I did not ask "who is buying iPads"; I asked who is buying the iPad Pro, especially now that the Air is available at the 13" size.

One notable difference: Face ID. I know it sounds silly, but it makes it really convenient especially using keyboard.

Thank you

For which a $50 android tablet will suffice just fine.

Which $50 android tablet?

Any, amazon have several 6GB ram/64GB storage for $50-60 many of them even have a microSD slot for more storage, they'll all do fine for reading PDFs, my first iPad had 32GB storage and it did that task just fine.

Heck they have 4GB/32GB tablets for $30 that would no doubt just about manage running ReadEra or some other PDF viewer with no trouble.

But the most important aspect is the screen size. You're finding $50 android tablets with screen size 13"?
