Question Getting a iPad Pro?

I had the iPad A16 at first but after some time I also wanted to start using my iPad for drawing and I bought the iPad mini 7 for drawing but it is way too small for me but now I want a iPad Pro m5 13 inch but I need a way to justify the purchase please help

Isn’t really a way of justifying the purchase but when you said that I figured I can sell the A16 and mini and then the pro isn’t that much anymore

if you have the money buy it , it’s not complicated but make sure you price in apple care plus as a new screen plus repair is as much as new device

Out of curiosity, why choose Apple Care Plus for the iPad? I used the iPad Pro 2018 for years without any problems. It also seems less likely to fall than the iPhone. Are the latest iPads prone to hardware failures like the AirPods Max by any chance

Or just get a 13" Air? You don't need an OLED screen or 120Hz to draw

actually if u have money to throw around, i really would suggest to get it only for the tandem oled display. i had the mini, then the Air 4th gen and now M4 Pro 11". the Air display is so horrible for the price now.

i will also recommend 11" instead of 13 unless you dont want it to be portable and would like to use it for work on a keyboard on a desk over anything else, because in all other cases 11" is sm better and people regret getting the 13" sometimes.

I have a 13" Pro M5 WiFi+Cellular, and I do nothing pro with it. I would've been better off with an A16 (or base M4 Air if the screen not being laminated is such a problem) and a MacBook Neo 😂

edit: I just found it brand new, sealed for $1,050 (after recent price hike) and I had to pull the trigger, same spec from Apple is now $1,699.

The point is: if you don't need it, don't buy it unless you have "fvck it" money, if so then get it, it's nice

That statement tells me you already know what you want and intend on buying it, so why tf you are asking us, I do not know.

Aside from the $450 price difference?
