It might be time for a tech upgrade. If you’ve been waiting for iPads to go on sale, Amazon has a few iPad deals that you need to know about.
For starters, iPad Pro got a pretty nice price cut, just in time for spring. The ninth generation iPad Pro is on sale for $250 at Amazon, which saves you $80 off the list price ($329).
Powered by Apple’s A13 bionic chip and an 8-core CPU and Neural Engine NPU, iPad Pro delivers powerful performance, lightning-fast graphics and all-day battery life, with up to 10 hours of web surfing.
The iPad Pro also has a 10.9-inch True Tone display, 64GB of storage (up to 256GB), a 12MP ultra-wide front cameras and 8MP back cameras.
Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro became available for iPad Pro last year. The upgrade means that movie and music creatives can finally combine the magic of Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro with the portability of an iPad.
“We’re excited to introduce Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro for iPad, allowing creators to unleash their creativity in new ways and in even more places,” Bob Borchers, Apple’s vice president of worldwide product marketing, said at the time. “With a powerful set of intuitive tools designed for the portability, performance, and touch-first interface of iPad, Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro deliver the ultimate mobile studio.”
Final Cut Pro for iPad features an all-new touch interface, intuitive tools and a jog wheel that, according to Apple, “makes the editing process easier than ever.” Logic Pro for iPad lets users unlock an “all-in-one-professional music creation app” that turns your iPad into a portable recording studio that lets you write record, edit music and more directly from the device.
Both are available in the App Store for $4.99/month or $49 annually.
As if you need another reason to upgrade your iPad, Final Cut Pro is only compatible with the M1 chip iPad and later models, while Logic Pro will be available on A12 Bionic chip iPad models or later. Learn more about Final Cut Pro for iPad and Logic Pro for iPad here.
