To me the biggest benefit of the this device would be for music creation apps. Much easier to play a virtual piano on a larger screen.
Also -- reading comics (of course!).

Is an actual update to the iPad mini a possibility for Monday? It doesn't seem like them to leave one iPad line behind in design and features compared to the other one when in 2013 they were on the same page..
Do we actually know if this is happening? Honestly this product seems uncharacteristic of Apple, but that's just me.
How would iPad Pro suite businesses more than the current range of iPads - unless it gets its own iOS enhancements?
I'm very sure the 12" is going to happen - but without enhancements to use the extra screen size - not sure what benefits there are over the current range.

Obviously, jeez what was I thinking.

It is just you, you are uncharacteristically not Apple.
Dropping iPad prices across the board by $50-$100 would be more effective at driving sales. Most people I know think the 64GB iPad Air 2 at $600 is expensive enough already. I don't see much of a market for a $700-$900 iPad Pro unless there's going to be a lot more to it than just a large screen, better quality speakers, and a stylus.
You said it twice. You are so going to get the iPad Pro. and while you are confessing. You might as well admit that you are going to get the Apple Watch II when it comes out, even though you love your Apple Watch I.

I see a sales opportunity opening. You are curious eh?
I've been using my iPad for several years now, and I am realizing I really don't like tablets that much. My next purchase will be the latest version of the the MacBook Air. Tablets are too limited for my needs. I think a lot of people agree, and the sales numbers show this.
You must be looking for the X-files thread. Move along.

Maybe everyone who wanted one bought one in the last 5 years
I've got a 6plus and expected not to use my mini any more so I was fully prepared to sell it or pass it on to family. You know what? Totally different device and I still use the iPad mini a lot. A 6plus actually has about 50% of the physical screen of an iPad mini - two pluses side by side is about the same size as a mini screen. Not to mention there are apps which are iPad only, or just work better on an iPad. The 6plus is a big phone and I like the extra screen space but I use the iPad more when I can sit down and relax.
For Pro Photographers
For professional photographers wondering "why Apple abandoned" them with Photos app, the iPad Pro is the other shoe that has yet to drop.
Photos app on a Mac is perfectly suited for a desktop/laptop. Detailed editing such as brush work is better suited to direct manipulation on an iPad.
An iPad Pro with a larger screen and a pressure sensitive stylus would be a photographers dream. Start editing and sorting images on the Mac app, pick up an iPad Pro to do more detailed editing and go back to the Mac where the edits are now applied.

Ha! Yeah I do. Large or plump nose, looking left. A woman, perhaps. Aged about 85? I have too much time on hands today...
To which I'll agree and add on that once the iPad Air was introduced there hasn't been a new compelling reason to upgrade.
I've still got my Amiga 500! And my Commodore 128. Probably have a 64 still around somewhere. And tons of floppy disks
To me this proves that there will be digitizer support. Why would they be having so much trouble just producing a slightly larger display? They wouldn't.... Unless they were trying to perfect stylus input, which I think (and hope) they are .

Surface Pro, yo. The only thing that MIGHT make me deviate away from my Surface addiction is the iPad Pro. But that's only if Apple starts respecting their iPad line more and start making it as more of a computer and not a play thing.
or its not a delay because like the tv, it isn't real

if this is real it will likely have touch id cause of the whole Apple Pay hype
