It doesn’t hurt that the most exciting Android tablet teased last year looks like a decent competitor to the iPad in 2014. That can be true without conceding that the iPad Pro feels stale and dated. In the case of the iPad Pro, one could argue it has aged so well because the tablet category hasn’t been progressed as quickly as other the iPhone and Mac. Perhaps Macs running on M2 chips will similarly maintain their modern sense over time. Most Macs from 2018 are even further behind current machines, which is especially true because of the transition from Intel to Apple Silicon. While still premium, an iPhone XR or iPhone XS from 2018 has changed much more dramatically in the same time span. The original HomePod may be the best exception, and that’s a product that left the market and has a reputation for failing over time. ![]() Most computers from five years ago simply haven’t held up in the same way. ![]() The thing about the 2018 iPad Pro is that it’s been replaced three times so far, yet it still offers what could be mistaken for the state-of-the-art user experience. The 11-inch iPad Pro, specifically, has held up extraordinarily well for a product from nearly five years ago. ![]() No other product from Apple has remained so functional for so long without appearing long in the tooth. The 2018 iPad Pro deserves a prominent spot in the Apple hardware hall-of-fame.
