How long do you guys normally kept an ipad before upgrading it

My two 3 year old 2021 M1 ipad pad pro's still seem to be plenty fast enough for what i use them for so i don't feel like they need to be upgraded yet.

I usually wait until there are signs that suggest I need an upgrade (noticeable slow performance, battery life etc.) and I'm probably just at that point now with my 2018 iPad Pro. It was the 1st generation of that new style/format and it's been fantastic, performance is actually still largely there but battery life is woeful.

I was thinking or more hoping i will get 5 to 6 years out of mine
 
Am i right in thinking apple normally support ISO updates for 5 years
But not sure if this 5 years is for each version of the ipad (Standard/Air/Pro)

EU ruling comes in to force forcing anyone/company that makes devices with batteries in up to a certain capacity easily user replaceable in things such as, phones, tablets, laptops, etc. Also same reason as Apple begrudgingly added USB-C to their phones, because they had to if they wanted to keep selling them. :)

I'm in exactly the same boat with mine - still works brilliantly but battery life is starting to suffer.
Incredibly annoying the battery health feature doesn't exist for this model and that you have to take it to apple to get a proper "reading".
