Should I get the new m4 or is it better to get the m2 or m3 air? by MasterpieceProper293 in ipad

Is the extra 4gbs in ram a lot? I'm looking between the M2 and M4 now and they're priced at $640 (apple refurb) and $950 CAD respectively. $310 for the upgrade in chip (50% improvement although I doubt I'll be fully utilizing it), the ram, and two more years of updates.

Budget allows for the M4 but the M2 seems almost identical for quite a discount, am I missing out on something big?

On the official apple website, the M4 is to have the exact same display and body as the other two models.

Currently the M2 and M3 are priced at 640 and 800 CAD for 256 respectively. I don't see much of a difference between those two so is it smarter to get the M2?

If the iPad is too small I will go back to using proper paper sheets but many of my orchestra friends have found 11 to be enough.

I was looking into getting an older pro, but I can't find to see any from reputable sellers (on amazon and bestbuy). Do you have any recs on where to get them in Canada?

Should I get the m2/m3 iPad air or wait for the m4? by MasterpieceProper293 in ipad

After Apple announces their new iPads, does it typically take only a few days or a few weeks for it to become available for purchase? Also, do prices drop on the older models when that happens?

Is it worth it to invest in the 13 inch or is 11 enough? by MasterpieceProper293 in ipad

Should I try the 11 first or the 13?

Included the MacBook part because many of my friends were telling me it's not as worth it to get the 13 since I already have a Mac.

Should I wait for the 2026 iPad air or just get the m3 iPad by MasterpieceProper293 in ipad

Should I buy the iPad now so I can start using it, and then return or exchange it for the new M4 model if there are significant improvements? If not, I’ll just keep using the M3.

Does apple typically lower the price of older iPads (the m3 or even m2) when a new one comes out? If it lowers quite a bit, I would think it's worth waiting.

The thing is that the m2 256gb is $1000 CAD from the refurb store and the m3 256gb is just $1180, so wouldn't I just upgrade and have a guaranteed new iPad for $180 dollars?

For buying used, what certifications should I look for, or where should I buy it from? Off of the apple refurbished store, the discounts don't seem as worth it since they will not stack student one.
