5 Apple Devices You Should Not Buy In April 2019

Apple always knows how to attract us by prominent devices and flagships, so that it’s not really affordable in term of price, especially a price-sensitive market like India. A smart buyer needs to avoid buying anything that’s nearing the end of its lifecycle, or simply not worth its price as well. Check out these products that we should not pay the money for this month.

1. iPad

Why not an iPad? Apple has not updated the current iPad for one year, unfortunately. Well, a year without updating may be meant as a couple of years behind in technology. It looks like a good idea to pick up an iPad Air or iPad Mini in the updated models or you should wait for a hardware refresh of iPad to come.

2. MacBook

Why not a MacBook? It’s safe to say that the MacBook is a great laptop, but the same problem in the iPad also comes with this Apple device. Without a doubt, the last update has been two years ago, Macbook now feels neglected. In addition, the aging processor makes it's really a bad decision in the comparison with a MacBook Air.

3. MacBook Pro

Why not a MacBook Pro? The fact that they are based on Kaby Lake processors of Intel, which have been alternated by Cannon Lake, which appear to suffer from a cable flex issue.

4. Apple Lightning Cable

Why not an Apple Lighting Cable? Too expensive. You can buy something with the same standard but a lower budget. In fact, a Lightning cable from Apple is far more expensive than the better alternatives from Anker, Nomad or Amazon but the quality may be not worth its price.

5. HomePod

Why not HomePod? HomePod is functioned to compete with Amazon Echo and Google Home in the smart speaker market. The current model was rolled out last year for the first time, but it does not have any update for a long time. It's also unclear about whether Apple is planning a refresh or not.
