I think they need to give current iPad owners a reason to upgrade. I use a pro from 2018 daily, but I don't think there's been a single improvement since then that would be meaningful to me. The most obvious thing I can think of is let them run macOS, which would expand the use cases dramatically.

My mum uses a 2014 ipad air 2 and it still works perfectly fine and even still receives security updates. I don't think Apple needs you to be buying a new ipad every few years. Every time the device needs replacing, its a chance you might switch to Android and stop paying for their subscriptions and 30% cut. The iPad is just one piece of the complete ecosystem. If they last forever without feeling obsolete, it builds a stronger brand.

Me too. The day a 1000 nit display comes out they can take my wallet.
