I'm sure there's a longer discussion in here somewhere, but I think if I were to upgrade to a new iPad Pro, I would not get the keyboard case this time around. I feel it has disconnected me from what I did enjoy about the iPad experience, and just highlights how far the windowing, keyboard & mouse experience is from what I hoped Apple could achieve (which I no longer have confidence they have the means nor the intent to). Maybe it's time to let the iPad be iPad again?
What might change this calculus is if iPad gains support for virtualizing macOS or other OSes, or if a touch-optimized macOS replaces iPadOS someday on the pro models. But that day is not today
@stroughtonsmith short of that I can’t really justify another $400 US to upgrade to the pro over the air. Extra performance seems a waste and the screen/Face ID don’t seem worth the premium as it sits today.
