can basically be said that each generation of iPad Pro has made considerable improvements. And if you are worried that the performance will be difficult to improve significantly after M1, then you are basically over-concerned. Apple is already moving further and further on the road to improving chip performance!
is like the latest M1 Pro and M1 Max chips released in October this year, and the performance almost directly reaches the ceiling of the notebook.
In fact, iPad Pro generally does not update once a year, it is a small update every year and a half, and its performance improvement every three years. What iPad Pro needs most now is actually a new way of playing! Including new software and new hardware, it really doesn't mean much to improve performance purely.
In fact, for the next generation of 11-inch iPad Pro, adding a mini-LED can be considered a major update! If you change to M2 in three years, it will be a great improvement. But seriously, what I'm looking forward to is the new hardware. Just like when the iPad Pro went from 9.7 inches to a full-screen, it was the mini-LED added this year. The addition of these new hardware is far more meaningful than pure performance improvements. Especially when the performance itself is already strong enough.
So, for future iPad Pro updates, you only need to pay attention to two aspects. One is a brand new gameplay, including software and hardware. The other is your purchasing power. Don’t always think that you can use it for seven or eight years by buying an M1!
