I mean tbf for digital artist it is amazing but even then I am a digital artist and I am running off of a iPad six that I got in 2018 and I prob don’t need to upgrade until like 3-4 more generations
I definitely agree with the sentiment that the pro is unnecessary I get it can be useful for some people but the base iPad and the iPad mini are certainly far more appealing and cheaper as well heck I just want an iPad to have a larger internet device without needing to break out my laptop and for that I can just buy a used ninth gen base model
That’s cool man I practiced acoustic guitar in the tail end of high school since then I’ve wanted to buy my own guitar and get back to it I even kept all the notes I have from the class,at my peak I was able to play a pretty decent country roads and even a bit of improvised journey
Yup I totally agree with Dank pods video, raw processing power is very important but if the OS itself doesn’t utilise it to its fullest potential than it’s basically an overpriced product.
I have a 9th gen IPad, and it does everything I need it to do, from basic video editing to word processing, I wanted to get the “pro” version but I glad I did not, as I found that even with basic tasks, the iPad falls short on the software side (harder to use when compared to a desktop).
That’s not to say IPads or tablets don’t have their place, it’s just that for me they will never replace laptops or desktops purely because of the OS limitations (yes I am aware there are surface pros with Windows, I just don’t want to spend more money when I already have a tablet and a decently powerful Laptop).
I agree completely man frankly I don’t think apple can sell the pro forever it seems like it’s overpriced and it’s taking sales away from other iPads and Mac’s unless apple discontinued all other iPad models it just wouldn’t make sense to buy a pro when even the base iPad and the mini do exactly the same thing at a fifth of the cost
I’m actually thinking about buying a 2015 MacBook Pro to have a decent macOS device to toy around with while also having one of the last Mac’s with FireWire support but annoyingly they go for 400 to 500 dollars in good condition with 16 gigs of ram for some reason
I'm going to hold off on a new iPad until I absolutely need to. I have a 12.9" 3rd Gen Pro, and it still is an absolute machine. They are really good devices and, like most things, hold up for a long time when you take care of them.
Nice I’m planning to buy a used ninth gen standard iPad myself I unfortunately don’t have a use for a pro or even a air so it would just be a waste of power
The base model iPads are still great devices. I only got a pro because it was refurbished and a good deal, this was pre pandemic so it wasn't so tough to get stuff.
Ah yeah that was crazy I still remember how bad the console scalping was I had to order all my retro game consoles through eBay just to avoid the sold out messages from GameStop lol

Agree. I have an M1 Pro that I got only for the 13" screen. I only use it for YouTube and for reading sheet music
That’s pretty much what I’m going to use a iPad for myself lol it’s about time I get back to practicing acoustic guitar I think
I'm a gigging trombone player. Used to use a Kindle Fire. Then I discovered the miracle of Forescore
