Is this a Canada only site ? As I said IF which is the keyword there. If you can get a good deal on an iPad Pro 11 ($200+) I would get the 2018 over the 2020 iPad Pro. That $200 savings is better then whatever improvements on the 2020. I would rather have a 512GB 2018 then a 64 GB 2020 in my case. I paid $730 for my 512gb which is $30 more then the base iPad Pro MSRP assuming they keep the prices the same. The only improvement I would even consider is an OLED panel but even then the LCD panel is great on it and would still probably take the storage over a base 64GB.
No, but you responded to my post, in which I specifically mentioned Canadian pricing as a reason why I'm waiting.
The other thing I'm hoping for is a 128 GB base model, as that would be perfect for me, but I'm only 50/50 on that. Still, it's another reason to wait. Who knows though... Maybe it will get delayed until fall, but in that case, for the cellular types, an advantage is that it will come with 5G.
BTW, regarding RAM: I just bought a 2 GB iPhone 8 for my mother-in-law, but that's because she is short on cash, and has very limited needs. CAD$120 (US$92) on her voice plan, but she gets $200 back in credits, so effectively nothing out of pocket. In retrospect maybe I should have just gotten her the iPhone 7 though since it has the same amount of RAM and was $0 but with the same $200 credit and she's coming from a 6s that's broken, but whatever, too late. I think she'll like the wireless charging too. I've also starting noted a bit sluggishness on my iPhone 7 Plus due to the CPU.
For my wife though, there was no way in Hades I was going to buy another iDevice with only 2 GB RAM. Despite the A10 SoC, I got her the iPad 7th generation. It can occasionally lag, but it's not bad, and eventually she can have my iPad Pro 10.5 with A10X if it really matters to her. 3 GB RAM IMO really should be the minimum. And in fact it is now. Aside from the iPhone 8, which will likely be discontinued in the spring when the "SE2" comes out, there are no more 2 GB iDevices available for sale from Apple outside the refurbished store. They are all at least 3 GB RAM. And, I think that's necessary because even in 2019 2 GB devices are starting to hit that memory ceiling. I've sometimes noticed that on the iPad Air 2s we have. Perhaps it's worse with iPads with desktop Safari, than with iPhones though.
Truthfully, 4 GB on my 2017 iPad Pro is fine for my usage, but considering I want to keep that 2020 iPad Pro for 5 years, I think 6 GB is great advantage to have. 2 GB on my iPad Air 2 in 2014 was amazing, but in 2019 it's limiting.
