Apple users are keeping their iPads for a very long time
I wrote yesterday morning: "We are keeping our iPads until the point arrives when iOS cannot be upgraded."
I lied.
Yesterday afternoon we bought a new iPad Air (M2).
1. We had the money.
2. We bought a model with 256GB. We are also getting a $100 trade-in with Apple for an old iPad Pro (9.7)
We figured that we would have to by a new one within a year or so. So, we bought now. -

We are keeping our iPads until the point arrives when iOS cannot be upgraded.
In practice this means 6+ years. While we can easily afford to buy every few years, we just don't see the need.
We only use our iPads for consumption, so a faster CPU is somewhat meaningless.
We only use the front camera for Facetime calls with family. We never use the back camera (we have iPhones for those types of photos).
What we want in new iPads, Apple is not providing:
* lighter weight
* higher screen resolution -
The long nightmare may be over -- iPad could finally get a Calculator app

Does Apple's platform need to be opened up?
