The new iPad mini looks nice, but the original price of $329 was a no-brainer.
Now it's almost $1,000. Sure, there were some spec bumps, but your target group is changing with the price regardless. Specs do not matter regarding this.
They crept up the price slowly over the years. We all know that there are reasons like inflation or memory price hikes, but it feels like instead of designing around these things, they just chose to bump up the price and make it more „luxury“.

@obrhoff@mastodon.social I got rid of my 2018 iPad Pro (€900, I think) when it suddenly started getting hot and crashing Procreate after the Liquid Glass update. After 6 years, the software updates had turned it into unusable trash. Bought a Wacom Intuos (no screen) instead for my drawing needs.
