I'm with you in that there's no compelling reason to upgrade my iPad Pro because it just works. Having said that, I'm mulling over a mini, studio or macbook pro for a development system, but not the air. Why not the air? For reasons unclear to me Apple only includes Wifi 6e support on the Pro devices and not the latest Air. That's also currently true on the ipad line: only the pro devices speak 6e as well. Does it really matter on the ipad? Perhaps not, but in my area wifi pollution is so rampant, the devices I most rely upon (cell phone, windows laptop) speak 6e because it's the only way to get decent transfer rates. In fact I nearly purchased a macbook but decided to roll the device on an upgrade instead first because it was so cheap to do so. This would never happen with an apple device - my six year old windows laptop's upgrade to 6/6e was a $25 part purchased on Amazon and replaced on the motherboard in a matter of minutes. That's the other reason I'm not really dying to buy an apple device, no matter how portable or how great battery life is: it's a wasting asset that is designed to be unrepairable, much less upgradeable. And although it can be handy to do development locally, mosh/ssh and guacamole make it so there's no compelling reason to upgrade my six year old laptop either.
