Davinci Resolve & Octane X is huge for iPad OS – 2K 23 is also out on Arcade – in short the ipad is becoming a software beast as well

I wish

Is the 11" ipad pro mini led too ?

Is the 11" ipad pro mini led too ?

sadly no

I still can’t believe the OS on my 10 year old MacBook Pro has a more functional Photos app than an M2 IPad does.

Today’s announcement only underscores how incredible and future-proofed the M1 iPad Pro is. 18 months after its April 2021 debut, Apple comes out with a new device, and it’s almost exactly the same.

I also wish they release a smart folio that actually protected the sides of the ipads, like for example the dang corners.

Where are your getting yours?

I see people on a frequent basis with a variety of sizes, from the mini to the 12.9, and portrait is the most used orientation.

And I see the complete opposite.

New pro apps are coming to the ipadOS....nice to see the grow for this segment since the hardware is already there

No they aren’t. The apps will remain the same across the entire iPad lineup.

I had really really really hoped the screen on the 11" would be brought forward to the technology of 18 month ago at least.

The hovering part is the only slightly interesting part… with my M1 Pro there’s zero reason to upgrade

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

Nearly everything apple in UK has had a 20-25% increase in price compared to prior year due to pound fall and lack of near term confidence in its recovery. It hurts for sure, but isn’t unprecedented.

 

[tivoboy]

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.

Yes, and yes. Get your return order confirmation now!

Budget ipad has new landscape FT camera, Pro doesn't. LOL

 

[techfreak23]

As expected, no mini-LED for the 11”, no upgrade from me.

 

[tufapshakur]

Based on this pricing, the new MacBook Pros are gonna cost around £500/500 Euros more next month than current models.

All the new features and apps would be better on a 14" iPad Pro.

 

[theroaringbadger]

It's basically 13 inches.

A bit confused that they have retained the first gen pencil for the new entry level iPad - wonder if there's any reason why it couldn't be enabled for the higher spec devices?

Camera placement changed to landscape so no place for magnetic charging for gen 2 pencil

 

[Haiku_Oezu]

The pencil hover feature is huge! Crazy this didn’t deserve time at the keynote

 

[tivoboy]

Pandemic update / upgrade for sure!

 

[Seanm87]

You didn't read the article?

It didn’t say when I posted that comment just “more to follow”

 

[symphony]

The basic iPad has landscape camera and function like rows for its keyboard, whereas Magic Keyboard for iPad does not. Wow okay

 

[Poochi]

Thank you Apple. Keeping the same iPad Pro for another year 🥳

Not even MagSafe. And of course no mini-LED for the 11”. And they moved the camera to landscape orientation on the cheap iPad but not the Pro? WTF. Shame on them.

 

[NastyMatt]

I want extended screen support so was sooooo hoping landscape camera on Pro M2 so it was a no brainer.

Landscape camera on iPad had me ready with my cash… several minutes later into the video… no landscape camera on the Pro .. I feel deflated. This fills like an interim bump (like the 2020 over the 2018) and better features will be released in the next IPP but I don’t really want to wait another year.
