I’ve updated my phone, watch, and now iPad in the past two months (no new Macs yet though). The phone was pretty much automatic. I’m on a two year cycle and this was my year to replace the iPhone 7. I also pass my old phones down to my Mom and Dad and my Mom was on a 6 year old iPhone 5, so she really needed the upgrade.
I’d been saving for a new iPad. While my 1st generation 12.9” iPad Pro was still working well, I use it enough that I was intent on replacing it if the new models were a compelling upgrade (and I think they’re very compelling).
The real surprise was the watch. I bought a Series 3 last year and I figured it would last me at least two years. The new health features on the Series 4 were very compelling. Apple offered me enough through their trade in program that I went ahead and bought the new one.
So, three new devices in a couple of months, but no regrets.
