What did you think.
The reason many users don’t upgrade to the new iPad Pro is the high price. Also, the reason why people want to buy a new one seems to be more like “I want a new one soon” rather than “new features and performance.”
In this survey, there were almost no respondents who said they had high expectations for the new iPad Pro.
However, this iPad Pro is equipped with the M4 chip and has the thinnest body in Apple’s history, with the 11-inch model being 5.3 mm and the 13-inch model being 5.1 mm, so it’s hard to imagine how far the possibilities will go. I’m really looking forward to seeing how it spreads!
