What's your Ipad really worth?
Sometimes I think about how much I have spent in iPad music apps. It's been all worth it, but I'm just curious what others have maybe have spent too.
My Ipad was around $1000 and music apps maybe $400- 500.

You're trying to give us all panic attacks eh? That's just plain mean. 😵💫
A lot though. But less than one month's rent, so I'm not gonna sweat it in the long run.
No, in fact, it's still nowhere to be compared to my friend's hardware setup. It's a huge savings, with similar results:)
I've spent probably around $500 USD on apps over the last 3 years.
Despite years of subliminal messaging from me that horses are dangerous animals my daughter is besotted with them, and spending on my hobby is easily eclipsed by what we spend to support hers.
About 500 EUR for both the hw and apps, great value.
Priceless for the diversion and the community.
I know the question is really "What have you spent on your iPad?" but the answer to the thread title is really only the current resale value of the iPad itself. Apps aren't transferable.
So, prior to receiving an unasked for iPad 9th generation for Christmas, my answer to the thread title would have been $124.49 or best offer according to EBay. 😉
It’s interesting that I bought my iPad Pro 11 M1 3rd gen 128Gb 2 years ago used for £399 and it was one of few I saw at the time. Now I’m struggling to find one for under £500/600. Weird.
It’s not cheap even at nearly half the original price. Definitely wouldn’t fancy sitting on it.
My problem is when an app goes on sale, I’ll grab it if it looks mildly useful. Most of my lesser used apps are ones i‘ve bought at discount. Being aware of this will sadly not affect my future behaviour
Apple made the sound you get when you buy an app too similar (although slowed down) to when you get a coin in super Mario 😅
M1 iPad Pro $$$$
Music apps $$$
Fun had - priceless
To put things into perspective, before rediscovering a passion for making music during COVID, I used to be a huge gamer. Prior to 2020, I’d have no problem spending £50 on a game every few months, in addition to digital store games. Also, factoring in the cost of consoles over the lifecycle, the PS4, the Pro, PS5, Switch and others, it’s quite an expensive hobby. I hardly find the time to play nowadays, as I’m busy having fun with music. Then again, those games aren’t going anywhere, so when I want to go back, there’s a wealth of content to catch up on.
Paid slightly more than the price of an OP1 Field for all my apps and a 2018 iPad Pro. The return of enjoyment and creativity has been priceless. Drambo and my favorite plugins run circles around any hardware groovebox I’ve ever tried and greatly diminish my GAS for said hardware.
The only hardware I still fiend for and that the iPad can’t quite replace (yet), is an Iridium core. Though multiple iOS synth plugins can get fairly close in combination, but at a high CPU/DSP cost.
The new IPad Pro with the M3 chip and OLED screen comes out soon - already working on the excuse for why I need one for “work”.
I still have three old iPads (two gen 2 and one gen 4) that mainly serve for colour correction in DaVinci Resolve (video) and Capture One (photo), using the element-Vs app from Tangent that still runs on old 32-bit iPads. Which is a good solution. Not ideal, but usable. A hardware colour correction console is much better, but quite expensive, and this app is a useful alternative, especially when two or three iPads are involved. You have no haptic feel, but all the functionality is there.
I also have a 30-pin audio/MIDI interface. With this interface I can integrate one of these old iPads into a modular synthesiser system, serving as audio effect unit or as sequencer. Quantum and midiSequencer still run on 32-bit iPads, these are excellent sequencers. Audio effect apps are Duplicat, RM-1, frekvens, Altispace, Harmony Voice, apeDelay, VoiceRack, 6144, etc.
This all makes these iPads very valuable. And they can also serve as a Lemur controller. Another great value for an old iPad or iPhone.
