It has to be OLED for me to even consider it.What could possibly make someone upgrade from an M1? New color, front camera location change, magsafe…

I would be a day 1 upgrade from 2020 iPP 11” if they added mini-LED but apparently they’re not going to do it.What could possibly make someone upgrade from an M1? New color, front camera location change, magsafe…
So what does a four pin connector do vs three?
Only Apple really knows at this point… 😉
Because an M2, or even an M1 chip for that matter, is overkill for web browsing. There is hardly anything out there for an iPad that requires these faster chips. If we had iPad versions of Final Cut or Premiere then yes.The M2 is currently the fastest chip in the world for web browsing. It has the highest score to date on Speedometer and it's a lot higher than M1. I don't understand why downplay the M2. I use the M2 MacBook air and the M1 iPad Pro and the M2 is slightly better at handing complex web apps in Safari, like Google Docs and Google Sheets.
LOL. Analyst firm told its intern to come up with a report, and then the intern browsed through MR forums for a few minutes, and done.Interesting: Apple to launch a foldable iPad rather than iPhone in 2024, analyst predicts
POINTS
- Apple will likely launch an iPad with a folding screen in 2024, analyst firm CCS Insight said on Tuesday.
- CCS Insight said a foldable iPad would likely come before a folding iPhone, bucking the trend of consumer electronics companies launching folding screen smartphones.
- The analyst firm also predicts that Apple is likely to integrate its own 5G modem into the A series of processor for a “single-chip” solution for iPhones in 2025.

Apple already made up software locks on certain features, regardless of the hardware capability (stage manager, action mode on iPhone 14, etc). I'm sure Apple can come up with more software features lock that will only for the latest models.Because an M2, or even an M1 chip for that matter, is overkill for web browsing. There is hardly anything out there for an iPad that requires these faster chips. If we had iPad versions of Final Cut or Premiere then yes.
The M2 is not a big upgrade whatsoever, opening websites 0.4s faster is never worth the hefty premium.The M2 is currently the fastest chip in the world for web browsing. It has the highest score to date on Speedometer and it's a lot higher than M1. I don't understand why downplay the M2.

I agree. Apple would rather have people using Final Cut buy the $2000 Mac studio than $1000 ipad pro. Imo this is why ipadOS will remain what it is. It's harder trying to convince people to spend $2000 on an ipad than a Mac, so the upselling strategy remains to push people spending more for a Mac if they want those pro apps.I think the incremental upgrades happen because it’s cheaper for apple to use the same components in more products. Why order more m1 processors if all your range going forward will be m2? It just becomes cheaper to use the m2 from the larger manufacturing order than to order a very small amount of m1’s just to put in a few iPads.
The other thing is about Final Cut pro on the iPad. I’d be very surprised if they did this as I wonder what sense does it make?
a) would iPad app pricing support a £200 price point?
b) if you make it cheaper (say near LumaFusions £25 price point) your destroying the value of the mac product at £200. especially if the feature set has parity.
c) apple are using pro apps to get people to buy £1000 - £4000 macs. Otherwise the software would be much more. For example, Logic pro’s real completion, things like Ableton live suite have less tools bundled compared to Logic and still sell for around £400. What sense would it make to sell a cheap version of Final Cut pro to sell iPads that have average selling prices of £450?
d) finally, how many potential high level video editors are there to sell Final Cut to on the ipad anyway? so how many more iPad pro’s would you even sell? Also, Final Cut is part of a whole computer based workflow, plugins, third party tools etc which would restrict lots of people from using it on the iPad until those things are available.
apple have iMovie and garageband products to get people into their eco system and push them to macs from iPad‘s. i dont see how pro apps on iPads will actually help them sell many more iPads or actually make them more money as a company.
but who knows…
Thats no real surprise. All indications have been a hardware upgrade for the Pros with no real design changes. And realistically there is only so much you can do with a tablet design wise.And then the realisation that the 11inch is just a chip change.
Probably not. They can just buy a dongle with each iPad, put one on every headphone they have, and done.Apple is a bit screwed either way right now with the budget iPad refresh...
– If the headphone jack is removed, education will be pretty annoyed – may even consider different brands in future
– If the headphone jack stays, audio lovers will ditch the under-utilised M1 of the Air/Pro and swap to the base iPad, reducing pro sales.
I don’t know, is it even possible to surf most Apple product websites without an M2?Because an M2, or even an M1 chip for that matter, is overkill for web browsing.

a) iPad app pricing can support price points up to £999. But, I think what they’d do it as a subscription.I think the incremental upgrades happen because it’s cheaper for apple to use the same components in more products.
