017) and although the old iPad was recently upgrade to iPadOS 16.7.11, it could not be upgraded to the latest Apple Operating System, which for my new iPad Pro is currently iPadOS 18.4. In addition, some of the newest apps will not run on the old iPadOS. Finally, I use the LIDAR on my iPhone 13 Pro Max and I wanted the same capability on an iPad and the iPad Pro 2024 M4 has that capability. Upgrading was very easy as all data, photos, files and apps were uploaded from to my new iPad Pro M4 via the Apple iCloud service and I got the new iPad Pro M4 working very quickly. The old iPad is remains functional and I will remove some of the software and files from that machine so that it can act as a backup system for critical tasks.

I’m going to be getting the Apple Magic Keyboard next, that’s what I really want to complete my set up. Having both amazing keyboards to be able to use on my baby will be awesome. Logitech for travel, and Magic Keyboard for safe places, like home or grandma’s crib.

This new iPad is incredible for reading books. As a bookworm, this is the bees knees. I assumed that I wouldn’t like watching movies etc as well as I would with the glossy screen. I was wrong. Movies etc are gorgeous with this matte screen. I’m very very very happy. The ipad is responsive, fast, and wonderful. Caveats: You have to use an included cloth to wipe the screen (Apple sells extras). I treat the ipad with kid gloves as I assume this means the screen is more delicate. Totally worth it though. 10/10 highly recommend. Fantastic experience with the iPad and ordering from BestBuy.

detailedReviews 38: content: This is probably the best tablet money can buy, but it is ultimately held back by frustrating software. The writing experience is phenomenal on a large screen like this. The screen quality is a massive leap even compared to the mini-LED displays on older iPads. But the biggest difference I notice on a day-to-day basis is how much lighter and thinner this version is compared to the other 12.9 inch ipads. For the first time, you can actually use the larger ipad comfortably as a tablet! I no longer have hand fatigue after using this. That alone is a massive improvement for me personally and changes the way I use my iPad on a daily basis. With all that being said, I think for 99% of people this is overkill. There are much more affordable iPads that do 90% of what this version can do. You’re getting almost the exact same experience as other iPads that cost less than half. On top of that, iPadOS is notoriously buggy and inconsistant, to the point where MacOS is a much easier OS to use in a lot of workflow situations. I can only recommend this to people who want the best iPad money can buy, who want the best display on any device, or someone who plans on keeping their ipad for more than 6 years. There’s a lot to love about this new iPad, but there are also a lot of limitations, and a lot of more affordable options that offer almost the exact same experience

detailedReviews 40: content: I decided it was time to upgrade from my 7-year old iPad pro to the 512GB Apple iPad Pro in the same 11-inch. My last one served me well & I am really looking forward to years ahead with this one. The Liquid Retina display was quite the upgrade for me, as was the Apple Pencil Pro. I went with the higher hard drive that doubled the storage space of my old iPad, but did not make the investment to purchase the full TB model because I was concerned that I would not sufficiently utilize it. Performance-wise, the iPad Pro's utilization of their new m4 processor makes it feel overwhelmingly faster than my old iPad. I also opted for the Magic Keyboard, and love the fact that the iPad can snap on and off the magnets on the fly.
This iPad, along with the magic keyboard and the Apple Pencil Pro are my daily drivers. I am on the go across county day in & day out so I wanted something that was small and agile. In addition to watching YT videos or checking email, I do illustration as well as photo editing. Affinity put out some really nice apps that work solidly on this tablet. I can almost forget that this is a tablet because of how adaptive it is.
Why the docking of a star? I don’t like the design of the tablet that allows imprinting of the magic keys across the screen. I like the keyboard & like the functionality. I can wipe the screen off, but didn’t experience that with my 7 year old model that I had paired with a Logitech keyboard.

detailedReviews 41: content: I had a 4th generation iPad Air and upgraded to this version. The improvements that were obvious: speed and screen clarity. I know the second doesn't make sense from the specs, but what really seems to be noticeable is that the blacks are really black and the overall appearance is better. I would say that the stability on some apps is also improved, probably due to the updated chip.
I don't have enough data to provide a good assessment on the battery life. Initially I would say that it was actually worse than the previous iPad, but that was most likely due to all of the updates done during set up. I would say that today it is the same.
So was it worth it? For me, yes. What really sealed the deal was a more than reasonable value on the trade in.

I've owned up to 2TB hard drive space in an iPad before, which is great when traveling and archiving images. But for everyday use, 256 GB is just fine. I didn't even need cellular connectivity (my older iPads were always LTE/5g) because it tethers almost immediately with my iPhone. This is definitely the best iPad yet.

title: Best new iPad available, superior equipment
detailedReviews 45: content: This is honestly the best part of the new iPad Pro M4. This keyboard case is such a great upgrade over the previous version. The keys are just as good, but you get the added function row and the trackpad is larger and has haptic feedback. It’s everything I could have dreamed of. I especially like the added touch of aluminum on the palm rest. It really makes you feel like you are getting what you pay for. I only wish that the aluminum Carried over to the bottom of the keyboard. Now that would be an awesome touch. The rubbery material on the outside of the keyboard does tend to attract fingerprints, so I decided to put a skin on is right out of the box.
My only gripe with this keyboard, which if I’m honest is nit picking, is that the newer hinge seems to have a little bit more wobble in t. I think it’s because the iPad is further back when open on this new keyboard. They did design the hinge to be flat and exposed on this model, but it may have needed a bit more tightness in the hinge. But, overall, It really doesn’t bother me. The keyboard is absolutely fantastic and is the best companion to the new IPad Pro. I honestly haven’t used my MacBook at all since I bought this keyboard with my new iPad. It truly is such a a great upgrade and was what made me want the new iPad. If you haven’t seen it in person, go check it out in stores and you will see what I mean.

detailedReviews 46: content: Well, its an iPad. I had an 11" iPad Pro that this replaces (gave the 11" to my daughter). I like the larger screen and how thin the device is. It is well built and works as designed with a really nice oled monitor. I have noticed that media (movies, etc) displays with black spaces above and below where the 11" did not so you are not really getting full use of the added screen space in all occasions. Still, it is very nice and not too big. I also bought the magic keyboard but will review that separately. In short, its very well built and has a trackpad but it add a great deal of bulk to what is a nice slim iPad. Wished the keyboard was designed to be much thinner.

detailedReviews 47: content: I recently purchased a 55-inch Samsung TV from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! The website was super easy to navigate, and I found exactly what I wanted with clear specs and pricing. I opted for in-store pickup, and when I arrived, the staff were friendly and had my order ready in minutes. The employee even offered to help me load it into my car, which was a nice touch. The TV itself is fantastic—great picture quality and worth every penny. I also appreciate the My Best Buy rewards program; earning points on this purchase felt like a bonus. Overall, great selection, smooth process, and excellent customer service. I’ll definitely be shopping here again! And will definitely love and appreciate if I can get the $400 gift cards too

detailedReviews 48: content: Quite pleased with my purchase. I had the first generation of the iPad Pro 12.9 inch. What an upgrade!. The only reason that I did not give it five stars was primarily because of the magnetic feature that holds the Apple Pencil. I have found myself knocking it off Multiple times and not noticing. I think there needs to be some additional thought in the design when incorporating the Apple Pencil. Maybe even creating a port for you to put it in almost like the old palm pilots. I’m leaving a similar review on the Apple Pencil because I’m not sure which device is at fault. Otherwise, the iPad is phenomenal.

detailedReviews 49: content: I was going to swear off Apple tablets, even tho (before I finally got the tablet I truly wanted) I knew that when it comes to a perfect tablet for most people, the iPad wins.
When I heard that the M4 (and yes, if you read my review about my bad luck with the M-chips in their laptops) was going into the iPad Pro first I had to dip my toes into the fruit's pool to see how kick-butt this tablet was.
I wasn't disappointed...but like a great movie that was too short, i ended up being so anyway.
Light, thin, about as powerful as most modern laptops (only held back by iPadOS) this thing truly was beautiful. While the way iPadOS (comapred to something like the Galaxy TAB S9, its closest competitor) handles multitasking is a matter if you like it or not, there was nothing (photo editing, for example) it could't handle...
...except staying up late.
For what this thing cost, the battery life was abysmal. 7-8 hours on a good day, then time to plug it in. Now don't get me wrong, it isn't like it shut off in 15 minutes, but considering the tablet I settled up with gave me at least 4 hours more of time and I only charged it every few days, it was a dealbreaker for me (I figured charigng it every day wouldn't get me the 3-4 years something like this should last ain't gonna let the battery last that long).
Ended up returning it.

detailedReviews 50: content: I ended up returning the 13” Pro and purchasing the 11” Pro. The smaller size just works better for me, whether using on an airplane or reading something while sitting on my couch. Display is beautiful. 120 hertz refresh rate makes things buttery smooth. Has the typical quality Apple feel in hand. The thinness is almost unbelievable, which is appreciated, however, the reason for my 4 star review is that a product of that thin profile is some truly awful sound quality from the speakers. I would trade the thinness to have the same great sound that is produced by my iPhone 15 Pro Max. This obviously isn’t a problem when I wear headphones, but sometimes I dont wear them.

detailedReviews 51: content: There isn’t anything quite like this device so it’s hard to compare it if you’re just getting tablets to watch stuff this is the wrong category frankly you’re better off with a cheaper Samsung or a cheaper iPad depending on what your mobile device of preferences is.
This is advice for tablet, enthusiast, and people who like to use their iPad pros for professional purposes that’s why you pay the extra for the added storage and ram and slightly updated CPU. The real competition for this device is the base M4 iPad Pro and that’s where the value really is. This upgrades model is a powerful device however you come away feeling like you don’t know why you paid the extra. Especially since that extra is so much money. I had deals to bring down the price and wanted to experience this for my self. So I knew what I was getting into sold two previous tablets and had a ton of rewards points and even I am wondering if by the time I realize the potential of this device it will have been cheaper to just put the money into the next tablet.
If I was just reviewing the tablet on its own I’d give it 4 stars. The speakers aren’t as good as m1 iPad Pro but they’re close. I deducted star bc the value isn’t there for the ram and storage cost and the slight cpu bump.

detailedReviews 52: content: So I had a 2019 iPad Air. I “upgraded” to a the m2 air, and was unimpressed. Honestly, display, weight, and thickness of my old air was better. So I decided to try the pro. This pro is a work of art.
For those of you considering an air vs a pro here is a summary of the two from someone that tried both:
Memory - the entry air comes with 128, the entry pro with 256. ‘nough said.
Performance - these both perform well and support WiFi 6. I don’t really find a need for the m4 over the m2 at the moment, unless the m2 is the cause of the air’s ridiculous heat issue (see heat comments).
Heat - the air not only gets incredibly hot, but the heat is all on the right side by the camera, which just makes it awkward and uncomfortable to hold. The pro does not get as hot, gets hot less often, and its warmth is distributed making it much more comfortable when it does heat up.
Screen - no comparison. The 11 inch air screen is lifeless. Colors are dull, hardly any contrast. I always felt that I needed it to be brighter. The pro is brilliant, colors are rich, contrast is incredible making it easy to use for reading. I am on 1/2 brightness as I write this and it’s fine. In addition the oled screen has a wider viewing angle so you don’t have to deal with parts the screen fading off depending on how you are holding it.
Dimensions - air is somewhat larger, thicker, and heavier. It’s not terrible, Although on paper the differences are subtle, they are noticeable in person. The pro feels much better in the hand, easier to type on, and hold.

detailedReviews 53: content: What an amazing display on this powerful 11" iPad Pro. I teach painting to "seniors", and use the iPad to display motivational images. The images are crystal clear, the colors vibrant and the response time fast. I had a 10 year old iPad...so they do stand up...but my students are amazed at the quality of the visuals on this iPad Pro. Some have even inguired about purchasing one. I actually, have one student who brings her older iPad pro and magic pencil, to our painting class, where she draws on her iPad, with her pencil. What amazing creations she produces! She inspired me to but one. I'm now looking at the Zugu case, as an option to protect the iPad. You won't be disappointed with this purchase!

She is an Apple User.
I purchased, the Apple IPad 2TB for my wife's Christmas gift. It was purchased to replace her 8yrs old IPad (she takes care of all her devices). It arrived a day early and she loves it. I purchased a screen protector and magnetic case for it. She attaches it to the refrigerator and plays music, displays recipes, watches videos, takes pictures, videos and so much more. The Battery Life is great.
This investment has been well worth it. The pictures are fantastic, the sound quality is excellent and the speed is great.
The size is perfect for carrying around and I will be adding a wireless keyboard and mouse.

detailedReviews 55: content: I bought this for my fiancé who is an artist and the art capabilities are superior to anything “ trying” to compete with it. It’s like back in the day (late 90s/early 2000s) when I myself was in art school and the IMac had recently just come out and all they were known for was creating art and design. I would highly recommend this. It’s a wonderful tool and gift. you won’t be disappointed. it can also double as a laptop when coupled with the magic keyboard which, I also bought her and she’s over the moon about it! ;) I also recommend getting the one terabyte memory for it as well. It is truly a superior piece of equipment to anything like it and honestly man, it just looks so slick it’s awesome!

detailedReviews 56: content: last time i had an ipad was 2018 but got rid of it within months of purchasing because the LCD screens sucked and iphone X had me spoiled with OLED screens. So year after year of new ipads and still no OLED screens all i could do was wait but finally in 2024 ipad pro has OLED and it looks stunning well worth the wait, no other tablet screen can compare to this ipad its beautiful the color the true blacks are amazing! Its way overpowered for a tablet no need for all that power atleast for me, its just an entertainment device to consume content, and no better screen than this one for that. Love how light it is, didnt have to be thinner but its apple being apple, the design still feels premium as ever and couldnt be happier with this device. Even though the design has been the same for the last few years cant complain its still a very beautiful device. Speakers on the ipad pro 11 inch are great even though i wont use them as much as i prefer headphones when it comes to watching movies and listening to music. Thunderbolt 4 is cool like i said havent had an ipad in years so not sure if its new but very handy when i want to use mutiple scrren and i can hook it up to my monitor. Great device overall despite the price spike its worth every penny and it was definitely worth the wait!

Very rude and acted as though he did not see me when I approached as he was sitting on (yes i said sitting) on the front table or desk. Whatever it was he was sitting on was right inside the front door where the large tv was being displayed. customer service was eating candy out of a bag as I was trying to get help. So overall the product from apple is great. The store itself needs to get rid of that rude sloppy manager. white male, probably in his 40's he had a cheap tribal tattoo on his right forearm and a name tattooed on left forearm. Get that guy out. He adds no value to best buy.

detailedReviews 58: content: I loved my large old iPad but couldn't use a Pencil Pro on it.
As an artist I want to try using this "new" medium which has greatly improved since I first tried an ipencil.
I had had to borrow my son's iPad Pro and pencil to draw over photos for our foreign builders. The drawings were indispensable for explaining what needed doing. A picture speaks a 1000 words!
We have some more work to do and this time I wanted my own iPad Pro and pencil!
Images are crisp, come up quickly and the screen goes to the edges.
You do need to get decent protection for it and I found a good looking German cover.
Very pleased with my purchase!

detailedReviews 59: content: Paired to an M4 iPad Pro 13, it’s the perfect companion to truly turn your tablet experience into a fully realized computer experience. The keyboard is large enough to type comfortably once you get used to the key arrangement, and it’s definitely a plus that you can not only protect your iPad from damage, use a USB-C pass-through to charge your tablet, but also allow your viewing experience to adjust on a slight swivel (although limited).
The only con is not being able to fully collapse the keyboard and case to 180-degree angle for a full booklet experience, but this is a minor gripe. The keyboard itself includes all of the necessary function keys and is illuminated. The trackpad is wide and very responsive, too! Moreover, it’s the sleek sensation of the whole case that makes it feel premium, adding another layer to the experience of owning the new iPad.
The main stickler for most people will be the price for protection and keyboard functionality, but there really isn’t anything else that complements the iPad so well. Either way, you won’t be disappointed in your investment once you take the plunge to grab this absolutely necessary accessory.

The black cable (with the black iPad ) has a usb c at each end..
There is no big button on the iPad for fingerprint scanning just face recognition.
The iPad is full screen with only a thin border round it.
The new iPad is very smart and easy to use .
The iPad is very thin and lightweight I love it .
The last time I bought an iPad was 2016 and I still use it today ,it is the iPad Pro 9.7.
I was well overdue for a new iPad .
It was easy to transfer the information from my old iPad to my new one via Bluetooth .
You just enter a code on the new one .
It is not right that you have to buy a wall plug when spending nearly £1000.00 on a iPad

This version is extremely light, and the new nano texture glass is a game changer. When I am singing I can adjust the iPad position to reduce glare but when I conduct I always have to move my head and body to avoid the glare. Since I purchased the new nano screen I have noticed that the "glare" has been miniscule, and I no longer have to shimmy around trying to avoid it. Despite the heavier price tag this feature is worth it. The pictures show the difference between my old iPad and the nano texture.

detailedReviews 62: content: Bought this to replace my 2018 iPad Pro 11". It's good, lovely screen, quicker processor power and slightly slimmer and lower weight, but given it's six years later the changes are not as marked as I was expecting. Especially the battery, which is fine, gets you though the day ok but only lasts a bit longer than my old one. I guess the device I bought in 2018 was just superb and it's difficult to improve on it? But the extra power will ensure it lasts another 6 years and I can get access to AI which my old one could not. I have knocked off an extra star as having only bought this a week ago in the sale. JL have since knocked off another £35! Can I claim it back?

detailedReviews 64: content: The M4 Apple iPad is so thin and light that it is even more a natural extension of the human hand than before. At first I was skeptical about Apple making the iPad even thinner when they could have upped the battery size, but now that I have used it handheld extensively, the new, skinnier iPad really makes a difference when I am holding it handheld, which is a lot. The new Magic Keyboard is great too, expecially the row of function keys at the top. They really make the keyboard much more of a laptop replacement than before. The larger, more professional trackpad helps here too. What doesn't make as much of a difference to me is the screen. I mean, it is amazing, but so was the old one, and side by side in a typical setting, I cannot tell the difference. The speakers are both equally good between the new iPad and my 2021 iPad as well. Both excellent. The new Apple Pencil Pro is somewhat better for artists, or for those who use it a lot, but I don't think most people will notice much. I hope that Apple will take advantage of the speed of the new M4 processor, but so far, I cannot tell any difference between the M4 and my older iPad.

detailedReviews 65: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 66: content: It may sound trivial but to me it was important. I use an I pad a lot for reading, communication, banking, purchasing, and research. As a person who does a fair amount of practical work, often my hands, and more importantly my fingerprint changes. So I was constantly having to type in the security code. This I pad has facial recognition which is so useful for access, banking, and general use.It makes life so much easier. The only criticism is minor, but I wish they had placed the camera at the top of the pad in portrait mode. I hold the pad in my right hand which obscures the camera. If I used it in landscape mode the camera would be at the top.Its a minor criticism but it can be a bit of a nuisance.

The Magic Keyboard is extremely nice if expensive although for me if worth every penny given the quality and expanded functionality of the iPad. This device is a bit overkill for a tablet but it will last you for years and years to come given how much hardware power it has. Battery life is very good and much better than my iPad Air was. Durability is probably a touch fragile but what do you expect from a device this thin if you don’t put it in something to protect it. Was on the fence about buying this for forever but can say i have zero regrets.

Granted, I’m not the most savvy tech person with apps but it’s handled more taking and photo editing very well. I’m sure to be more impressed when iOS 18 releases soon since it’s supposed to unlock more cool features. You can’t go wrong with this iPad Pro.

This is Not a watered down product like the past 5 iPhones basically a new number and an insignificant feature. I had the 12.9 pro 1st gen and pencil there isn’t a comparison also the size and weight of the new M4 is unbelievable. I actually kept it in spots away from hard surfaces in fear of breaking the screen or iPad itself. The only downfall so far is there aren’t any good cases available yet I bought the best non-Apple case Best Buy offers currently and it has a couple issues one corner the plastic won’t clip over the screen. I gave it decent force but again don’t want to crack either the case or screen. The wake/sleep feature doesn’t function and reviews on the case point that out. Definitely buy AppleCare as my old pro took many small drops but one time from my lap to the floor with a case and cracked the glass in one corner. Fix was $400+ and wasn’t worth it at that point so I got rid of it.

detailedReviews 74: content: I upgraded from the 11” iPad Air M1 to the 13” iPad Pro M4 with the intention of also replacing the MacBook Pro I wasn’t often using. On the other hand, I use my iPad almost more than my phone. The Magic Keyboard is the piece that really brings this idea together nicely.
I’ll admit, I didn’t use the previous ‘soft touch’ models, however the new aluminum one feels like typing on a MacBook. The function row is great, the track pad is big and it just feels great to use.
My only ‘cons’ are that the iPad is a little top heavy so if it’s in your lap on the couch/bed/recliner, and can want to tip over if your hand isn’t on the wrist rest area. Also, the aluminum looks and feels great, but you have to be careful not to scratch either device with metal to metal contact.
All in all I’m very happy with my purchase and ultimately deciding to give up my MacBook in favor of this setup. I hope to see some more function from iPad OS 18, but am just as happy is that doesn’t happen.
Oh, one last thing. It’s very expensive for a keyboard. It’s still, just a keyboard. That isn’t functional wirelessly (the dream).

title: Great keyboard, happy with setup, replaced MacBook
detailedReviews 75: content: I bought this particular iPad with cellular for my business because I want the safety of running credit card transactions through the cellular network instead of a local WiFi.I transitioned to using an iPad with my business in 2010 and this iteration is the best one yet! Keeping all my records in iCloud, I’ve been able to transition to a new tool with little annoyances being forgotten passwords (haha). I am so glad that I waited for this iPad with the M4 chip. It is much quicker and has actually enticed me to draw again, but instead or charcoal/paper I’m using the iPad. It doesn’t feel like pencil to paper for me, but you can change the pen stroke effect and get the results you’re looking for.
This iPad is a workhorse and appropriate for anyone using it for business.

Using it for Canva and Adobe Illustrator has been an absolute delight—the processing speed and display quality make designing seamless and enjoyable. The Apple Pencil also deserves special mention; it's incredibly responsive and feels natural, making it perfect for detailed work. Overall, the iPad M4 is a fantastic tool for creative professionals and anyone looking to enhance their digital workflow. Highly recommend!

detailedReviews 77: content: The M4 iPad Pro is an absolutely gorgeous device. The screen is phenomenal, it is impossibly thin, and blazing fast. From a hardware stand point, the iPad Pro is simply unmatched by anything else on the market. Unfortunately, that hardware is drastically limited by iPadOS. While iPadOS has come a long ways, it is still very limited when compared to macOS, and as such you end up wasting a lot of the hardware potential.
That's not to say the iPad isn't a good device - in fact it's a great one! But you need to fully understand what and who it's made for, and the tradeoffs you make using iPadOS.

title: Gorgeous device, phenomenal screen, blazing fast
detailedReviews 78: content: For various reasons I've been in the Mac and Windows camps for the past several years. I've gone back and forth on which I'll use more, and can use either for creative. There are a couple of apps that I've kept the Mac around for and felt that I could do everything else on a nice Windows laptop.
The tradeoffs of Mac vs Windows laptops are probably obvious to most who would read this review. Windows laptops come in so many wonderful varieties, including 2-in-1s and touchscreens. OLEDs and Mini-LEDs. Thin and Lights and bulkier tho still svelte models with super powerful discrete graphics cards. I really have loved many of them.
And on the Macbook side, we have flaw-less M1, 2, 3 and now 4 silicon with flaw-less hardward, but hard and set rules. Laptops cannot be touch screen or 2-in-1, because that would canibalize the iPad and iPhones. iPads are not to run MacBook OS, for the same reasons. And, really, flaw-less. Long battery life, just close the lid when you are pausing your work and it will be right there when you resume.
I thought that Snapdragon X silicon based Windows machines would bring some of that to Windows laptops. I purchased the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x with high hopes. Yes, svelte and beautiful. My favorite Windows laptop ever, what an OLED display. It rivals the OLED on this iPad. 1,000 NITs, so color accurate. Close the lid, come back in a day or two, and pick up right where you left off.
BUT... so many incompatibilities. Programmers are busy writing code as we speak. At first there was no way to check the drivers and update then, but after a few days there was a new program to do it. No communitations, Qualcomm is in complete denial, the OEMs are running into issues they did not expect, and... Maybe they will get it together, some day. So, back to Best Buy.
Thank you Best Buy for your great Best Buy Total program and your liberal return privilege! You guys are amazing.
So I finally did it. I purchased this sweet iPad Pro 11 M4 edition, put it on my T-Mobile 5G network, and it is a dream. I'll need to carry it along with my MacBook Pro M2 Pro base edition, but it makes a great secondary display. And for coffee shops, for zoom calls, it's perfect. We'll find more uses. Only 2.2 lbs including the keyboard and Apple pencil, and so cute! Keyboard is great, funcionality is great for an iPad. No expectations that it will replace the MacBook, just that it will be a wonderful companion.
Battery life is great, the display is amazing, the speaker are great. In fact I am so "GREAT-Full" for and with this little guy.
And? No more Windows laptops. The last one has been sold. I've lost that bug. Maybe we'll have one in the future, maybe Intel's next gen really will be a breakthrough on efficiency, I'll check it out. But, for now, I'm complete with Windows. I've just today received my new iPhone 15 Pro, and the very nice Google Pixel Pro 8 has gone in its box. Who knows, maybe I'll even stop using Chrome. Nahhh... not so fast.
Thank you Apple. For such a flaw-less and beautiful iPad Pro.

detailedReviews 79: content: The 13" screen on this iPad is *nice*, and it is fast. Unlike other tablets, iPad's OS has a great selection of apps. I primarily chose to get a new iPad (instead of, for example, upgrading my MacBook) because I currently wear bifocal glasses, which means I can only see from "reading distance" (or far distance, like 10' away) and a laptop cannot easily be placed at reading distance but an i Pad can easily be held at reading distance. I can use it to read books (Kindle, Libby library app, O'Reilly, Percipio, Apple Books apps), magazines (via Magzter, Apple News+, or Libby library app), take online courses (Coursera, O'Reilly, Pluralsight, Percipio), practice handwriting (using 'Writey' app-- with the pencil pro, my handwriting with a regular pen has already improved), watch tv/movies (Optimum app, Max, Netflix, Paramount+, Peacock, Hulu, Disney+, etc.) or play games (including via Netflix games, Apple Arcade). I use this Pad more than I have used any other tablet (including my prior 9th generation iPad or My Samsung Galaxy Tab 7FE). I had traded in an older Macbook (I still have a newer one) towards this to make the price more reasonable, it wasn't being used anyway.

After using it for awhile, I see why all the reviews are so high. Excellent keyboard with great tactile feel. The screen positioning is limited but enough for my use. I had a 2nd gen pro and bought various cases and keyboards and probably spent more totally than the cost of this one. At least when I charge my ipad, it also charges the keyboard. Thats a plus!

detailedReviews 81: content: I bought this primarily as a means to organize my school life, and to be used in conjunction with my MacBook as a second display. It has delivered on all fronts while being absolutely gorgeous and literally as thin as possible (the width of the usb-c port).
I have seen a lot of OLED screens, and this is the best one. Not only is it incredibly punchy and dynamic, it is also very bright. Most OLEDs top out at 1000 nits of peak - this screen does 1000 nits in SDR and 1600 with HDR! Insane.
I hope that in the coming WWDC we get an iPadOS makeover that gives it greater functionality so that I can use it more in place of my MacBook.

detailedReviews 82: content: It’s the little details that separate products these days. This tablet offers so many of these details. Incredible typing experience, smoking fast processor, beautiful screen for any and all applications, ultimate portability, excellent speakers, best unlock in the industry, etc. Center stage for video calls, etc. I had a 9th generation base iPad that was a good tablet and value, this takes it to a much higher level. Yes it’s expensive but you truly get what you pay for here. I joined the Best Buy plus membership to basically get my membership free. The perks and added value further make this a no brainer. In context the top of the line 13” is double the cost of the 11” base model. The 11” pro is not base in any way in any configuration. I’m not an apple fan boy but this product stands 100% on its performance. Ultimate tablet experience further value justified by the little details. This tablet checks every box and is a joy to use.

detailedReviews 83: content: I traded my 5th gen M1 iPad 12.9 in for this one, and I have to say it’s a big improvement. Just the difference in weight and bulk makes it worthwhile upgrading. In addition, the 1000/1600 nits of brightness that this one offers is a game changer when you’re trying to view the screen in sunlight. Not everyone does, but I use mine for work reasons and find myself in sunny conditions trying to read the screen more often than not. The OLED screen is a nice added bonus, too. I put the Otterbox Defender Pro case on it and it’s a nice way to protect it (including the expensive screen). Very happy…

Also like how they moved the face ID to the side of the iPad instead of the top. I have a 12.9” 6th gen pro and my finger is always coving the face ID, not a problem for him.
I only have 2 cons:
-Price, thats just an apple thing really.
-having to get a new apple pencil is also really stupid. His 2nd gen pencil worked just fine but because apple changed where the magnets are on the ipad he has to get a new pencil, stupid.

detailedReviews 85: content: The Apple iPad Pro (11-inch, 2024) with M4 and cellular offers a stunning OLED display, lightning-fast M4 chip, and 5G connectivity, making it ideal for professionals and heavy multitaskers. Its vibrant visuals, seamless performance, and excellent speakers cater to work and entertainment needs. However, its premium features may exceed what casual users require, and its price reflects that. In my opinion, the screen quality alone makes it worth the investment.
I debated getting the 1TB nano-textured screen but decided in the end it was too much, i.e., didn't need 1TB of storage and got this with a ESR screen protector, to reduce glare outside.

detailedReviews 94: content: This keyboard is made for iPad. It has a direct connection so there is no lag on typing, the area where you rest your wrist is metal which is much better than the previous generation feel (felt fluffy ish), the keyboard lights up to see the keys,it’s easy to type on without making any mistakes when typing, and the keyboard keys are not compacted to the point where it’s difficult to type on (of course this better be for a 13 inch tablet, smaller tablets the keyboard keys usually feel more cramped but this 13 inch ipad keyboard is perfect). I have a few concerns which deducted to 4 stars. First, it’s top heavy. You cannot use this very well on your lap without it falling backwards. The magnet is strong, but I doubt it’ll hold if you drop the iPad within the keyboard case. The corners are not protected from drops. The ipad magnet case bends so you can arch the ipad for better viewing, but I doubt the case will hold with repeated bend and high use (only time can tell on this). The cost is insane, but it’s a quality keyboard and you are paying for the name. Overall if you use it for typing, this is a great keyboard and compact. If you only type once in awhile, it’s better to get a case that protects the corners and a bluetooth keyboard to use when you need to type. If you type a lot, then this iPad keyboard is a no brainer.

title: Great keyboard, but top heavy and expensive
detailedReviews 95: content: I had a 2018 iPad Pro that had a cracked screen and it was due for a replacement. In the past, I've used my iPad as my go-to device when doing basic things - web browsing, news, email, weather, watching movies and streaming media. Very basic use case that is applicable to most consumers. Since my iPad was cracked, I went back to using my Macbook. I'm glad that I got my new iPad because I can put the Macbook away!
Pros:
1.) It does feel more responsive when multitasking. I've done split screen on the iPad with the browser, Notes, and Messenger. Given that it's an M4, it could probably be a mini-laptop when paired with the extremely expensive Magic Keyboard and a Pencil.
2.) The screen is clearer, brighter, and sharper
3.) The speakers sound a lot better (though I do tend to use Airpods most of the time).
4.) The camera is fantastic and sharp. Granted, I use my iPhone 15 as my day-to-day camera, but I tested out the iPad camera and it puts out high quality pics.
5.) The 5G is great especially on those long car rides, work commutes, or you don't have access to wifi. It's extremely fast, and I can't tell the difference whether I'm on 5G or on a wifi connection.
Cons:
1.) The camera used for FaceID or web-camming on the main screen is now on right-hand middle side of iPad as opposed to the top. I use FaceID all of the time when logging into sites and find that I'm blocking the cam because of the way that I hold the iPad on the sides in portrait mode (as one typically does). This means that you need to do Facetime with the iPad in landscape mode. This will take some adjusting to, but when I Facetime, I'm so used to holding my iPad in portrait mode.
2.) Battery life doesn't feel like it lasts as long as I recall from my previous iPad. It could be a number of factors (running multiple apps, screen brightness, streaming, having WiFi, Cellular, Bluetoon on at the same time, etc.), but I don't use the iPad any differently than I did with my 2018 iPad. I recently used it on a 3h car ride intermittently on 5G on medium brightness setting doing web browsing, mail, and social media, and it burned through the battery life pretty quickly. I need to poke around some more, but I couldn't find an "Optimized Battery" setting on the iPad.
Because of the latter two Cons, I'm giving it a 4, though I'd probably bump it up to a 4.5. Am I glad I got it? Yes. If you have a 2018 or older iPad, I definitely recommend upgrading.

detailedReviews 96: content: I have the 11in iPad Air Gen 5 and the Magic Keyboard for that too, so I have a feel for the keyboards and when I saw this “excellent” grade as an Outlet deal for my 13in M4 at the local Best Buy - I thought ‘why not.’
First off, I can imagine that this a purchase and return due to the price - had a few fingerprints but no signs of wear so the “excellent” condition was legit.
It’s all aluminum palm rest was a nice change and the ability to click anywhere on the trackpad, vs the corner you’re supposed to is also pretty sweet.
A new row of buttons for the 13in version is great - especially the volume and app switcher. Even with the new row of buttons, the hinge change lets the iPad float further back and up higher allowing easier access to that row of buttons. There’s also a nice tight close - no way this is opening up accidentally.
Keeping the USB-C on the same side (left when facing it) is consistent and I love consistency.
But, the price tag is - insulting - to me. There’s no way I would have spent full price - especially after spending nearly $2000 on the iPad itself.
Thank goodness for the outlet.
So, I do recommend it - even though it’s way over-priced.

title: Excellent keyboard, but way over-priced
detailedReviews 97: content: I recently decided my 2nd gen 13-inch iPad Pro was reaching the end of its proper life cycle. I generally use my iPad for both work and pleasure, constantly updating and highlighting PDF documents, replying to emails on the go, as a great Keynote remote for my Macbook, and when traveling it stores movies and series from my streaming services as well as working as a screen for in flight entertainment.
Due to the price, I decided to go with the smaller iPad Pro (I preferred the M4 chip 11-inch versus the previous gen 13-inch pro) and I'm glad I did. I've had it for just over a month and it's been fantastic. Amazingly fast and responsive, and the screen is simply beautiful. I thought I would miss the larger size but it's the exact opposite. The keyboard layout (I have the Magic Keyboard) has been made so the keys are full-size yet optimized for the limited space, and because it's lighter than my previous gen model, it's great while on the go. All apps are significantly more responsive and battery life is amazing.
My only disappointment with the newest Pro is that my 2nd gen Apple Pencil does not work with it (I didn't read the reviews, so my bad) but other than this it's definitely worth the upgrade.

detailedReviews 98: content: As far as using the tablet, as a tablet, I don't have any accessories yet, it's 5 stars. I gave it 4 stars because it is expensive and imo Apple Care is a must for it so add that in. Good news is Best Buy had it on sale. I got the 11" Pro b/c I wanted a tablet, not a laptop replacement. I wanted a really nice display and I thought the 4 speakers would sound a little better than 2, and it comes with 256GB storage standard. Which I need because I have a fairly large music collection I like to keep on device for travel, no need to use wifi if I just want to listen to music. I wasn't prepared for the speakers, something this thin and light shouldn't sound so good but it does. I always connect my phone or my old Lenovo tablet to a BT speaker when listening to music or a Podcast, but the Pro honestly sounds better! Battery life so far is really good a couple of days in my use. The display is obviously bright and amazing and Apple does color really well so it's realistic not overly saturated. I plan to get the Magic Keyboard, or maybe Logitech, and the pencil. In a few months once the iPad Pro itself is paid for. I usually shop for value, but this time I splurged and I'm glad I did. Well done Apple!

detailedReviews 99: content: This rating is for the Magic Keyboard, Apple as well as Bestbuy. The product is great until it works. It’s a great keyboard for the iPad and I got it at a great price from Bestbuy. Many of these have had reliability and quality issues with keyboard not working or delayed typing or track pad not working.
Tried to reach out for support to Bestbuy as I got it from here but was asked to check with Apple as the keyboard was still under warranty. Fair deal. Chatter with Apple and was told that this might require a replacement. Upon asking if the replacement part will be new, was informed that it sort of will be but it’s not for retail sale. Again fair deal. Given two options to either replace via mail get charged for the amount wait for 10-15 days until the defective keyboard is inspected and held amount credited back. Other option was to go to the Apple Store and get it done in person.
Decided to get an appointment and went to the Apple Store. Sat for 20 mins for someone to come and once again check me in even though I was checked in. Another one comes to finally help after another wait for 15 mins. Basically does nothing, gives a snarky smile and tells me they don’t have “the parts” to replace the keyboard. I mean there were several brand new keyboards around being sold in store so that’s what bothered me. Tells me that he will “order” the part as they don’t have one in store and it will take 10-15 days to come and then another trip for me to pick it up. When I told him that the mail in option was actually faster, once again gives a snarky laugh to ask if I’d like to use mail service instead as that would prevent another trip to the Apple Store. Walked away wasting 2 hrs of my life. Just the worst customer service from Apple. Luckily a Bestbuy store was around the corner. I checked my purchase date and still had time to return the keyboard. Walked in the store, told the person at checkout what happened and was promptly attended. The guy at Bestbuy was amazing. Told me no need to worry about it, we will deal with Apple.

title: Great keyboard, but terrible Apple customer service
detailedReviews 100: content: I really wanted to keep this device because the big screen is amazing. But had to exchange it for the 11” because the web doesn’t seem prepared for it yet. Every time I went back to what was I working on Safari, I had to restart Safari because the page got all scrambled. It’s like it had forgotten the configuration of how to display the very page it was open 5 minutes prior. For the price point, it was not an annoyance I was willing to put up with. Why not the MacBook Air then? Because I really wanted the apps from the App Store to use on long flights, to easily get my offline downloads, which I can’t do on my MacBook pro and wouldn’t be able to either on an MacBook Air either. After exchanging it for the iPad 11” pro, I’ve not had the issues I was having with the 13” pro. But I’m sad to not have the big screen anymore. Bottom line: if you don’t do much work on Safari, 13” inch screen is AMAZING. If you are planning on using Safari a lot not only the Apps, just know you might encounter issues. Best Buy, please add a “maybe” option to the “would you recommend this device” :)

title: Amazing 13" screen, but Safari issues
detailedReviews 101: content: Great device. It's light enough that you could comfortably use it like a tablet (even in one hand) along with a glass screen protector and a clear case. It feels snappy and quick thanks to that processor and Pro Motion. This device is massively hindered by the OS. They need to do alot of quality-of-life improvements on it. It don't even have a split keyboard on this thing and my Ipad Mini has it so typing on tablet mode is a bit tiring. Stage manager feels half baked too that kinda makes the large screen (compared to my Ipad Mini) unappealing. Its also still annoyingly aggresive in its memory optimization that it sometimes kills off apps in the background - like its M4 and 8 gigs ram, so why? Overall, if you could wait for the new Ipad Mini and not need any of the pro stuff, I would suggest to hold off. I would still recommend it but I wish they improve the OS.

detailedReviews 102: content: Great iPad! What is there not to like? I give this product 4 stars, because it’s brand new and works.
This iPad is replacing my iPad Pro (4 years old) which after apples update last October (2023) was “bricked.”
My issue is with Apple not taking responsibility for frying my old iPad Pro which was never dropped or damaged, and didn’t have a single scratch on it. The Genius Bar techs even commented that my iPad looked brand new, but they weren’t able to connect to it to troubleshoot. I called Apple many times to resolve the issue but they refused to acknowledge that their update caused the issue. Again, my old iPad Pro stopped working immediately after the last update was completed, which is pushed down from Apple! I hope it doesn’t happen with this iPad, and if it does, I will post about it. I have read that others had similar issues and it begs the question is Apple playing a dangerous game with consumers to get them to buy or replace old products? It’s illegal! Consumers beware!

detailedReviews 103: content: I recently purchased a 55-inch Samsung TV from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! The website was super easy to navigate, and I found exactly what I wanted with clear specs and pricing. I opted for in-store pickup, and when I arrived, the staff were friendly and had my order ready in minutes. The employee even offered to help me load it into my car, which was a nice touch. The TV itself is fantastic—great picture quality and worth every penny. I also appreciate the My Best Buy rewards program; earning points on this purchase felt like a bonus. Overall, great selection, smooth process, and excellent customer service. I’ll definitely be shopping here again! And will definitely love and appreciate if I can get the $400 gift cards too

detailedReviews 104: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

detailedReviews 105: content: Apple has decided to not include a wall plug anymore. For a price of £999.00 i was expecting a wall charger I have had to buy a apple 20 watt plug / charger separately
The black cable (with the black iPad ) has a usb c at each end..
There is no big button on the iPad for fingerprint scanning just face recognition.
The iPad is full screen with only a thin border round it.
The new iPad is very smart and easy to use .
The iPad is very thin and lightweight I love it .
The last time I bought an iPad was 2016 and I still use it today ,it is the iPad Pro 9.7.
I was well overdue for a new iPad .
It was easy to transfer the information from my old iPad to my new one via Bluetooth .
You just enter a code on the new one .
It is not right that you have to buy a wall plug when spending nearly £1000.00 on a iPad

detailedReviews 106: content: Bought this to replace my 2018 iPad Pro 11". It's good, lovely screen, quicker processor power and slightly slimmer and lower weight, but given it's six years later the changes are not as marked as I was expecting. Especially the battery, which is fine, gets you though the day ok but only lasts a bit longer than my old one. I guess the device I bought in 2018 was just superb and it's difficult to improve on it? But the extra power will ensure it lasts another 6 years and I can get access to AI which my old one could not. I have knocked off an extra star as having only bought this a week ago in the sale. JL have since knocked off another £35! Can I claim it back?

detailedReviews 107: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 108: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 109: content: It may sound trivial but to me it was important. I use an I pad a lot for reading, communication, banking, purchasing, and research. As a person who does a fair amount of practical work, often my hands, and more importantly my fingerprint changes. So I was constantly having to type in the security code. This I pad has facial recognition which is so useful for access, banking, and general use.It makes life so much easier. The only criticism is minor, but I wish they had placed the camera at the top of the pad in portrait mode. I hold the pad in my right hand which obscures the camera. If I used it in landscape mode the camera would be at the top.Its a minor criticism but it can be a bit of a nuisance.

detailedReviews 110: content: It’s the little details that separate products these days. This tablet offers so many of these details. Incredible typing experience, smoking fast processor, beautiful screen for any and all applications, ultimate portability, excellent speakers, best unlock in the industry, etc. Center stage for video calls, etc. I had a 9th generation base iPad that was a good tablet and value, this takes it to a much higher level. Yes it’s expensive but you truly get what you pay for here. I joined the Best Buy plus membership to basically get my membership free. The perks and added value further make this a no brainer. In context the top of the line 13” is double the cost of the 11” base model. The 11” pro is not base in any way in any configuration. I’m not an apple fan boy but this product stands 100% on its performance. Ultimate tablet experience further value justified by the little details. This tablet checks every box and is a joy to use.

detailedReviews 111: content: In hindsight I wish I would have just gotten a cheaper case and keyboard separately. The keyboard is not well integrated into the case. So when opening the case I feel like I am having to juggle the keyboard, case, and ipad. I also wish that the case had the option for the ipad to sit at a lower angle. I bought this as a cheaper alternative to apple's magic keyboard, but now I will be buying another basic case and just keeping the keyboard to use when I need it. The outer material of this case also marks easily.

detailedReviews 112: content: Bought as a Christmas gift for my BF. He loves it! He draws on it, plays games, and watches YT. The OLED display really does look beautiful. Also like how they moved the face ID to the side of the iPad instead of the top. I have a 12.9” 6th gen pro and my finger is always coving the face ID, not a problem for him.
I only have 2 cons:
-Price, thats just an apple thing really.
-having to get a new apple pencil is also really stupid. His 2nd gen pencil worked just fine but because apple changed where the magnets are on the ipad he has to get a new pencil, stupid.

detailedReviews 113: content: I was going to swear off Apple tablets, even tho (before I finally got the tablet I truly wanted) I knew that when it comes to a perfect tablet for most people, the iPad wins.
When I heard that the M4 (and yes, if you read my review about my bad luck with the M-chips in their laptops) was going into the iPad Pro first I had to dip my toes into the fruit's pool to see how kick-butt this tablet was.
I wasn't disappointed...but like a great movie that was too short, i ended up being so anyway.
Light, thin, about as powerful as most modern laptops (only held back by iPadOS) this thing truly was beautiful. While the way iPadOS (comapred to something like the Galaxy TAB S9, its closest competitor) handles multitasking is a matter if you like it or not, there was nothing (photo editing, for example) it could't handle...
...except staying up late.
For what this thing cost, the battery life was abysmal. 7-8 hours on a good day, then time to plug it in. Now don't get me wrong, it isn't like it shut off in 15 minutes, but considering the tablet I settled up with gave me at least 4 hours more of time and I only charged it every few days, it was a dealbreaker for me (I figured charigng it every day wouldn't get me the 3-4 years something like this should last ain't gonna let the battery last that long).
Ended up returning it.

detailedReviews 114: content: There isn’t anything quite like this device so it’s hard to compare it if you’re just getting tablets to watch stuff this is the wrong category frankly you’re better off with a cheaper Samsung or a cheaper iPad depending on what your mobile device of preferences is.
This is advice for tablet, enthusiast, and people who like to use their iPad pros for professional purposes that’s why you pay the extra for the added storage and ram and slightly updated CPU. The real competition for this device is the base M4 iPad Pro and that’s where the value really is. This upgrades model is a powerful device however you come away feeling like you don’t know why you paid the extra. Especially since that extra is so much money. I had deals to bring down the price and wanted to experience this for my self. So I knew what I was getting into sold two previous tablets and had a ton of rewards points and even I am wondering if by the time I realize the potential of this device it will have been cheaper to just put the money into the next tablet.
If I was just reviewing the tablet on its own I’d give it 4 stars. The speakers aren’t as good as m1 iPad Pro but they’re close. I deducted star bc the value isn’t there for the ram and storage cost and the slight cpu bump.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 123: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 124: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 125: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 126: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 144: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 145: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 146: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 165: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 166: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 167: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 185: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 186: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 187: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 188: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 206: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 207: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 208: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 209: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 227: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 228: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 229: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 247: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 248: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 249: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 250: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 267: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 268: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 269: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 270: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 288: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 289: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 290: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 309: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 310: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 311: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 329: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 330: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 331: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 332: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 350: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 351: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 352: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 353: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 371: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 372: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 373: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 391: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 392: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 393: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

detailedReviews 394: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 411: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 412: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 413: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 414: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 432: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 433: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 434: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 453: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 454: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 455: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 473: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 474: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 475: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 476: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 494: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 495: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 496: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 497: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 515: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 516: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 535: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 536: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 537: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 538: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 555: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 556: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 557: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 558: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 576: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 577: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 578: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 597: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 598: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 599: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 617: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 618: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 619: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 620: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 638: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 639: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 640: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 641: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 659: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 660: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 661: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 679: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 680: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 681: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 682: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 699: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 700: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 701: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 702: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 720: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 721: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 722: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 741: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 742: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 743: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 761: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 762: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 763: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 764: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 782: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 783: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 784: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 785: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 803: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 804: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 805: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 823: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 824: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 825: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 826: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 843: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 844: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 845: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 846: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 864: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 865: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 866: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 885: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 886: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 887: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 905: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 906: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 907: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 908: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 926: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 927: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 928: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 929: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 947: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 948: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 949: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 967: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 968: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 969: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 970: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 987: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 988: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 989: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 990: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 1008: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 1009: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1010: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 1029: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1030: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1031: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 1049: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1050: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1051: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 1052: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1070: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1071: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 1072: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1091: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 1092: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 1093: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1111: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 1112: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 1113: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1131: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 1132: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 1133: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1134: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1151: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 1152: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 1153: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1154: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 1172: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 1173: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1174: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 1193: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1194: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1195: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 1213: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1214: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1215: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 1216: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1234: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1235: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 1236: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1255: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 1256: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 1257: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1275: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 1276: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1295: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 1296: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 1297: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1298: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1315: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 1316: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 1317: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1318: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 1336: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 1337: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1338: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 1357: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1358: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1359: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 1377: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1378: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1379: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 1380: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1398: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1399: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 1400: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1419: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 1420: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 1421: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1439: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 1440: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 1441: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1459: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 1460: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 1461: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1462: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1479: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 1480: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 1481: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1482: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 1500: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 1501: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1502: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 1521: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1522: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1523: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 1541: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1542: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1543: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 1544: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1562: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1563: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 1564: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1583: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 1584: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 1585: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1603: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 1604: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1623: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 1624: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

detailedReviews 1625: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1626: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1643: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 1644: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 1645: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1646: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 1664: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 1665: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1666: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 1685: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1686: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1687: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 1705: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1706: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1707: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 1708: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Received wrong iPad, Best Buy unable to help
detailedReviews 1726: content: Best Buy Salt Lake City store tried to sale me an open box iPad for more then was listed online. When I showed them the price online. The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1727: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

detailedReviews 1728: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

The employee said it wasn’t the same one so I told him ok, well then I want the one they had listed online. He wouldn’t do it, I asked for a manager she wouldn’t do it either.
They kept making excuses.
So I said fine I’ll order it for pick and succeeded in purchasing it for the online price I just had to wander the store for an hour while they got it ready.
When I picked it up the box it was more damaged than the one I had seen earlier. I opened it, and the iPad was dirty and had a screen protector on it. Their where quite a few dust bubbles in the glass. I noticed what I thought was a large scratch. I thought ok maybe this isn’t the one I saw earlier.
I took a closer look and realized it wasn’t a scratch, it went all the way through. Separating the screen into two large pieces. I wondered if maybe with how thin it was, if maybe the thinner iPads where more fragile, so I went online expecting to see a bunch of people having issues with the screens breaking.
Instead I found people testing apples claim that the thinner iPads were just as durable as the older, thicker models. When I showed the iPad to Apple geniuses they told me. The ipad was deliberately broken, the box and iPad looked like it had been scratched, dropped, or stepped on.
The Best Buy had only shown one open box iPad of the model i purchased. I went out of my way giving Best Buy the benefit of the doubt, but it seems that when I went behind the managers back to get the iPad for the cheaper price. Someone damaged the iPad, in retaliation for not going along with them charging more in store, then what was posted online.
I know this is more a review of Best Buy the the iPad. But I think it’s important consumers know how the employees behaved. I liked the iPad, but kind of sick of apple continuously trying to drive the cost up on electronics. The iPad boast all this power but the apps all run about the same. As when I purchased my last new iPad before it started slowing down.
Only this iPad cost $200 more at launch than the last one. And it makes you but a whole new pencil at $129 making your old $129 dollar pencil, useless on the new iPad.
It’s more powerful, but I haven’t really seen a major reason why, it’s the same old apps and iOS limitations, that keep the iPad Pro, from getting the most out of its hardware.

title: iPad is good, but Best Buy service is bad
detailedReviews 1747: content: In the pursuit of making headlines for having the thinnest Apple device ever, Apple removed one of the most useful and convenient features of previous iPad pros: charging your pencil by simply attaching it to the magnets on the side of the case.
Now you have to travel with a USB C and inconveniently charge it with a cord instead of it always being a full power from being attached to the ipad like it used to be.
Removing actually useful features in your 'Pro' device so you can claim it's the thinnest ever (when nobody cares if their iPad is a few millimeters thinner) is the MOST Apple decision I think I've ever encountered. It's up there with their mice having the charging port on the bottom.
Also for all the power this thing has, the OS makes it pretty much useless overkill. If Apple ever stops deciding to be Apple and just puts their full Mac OS on here it would be a killer device, as is it's functionally exactly the same as a half decade old iPad Pro, just without the convenience of keeping your pencil charged.
Nobody ruins an Apple product quite like Apple.

title: Removed useful features for thinnest claim, OS limitations
detailedReviews 1748: content: I bought the new 13-inch iPad Pro M4 to replace my 11-inch iPad Air 3. I have been using a digital pen for years without any issue with my iPad Air and I bought the same one for my new iPad Pro. Right away there were problems with the new pen on the iPad Pro, so I tried my older pen. Same problems. I doesn't write smoothly and just stops working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing. I feel as though Apple is trying to force me into paying 5 times more for an Apple pen. Using a nonApple pen shouldn't be a problem, especially when the pen works fine with my iPad Air. So, I'm still using my iPad Air a lot more than I am using my new iPad Pro. Not seeing why I paid $1,400+ for it.

title: Pen compatibility issues, forcing Apple pen purchase
detailedReviews 1749: content: On 6/30/2024 I purchased this IPAD at Best Buy Buford. It wasn't available in store, so they told me they would deliver it to my house. A few days later I received an IPAD. A few months later I tried adding internet to the IPAD and I was not able to. I am an extremely busy person, I did not have the time to figure out why I couldn't add internet. It wasn't until a few months later that I realized that they had sent me the wrong IPAD. I went in store and spoke with the manager Jermaine who was not able to help me. He referred me to and 800 number. It is very unfortunate that they could not resolve this issue for me in store. I paid for an IPAD 11, which is several hundred dollars more than an IPAD 9. I have been a loyal customer of Best Buy for several years.
