I suppose, but I wasn't even considering an iPad without either of those accessories (the keyboard, especially, for taking notes in class). Either way, I will be getting it--wish the accessories were a bit less pricey, though.
Got a tip for us?

i got to say, i hate saying "steve jobs wouldn't have done this would have done that" because the man is dead and nobody knows what he would or would not do.
but god damn, if steve jobs was alive, he would not approve that camera bump on a tablet that's meant to be used flat against a table. i have never felt sicker about apple's future than i am today.

all in all this event fails to introduce anything new, they could of have closed the online store and make the announcement online, oh well
Siri is almost a joke in 2016. It could be much better integrated providing full system and third-party apps control, so you could really use your phone hands-free and the screen would be active while you're doing this. "Open this app, now do that, show me that, copy this picture/sentence/paragraph, send it to Mike via iMessage, check online status for Jane and call/message her on the first service where she's online. When Mike replies, read it to me." Everything of that is possible, it's just a laziness or blindness. What changed since it was introduced? Nearly nothing.
But I was talking about a different thing, the bio sensors which would constanly gather and analyze user's key parameters and build a whole picture, telling him if something goes wrong or needs attention. But Cook said he doesn't want to deal with FDA or whatever is the organization who approves such medical devices, so he'll probably just sell wristbands and crippled watches until it's too late.
Agreed. I was going to preorder one, until I saw the lens. I'm not being forced to buy a case to overcome a design flaw. I don't use cases on my apple products and don't want an iPad with the extra bulk.
If someone is going to be using the iPad to replace thier PC workflow for photography, thier camera is going to be leagues better than the iPad . Silly silly decision to turn a stable device into one that wobbles and claim it as a PC replacement.
I do, especially when not long ago they used to make fun of Microsoft's surface line, saying that tablets are consumption only devices, only to rip them off later and pretend they invented a category
This new iPad is a surface 3 ripoff , just like the bigger one is surface pro 3/4 ripoff
I hope so!! I'm getting the new iPad Pro (updating from my Air 2) and I already own a smart cover and I hope that it works together.. The sizes are about the same, so..
Yes, VAT is included in EU prices, but:
iPad Air 2 at launch started at 499$/499€.
iPad Pro 9.7" starts at 599$/689€.
Sales taxes did not change as far as I know. Moreover, inflation has been close to 0% in EU. You still have a +100$ increase in US and a +189€ (+213$) increase in EU...
As I mentioned in another reply, the fact that Apple went out of their way to compare to a game console for the first time, says something, I believe. Yes it may be to older technology, but I think it points to the fact that Apple may be interested in going after the console space. I was actually surprised that the statement happened with the ipad and not the ATV.More powerful than an Xbox 360 is quite a cool boast. Not to take that away from them, but it's kind of funny for a number of ways.
a) the xbox 360 was introduced 10 years ago.
b) the chipset for the 360 was based on the the IBM PPC - Alpha kits for the 360 were ... Power Mac G5s. So what Apple is telling us is that these iPads exceed the G5 - well it is slightly lighter
[wishing I could delete this very redundant post]
They said Xbox 360. You know, from, like 2005. It was an odd thing to say about a product released in 2016.

Because Apple is desperate. They got to milk what's left of the iPhone.
The already through desktop users to the sharks and it's clear they don't give a darn about us anymore.
Part of it is the exchange rate.Yes, VAT is included in EU prices, but:
iPad Air 2 at launch started at 499$/499€.
iPad Pro 9.7" starts at 599$/689€.

My guess is the majority of iPads are used with at least smart covers that are folded back. Apple probably concluded that a camera upgrade would help sell the deal for many users. Otherwise they'd have just used the same camera as the 12.9" Pro.
Also, the iPad wasn't really meant to be used flat against a table. It was meant to be picked up and held. That's why Steve Jobs insisted the first version have the rounded back. He might not have liked the camera bump but that would have been for aesthetic reasons.
This iPad Pro is getting a lot of good reviews from casual users. It has a lot of bells and whistles but is not bulky like the 12.9" iPad Pro.
2gb of ram being reported on tech sites now.
I think I'll wait and pick up a used air 2 64gb.

The Canadian dollar is weak af now. Sorry. $599 US is $792 Canadian. So you're pretty much paying the US price but is your currency.
Why? I have the 6s plus and I never have found a good use for 3d touch.
i actually have to agree with this statement. I don't really find anything easier with it.
Please. A 1mm camera bump on a 230mm long device yields an angle of 0.25 degrees. In other words, as you can read about on any review for this device - this is negligible to the point of non-existent. It's an aesthetic imperfection, not a functional one.
