I just got my first iPad Pro, 3rd gen, also my first iPad. Must say I love this design, despite the “bend” issue. After grabbing a keyboard folio, I find myself carrying it out a lot. It is overall lighter than my MacBook Air, easy to use as tablet, while decent to type short or middle length texts with keyboard folio. With word, excel and PowerPoint, I can do quite a few things on the go, including a master sheet for emergency lights and fire fighting equipment.

Apple Pencil 2 was the main reason I went for iPad Pro instead of all other iPads, simply because I cannot resist The sound when magnetically attach Apple Pencil on the iPad. So satisfying. Low latency is also pretty noticeable.

If I want to upgrade, I would just go for four or five year upgrade route and get whatever Apple offers at that point and that’s it. I don’t really like OLED and external storage support has already been a huge thing for me.
 
I have the iPad mini 4, which I absolutely love. It's a cellular model with unlimited data on it. It goes almost everywhere with me. I recently and excitedly tried the new iPad mini 5 but ended up returning for numerous display quality issues, that I saw also affecting all the iPad mini 5s in the Apple store and two Best Buy’s. So I returned it and decided to simply replace the battery on my mini 4 myself, which restored full performance and of course battery life.

I was very disappointed that Apple went backwards in display quality with the new mini 5. Such a shame because it is so fast.
You replaced the battery and noticed an increase in performance? My iPad mini 4 is extremely sluggish now and only lasts me like 2-3 hours now. I’ve been thinking of having the battery replaced.
