Air for $500 has a ton more power (50% more powerful) but very little storage 64GB. This has enough power, will date quickly, but awesome storage.

Depends on your use.

At $600, you should be looking for M1-powered iPad, or newer.

I literally have this iPad (only 256GB version), and it's fine. However, when Apple starts making the arbitrary cut-offs for iPadOS support, you can be sure Apple will lean hard as M1 for the cut-off.

The A12 chip/architecture in this iPad Pro was introduced in 2018!

Thanks for posting that. It is tempting for sure with 1TB and way faster/better than the ancient IPAD I have. I think I should hold out for the M1 at least.If it was $400 I would be all in.

The current generation iPad uses the A14 chip. So I'm not sure if they'll use M1 as the cut-off criteria anytime soon. It will probably be how they have always done it, which is IMO pretty generous!

Ya. Another way to think about it... You're sending $600 in 2023, you probably expect a company/Apple to support it with a modern OS for at least 5 years from purchase date. For this, we're talking a device introduced in early '20, with a chip that was 'old' as soon as it was introduced (from 2018).

I can't imagine Apple supporting it in 2028 (5 years from now). It's one thing if it's a few hundred dollars...

This iPad with the A12Z chip was released in March 2020. It will be supported for at least another 4-5 years.

For reference this is two generations and years old, but a new 2022 4th generation iPad Pro with 1TB and cellular is $1699.

Additional my 2017 A10X iPad Pro still has full iOS support.

Bad advice.

Per wiki Apple still support the first iPad Pro (2015) with the latest iOS.

M1 is based on the A14 architecture, so they should always stay similar in OS support.
