Even if you’re willing to pay full price for these bad boys (which you should obviously not do under any circumstances in 2023), retailers like Best Buy and Amazon can no longer help you as far as most configurations go, either listing them as out of stock (probably for good) or not listing them at all anymore.
A 5G-enabled 256GB iPad Pro 11 powerhouse released back in 2021 used to cost a whopping $1,099 all by itself, mind you, while a protective smart folio for this type of device is normally available at $79.
That means that you’re currently looking at saving more than 400 bucks compared to how much such a combo would have set you back two years ago, although time obviously always has a major impact on a tablet’s price (and that of its accessories).
The two tablets are really not that different, and if you don’t mind an older and slightly slower processor, the 2021 iPad Pro 11 edition is clearly the smarter buy at the moment.
