Dave’s iPad Pro 10.5 256 GB Recap: He was able to return his iPad and swap it out from a 64GB to 256GB as well as take advantage of the Beats promotion for Education. Previously he purchased a new MacBook Pro and they let him get the Beats Solo3 Wireless headphones for free. The Beats X bluetooth are free with iPad Pro, but he opted to go with the Powerbeats 3 earphones for $50 which is $150 the price. He also reviews the case he bought that holds Apple Pencil.
