Weekly poll: will you buy an iPad Pro (2022)? How about a vanilla iPad (2022)?

23 October 2022
The iPad Pros have the new, powerful M2 chips, but isn't it better to get a MacBook Air. Also, the vanilla iPad got pricier, is there still a market for it?

If the OS wasn't so restricted, I'd probably have one, but there are limitations that make it impossible for me. Inability to download text files directly from PC being the biggest one.

    I'm a student artist and this will be my first tablet. I am getting the Ipad Pro 2022 11 inch mostly to do digital painting on procreate. 11 inch don't have the led mini display which creates a thicker display screen so there's no parallax effect when drawing. Portabiliy. it would be easier and lighter to hold while drawing. And finally for the perfectionists, it'll be fun because you wouldn't have drag yourself getting into so much more details. And it has Pencil hover, I need to be able to see the size brush and where it's pointing at, takes out the hassle of guess work something I'm used to doing on my laptop

      NO for those having iPad Pro 2020 and up... but YES to other older iPads - this might be a big upgrade to those users but not to enthusiasts and reviewers who mostly buy each and every year...

        Nah, I bought my pro 12.9 2021 in December. I will be getting a vanilla for my daughter to replace her 2018s, is apparently "lagging" in Roblox lol. She will pass down her old ipad to her mom hehe.

          Scratch off the logo and install android on it instead. Then I would consider it. I moved out from moms protective walls and control ages ago. Freedom, not apple!

            Tablets are good but if you have a laptop and a phone it is pretty useless. This is only my opinion and not a fact.

                This! iOS have so many small tiny details which make the experience very polished. Sometimes when i find new graphics candy i just Swipe it very slowly to see how smooth and well thought the transitions etc are. As an graphics designer i admire how much work they have put into details. This is something most don’t really see, but they feel it and is big part why so many likes the iOS experience and why it just feels how it feels.

                It’s just like well mixed song, when all the parts are together in right way you really feel the impact of the music.

                  Bought the 11” M2 iPad Pro. Can’t wait to get it next week!

                    Apple quietly increased prices because putting the USB-C cost them so much in lost profits

                      i'm still using an iPad mini 2 to watch various video content on. software support is long gone, safe for occasional security patches, but the device still works admirably well for its age. Apple stuff might be more expensive than the competition, but it'll probably last you a good while

                            you have to suffer, 23 Oct 2022better grab the redmi pad. its still powerful for media con... moreI only need it for YouTube, Netflix and casual browsing. I know that can't last like Ipad, but for the same price i can get both phone and tablet compared to Ipad. I'm still in dilemma

                              I have old iPad Pro - the new one has better screen and SOC, so no, I won't upgrade because it is totally pointless thanks too poor software, that can't utilize old SOC, let alone the new one.

                                I'm happy with my iPad air 3. I don't see a need to upgrade when I have a plenty fast processor, a good screen, and a headphone jack.

                                Also, $300 for a keyboard???? Are you kidding me??? You can get a nice keyboard for 10% of that price and a budget keyboard for literally 3%. And this keyboard probably only works with iPads. It makes even AirPods look almost reasonable in price.

                                  Overpriced as always

I for example love smooth animations, the way it's designed, the way blur comes up when you go in folders or put down control center or when apps pop up when you unlock iPhone. I notice every detail so that's why it's like that. I also love the design, couldn't care less for a logo and Samsung is also a giant company so why don't you have the same opinion for them?
                                    Also before you even attack me, i don't have an iPhone yet because i don't really feel a need to spend over 1000€ for a phone, regardless having the system i prefer and like the way it's designed.
