So, Apple did it again. Out with the old, in with the new… and a sneaky price drop to make it *allll* better, right? The iPad 9 is officially off the Apple store, leaving the iPad 10 as the new kid on the block, starting at RM1799. Now, I’ve always been a bit of an iPad fan. I remember getting my first one, the original iPad, and feeling like I was holding the future. Since then, I’ve upgraded a few times, and the iPad 9 was actually my jam for a while.
Don’t get me wrong, the iPad 10 has some shiny new features – A14 Bionic chip, USB-C, that fancy landscape camera. It’s a decent upgrade. But here’s the thing, when the iPad 9 launched at RM1499, it was a steal. A powerful, reliable tablet for everyday use. It felt honest, you know? Now, they’re pushing the iPad 10 with a price that feels a bit… off. Like they’re trying to make us forget about the value the iPad 9 offered.
And I can’t help but think, is this price drop for the iPad 10 just a clever way to clear out stock before the new iPad Air and iPad Pro really take over? Are we getting a good deal, or are we being nudged towards the pricier options? It’s enough to make a tech enthusiast like me wonder… Is Apple losing sight of what made the iPad great in the first place – accessible technology for everyone? Maybe I’m just being nostalgic for the good old days of the iPad 9. Maybe the iPad 10 will grow on me. But for now, I’m going to hold onto my trusty iPad 9 a little longer. What do you guys think? Is the iPad 10 worth the upgrade, or is this price drop just a marketing ploy? Let me know in the comments!
