What’s the best thing about Apple bringing out new products?

Well, they’re always awesome which is a plus, but it also means that other models of the same line become available at a better price.

Apple recently announced the iPad 6, which ticks a bunch of boxes you didn’t know needed ticking, and will soon be available to South Africans via our local leading Apple retailers.

That’s something to look forward to, but if you’re living in the now then the iPad 5, which is a beast performance-wise, needs looking at.

Especially when you consider the crazy deal Digicape are running at the moment – the iPad 5 32GB 9,7-inch Retina display is now going for R3 999 while stocks last.

Just try and find a better deal than that. Nah, didn’t think so. Look at her shine:

In case you’re not familiar with the iPad 5, here are some of the main features to tickle your fancy:

Stunning Retina display.

Whether you’re enjoying photos, shopping, or building a presentation, the vivid 9.7‑inch Retina display has the detail and size to really bring them to life.

Fast, fluid performance.

The 64-bit A9 chip delivers performance that makes every app feel fast and fluid. Explore rich learning apps, play graphics-intensive games, or even use two apps at once. All while enjoying up to 10 hours of battery life.

Apps for everything.

Every iPad app has been designed specifically for the power and scale of iPad. And with so many great iPad apps in the App Store, there’s sure to be an app for whatever you love to do.

A mobile, modern OS.

iOS 10 is the most advanced, intuitive, and secure mobile operating system in the world. It’s so capable, you can work and play using two apps at once, ask Siri to send a message for you, and automatically back up your files with iCloud so you can access them anywhere.

Advanced security at your fingertip.

Your fingerprint is the perfect password because it’s unique and always with you. Touch ID lets you unlock your iPad instantly and secure private data in apps. You can also use it to make purchases with Apple Pay in apps and websites.

Front and back cameras.

Taking photos and videos with iPad is a snap. Use the 8-megapixel camera to shoot detailed images or 1080p HD video, then edit them right on iPad with Photos, iMovie, or your favorite app from the App Store. Or use the front-facing FaceTime HD camera for video calls and gorgeous selfies.

The old front and back cameras are always good for a selfie or two. We won’t judge you – out loud.

That above is just a few of the features that make this deal such a peach, so maybe it’s time you climbed all over this one and took Digicape up on the offer.

Also, can we have a shout out for it being Friday and all. Hell yeah.
