Apple has been stagnant. Boring iPadOS, iOS, iPad, iPhone, iMac, etc etc. The improvement only on cpu, display and RAM (plus battery for AW and camera for iPhone). There is no breakthrough products anymore. I still have iPad 2 (2010) and compare side by side with iPad Pro 11 (2021), nothing much changes except on those 3 areas above (after 11 years!).
Another thing that question me, is why they increase the price while almost everyone in the world are impacted by COVID and facing economic turndown. I thought, silicon processor will lower the price as they didn’t have to pay license to Intel anymore and can drop unnecessary fan. But unfortunately that’s not the case.
