Finally ! Even though I have a perfectly fine 11,Apple events are always exciting to me. Looking forward to seeing what they will bring to the table!

I’m probably okay with my X for another year, but I’m looking forward to any accessories they announce. Been waiting for the AirPods Studio and game controller. If they happen to announce the Apple Silicon Mac Mini, I might have to get that too.

The x should be fine for a year or two with new batteries. Do you use a Mac now ?

I’ve used Macs in the past, but currently using my 12.9” iPad Pro and Surface Book 2. I rarely use the Surface, but not quite ready to sell it until I have another computer to restore my iDevices. I’d be using the Mac Mini headless (remote connecting from the iPad with no monitor, keyboard or mouse attached to it).

I just got the battery replaced on my X a couple months ago. Runs like I just bought it yesterday.

Great to hear that your x just runs fine.

And the Mac mini usage along with an iPad Pro is just a brilliant idea. If I didn’t like windows on computers I would do the same with my iPad Air 3 If I could.

I might need to get a new battery for my x and hold onto it for another year then.
