The 2014 holiday shopping season saw some of the biggest markdowns seen on iPads in a long time. Generally, it is the previous year’s models that go on sale on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. But this year, even the newest 2014 models of the 9.7” iPad Air 2 and the 7.9” iPad Mini 3 with Retina Display were deeply discounted. The good news for day after Christmas shoppers is that some of these deals have made a strong comeback with price-cuts similar to those during pre-Christmas sales.After Christmas iPad Mini and iPad Air DEALS on this page summarizes year-end sales on iPad tablets and smart cases going on at different retailers.
The above page also lists current iPad case deals with up to 70% discounts. While some are on Bluetooth keyboard cases, others are on genuine leather iPad air cases and OtterBox defender series iPad cases made to resist rough use.
Go to http://TabletThings.com/iPad-Air-DEALS/ to find out the hottest Post-Christmas iPad deals on 2014 and 2013 models. It’s a recommended visit for anyone looking to take advantage of the ongoing after Christmas iPad deals.
The above page compares current online and in-store iPad prices at various retailers including but not limited to Best Buy, Walmart, Staples, and Target. While some of them are direct price-cuts, others involve free gift cards worth $30 - $50.
“The original price difference between the 2014 Apple iPad Air 2 and 2013 iPad Air was $100. However, thanks to the holiday discounts, the difference is down to about $50-60 now. This relatively small gap raises a big question among iPad shoppers. That is, whether to go with the newest model for an additional investment of $50-60 or whether to go with the 2013 model and save the extra cash” says Casey Donalds, a co-author of the above iPad deal reviews.
Anyone faced with the question of whether to go with the new iPad or last year’s iPad should carefully consider the differences between the two tablets and decide which model suits him or her best.
There are several differences between the 1st and 2nd generation iPad Air tablets, however, the major ones are (1) the faster processor, (2) bigger RAM, (3) fingerprint ID scanner, and (4) availability of the Air 2 in Champagne gold. For example, the A7 processor on the 1st generation iPad Air was a dual-core processor clocking at 1.4 GHz while the A8X on the Air 2 is a triple-core processor clocking at 1.5 GHz. Also, the new iPad has 2GB of RAM while the older model has only 1GB. As a result, the CPU performance of the Apple iPad Air 2 is supposedly 40% faster than the previous model.
“There’s no doubt that the new processor is faster, but the question is whether you need that extra speed. A lot of us use tablet computers for relatively minor tasks like checking email, reading online news, browsing the web, organizing ‘to do lists’, maintaining daily calendars etc. These types of tasks don’t consume a lot of processor and RAM. On the other hand, if you use a lot of graphic-based apps and play high-impact games, you will actually find the extra power of the iPad Air 2 useful” explains Donalds.
Current best iPad Mini 3 and Mini 2 Sales have also been made available for those who are interested in buying a new iPad Mini with retina display instead of the full-sized iPad Air. The above page also lists several markdowns on popular iPad Mini cases.
Again iPad Mini deals from different retailers are compared on the above page. Additionally, it provides a detailed comparison between the 2014 iPad Mini 3 and 2013 iPad Mini 2 with retina display.
