iPad Pro 2020 iPad Pro owners: Would you pay Apple $100 if they could swap out the A12z chip on your iPad for the M1?

For the 2020 iPad Pro crew: If you could pay Apple $100 to upgrade your CPU from the A12z to the M1 chip… would you? 🤔

Wasn’t sure if you pay the $$$ to possibly have another year of longevity and slightly faster speeds, or would it be a waste of money and you feel the A12z is more than fast enough to last the next 4-5 years without your iPad Pro breaking a sweat.

Thanks for your replies 🙂

No.

I'd pay them $100-200 to upgrade to 8-16GB RAM, though.

I don’t think so. The A12z has still never slowed down on me. It’s pretty remarkable. It’s such a well thought out device that I don’t know what upgrades they would have to do to entice me to upgrade.

I wouldn’t upgrade. I’ve thought about it, but I really don’t need much more in terms of performance. The A12Z coupled with 6 gigs has plenty of power to take advantage of new iPadOS features.

We all gotta be honest... half of us would pay $100 to apple to reprogram the software in our iPad and tell us we have an M1 so that we sleep better at night, because instragram can only scroll so fast.

I'd actually be perfectly fine with the A12 or A14. Those would probably offer better battery life.

I've followed the Apple SoCs evolve so I view the M1 as evolutionary rather than revolutionary. An A14X/Z with different branding if you will.

Mind, I've visited webpages with infinite scroll (why, oh, why?) and with those, I just pray I can get to the content I need before the page crashes due to running out of memory.

Yes, I would definitely take the upgrade.

For $100 I would because it's only $100

 

[svish]

No. I will not pay $100 to change to M1. A12Z is more than enough for the present. I will use the $100 for future iPad Pro upgrade.

Same here. My 11" iPad Pro 2020 is just fine for my purposes, but what the heck, if I could get it upgraded to the next generation for that small amount, I would do it instantly!
