What should I replace first?

Later in the year Im thinking about upgrading to the newest iPhone or iPad. I currently have the iPhone 12 Pro and iPad pro 11", I use both equally, the battery life on the iPad is the worst I would say.

I think the iPhone will be ok for ios17 support, but the iPad not. Is that the case?

I wouldn't say I use the iPad Pro features much but I like the fact it has Face ID.

Do you think I would be best upgrading the iPad?

Is there any news of a new iPad Pro in 2023 or even a non pro version but with Face ID? I can't go back to finger print recognition now.

There likely won't be new iPad Pros coming in 2023, but a major upgrade and redesign is coming early next year, probably with OLED displays. We might see a spec-bump to the iPad Air later this year though, so that might be a good choice as well.

Thanks, will keep a look out then, the pro version isn't a must for me on the iPad, its just that it had Face ID, hopefully the Air and other versions eventually get Face ID as standard.

I have an iPhone 12 Pro and as soon as the 15 comes out, I'll be getting it. The iPad can wait, I only use it to browse the web, nothing intensive.

Yeah actually that makes sense really, I only use the iPad for basic stuff, so I will leave that until I really need a new one, actually the battery life on it has been ok this past week.

I use my iPhone for a lot more things.
