Worse yet, Siri w/o “Apple Intelligence” on my iPhone 13 Pro will answer the question or at least bring up the web pages. My M2 iPad pro pulls this stunt.

It’s a win for consumers but not necessarily for Apple’s bottom line. But yeah their stuff is lasting a lot longer these days. My M1 iPad Pro from 2021 is still crushing it and I think my M4 Mac Mini will last 5+ years easily.

The most important part: “Apple readies iPadOS 19 overhaul that will make the tablet’s software more like macOS. Besides a big effort to make the design of Apple’s operating systems more consistent, a big theme of the upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference is likely to be iPad software. I’m told t

Not long-term — RAM matters more than the processor, and the base M5 jumping from 8GB to 12GB says enough. Do what I do: spread the cost of 1 iPad over ~7 years, but get new every 2: Buy new, ~40–50% off, 1-year-old, higher-end 16 GB model OR similar priced Apple Refurbished or open box iPad (usuall

5 Years MINIMUM! And with the M chip you can stretch this easily if you can carry on confidently without security updates. They don't get the physical abuse that a smartphone goes through (less falls on hard floors, and extreme heat exposure) mostly used indoors and they have less operating hours th

I've tried it all and an iPad Pro, an Apple pencil (not the USB-CC version), a paper feel screen protector and Procreate is the best digital drawing experience I've found. Hands down. That being said, save some money and get a good used iPad Pro from eBay. You didn't need the newest M4 processor. Si

Apple knew what they were doing, made the UI rendering more processor intensive so you are forced to buy the next version of their new iPad. Hardware wise M5 is a leap from M4, and much faster than M3.. 2.5x faster than M1. My M1 iPad pro now lags and the battery life is bad. My 15PM has the same pr

If you want an iPad Pro buy one. But don't do it on the premise of "saving" your Air. I tried having both an M4 iPad Pro and a 16" MacBook Pro. It didn't work for me having two devices. I ended up selling both and buying a 15" M4 air. Apple batteries will generally last many years with high battery

True but unfortunately there are some people that prefer new over refurbished and not everyone has the same needs as me & you I do agree that the usb c pencil isn’t great for drawing due to no pressure sensitivity and the Apple Pencil 1st generation is good but an absolute hindrance to charge & conn
