    I couldn’t agree more with you. I own an iPad Pro 11 (2018) since its release. I am a really heavy user since i tech chemistry from it with GoodNotes, liquidtext, webex and zoom calls all the time for many hours a day. There hasn’t been anything that i threw at it and it failed. The performance is just amazing. It hasn’t slowed a bit. There is no reason to get a 2020 version. The only real upgrade would be the a14x or m1 if they dare to put it on an iPad Pro. I am keeping it at least until there is a huge upgrade. The best purchase i have ever made for real. The MK i have bought is also a real real game changer!

    I just bought this refurbished from Apple...under 600 with 256gb. After all of the reviews stating that there really aren't that many differences between this and the newer ones, I couldn't justify spending more. So I get more storage and still have great performance. iPads are so good, and the speed is already great, not a need for the latest and greatest. I enjoyed your review! I just subscribed.

    I’m still using my 10.5 inch 2017 iPad Pro and I love it. But I’m interested in getting a 12.9 inch iPad Pro for school and things like that. I can’t decide whether or not to buy a 2018 model preowned or wait for the 2021 model. What are your thoughts on this?

    • @dad.0
      @dad.0  3 года назад +2

      budget will play a big factor. 2018 model you can find pre-owned for $500-$600. The new one will go for around $900. The only noticeable upgrade that I have seen rumored is the mini-led which may or may not be worth it. Won't know until I get my hands on it

      Apple supports their Ipads for 6-7 years. No less. Check out Gsmarena and head to the 6+ year old Ipads. I.E. the Ipad Air 2 came out in october 2014 with IOS 8.1 and is upgradeable to IPADOS 14.6 which is the latest. Ipad Pro 2015 (september) can also be upgraded to the latest OS. So this one will be supported for another 4+ years. Im getting the 2018 Ipad Pro 11 1TB cellular BNIB for around 950e and plan to keep it till they stop supporting it. Its a budget monster.

    Hey Bro , great review thanks!
    So I got an iPad Pro 2018 12.9 inch 256 gb, LTE for $829 brand new over Christmas. I also got a 2018 iPad Pro 11 64 gb open box for 560$ during Christmas . The reason I don’t plan to keep the 11 inch is because of the limited SSD. My question to you is do you think the 12.9 @ 829
    Is worth keeping in 2021? I mainly use it for note taking , web video conference, review documents in pdf, word and movies. Front facing camera quality is super important to me. Thank you very much!

      Absolutely, the 2018 iPad Pro will be a great tablet for years to come. Sounds like they will update the display this year with mini-LED... that my entice some to upgrade but I am leaning toward keeping my 2018 iPad Pro because the display is still gorgeous in 2021

    is this ipad still worth it in 2021? Im a college student that wants to use this device for work and play and a 256 gb air seems a bit much and the 64 gig air seems too little. Id rather use the money to get something refurbished with a little more storage (128 gig iPad pro 11" 2018) and pro motion but I'm concerned about how long they will support the device with updates. i know the physical device will still last forever though, my dads iPad from 2010 or 2012 or something is still going strong

    I have the iPad 6th gen and it was my first iPad. I also got the Apple Pencil and I use it for drawing a lot. But my iPad is pretty slow. It about 3 years old and it’s starting to slow down. I looked at the iPad Air and I just wasn’t that impressed especially with the price. If the iPad Air was maybe $450 I would be sold. But at my Best Buy I can get the iPad Pro 2018 model new for cheaper than the iPad Air 4. I still don’t know though cause $500 is a lot of money. And I’ve heard the iPad Pro can bend easily so I’m kinda scared about that,

You just make tweaks, trying to chase innovation all of the time will leave a company bankrupt. They cannot be as innovate as they want because they sell products at a mass scale, which means they can't afford to flop but so many releases (if any).
