Thinking to either replace the battery on my iPad Pro 10.5 (2017) or get a new iPad if it's not worth replacing it but checking the price around to replace the battery is around RM500+, which would be better choice?

sell 10.5 on carousell, top up for M1 iPad pro

top up a bit and buy a brand new non-Apple tablets. at least can last 3 extra years .

if you dont care about latest greatest just change battery nia

yea unfortunately for work purposes, they work only with Apple devices, otherwise I'd buy a Samsung

Buy new

yea actually waited for this new 2022 iPad pro but somehow the spec bumps weren't anything great except for the M2.

Was looking to see if atleast got the USB-C.

Not sure if I should wait for 2023's version since EU forced Apple to start going USB-C on their devices.

Think about it, ur current ipad pro can tahan for how long? Is it worth to fork out rm500 but later ios not support anymore.

For work? Yes justified to get best gear.

2017 battery no longer original in market, apple care also dont replace battery for it anymore.

all ipad now is USB-C

sudah change since Ipad Pro 11 (1st gen)

new iPad got usbc already or go to cheaper one with lightning

Surprisingly the 10.5 still works like Day 1 I bought it, no lag & no issue running any of the apps. Still buttery smooth, the 4 speakers are great.

The only thing is the battery has weaken which is normal. It's not to the point of "Omg the device only last for 5 mins". Probably just losing charge a little faster than when it was new.

trade in and top up . always go for new .

GE Insurance?

all ipad ed USB-C, so change now or later no diff

just whether or not the new device will help you nia. if it does, buy it. if not, stick with old

Ditto

There's another option, don't go to expensive store and replace your abttery cheaper.

Should be able to settle below RM 100 lol.

Cellcare or miifix, go je at lyn or pertama complex ...

A brand insurance la Tu

You may refer to my service notice board for the list of insurance company that I have if you're seeking for advise. Have a long list of it so it's not limited to these 2 that you've mentioned

Oh great, I'll look it up further

Nice, seems like you're experience in this.

Just wondering if I replace the battery with these "brands", will they be as reliable as the original iPad's battery since they're not Apple original.
