I’m going to assume the new models have increased rigidity from all the bending issues the previous model had. Waiting for a tear down to show some internal bracing making this much more solid.
kind of similar to the iPhone 6 bending problem was fixed with the 6s.

iPadOS is starting to converge with macOS and needs this ram
I’ve needed an iPad for 4 years. Too bad it’s the price of LAPTOPS. The wait continues.
I'm also a developer. Touch wood, all my Apple devices are all still fine. I use my iPad a huge amount when I'm dealing with production issues. My 7+ is doing fine, as is my personal 2015 MBP and my work 2018 one.
You know, there are other models? If you want the latest and greatest, you have to pay the price.
That’s just untrue Regarding the iPhone.

Nothing about hardware specs makes an OS more advanced. Apple’s apps are far better overall.
The additional RAM has nothing to do with iOS bloat, but with more powerful apps needing that RAM. If you want to use the iPad Pro for video editing, or image manipulation, etc, you’re gonna need the RAM. No amount of OS optimization is going to help when you’re dealing with 4K video
The addition of LiDAR makes it obvious.
A future iPadOS update will enable Transformer Mode... this device is also Apple’s first self-driving car.

oh in that case why is the latest and greatest MacBook $1200 more expensive then the rest?
The more I look at this in profile, the more I think we're looking at the next iMac.

Scale the iPad's squared out body up to 27" and have it floating on an arm and base like the new iPad keyboard, with ports on either side. This floating arrangement would make it possible to lower the screen to an angled drawing position with Pencil support.
Whether the next iMac is even a Mac or if it's instead a desktop iPad running iPad OS with this new touchpad cursor system, is another point entirely.

Yep, it’s very scary out there. I’m sitting tight saving my money for essentials. Work dried out, everyone is unsure what’s coming.
With the transition to at home everything devices like these are even more important than before.
This is a mystery, because the iPad should be using storage as cache. There's no reason for Safari to reload the tab from network...unless it's running in a no-cache mode.
I could see Apple making Safari run with no local cache because storage is hard to manage on the iPad. However, you should be able to set aside X amount of storage for a Safari cache...especially if you tend to have lots of available storage. Maybe there's an issue with flash wear?
I actually got the 1TB 11” ipad pro in 2018 because back then you couldn’t connect an external HD to ipads. But I was glad about the 6GB of ram.
Why would you want to wear out your NAND storage since it has finite write endurance compared to infinite endurance for DRAM? 6GB DRAM is embarrassing for a $999 device when, for example, the $999 Pixel Go has 16GB DRAM.
Just for me to understand, why would you "upgrade"?
I am curious what are the exact features that attract you and you actually need?
I also have a 2018 iPad pro and I was interested in the new model but I don't really have a use case for the camera upgrade, cpu upgrade.
Display is not such a big upgrade to make it worth....
I am interested maybe in the trackpad but that is compatible with 2018 ipad pro however it's on the ridiculously expensive side....
I am not judging... just asking why would you spend 1K+ USD on it?
Bending is not an issue. If someone tries to prove their enormous strength by bending an iPhone, let them bend it and pay for a new one. If someone tries to prove their enormous strength by putting their iPhone in a back pocket, sitting down, and putting the full weight of their arse on the phone, let them bend it and pay for a new one. For normal people there has never been an issue.
