I think iPads can last at least 2-3 years if taken care properly 

Don't really have to change annually if you dont chase newness lol.
To be honest, USB C is now a standard 'norm'.

There's plenty of USB C accessories in the market right now, imagine if you have a new-gen Mac that uses USB C, you literally can charge using the same cable, use USB C adapter and access USB C SSD Drives etc. Even for earphones, AirPods is the way to go. iPhones? Wireless chargers.

I don't know man, I just feel that the least they can do is to standardize the use of USB C across board, not just limit it to the Pro models since the Macs are already adopting this. For this sole purpose, I'd rather stick to the Pro model. The idea of sticking the Apple Pencil to the Lightning Port is just no for me. It's a design disaster from the start

Hi guys,

Need some advice as am planning to buy my mom an iPad for her birthday.

She is only going to use it to Facetime,Youtube,occasional Netflix & maybe some music/social media apps.

Currently considering these 2 options:

iPad 9.7 Inch 6th Gen 128GB - Rm1399.

Current iPad 10.2 Inch 7th Gen 128GB-Rm1849.

I compared both the iPads and everything is exactly identical except the display size & the smart keyboard compatibility for the current 7th Gen.

Would the 6th Gen suffice for her needs?

Am thinking to just get the 6th Gen as the saving of Rm449 which can be used to get her Apple Airpods instead since the iPads don't come with Earphones.
