iPad Resale value of 2020 12.9” iPad Pro

[Love-hate 🍏 relationship]

I wouldn't really call the A12Z a scam, it's a faster version of the A12X chip.

Everyone thinks they have found the loophole that will prove Apple wrong,

Stage Manager requires M1

Swap Memory requires an M1 and at least 128GB.

Based on what you said in your "should I buy" thread, you aren't doing anything on the iPad which would really benefit from swap memory. When asked you also said that not having Stage Manager wouldn't bother you. Its fine if you've changed your mind and want StageManager, but here's the thing window management is only coming to the A12 via jailbreak. Do no update your iPadOS any further and wait until jailbreak works on your OS version. You wont get StageManager specifically, but there are a couple of other Window management tweaks available.

I haven't jailbroken in a long time, but its generally not harmful unless you are using a sketchy source. In some ways JBing makes your device a little more secure because you can change your root passwords from the default which all iOS devices use. Have fun with it but just be aware of which sources you install from.

yeah i use inappropriate words ,but releasing a chip 2 years later with so little improvements isn't really good that's what I meant

thanks for the advices ! Im merely discussing of stage manager requirements but I truly am not this interested to have it the only M1 thing I'd really miss is display scaling

I've been rooting my phone for quite some time on Android ,I'd rather use iOS stock even if it "lack features" ,thank u nonetheless

Processor aside, your iPad has 2GB more RAM than the 2018 did and that's the upgrade you will notice. iPhones and iPads have always been like that, some updates were a big jump in performance while other years were more modest.

So 874 USD = $1124.79

1689*1.05=1773.45
1773.45-1124.79=$648.66
That’s how much I’ll never get back

You’ve been using it for a couple of years. Most things aren’t worth nearly what you paid for them two years later.

Since Apple ruined my 2020 iPad Pro when they announced iPadOS 16, as well as my storage getting full, I’m planning on upgrading to the M2 iPad Pro when it comes out

Hey you can sure change your iPad when you want, but it's absurd to say that Apple ruined your iPad Pro. Apple is not removing any feature you already had. At the contrary, they are giving you many more this year, just not Stage Manager. We have to stop this mentality of throwing away perfectly good tech just because it can't run all the latest features. A 2020 iPad Pro is a perfectly good machine for at least five more years. If you think it's the time to change it, there's nothing wrong here though.

For me, it feels it they ruined it by adding exclusive features that my iPad won’t get, so now I’m selling this piece of ****. I wish I never bought it

I completely agree. I find it implausible that Apple creates upgraded products annually without considering how this will affect me. It's incomprehensible.

 

[Dealmans]

Resale would be about half what you paid, if was M1 12.9 maybe 2/3 to 3/4 If lucky.

iPads seem to have better trade in value then some laptops.

OP, I have disabled Stage Manager on my M1 iPad Pro 11”. I think they ruined simple multitasking with that turdy stage manager. It’s clearly half arsed and practically useless. It‘s just a gimmick.

Continue to use your 2020 iPad Pro normally. You ain’t missing much.

Gimmick? I disagree. It’s a useful feature, users have to decide for themselves whether they find it useful and if not... Apple has the option to disable it.

I think a gimmick is something that doesn’t add any value and doesn’t benefit the user at all. Stage Manager allows for quickly accessing apps as well as resizing those apps… not sure how that is labeled a gimmick.

Disagree. They didn’t take the old ‘simple multitasking’ away so cannot be said to have ruined it in any way.

I think the Stage Manager option is a step in the right direction - and I have found its multi-windowing very useful so far.

 

[The Game 161]

yeah no matter what people think of it to be able to use multiple apps at once it's very useful if you want to use it. I will likely use it a fair amount. it may not be as good as on the Mac but it's at least giving you the option.

I totally feel you. I paid over $8000 (in today's $) for my Powerbook 180c, and Apple ruined it for me when they released the latest Macbook Pro 16 for less than half that. I feel super ripped off because that's money I'll never get back. We should start a class action lawsuit.

Still waiting for pro apps and MacOS Monterey to be ported to the PowerBook 180c but greedy moneybags Tim won’t do it.
