I "kind of" need a new Ipad. i say "kind of" because I've got an Ipad Pro that I use for work and surfing, I also have another Ipad (2016) which I use mainly for reading books / taking on holiday but it keeps saying it's out of storage and battery life seems to be getting worse. So I'm thinking about getting a new one.

The one below seems surprisingly cheap.

Ipad from John Lewis

My question is - is there anything better out there for the same price? I don't necessarily need a faster processor or a better display and hopefully 128GB should be enough in terms of storage.

All advice appreciated.

That's exactly what my own thoughts were!

being serious for a minute - I can't see how i can go wrong for £300 for a brand new ipad? Im sure I've paid £350 for a second hand one previously

I had to buy one last year for similar reasons. At the time, John Lewis came out tops, plus the click and collect is seamless, thus avoiding the courier roulette game.

Very happy with mine.
Purchased from Amazon for £284 back in Oct, before the sales!

Yes, their "Price match" plus 2 year warranty is hard to beat!
