I upgraded from a retired 2013 iPad to a 13" M4 iPad Pro with 1TB of storage. At the 1TB level, you get 16 GB of RAM. Instant love, I use this iPad more than any other Apple computer device I have.
I hope that Apple’s AI system resembles an Alexa or Google Home Assistant, incorporating skills like apps. Currently, you can ask Siri to open an app, but the UI remains the same. I hope you can say, “Windy, what’s the weather forecast for today?” and it will open the screen, announce the forecast, or allow you to read it. You could also ask, “What’s today’s UV index?” or any of the features this best-of-all-weather app has.
