I envy you, when you eventually get the new iPad it’s going to seem like magic it’s so fast. The advance in processing power since 2012 has just been amazing.
I never wait that long to upgrade. So I’ll never know that joy.
Yeah, my wife has a newer one and I've definitely noticed how fast it is! Main thing that's kept me from getting a new one sooner was money—there have been more important expenses over the past few years and those naturally took priority.
