It’s still as fast as when I first bought it.

Battery life is superb.

Screen is perfect.

I have a Smart Folio & Magic Keyboard.

What would I gain by upgrading to the current pro model?

I have considered going for the 12.9”, which would be a new experience. But other than that, what pros (excuse the pun) would I gain from upgrading?

Thanks.

Here's the comparison between all three: https://www.apple.com/ipad/compare/...gen,ipad-pro-11-4th-gen,ipad-pro-12-9-6th-gen

Main differences with the latest 11" Pro are:
- Faster CPU (but do you have any workflows where it'd be noticeable?)
- 12 MP front camera (rear cameras are the same as before)
- Center Stage
- Thunderbolt/USB 4
- Wi-Fi 6E
- Apple Pencil hover

Main differences with the latest 12.9" Pro are:
- All the above
- A bigger mini-LED backlit display (11" Pro does not have mini-LED)

Other than that, all three models are stated to have the same 10 hour battery life. For the 11", the display is exactly the same as before.

Well explained! Big help!
