Can't wait to see the price point on that.
I know "more cores, more speed" looks great in marketing, but the reality is that precious few apps (and use cases) require it, and there's a tax to pay on mobile devices in terms of battery life.
That being said, Face ID is pretty much a given, and shrinking bezels is awesome. I doubt we'll see OLED screens this go around though.

This is largely baloney. First off you make a fatal assumption here that the user app is the only process running, it isnt. Further i fully expect to see iPads running more background processes as they advance AI features in iOS.eight cores will likely NOT produce performance improvements in most real-world scenarios, actually. Most applications cannot take advantage of that many cores.
thats ok Even My 2017 low cost ipad has a great screen the Pro's even more so
Yet. You guys have to start thinking bigger. Bigger, faster processors will allow more complex applications to run and keep your phone/tablet relevant for longer. I LOVE that Apple builds in processors that aren't irrelevant when shipped and have some headroom.eight cores will likely NOT produce performance improvements in most real-world scenarios, actually.

The same place you "Grip" the current iPad Pro...you really don't. You either work on a table, rest it on your lap, or rest the edge on your stomach while you're lying down.Where exactly are you supposed to grip that rendered iPad?

I suspect there will be a "blending" of MAC OS and iOS over the next fe years. I instinctively want to swim on my MacBook AIr. ====The real question for me is why everything faster/better/shinier with Apple needs to be physically large? Once upon a time we had a phone that fit and could be used by one hand. We also had the iPad Mini, which is small enough to put in my jacket pocket. Lets get SMALL, please == I know Chinese seem to love Phablets, butt come on. Where is the design?It’s time to put macOS onto iPads
There seems to be a collision course between the iPad Pro and the MacBook line that one day will result in a combination of touch screen, entertainment and productivity. I love my iPad, but I generally read books and watch videos and grab my mail. Any higher level productivity like document creation, photo or video editing, happens with my MacBook Pro. It sounds great having 8 cores is a great idea, but won't change the purpose of the iPad. Truly a fast enough chip with retina plateaued the usefulness of the iPad as anything other than entertainment, in my opinion.

Come on Apple, release iBooks Creator
and XCode Apps for the iPad Pro.
Yeah on the one hand, a 4GB 8 core 12" iPad Pro would be as good a reason as any to trade in my OG 12", and let my aging Mid 2012 15" MBP soldier on for another two years, but I'm pretty sure sticker shock is going to put paid to that idea.![]()
There's a dongle for that. /sMore powerful chips are nice. But many iPad Pro users are asking for other features to make iPads more versatile….. like say…. an SDXC card slot?
kind of useless without real operating system able to run desktop apps ..
These chips are not only about energy conservation...they are designed with AR and heavier apps in mind for the future, even if the future is only a 1-2 year product lifecycle.It's for energy conservation; if you have lots of low-power cores, you can easily park them when not in use and throttle right down.
If Apple cared about having lasting products, they wouldn't be so RAM-starved.

Video editing with multiple layers , multiple audio tracks, filters, and text can tax the existing pro. Batch processing photos can also put a lot of strain on the processors now.I know "more cores, more speed" looks great in marketing, but the reality is that precious few apps (and use cases) require it, and there's a tax to pay on mobile devices in terms of battery life.
