Apple's Shifting Differentiation

>> The iPad has since recovered from its 2017 nadir in sales, but seems locked in at around 8% of Apple’s revenue, a far cry from the 20% share it had in its first year

For me, the reasons are that I love my current Ipad pro, I don't have a good reason to upgrade it, and the pricing isn't advantageous.

I change my Macbook often because of work-related reasons (I.e. when changing job I need to get a new one)

I change my iphone often because the new ones have a big enough differentiator (for me at least), but more importantly, the way the pricing is structured with my cellphone provider, I almost get it for free. (I.e. I had to upgrade my plan to get more gig/months and a few other features so I only had to pay $200 for the new iphone 12).

But for the iPad pro? I'd need to pay the full $1500 upfront and the new one doesn't offer a big enough value add compared to the previous ones.

I still have the iPad 2 and I tried many times to convince myself to upgrade, but I only use it in the kitchen to browse recipes and then I learned about Apple stance on right to repair and that made me not buy any more of their products. If the iPad finally dies, I'll buy Android tablet.

iPad 2 user here, downgraded to iOS 6.1.3, lightning fast, skeuomorphic UI. Still hacking on it. I hope it never dies.

How to?
