People will definitely pay it given how pervasive Apple Card Monthly Installments are. I use this program myself despite (now) being able to purchase all of my Apple gear upfront. Why pay now when I can pay over time at 0% interest? As for this iPad, I definitely plan on upgrading to the OLED version, even at this price. My 12.9" iPad Pro has been my primary work computer since November. It replaced my M1 MacBook Pro full-time (in fact, I traded in the MacBook for the iPad and a Magic Keyboard). At the moment, it is mostly a dumb terminal into my Mac mini at home, which I connect into with Tailscale. (Tailscale is amazing; highly highly recommend it for anyone who wants to do this.). As long as I have an internet connection, I'm able to do almost everything I used to do with my MacBook. In fact, I can do more, since I can write on the screen (FANTASTIC for demos and presentations) and detach it from the keyboard during flights or use it on a seatback really comfortably. All signs point to this as being a temporary problem. I'm expecting to be able to do _everything_ I could do on my Pro in a few years. Zoom is a little annoying (I can share my screen, but I can't remote into people screens, which, fortunately, I don't need to do as often nowadays), I wish I could use external mics, and...struggling to think of anything else. The display on the mini-LED iPad Pro is great, but there is visible blooming around UI elements when you use it in dark areas, which is really annoying. I could imagine this being a deal-breaker for anyone that depends on color accuracy.
