All New 2020 iPad Pro Models Feature 6GB RAM and Ultra Wideband Chip

[name99]

Let us elaborate on that for a bit. iPads belong to the devices that users upgrade least frequently, a proof is that there are still iPad 2's flying around (mostly for older persons, sure) and still working. Sure, the iPad 1 was under-powered, the iPad 2 had what, 8 times the GPU power alone?

You're comparing it to a 2011 MBP, cool. Aside from the price point (iPad was what, 499 back then?), that was the A4 chip, the first Apple chip they ever produced in-house. You're comparing it to hardware that is not only more expensive, but has an processor that comes from a company that didn't do it for the first time back then. Poor comparison, if you ask me.

It's also not a brick, you're just not thinking of creative ways to use it!
The one thing those old devices can still do that's not painfully slow is play audio and movies.

So you can fill it up with movies and leave it in the guest room. Or for kids in a car.

Or, my one, I have filled with spoken word audio, sitting hidden somewhere, but connected by bluetooth to a speaker in the bathroom, so I can listen while I shower and shave. Just press a button on the speaker to start audio, press again to stop. Works wonderfully
(If anyone cares, the speaker is an Anker SoundCore Motion B. Cheap, loud enough, waterproof, and has a start/stop button on it.)
