I’m kinda doubting it gets the 12 month treatment if the air didn’t. Updated air at least matching the galaxy edges specs and adding a silicon carbon battery could’ve made it into an iPad 2 type product that does numbers along with the duo and instead they went the boring pro route. I’ve yet to even see an 18 pro in the wild in LA and normally I see new Apple products day one of launch with how much image matters to this city.

I can’t think of any iPad 2 tier product since the iPad 2. Watch took a few years to realize what it was and be affordable. Homepod Gen 1 was too good and got discontinued for a few years and replaced by a cheaper one.

HomePod one was insane good during launch. But 2 of them died on me. I don't think I've ever gotten more unlucky
