I'll upgrade every moving forward as it is my only computer besides my iPhone. It costs me about $200 per year.

How often do you upgrade?

My first iPad was the 4th gen iPad called “The new iPad”, the first with a lightning connector.

I went from ther to the iPad Air 2 because the display broke, and from there to the 10.5” Pro. I can’t really say that either upgrade was strictly necessary, but they were far enough apart that the improvements were very obvious and much appreciated.
