After getting a small bonus at work for working on a couple of extra projects, I've had a bit of luck with some World Cup bets coming in. My reward will be another iPad, as the iPad 2 is getting a bit long in the tooth and 16GB just isn't enough for me now. We're not talking enough money to go wild, so I've got three options for a 32GB wifi model...
• Refurb iPad 4th gen: £349
• Refurb iPad Air: £409
• Wait and see what November brings: £479 (based on current gen pricing)
Now, I've no issue with not having the latest and greatest, so think I favour the 4th gen, pretty much on price alone. But it's not been in the refurb store for some time, and is it too old, now, really? The Air is probably the sensible option, as it doesn't mean waiting until November and it's at least £70 cheaper, as an educated guess. What will a new one offer? Touch ID and improved camera? Touch ID isn't a deal-breaker (well, at the moment), and I won't be using the iPad for taking pictures.
Interested to hear what people think. All things considered, I think the 4th gen is most attractive (assuming it reappears in the store), but I'm happy to be told otherwise.
