iPad I cant decide if i want to wait or not

[-Ray-]

I had an M4 pro and only sold it as I wanted a cellular model as I can use different ips with eSIM.

Now I can’t decide if I should wait a month or just suck it up and buy one now. I was happy with the m4

I use the iPad to generate passive income arbitrage sports betting. The Sportsbook apps work much better than they do on computers because of geo location.

I know waiting I can either get a newer device or discounted pro but feel like I’m just losing money as I’m not able to effectively do my arbitrage betting.

As stupid as it sounds I’m having a hard time tossing money towards a product that’s going to be replaced.

Help me make a decision.

Waiting on new tech, especially tech that won't make a difference with your passive income is a waste of time, not to mention chasing tech to have the latest tech is an exercise in futility as there is always something new being released several times a year. If you need or want a new iPad now and can afford it, get one. See how simple that is? No need to make simple decisions complicated.

I’ve done both, purchased now and or waited for the “new improved” model.

Years of experience in the Apple ecosystem have revealed either way works without a penalty of consequence. Sometimes newer isn’t always better.

Good luck with your decision.

The passive income part is what has me considering purchasing now.

There is no point in waiting. You already answered your own question in your OP.

The 16gb would make it easier to have multiple apps open in stage manager. That’s really the only feature I’d be eying that’s different from m4. I can care less about cameras

If it generates enough Cashflow, get one now and sell when the new one comes along.

Then you can get the 1Tb M4 Pro which comes with 16Gb RAM.

Best recommend I can make is to go to the store and play around with one. I can confirm that All iPads in store have been updated to OS 26. I recommend playing around with the OS and get a feel for it.

just pay $600 more than the M5 if it has 16GB in the base model as expected
