    Oh NO, I had a 2018 IPAD PRO (still have it) but I thought it was time to get some of the benefits of the M4 IPAD PRO 13. Seeing how Apple AI is going to be a BIG part of the new M4 IPAD that swayed me a bit. And yes, the 2018 IPad Pro Still does everything I need it to do and having to buy a NEW Magic Keyboard and APPLE Pro Pencil kind of was a kick in the pants and expensive. I have no other indulgence’s so I said I was worth it and I know I can get a few bucks for my used equipment that is still like new with the boxes.

    I have used an Ipad since Ipad 1--and was still using custom built Window computers with big Wacom graphics tablets. W/O explaining further I eventually switched totally to Apple for continuity and the ecosystem. I prefer touch for one thing but also upgraded to 12.9 Pros for the size when they became available--as photographer Ipad OS 13 (I think) made a huge difference for me because I could access all my external drives. Life changes have meant I have now decided not to upgrade Mac Pros and use Ipad as only computer with keyboard and pencil. I prefer to use my Ipad in my lap as I often did my Mac so I use the magic keyboard which is only one that has worked for that--for me. I now have a 2021 M1 12.9 Pro (and a 2018 12.9 Pro without M chip--and battery issues😊) and will upgrade--but am thinking of Ipad Air 12.9--but hope I get one more year or so from my 2021. I am now pretty deep into the Apple ecosystem LOL with a number of Homepods (originals and Minis), watch, Mini 5, Iphone, airpod pros (and Sony earphones)--and tend to be pretty techy (and have used computers since the old Radio Shack 8080-85 without HD AIR) so upgrade for me will depend on usage (updating software may not be possible, etc). But---I find your suggestions for most seniors to be helpful for many who are less used to new tech.

    I’ve just upgraded. I have a 2018 10.5 pro… a few years ago it started having “issues” cannot unlock with fingerprint while charge cable connected, the screen was being unresponsive prior to that whilst charging. I put up with it for years. I’ve finally upgraded because I was running out of storage. Stuff I didn’t want to delete. The hardest part was choosing Air or Pro… I ended up going Pro simply because I believe in investing in longer ownership times…. 11” is fine for me, and saves me a bunch! I couldn’t justify upgrading prior since I wanted 512Gb or greater. I couldn’t justify the extra $$$ for 12.9, but now the m4 11” has 512 as an option, it was a no brainer! Hopefully the price premium for the Pro works out…..

    Sometimes I wince when I see headlines like this “perfect for seniors”, as if we can’t handle anything more. I’m 71 and am enjoying the M4 IPad Pro. Yes it’s overpriced, and overkill -right now- but I firmly believe that you are future proofing rather than getting old tech. (I’m not saying you are one of those UA-camrs- but I’m just saying that sometimes I think it’s insulting to older people to assume that they can’t handle the new stuff…. Now to help financially is one thing.. I can understand that…
