I last upgraded my iPad 4 years ago. So, it's time to see if I need a new iPad with this. This is the M5 iPad Pro, the newest, flagship iPad. There’s some really neat things about it, and some things that haven't really changed since I last upgraded. Let’s talk about how it is in everyday use, how it compares to other iPad options, and whether you should upgrade too, especially when coming from an iPad that’s 4 years or older. Because this upgrade has got me mixed. Let’s get started.
