>>4162558Correction, my iPad Pro is worse than the current iPad. I forgot they just revealed a new one using gen2 tech. But yeah, gen2 tech is very good. Definitely not a bad tablet.
>>4162574I have no idea where this meme came from. It does not NEED to plug into the tablet. It's optional for convenience, and it allows the pencil to fast charge to 100% in 30 seconds. The pencil comes with an extra nib and the adapter in the box. It allows conventional charging via wire, although at normal speeds.
I've only tested out the new pencil. Not sure if I enjoy the flat edge yet, but I can see the button being useful. Though at the same time it's really easy and fast to switch to eraser.
If you get a refurb from Apple itself, it'll come in essentially mint condition.
At that point it's kinda just the price. Do you want the newest machine with a bit more future proofing, or a good deal? If you want a good deal, might be worth waiting until the new gen is revealed and everything older gets a price cut.
I myself would probably just wait for the price cut and pick the most future proof unless I was super tight on money.
