Exactly, because planned obsolesce happens even though there isn't even a newer model of the 9.7 iPad Pro...

Hardware, software perhaps or the need for a new Steve Jobs intervention.
Marketing. What else is Apple good at these days?
Because if you don't have anything running in background it just goes to "sleep" without any battery drain - I never turn my iPad off, ever.
The only time I ever turn my phone off is when I'm on an overseas flight, otherwise it's always on, as well.
I don't have an iPad Pro, but this has happened twice to me with my Air 2 in the last two weeks. Both times I picked up my iPad, typed in the passcode, nothing happens for a few seconds, then it goes blank and a few seconds later comes up to the Apple Screen. Oddly, though, it 'boots' up much more quickly than when turning it on after shutting it down.
Good thing only a handful of people have upgraded their ipads since the retina version came out.
I am not sure how the people do it, but I leave most of my Apple devices on. My main Mac, my wife's MBA, all the iPhones my family uses, 2 iPads, ATVs.
I didn't think too many people turn these devices off. Not that I have an issue with people turning off the devices, but if there isn't anything going on in the background, the battery will last a while on most devices.
For example, 1st gen iPad, it is 6 years old. My daughter uses it sometimes, and we only need to charge it every couple weeks. We never turn it off.
People's perception of a company changes overtime reflecting how they do their business. I would say putting 5400rpm hhd in a premiumly priced pc; decreasing ssd by a third of previous generation size in fusion drive (the first time actually this tech company is taking reverse steps) and only mentioning in a fine print; putting obsolete 16gb on iOS devices to make "staring as low as blah blah" advertisements; skipping practical 32gb that middle class needs to sell 64gb in oder to generate more income all shows how they are nickle and diming everyone. I dont know who would find these attractive. I for one would love to praise Apple but realistically I find their strategy rather unsavory for such an established company.

I have to disagree. I've been using Apple products in one form or another since the early 90s and currently own and use an iMac, iPhone 6, and a 9.7" iPad Pro. While I continue to use their products, because I am deeply invested in the ecosystem, I will tell you that my ecosystem experience has been waning for the past 5 or so years and as a result in brings about some sharp criticism about Apple and the way they operate. In fact, sometimes they PMO to the point where, if there was an iBooks App for Android, I would be looking at other devices.

Nothing goes over my head! My reflexes are too fast, I would catch it.

Yeah, I would like to see Wozniak involved again, not as CEO but as a member that can influence products and software, definetly would be great to have him around as an Apple employee. To recruit a new CEO I think somebody that doesn't believe that watch bands requires secrecy or at least it's own event. This sounds crazy but I wonder how Panos Panay would do in Apple.
Sure Tim. Thanks for sharing.
Yes it is. I have had more problems with iOS 9, than any other iOS I have used. This is on a few devices.
Every release since iOS 6 has been shaky right off the hop - pretty disappointing really.
yep i agree. I have had every iphone up to the 6 and things look bleak. I may have gotten a lemon phone though. Here are my issues:
GPS often does not work (stuck on "locating") with multiple apps
constant wifi drops
phone shuts down and is dead with battery percentage ranging from 50 to 20%
facetime camera surround has moved (again) blocking the camera
lightning connector seems "loose" (cords often just fall out or dont seat properly; yes I have checked for and removed lint)
touch ID works 10% of the time
many of these are hardware issues but there are a slew of software problems as well
Then it must be your first experience with iOS because iOS 8 was the absolute worst iOS to date.
