I always tell people (if they ask) that the time to buy is always now because there will be something to replace it soon. An old techie adage I read decades back said “If it works, its obsolete” 😆
However, when WWDC is one day away it does make sense to wait. I want to buy an iPad Pro and there are strong rumours that there will/won’t be a new model revealed tomorrow so I’m going to wait. If nothing appears then I will get the current model. I’m using an iPad Air which has been great but after four and a half years is missing out on some of the treats in the latest models - Touch ID, amazing screen and refresh rates, better camera, much faster, split screen and Apple Pencil to name a few. I’ve just got into being a bit creative with some crayons on paper(!) so really like the idea of the Apple Pencil for art, let alone all the other natty things it can do. I use my Mac for app development and the best view and manipulation of my photos, but I feel that the most exciting progress is being made on iOS these days. Steve’s cars and truck analogy seems a description of how it’s going.
