With all the people complaining about this iPad not having Apple Intelligence, I feel like I’m in the minority who thinks this device is an insane value. I’m one to get the best for myself so I would never buy it, but I could easily recommend this device to other people without feeling like they’re getting a cheap device.

The people buying this don't transfer large files or even care that it's a thing.

If you don't need cellular absolutely but to add almost 50% to the price just to get 5G is wild.

Apple Intelligence is not all it’s cracked up to be. I was using Chat GPT before, and I still use it. I find it’s a lot easier to open the app rather than typing in use chat in writing tools. Image Playground is a joke. At this point no one is missing out. The only benefit of new Ai ready devices is better specs.
