Ipad 2018 worth a buy now?

[srinjoydutta1]

I was thinking about buying the ipad 2018. Since it launched in march and got 2gb ram with A10 Fusion processor, I was wondering if it will be enough to last me for at least coming 3-4 years?

I see no reason why not.

Will 2gb ram be enough for 3-4 years?

Multitasking won't be great but it will work.

Honestly with Apple its a tough call on ram. They take planned obsolescence to a whole new level but they usually like to sell their "old" products even after new ones launch so the "less fortunate" may be allowed into their hollowed walled garden. So as stated above by jaslion it should still work for the time frame your talking. It won't be stellar by the time you hit year 4 but it should work....(crosses fingers) but I would expect a nice new iOS upgrade at some point to very much slow you down if history is any indicator.

Can confrim that as I have a 4th gen ipad which is incredibly slow on IOS 10 is still nice and snappy on IOS 8 and even 9. Still does not change the fact that multitasking is barely possible due to the low amount of ram.
