I had the 12,9 2020 and I was very happy with it but a little bit short with disk space. I sold it for a good price and bought the 2021 hopping for Final Cut Pro to be announce or release for wwdc.
I bought before wwdc because i was pretty sure it can be hard to get one before 2 month: the screen is a little bit better but not a waouh effect but the big problem is blooming . I don’t understand why so many people are so kind with apple, a device at this price! 90 % of the time I don’t see it but the evening with dark background and white it’s totally obvious !
so, if they don’t release Final Cut Pro on iPad, i don’t see the reason for me to have the m1 for 700 $ more than a 2020 refurbished
( I mainly do procreate, Lightroom and starting to use nomad sculpt, maybe the m1 can be useful for this app but never see the limits of my previous 2020 iPad Pro )
And that’s a good point. Between the shortage with the display and people buying them up who are uncertain about keeping them, it kind of forces you to be one of those people if you want to be certain you will have one at the point you may want it.
