What a load of crap for 13" buyers. My god. 1.2MP front camera on that honker and then now a 5MP AND iPhone 6S camera on the back. What a load of crap and way to shaft buyers who shelled out for a 128LTE model without BAND 12 support from Tmobile - only now to realize you have a 256GB model for $20 more AND band 12 LTE support from Tmobile.

F-You Apple.

Everyone saw this version coming the minute the 12" one was announced, which is obscenely huge for most consumers. This was always going to happen and anybody who bought an original iPad Pro should have been prepared for that.

I was expecting a little less for the 128 GB but time to upgrade the 3rd gen... Hopefully I won't get ****ed like when I bought the 3rd gen and 3 days later (well months but you get the idea) the 4th gen was released.
Oh and $100 for the Apple pencil. Expensive as hell but the praise it gets well...

As for the $180 smart keyboard no thanks, I'll stick to my $10 monoprice smart cover with plugable foldable keyboard.

Sigh, I'm feeling equally angry. They screwed me over with iPad 3 and they're now pulling the same crap.

I got admit that's a great update, about time Apple! this its a step in right direction :) iPad Pro and iPhone SE are fantastic! not a huge fan of small factor..but I'll definitely sacrifice that for a gorgeous killer design

My shopping list will be the new :apple: TV, iPad Pro 9.7 and the Gear S2, while the Mac Pro and Galaxy S7 Edge are nice but to expensive

The iPad lineup looks like a mess

$799 iPad Pro 12.9" - A9x
$599 iPad Pro 9.7" - A9x but better cameras, TrueTone display than the bigger brother
$399 iPad Air 2 - A8x (2014)
$399 iPad mini 4 - A8 (2014 internals released in 2015)
$269 iPad mini 2 - A7 (unchanged from 2013)

The iPad mini 4 should have had a price drop to $299 since the Air 2 went to $399. Mini 2 is honestly too laggy to still be sold today (I have one bought in 2013)

Well, if you needed the updated camera, pencil support or 4 speakers (?) I could see one wanting this iPad, but for what most people I know use it for (web browsing etc.) the 9.7 Pro just is not worth $200 more than a iPad Air 2. JMHO...

Glad we don't see 16GB anymore. Hopefully we see that nonsense drop off the iPhone with the 7 at the end of the year.

More graphics power than an XBOX? Are gaming consoles now in the Apple cross-hair? Sounds right to me.

They never will be till theirs proper support. Which will NEVER happen since there are millions of iPad 2 and 3 models out there and developers program for the lowest common denominator.
