No, no, not buying one of those, too expensive anyway. The linked article suggests OLED is coming to iPad Air in 2 years so, maybe then I'll think about upgrading. In the meantime, my PC is due for upgrading.

I am going to wait until my iPad Air no longer receives firmware updates, because that is usually 5 years down the road and replace it then.

Which PC are you thinking of getting?

Yes, they usually say it last for 5 years.

I self build, never buy off the shelf. Already upgraded ram, faster and doubled up to 32GB and, have a new SSD ready to replace the main system drive, Crucial T500 2TB. Next in line is a new graphics card, looking at RX 9070 xt. A year or so later, new motherboard, CPU and ram, moving to AM5. Also going to need to add a new PSU, when I get the graphics card, need more power.

After selling my Samsung Q990F soundbar this iPad has ended up being a Xmas and birthday present for me, which my dad had partially paid for.

I am not missing my iPad Pro one bit or my iPhone 17 getting on really well with the new ones. 👍

I change electronic things when they stop working properly or become otherwise unfit for purpose, not because a new, micro-incrementally 'better' one appears.
