I will take the performance differences into account when the devices actually slow down. As it is, I'm very impressed at how well the Apple A9 with 2GB RAM has been holding up.

Besides, I'll probably get the upgrade itch before then.

I know I will - I'll be updating from my 2018 iPP as soon as the miniLED model hits.

It's an interesting point people are making about the processors reaching a level where performance plateaus. I've been on the iPhone upgrade programme for a while so I don't know if recentish iPhone suffer slowdown like old ones did, and my current iPad is of course more than fast enough. If CPUs aren't a concern anymore, RAM I suppose could be, but I'd be surprised if that becomes a concern for the OS in the next few years (but will be a concern for being able to run the latest apps).

No, I've but I've been seeing ridiculous future-proof posts for 20 years now.

Ok despite if you know, let me still again bring to your kind notice this is a discussion forum and people want to know how future proof is their investment. May be a lot of peope have a lot of money to splurge every year on buying new Apple Device but also lot of do not. It is for that people.

Future-proof is a useless marketing term to get people to buy higher specced computers than they actually need.

I see this is a discussion forum that can also help people not waste money.

RAM was a bigger problem back when iOS devices had 128MB - 1GB. Situation's actually not as awful as it used to be.

RAM's more of a concern for multitasking, media editing or gaming I expect. I'm used to and expect reloads even on devices with 4GB RAM so less of an issue for me.

Still got an iPhone 7 with 2GB RAM and bar battery, I actually don't have any performance complaints against it.
