Well, with how things are going with Windows and laptop OEMs, it’s still a better deal than those.
A lot of user need an iPad with a touchpad and keyboard for their needs, which is precisely what this is.
I’m personally waiting for a folding iPhone. I use an (old, 2nd gen) iPad to mix guitar tracks that I record, but it’s to the point where I can’t run effects and my DAW without having both crash. My phone’s also a bit long in the tooth so having one device that can do both jobs would be ideal for my particular use case.
To be blunt, I dunno if that's coming? Apple's designs are pretty conservative these days; I doubt they'd make a big folding iPhone.
iPhones do go on firesales from some carriers, sometimes even below cost.
Eh, rumor is September along with the iPhone 18 and whatnot. Time will tell.
