I need to spend some money that is part of my work compensation package. Either I spend it, or I lose it.

Buying Apple products is easy since it’s reimbursed without question. Phones, tablets and computers are fine. Unfortunately, no monitors or peripherals.

Anyways, is there an Apple event upcoming where they are potentially updating products lines? I know, it’s not a guarantee, just a possibility.

If I do not spend it by 6/30, I lose it.
 
They just launched the new M3 macbook airs & pro's, so if either one of those meets your needs/requirements, they should suck up at least some of that cash :D

Also they typically have a developers conference in the spring of each year, where they announce some new hardware, either desktops, iMacs, mini's or iPads....

The credible rumors suggest Apple is launching multiple products this month, but without an event attached.

The MacBook Air M3 just launched earlier this month. Next up is a reported iPad refresh that includes iPad Pro M3 models and an iPad Air M2. You might see a new iPhone SE, but not counting on it.

I would like to get a new iPad. That is the device I use the most. A new iPad Pro, maxed out.

You'll probably be very happy in the next few weeks, then! Besides the M3, the iPad Pro is believed to be switching to OLED screens, improved cameras, and an updated Magic Keyboard.

Excellent. I use the keyboard as well. I have a Mac Studio, iPhone and the iPad Pro. I use the iPad the most.

I do have a MacBook Pro as well, rarely gets used.
 
Just got an email that the developer conference is in June. Is it rumored the new iPads will be announced before then?
 
Technically 6/30 is my deadline, but with form input and payments. A bit past mid may is the realistic deadline/

I see an Apple event on 5/7 (on their website).

I suspect you'll be very happy with that event. It's clearly iPad-related, and most folks expect the iPad Pro M3, iPad Air M2, a new Magic Keyboard, and a new Apple Pencil.

Just ordered the 13 inch pro, nano glass, 1 TB for $2055 shipped and tax. I’ll get reimbursed $2000.

Perfect.

I'm more than a little envious. If I knew I could handle my workflow on an iPad, I'd seriously consider a similar setup... well, maybe without nano-textured glass. I love the thought of a cellular model that I could use to stay connected on vacation.

That nano-textured glass looked, sorry to say, but pretty bad at least in MKBHD's video. He even said it takes away from the "OLED'ness" and at least in video, I tend to agree. I like my OLED glossy. But, really depends on your use case and environment, I suppose.

It's really one of those features that you get if you know you need it. Photo and video editors in the field; DJs who don't want the stage lights obscuring the screen; you get the idea.

I just got it because it got me over the $2000 mark without going way too far over. I did not see any reviews on it ahead of time, it was strictly a numbers decision for me. I hope I like it!

Same with the storage memory. Right now I have 1Tb on this iPad Pro and I got 1Tb on the new one. Currently I have 850Gb available on this iPad. Clearly I didnt need the storage memory.

The reimbursement is use it or lose it. I choose to use it.

Edit. My compensation resets in July, so if the M4 Studios come out, I can also snag that.

Second edit. Watched a video, I think I will like the nano screen. Currently I have a matte screen protector on my iPad. I like it on the iPad, I do not like that kind of screen on my desktop. I guess with the desktop I can easily control the glare, with the mobility of the iPad, its much harder.
