$449! Wow that's a big price increase for the base model.

How does the cheapest iPad in the lineup get a landscape camera and the 12.9” Pro is stuck with a portrait camera. Just wow Apple. What a terrible update.

 

[Kylo83]

As predicted it’s not a good update is that all they could do, the m2 isn’t needed and they didn’t even bring wireless charging lol nah another Apple update I’m skipping

 

[Mr. Dee]

We are reaching peak Apple products and the iPad is definitely one of them. What next, the iPad now wiggles?

 

[Kylo83]

So, these releases didn't warrant a keynote, huh

No they are nothing good all minor things

$449 starting price.

"We have big news for Pros".... Really?

I'll keep my iPad Pro 11" 2018.

 

[chrism_scotland]

Not worth it, clearly a bigger upgrade coming next year and I expect the front facing camera will be on the long side per the new base iPad.

UK prices have fair taken a jump - £140 for a Magic Pencil 2 and £380 for the Magic Keyboard - thats a £20 and £50 increase.

iPad as well - the 1TB 5G 12.9" has gone from £1800 to £2230

 

[haydn!]

12.9” sees a £250/25% price increase. Thanks inflation! 😂 Though storage upgrades seem a little less this time around?

I was just looking at my M1 12.9" iPad Bro and thinking... wow this thing sure seems under-powered... or maybe that thought was underutilized? So yeah, I'm looking forward to the release of iPadOS 16.

Considering wifi 6E has less distance to its signal than wifi 6 I dont really think a phone needs it tbh. Not sure an iPad needs it either but there you go, I'll test it with my 6E router, when I get a new iPad and see how many inches away I can get get and still have a signal.

that was said about 5ghz...but everyone wants it
Wifi 6e is the future for now and i bet the iphone 15 will have it (then you will change your mind!? ) its just lazy from apple, not even the M2 macbook air has it, so that logic is kind of irrelevant

21% increase in EU !

So the insanely powerful M1 iPad Pro from last year can’t do the Pencil hover? lol my god.

 

[mozz2020]

Why haven't they moved the front facing camera on the Pro??

 

[Alexrat1996]

Should i return my iPad Pro 12.9 m1 i got October 6 it has till October 20 for a return is there any reason to get this one i have wifi 6e but it don’t much nor on wifi 6.

 

[Kylo83]

Another product like the series 8 that ain’t worth it; just get the cheaper m1 iPad Pro there’s nothing new that’s important

 

[mimeArtist]

Have the 2020 12.9 pro so not in the market for this, interested to see how the hover works though, although I kind of like the fact I'm either pressing the screen or I'm not... The pencil on Surface Pro has had this capability for years and I've not really liked it.

 

[dorkimoe]

So, these releases didn't warrant a keynote, huh

no need really. its not much different than the 5th gen pro

 

[Tevosn]

Obligatory keeping my iPad Pro 2018 11” for another year

I’ll do that too, was thinking of upgrading, but not without improved display.

 

[MayaUser]

As predicted it’s not a good update is that all they could do, the m2 isn’t needed and they didn’t even bring wireless charging lol nah another Apple update I’m skipping

how so? if you are coming from an 10.5" ipad pro is a huge update...if you are coming from ipad air 2 is a huge update...
Nobody is making great updates one generation after another

 

[SmugMaverick]

Utterly disgusting and hilarious from apple

where do I start.

pencil 1 with adapter, huge price increases, no landscape camera on pro, no MagSafe, awful colours, just a big L for apple this year.

 

[scrm]

A nothingburger upgrade. See you next year for a complete redesign and landscape camera etc.

 

[MayaUser]

So the insanely powerful M1 iPad Pro from last year can’t do the Pencil hover? lol my god.

who said is about the SoC and not about the pencil itself ?!

 

[displayator]

Sorry, but if you want a new 11" buy this one...it may be the last 11" ipad pro
I think apple will stick with the ipad air as 11" tablet and the pros goes for 14" same panel as the 14" Mbp

There's no way I am going to spend a grand (eu VAT) on the 11" when for a few hundred more the 13" has the XDR display. If the M1 13 and the 11 had the same screen when they were release I would have bought at the time.

I think there are still plenty of differentiators with the Air to keep the pro 11 alive : the Lidar and camera system, Thunderbolt, Pro Motion.
