For those who upgraded from the 2018 iPad Pro to the 2020 model, WHY?
A .5 upgrade of a model if I have ever seen one, but barely constitute as even a .1 upgrade. Even if you have money to burn I don’t see anyone updating to this model. Unless you’re that one person who wanted the LIR camera

iPad Pro 2018 or 2020?
Hi all! I recently upgraded my iPad Air 1 to an awesome iPad Pro 11" 2020. Man, this is really faster! The question is that I expected to use it for more complex tasks than what I did with my iPad Air (why? dunno, maybe due to the faster hardware, bigger screen etc). I ended up using exactly...

I absolutely loved the upgrade. Playing around with the LiDAR sensor is AR games is really spectacular!
OK, ran finally out of space and got a 2020 version with more storage. While the iPad itself does look the same, it feels ways snappier and I can actually contest the performance on photo editing and (specifically) LumaFusion is significant. I am working on a 360 footage project and LumaFusion cuts through the footage like hot knife through butter. I am impressed!
Battery life feels also better than the 2018. Maybe the processor is just less stressed or indeed more power efficient (I doubt that).
But what really blows me away IS. THAT. CAMERA.! Took a few portrait shots of my little kiddo and the background separation is fantastic. The blur effect works much better. Not sure if they utilize the LIDAR, but it would make sense. Shooting 4K@ 60FPS is a dream. How could I live without it
Why would you shoot with an iPad you may ask. I would counter - why not? If I edit on the iPad anyway, why not use it to shoot? Giant viewfinder, awesome camera and no data copy anymore.
I think applications develop with availability of equipment.
In day to day activity, the increased ram plays when switching between apps.
Overall a worthy upgrade.

I upgraded from an 11in 2018 to a 12.9in 2020 model. My main deciding factor is that, since I finished college, I no longer need the portability > screen real estate. I also wanted the full size magic keyboard.
If it wasn’t for wanting to upgrade size, I would’ve been happy skipping this gen. The increase in ram, storage, microphone, and camera are just bonuses I’m happy to have!
