kind considering to upgrade my ipad pro 12.9 M1 to M4.

finally landscape front facing camera!

but i have second thoughts on OLED screen. I mean, won't BURN IN be a potential problem later on? Does Apple provide 3 year burn in warranty for ipad pro M4 as what Dell and other similar monitor manufacturers do?  tongue.gif

but BOTH 11 and 12.9 gets OLED now. I'm like, wow good job Apple.

My 12.9 M1 works fine still, I can’t see the need to upgrade unless I’m like super loaded. To me the hardware is restricted by the software, and most of the time I just game and browse on the iPad only

The main reason why i purchased Dell G3223Q 4K 144Hz 32" IPS monitor instead of Dell AW3225QF 3rd gen QD-OLED.
even though got 3 years burn in warranty, but can only claim ONCE. cannot claim more afterwards.  laugh.gif

i think microLED display tech is the way forward, beautiful screen like OLED but no burn in issues.

but i don't know why Apple withdraw using microLED  rclxub.gif
will probably purchase the same as my old 12.9 M1 256GB Wifi + 5G. Last time, also i invested RM7,427 for ipad pro 12.9 M1 5G, Magic keyboard & Pencil on Apple website.

hope later can get good trade in price at Machines or Switch to minimize the overall ipad pro M4 price  sweat.gif
yes you're maybe right.
but for me, i use my ipad pro 12.9 M1 80% more than my laptop for work. Mostly for office documentations, reading research journals (really need that pencil to do annotations) and etc.

my laptop is use to run heavy research simulation softwares like Autocad, Ansys, COMSOL & etc

Probably selling it is better than actually trading in, higher price than what the retailers will offer.

Not happy that apple made things not backward compatible though. They made a 13 inch iPad Pro and suddenly our old 12.9inch Magic Keyboard wouldn’t work anymore. Plus the fact the new pencil Pro couldn’t work on older iPad Pros. Apple Pencil 2 will not work on the newest iPad Air and iPad Pro

Those who own previous iPad Pros accessories eg Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil 2 be warned, the old models of these Magic Keyboard and Pencil 2 will NOT work on the 2024 iPad Air and iPad Pro models.

This made me do not want to upgrade at all, because it means I would have to sell my accessories and buy new ones.

If you upgrade to 2024 iPad Air/Pro, your choice is either the new Pencil Pro, or either downgrade to the inferior USB-C pencil.

Your old Pencil 2 > USB-C Pencil due to the USB-C pencil has NO pressure sensitivity and NO double tap gesture and NO wireless magnetic charging.

So the only option is to get the Pencil Pro which cost even more to have some existing pencil 2 feature + some other nifty features.
