I’ve recently said I wouldn’t upgrade to another Pro, but that Pro you’ve described would be an instant upgrade. To have a 14.1” OLED display for movies and light computing would be stellar.14.1" iPad

These are the upgrades I'm waiting for and would love to see.

If that's true I hope they come out with a usb c version once the stock is depleted.
Pathetic. Imagine spending $2000 for a 2TB iPad Pro just to be told a year later, “yeah it’s only worth $500.”
Apple is getting stale on the iPad and iPhone development.
I have a 12.9” 2018 iPad Pro and while I wouldn’t call it “a rocket,” it’s fast and functional enough for now. Plus, last year’s Magic Keyboard introduction was a really nice addition to its usability, giving it a bit more life yet.
Hover functionality is interesting, particularly if apps can respond to a mouse/trackpad’s cursor hovering over an element rather than just a third generation Apple Pencil. Still, like all other UX introductions (eg, Force Touch, Touch Bar) it’s going to take time for app developers to identify where it makes sense to implement and to update their apps. And considering developers have to plan for every other user out there without a third gen pencil, it means it can only ever be a nice usability embellishment and little more.
A new form factor with higher quality display would be nice and reasonable to expect, but I’m curious what Apple’s going to do with the cameras. They’re introducing ProRes recording on a device with a so-so camera and even promoting professionally recording video in their latest reel.
If they’re serious about that workflow, why not introduce an iPad Ultra (ie a 14” or bigger tablet with video and camera capabilities at least as good as the top of the line iPhone)? It would have more RAM, better performance, more storage, longer battery life and could be a one-stop-shop for a complete video workflow.

I upgraded from the 2020 11” model Wi-Fi and the A12z to the 2022 11” model with Wi-Fi and Cellular. Should be a nice upgrade for me.
Is that the 11-inch model that is €1500?
That’s more than the cost of the 512 GB WiFi/Cellular model I ordered yesterday after taxes 💀
Well Apple announced that Davinci Resolve is coming to iPad Pro, so that leans me toward a M2 model.
But I’ll wait to see if it would work with an M1 iPad.

Advice on formatting. When you do these guides the features are not maintained in a list so as I read across on one iPad the feature might be screen but the other is on ram. Just put in some spacing so as I look over the list on the same level it always is comparing the same features.
The simple answer is: NO!
Seeing not a re-design is not appealing to me
This is not meant to be upgraded every year. This is proof people will complain about anything. You don’t want to upgrade? Cool. I’m getting this. I have a crap load of Best Buy gift cards and going from a 2016 iPad.
Definitely. Here in Finland it (128 GB base 12,9" model) starts at 1479eur. I purchased my 1st gen 32GB base 12,9" model back in late 2015 for 500eur less(!) - 970eur...
The article is literally comparing the M1 to M2 iPad Pros…hence the responses you quoted. The answer is absolutely NO if you already have an M1 iPad Pro, unless you are 1 of the 10 people world wide who use ProRes encoders and prefer a iPad Pro over a laptop for that work.

I guess we know what happens when Apple works from home for too long. 😂
IMO, two things will never happen: iPad getting MacOS and Macbook getting a touchscreen. Either of these is stepping into another's territory and decreasing sales.
I doubt it. They may just start using Apple Pencil 2.
Apple Pencil 1 charges by connecting directly into the Lightning port of the iPad, so switching it to USB-C will not be a good thing for this iPad release.
I'm ok with getting the M1 iPad, but I don't want to pay more than around 500 dollars. If I'm paying close to 600, I might as well get the M2 Version.
This iPad is usb c though. Are you saying they’re more likely to just give the iPad 11 2nd gen pencil support?
I haven't owned an iPad in over 5+ years. I preordered an 11 inch M2 w/ cellular (256gb). Debating if I should cancel and just get a 512gb M1 12.9 wifi only off amazon instead
Very minor sidegrade. Only real upgrade from M1 iPP is 3nm, OLED display, hardware AV1/VP9 decode, etc. M1 iPP is still better overall with permanent unrestricted app sideloading with TrollStore.
I was just thinking the same thing. Is the 2022 12.9' iPad Pro worth the upgrade from my 2018 12.9" iPad Pro?
