Apple event 7/5/2024 3pm

Gone are the days where I used to get excited about upcoming Apple events, but for those thinking of buying or upgrading an iPad, this may be of interest.

I really like using my M1 iPad 11” with magic keyboard, but the software could really do with an overhaul and I find myself reverting to my MBA for certain tasks, which I suppose Apple wants me to do. I won’t be upgrading anytime soon as the replacement cost for mine is now a staggering £1215 inc keyboard, and an upgrade to the rumoured M3 or M4 wouldn’t make much difference as speed is not an issue, although a redesign would be interesting.

My favourite laptop of all time was the 2016 12” Macbook despite its shortcomings…now if Apple would bring that back with an M3 and redesigned keyboard I would be very happy!

Is it just me or are iPads getting very expensive?

I always enjoy pricing/speccing up Apple stuff….how about a 2TB 11” iPad Pro with nano textured glass and a magic keyboard for the bargain price of £2299!!

I have a base M1 iPad Pro and magic keyboard, and will probably sell it and buy the same again when I visit the US later in the year (when Best Buy have a sale) but will wait to see what they are planning to do with iPad OS first.
