When you’re in landscape mode with a keyboard that gets really challenging really quick. And by challenging, I mean a PITA.

Ohhh, oh this is all kinds of sexy. Would like one of these ta very much. Just need to decide whether i sell my Pro or keep it...
As this is basically going to be a mini iPad Air, I would imagine it to be available in the same colours.
This is the first time they’ve been moved on an iPad since they first came out in 2010. What else is Apple going to do with such a small device and accommodate the Pencil and Smart Connector keyboard cases? As a Kindle Fire owner, Apple is a rock compared to Amazon’s penchant for putting buttons wherever it feels .
Pencil 2 is always on the right side of the iPad, keyboard attach/connect alongside the left side.
Waiting for the specs on this. I was thinking about, finally, upgrading my iPhone7+. But I’ve using the phone less and iPads more As consumption devices. This, with a cellular plan, might be a good supplement to the iPad Pro 12” that I currently have.
Hmm I was rather hoping to see the new iPad Mini launch tomorrow, surely it would make more sense to launch it next to the iPhone then the MacBook Pro? This could be my next iPad.
Among all the things rumored for this year, the Mini is the one I find most tempting. Really a big fan of the Mini line.
(c'mon Apple, just drop the stupid on-device scanning and let me hand you lots of money again)

Common sense, and for recovery purposes? The wholesale move to all touch is a really bad idea. Witness some of the crazy touch reliant functions of Tesla’s when physical buttons are demonstrably better and more practical (although I think they wound some of the design choices back, don’t come after me Tesla fanboys lol).
On my iPad Pro with the keyboard, they’re already on top
Interestingly enough at the same relative location as they are on the Nintendo switch.
Keep it, if it's not very old. I've found extra iPads around the house to be very useful. After I get this Mini, my 2018 pro will now be the kitchen iPad.
My 10.5 Pro was used the majority of the time in Landscape. However since moving to the 12.9 M1 I've used the device more in portrait, unless watching movies or using the Magic Keyboard.
Yeah, I wished it had Face ID as well. Both my iPhone and iPad Pro do so I wish they would all be the same. But looks like no, it will have Touch ID.
I think about this sometimes. Once the iPad became a Pro device, the accuracy of a stylus became beneficial. People write and draw with it. I'm sure people use it for stuff they could clearly use their fingers for though.
Apple is not exactly known for common sense. Back in the day they used to follow the Human Interface Guidelines that they themselves created. But since they threw those in the toilet when they started most of the current interface hide and seek changes I could absolutely see them doing something stupid like removing a headphone jack or substituting face recognition for the touch ID.
