Why the 2024 iPad Pro, M4 or not, will finally replace my 2018 model
I’m someone who likes to replace my devices often, always getting the latest and greatest of what Apple produces. One glaring exception has been the iPad. I used to buy nearly every new generation, a trend that continued after I made the iPad my primary computer.
