In two years Apple will have just released the iPad Air 4 / iPad Mini 5... how frequently do you replace your devices, because that doesn't sound "outdated as hell" to me - you'll be behind by a single full generation.
Personally, I have a 4S right now (with a 6+ arriving sometime next month) so... I obviously don't mind skipping a generation, since I skipped two.
Yes - most people keep their iPads much longer than their phones .... no need to upgrade every year or every other year.
A friend of mine just recently updated this first generation iPad (which was still good for him) to an iPad Air (he actually gave the 1st gen iPad to his wife who only wants to browse the web on it and it is good enough for that)
Not really free they charge you $10 a month for data whether you use it or not
They credit the $10 back to you every month for most of the tablets they sell. So yes, it is free.
It will be outdated as hell by the time you're finished paying it off.

Financing a $500 piece of technology is a financial no no.
Actually as it's a interest free loan - if you were going to buy the iPad it would make financial sense to take the 0% financing offer. Even if you're $630 would be sitting in a low interest checking/savings account the entire time you still make out ahead.

Only if your phone is also on T-Mobile. I used this for the retina mini spending $10 extra a month. So no not free.It will be outdated as hell by the time you're finished paying it off.

you aren't really financing it.
