doesn't sound like this will be the case unless the body of the device is really the body of a 12.9.I think this would replace the 12.9” model not co-exist with it. So save up

Anyone that thought the iPad was dead and about to be buried should be REALLY concerned about the Mac. The iPad sells twice as many units as the Mac.
It’s still valuable to know how many people “in the world” are concerned about the bug. If seven people are reporting it, but 2007 are reporting a different bug, then they will align resources to fix the most serious/most reported bugs first.
There is no company that’s able to ship a software product with zero bugs. That’s been a reality since the beginning, they’ve just recently stopped pretending it was something they could do.
So, all software companies just fix the most serious bugs (that allow them to release) and iteratively work on the pile of remaining bugs, some obscure, some obvious, all prioritized once every two weeks (most likely).There’s a lot of folks that are effectively dumping everything into a filesystem bucket even if it doesn’t belong. “I can’t compile in the Files app” is not the same as “There’s no Xcode for the iPad.
In almost every case I’ve seen recently, anyone complaining about the filesystem or the file management aren’t talking about either of those, they’re talking about bugs in the implementation of those at best and completely non-file related features at worse.

Yeah. Aware of all that. Problem is, Apple are recently shipping bugs that simply could not have been missed in alpha let alone beta. The most obvious example that springs to mind is breaking the Safari sidebar and making the user jump through multiple hoops to do what was once an automated action. And they still haven’t fixed it in five point releases. Apple Watch has a massive shortcuts bug that turns shortcuts into longcuts and they still haven’t fixed that. Et cetera et cetera.
We can make exceptions only so far. Truth be told their QC has been flushed down the toilet. Only my opinion but deep down I think we all know it to be true.

My thinking, as well. If Apple could finally cut the hamstring in iPadOS and make it a fully functional “computer”, I’d happily pass along my 2018.
I had an original generation Surface Pro that I literally built a full desktop around. Once I can do that with the iPad, I’ll do just that.
I‘m in for 14” iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard. I use my 2021 12.9 and MKB for many things. I have a M1 Max 14” MBP, but I use that for software engineering with two LG 32” 4K displays, and it essentially never sleaves the clamshell mode it’s in. My iPad Pro handles just about everything else in my life.
like with anything if you take care of your stuff you won't have a problem. my 12.9 pro has gone in my bag since launch and it has no such issues.

People just need to stop wishing for the next category to die. Full stop.
The iPad is going nowhere.
The Mac is going nowhere.
The iPhone is going nowhere.
They’re all performing stronger than ever.
With the 14.1 inch iPad Pro I would expect the new tablet to feature a full laptop capacity tablet, than just another iPad Pro which’s features and functions are still limited to the mobile device’s capacity and functions.
I also see the apple fully transitioning from MacBook to the full functional iPad Pro in the near future, once apple starts testing the iPad Pro with laptop capabilities.
Laptops’ era has come to its end. It’s dwindling slowly but effectively. Otherwise another larger display in iPad Pro wouldn’t make any sense if its capacity, features and capabilities will remain limited to a mobile device.
I see the iPad Pro to be the new platform for all computing tasks in the near future. I’ve envisioned this long time ago and hoping I can see it happen soon.
I haven’t opened my MacBook Pro 2020 version for a while because my iPad Pro handled most of my needs. It’s so convenient to use the touchscreen on iPad, and it’s so Inconvenient to use the mouse on the MacBook Pro.

Braintreehouse might need to make a new Sketchboard Pro with a larger recess in the main frame to accommodate the insert required for a 14.1" iPad Pro tablet...?
So they're keeping the 12.9" and adding the 14.1"? Why not just replace the 12.9" with a 14.1" that has thinner bezels? And move the 11" up to 12" with thinner bezels. A 12" iPad with thinner bezels is what I really want so bad. The 12.9" feels big to me and the 11" is a bit cramped. Something in-between with an updated display would be perfect. BUT for me personally I don't see myself replacing my 12.9" M1 16GB RAM 1TB SSD iPad Pro anytime soon. There is just not scenario where that ever makes sense, it's too fast for what it is, even on iPadOS 16.
I actually started to wonder if this would be the case. New iPad Pro’s are 12 and 14 inch rather than 11 and 12.9.
And with some now casting doubts over a 12 inch MacBook, I wonder if this 12 inch device in development is actually the new iPad Pro…
Obviously pure speculation. But seemingly make more sense than a 11, 13 and 14 inch iPad Pro.
It will irritate those who already own expensive Magic Keyboards, but bumping the screen size of the current iPad Pro tablets seems like a reasonable idea...
I would definitely go for a 12" iPad Pro; mini-LED display, WiFi, M2 SoC, 16GB RAM, & 512GB SSD...
I would just hope Logitech would be time-responsive in regards to updating the Folio Touch keyboard case...! ;^p

I will say it's par the course for anyone buying a specialised accessory designed to fit your current apple product (and only that product). You have to be prepared that it may not be compatible with the next model. Otherwise, go with a stand and wireless keyboard if you want to ensure backwards compatibility.
I might do it too, and maybe I'll finally sell off some of my old devices just to make room in my house!
Yes. Because you want one so badly. Apple has heard your pleas of anticipation and cries like a little schoolgirl.
$1599 and not a dollar less.
They could make it flexible so's we can roll 'em up for swatting and chasing away stray cats and door-to-door salespeople!
someone with poor eyesight may be able to hold an ipad, and see better than they could on a smartphone
things to think about before judging others.
He seemed fine. It was just an odd choice for a camera. It *can* be used as a camera, but should it be used as a camera *everywhere*? I mean, fine, you do you, in his case, but it still looks skep...
youre just doubling down on assuming someone else couldn't possibly have a justifiable reason to do what they're doing, that affects absolutely no one else, just so you can make it your problem, and cast judgement.
i say "it could be easier for them to see, possibly with poor vision"
"he seemed fine"
thank goodness our judgement call for people's health and well-being is based on "seemed fine"
I'm judgy? The guy was holding it over his head. He could barely see the screen, and in some pictures I think he was just winging it. But, of course why would I think it funny, and kinda cringey. I saw a person with a full SLR rig, and thought THATS funny and cringey too. A lot of work for a picture. Plus traveling with it too...

dear lord, you're so far deep into being upset over how other people live without affecting others that you can't climb out to see the reality of making things your problem that are neither
a) your problem
b) relevant
people with an expensive DSLR body and an assortment of lenses could be a hobbyist trying to get amazing shots of their journeys to keep for memory. and can be professionals making huge amounts of money selling stunning shots that are not accomplished with an iPhone.
"he could barely see the screen"
soooo someone who could barely see a large screen is better served....with a smaller screen?
would you care to...back off and leave humanity alone while people just enjoy their lives? if these kinds of things *really* bother you *so much* that you need to pay *that much* attention to someone else while you're allegedly on your own travels, you're welcome to buy a cabin deep in the woods and become a hermit.
I'm not the one making this a problem. I related a funny incident that I observed on a vacation trip. Bye...
