just wondering for those with iPad Pro and case ... do you use it on a desk / sitting up right ? Or is it comfortable enough to use in bed like reading a book ?
*
Prefer to use case cause the body of the ipad quite slippery

Am using this type which is detachable

they never dump... new m4 ipad pro can still use the gen 2 apple pencil even now it also support apple pencil pro...  tongue.gif
backward compatible...

i am glad that i returned the m2 ipad pro 11-inch....
becos price gap between the m2 ipad pro 11-inch to m4 ipad pro 11-inch is not a lot.. but the difference physically is a lot...

1) better display (oled vs lcd)
2) slightly more pixels also (in terms of width)
3) m4 from m2 is a huge jump and support extra feature
4) camera system lost the wide angle camera but overall it supports more features like pro raw etc... now.. .

For now paper mentioned cannot right ?

Now 2020 still usable not not sure for how long.
Right now even safari less than 10 tabs also like will "refresh" when change between 3 tabs sweat.gif

Another thing i want probably is the HDR screen on 11" but not until M4 11"

Seems like the new bend area is at USB-C port there, ouch..

The upper gap for the USB-C is so thin sweat.gif after they make ipad pro thinner.

Im using the apple website to arrange the appointment last time, and the outlet i choose was thunder@conezion putrajaya, i think switch & machines outlet was available also if I remember correctly, not sure.

And yes, they dint repair ipad or replace ipad battery, they directly exchange to new refurbished unit. For battery issues, ur ipad battery health must below 80% or ur battery swollen.
I paid RM799 last time and they exchange my old ipad with a new refurbished ipad.

How to check iPad battery health eh ?

biggrin.gif Genshin has been out so many years, up till today you hardly play it on any phone/tablet without having to burn your finger after 30mins. The game is not suppose to play on mobile devices.
True on your conclusion, Apple does earn a lot simply just increase the storage capacity, put in wishlist and hope can see Rm750~Rm1000 discount voucher to be used before purchasing it.

By the way, usually how much they charge for battery replacement ?

Ipad has no battery replacement in Malaysia before Apple Store comes here.

If it was me, this is the way i look at it.

If i were to upgrade to M4, do i have the mean to upgrade the accesories that i use with it as well? If this is not applicable for you, then it’s a bonus.

If i were not to upgrade, how much i’m paying to replace the battery and for how long will i use it before i eventually upgrade?

Does the sunk cost as of date has already justified my usage in those years? Am i ok to accept the trade in price given the hustle i need to go through to make it pristine and sell it at a marginally better price?

Hope that can slightly help you to actually justify your upgrade tongue.gif
*
Actually i got consider Ipad Air but probably due to these factors that holding me off:

1) No Pro motion
2) No FaceID
3) No Thunderbolt 4
4) the 256GB cost RM2,999 (Differ RM1,500 with M4 Ipad 256G)
5) M2 chip kinda old dy
6) Follow up with no.3 & no.4 & no.5 , those seems to be a good upgrade for M4 Ipad Pro but not sure for that pricing judgement


Accessories i actually might consider for the Pencil pro only (which mean my Gen2 gonna be .. e-waste if no sell)

rm3279 considered quite cheap the price u bought... tongue.gif

3,279 bought in 2020 and can trade in 1,315 (if mint condition) feels like a good selling price still.
But i'm sure 2nd hand market can sell ... higher ?

If u need all the pro functions including display, Face ID etc. indeed iPad Pro is worth it for the difference paid.

Air is really an alternative for those on budget constraints and really do not need those pro features.

If sell at 2nd hand market surely price should be higher, but it comes with the hassle to deal with low ballers also.
*
Not to mention "personal warranty"

But with the battery life right now of mine, not really feel like passing to next owner, too.

When switch do trade in for iphone, they will check battery health also
But iPad 2020 doesn't have a official update on battery health so not sure will Switch check using alternate method.

But gonna leave it to next year only decide sweat.gif
