Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m an Apple fanboy. I’ve always been drawn to their sleek designs and intuitive user experience. But the new iPad Pro’s price tag? It’s got me questioning my loyalty, and maybe even my sanity. 22 grand?! That’s a down payment on a car! Apparently, my trusty old iPad is now officially “low class” according to the internet, and I can’t help but feel a little pang of… something. Is it envy? Disbelief? A touch of existential dread? Maybe it’s all of the above.
I remember when I first got my iPad. It felt like a window into the future. Suddenly, I could work from anywhere, stream movies on a bigger screen, even draw and design with ease. It was a game-changer, and for a long time, it felt like the perfect device. Now? Well, now I’m starting to feel the pressure. The pressure to upgrade, to keep up with the Joneses, even though my current iPad works just fine. It’s like high school all over again, with everyone comparing their gadgets and vying for social status. Except this time, the price of entry is ridiculously high.
The truth is, I know I don’t need the new iPad Pro. I’m not a professional artist or designer who needs the absolute latest tech. I’m just a regular guy who likes to watch Netflix in bed and scroll through social media. But that little voice in the back of my head keeps whispering, “Wouldn’t it be nice to have the best? Wouldn’t it be amazing to experience that incredible new display?” It’s a struggle, I tell ya.
Maybe I’ll just stick with my “low-class” iPad for now. It still works, and honestly, it does everything I need it to. Maybe I’ll even embrace my newfound underdog status. After all, there’s something to be said for sticking with what you know and love, even if it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles. And hey, if anyone asks, I’ll just tell them I’m saving up for that car down payment. That’s way cooler than a fancy new iPad, right?
