I am choosing between a 2020 12.9" iPad Pro 2/ 256 GB, a 2021 11" iPad Pro 128 GB and a 2021 12.9" iPad Pro 128 GB. The 2020 12.9" and the 2021 11" are both $750. The 2021 12.9" is $1,000.
The main concern that I have is obsolescence as Apple updates software. My experience is that my iPads get laggy after a few years - albeit none of them were Pros. We are an Apple household and tend to keep our Apple products for awhile. It's my understanding that while the M1 is snappier, there aren't many applications that take advantage of the M1 - at least for my purposes. I can see the benefit of the mini-LED screen - pun intended.
At $250, the price differential seems wide between the 2020 and 2021 12.9 iPads, especially since the 2020 version has double the storage. Is obsolescence a legitimate concern given the difference in 2020 and 2021 processors?
