This is an incredible price on the 2018 12.9in iPad Pro

Yes, the iPad Pro it’s still pricey, but you get an awful lot of tablet for your money here

It’s not a great revelation to say that Apple products are expensive. They’re also very, very good and there’s a reason they’re rarely discounted: they don’t need to be sold cheap to fly off the shelves. So if you’ve been after the new iPad Pro, then this deal – while undeniably still pricey – is really worth considering.
 
Right now at ao.com, you can buy the 12.9in, 256GB iPad Pro for £919. Yes, that’s still a lot, but the same item will cost you £1,119 direct from Apple – so you’re looking at a saving of nearly 20%. That’s super rare when it comes to Apple products.
 
One word of warning: the original Apple Pencil isn’t compatible with the new range, so set aside another £119 for a second-gen one too, if you like to sketch.   
 
To be honest, you probably already know whether this deal is for you or not, but just in case, Jon had nothing but good things to say about the 2018 iPad Pro in his review. “Everywhere you look on the 2018 iPad Pro’s spec sheet, in fact, there’s a minor or a major upgrade, adding up to a huge step forward for the iPad Pro as a whole,” he wrote.
 

“It’s superfast and incredibly well made. It’s better in almost every conceivable way than the previous model and it even manages to beat Intel-based Windows 2-in-1 tablets for performance.”  
 
His only issues were the lack of flexibility compared to a regular laptop or convertible, and the high price of entry. The former may well still be an insurmountable barrier for you, but if it’s not, then the latter is no longer quite such a big issue.
