They have to. The 11 inch 2021 iPad Pro M1 128gb (still enough memory for most people, but better screen with better contrast and pro-motion, face ID, lidar, cameras, M1 speed and more) is priced at $799 but has already been seen on Amazon for $749. Considering they have held the 2020 iPad Air 256gb on sale for a long time at $699 the $50 dollar difference to the sale price of the Pro was too small... most would go for the Pro at only $50 more.

The iPad Air is a great machine but it should be priced nearly $100 less across the board standard to separate it from the Pro.

This or 2018 refurb iPad Pro for light video and photo editing?
FWIW, the screen of an iPad Pro is much better - deeper blacks and better contrast & ProMotion. The only thing that is better on Air 4 is the TouchID, if this is useful for you.

The iPad Pro 11 with 128gb is still a better deal. You can usually find them on sale for $749.
