What does obsolete mean to you? There’s nothing obsolete about a 2019 iPad Pro. It received the most recent iPadOS update and it’ll certainly receive an update to iPadOS 17. The hardware is as good or better than current entry level iPads. The battery should still be good, but maybe yours needs replaced.

From people that use these sorts of terms in my life, it's an internal justification to make a new purchase, usually with a payment plan.
Hmm, if that were the case I would have just done it already. But no, I looked at the trade in value for it via Apple's exchange program, and they said...they would be happy to recycle it for me.
I’m not sure I understand. Is your definition of obsolete based on trade in value? What about resale value? What about functionality?
