It's THAT TIME OF THE YEAR AGAIN! Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me!

smarky said:Here in the UK, not liking this new iPad, because it's not really any cheaper, it's the same price the Air 2 was last year before they increased the prices! I have an iPhone and I maxed out iPad, but with the prices apple charges f…
