Never say never... I got the first generation iPad, and was happy that I did. But then, it was not that expensive. But yes, especially with such a new product category, you really want to wait a few generations, if you want to get the best product for your money. Just look how quickly iPhones evolved and this Vision Pro is even more groundbreaking.

It was quickly followed by an iPad that was much thinner, nearly 2x faster, a bit lighter, and supported for 4 more iOS versions.

As I said, I was happy. In the end it is always the relation on how you balance quickly vs. spending money on a first-gen product. But yes, most iPad customers probably were happier with the 2nd gen.
