No ipad mini for years is sad. Why not even bit of upgrade to ipad mini. I don't understand.

Have ou tried Termux ?
Yeah, it’s good but iOS also has iSH so the experience is pretty similar.

iSH has to do some insane user-mode x86 emulation, resulting in terrible performance penalty. The experience is not even close to similar where termux runs things directly on the metal.
So, a new M4 chip, up to 10 cores and all kinds of other hotness...yet Apple is still going to treat the iPad with all its big boy computer parts as just a toy computer incapable of compiling code or even giving me a terminal window, let alone run macOS apps. Our house is chocked full of Apple gear, but the idea of spending a cool $1000 on a neutered consumption device gets less appealing with each generation.
Yeah... They should have released the iPad Pro and the Macbook Pro with the M4 at the same time. I'm not interested in the M2 anymore. I really want a beefy Macbook Air, but I want it with a high quality processor. Apple seemingly was recognizing that their userbase wanted more a few years back, and it feels like they're disorganized in this regard still.
Apple has also become more conscious of keeping their older hardware in production for longer. Old Apple Watch SoCs become the new HomePod SoC and Apple TV SoC. If they have more of their stuff on the latest and greatest, all their production will have less time to amortise itself, and they would need to either have a greater peak of production output for each product or stockpile and delay releases which is not free when you have such valuable inventory.
