Even running 2D-ish games on iPad long term warms the device up to a point of dropping frames. iPhone is much worse tho.
If the rumored prices are true, probably they should reduce their forecasts more significantly....we'll see!
Imagine paying this much for a tablet that is still severely hampered by iPadOS, OLED display or not.
I would suspect iPad OS will see a pretty substantial overhaul - there was almost too much backlash this last time... We might actually see a more "MacOS" type interface... Apple can do it right.
Or course your going to sell less when you double the price.
lol for a tablet that much money. Lol no thank you. Nowhere near as useful as a laptop and I don’t need both at that price. So a laptop it is.

There will be no new iPadOS before September, and I wouldn’t expect major changes even then. Apple is selling more than twice as many iPads than Macs. Most users aren’t asking for a different interface.
It takes them a full year to adapt features previously released on iOS (such as App Library or the new Wallpaper menu)
I DOUBT IT
Samsung’s tablet has OLED and only $800. Sure, iPad has superior OS (essentially by default) and better design, but it is NOT $700 better.
Tim Cook has exploited Apple fandom and loyalty for 10+ years, but it is waning at last and Microsoft, under Nadella, is far more innovative.

I have a Galaxy Tab S9 and for tablets OLED seems the way to go as the viewing angle is ideal. Regular LED displays (mini and probably micro) have a very slight shift at large angles. It's slight but it's there. Things have come a long way though.
There may be downsides. Of course I'm no expert so, and people may disagree. I'm happy with it.

Completely agree. We've hit the point in computing technology where the average user (that would include me) isn't really coming close to pushing their machines to their limits. I'm running a 2021 M1 MacBook Pro and there is 0 reason at this point that I need to upgrade. It runs flawlessly. Same thing with my 12.9" M1 iPad. There's nothing I need it to do that it can't. Yep.....I'm just an average guy. But so are most people.
$1500 for a base 11-inch? 😳
I was sure I was getting one of these but not so much anymore..

But but but they're using a new super duper OLED that makes it even BRIGHTER!!!omfg wow
Now give us $1500!!! for the same basic experience on iPadOS but for the price of a MacBook Pro.
Sorry but I think Apple leaked those increases and now weeks later after the outrage and mocking, they're going to lower orders instead of price. 😆
Every week Apple become more and more out of touch with their actual customers as they court china, Russia and trust fund kids from Connecticut.

I buy them used. I haven't looked in a bit, but buying Apple watch and iPads halfway through a generation can sometimes find 40-50% savings. My 4th Gen 12.9 iPad Pro is still fine, although the 2nd gen one we got for $350 4 or so years back is pretty slow.
I know people will love it, but I'm not sure iPadOS has enough going for it, but maybe they're gonna just turn them into Surface Pros and run MacOS on them to justify the price.
$1800 for an iPad Pro with OLED screen….and no calculator.
Does Apple ever do the opposite? This is a pure marketing ploy. Every product they release these days, they lower the expectation for the markets. Do any market analysis actually fall for this re-release slight of hand?? Looking at the share price, they all do.
I’m a BIG Apple supporter, but people should stop buying their products. The price point now is just an insult. I’ve owned several iPad Pro in the years, since the second gen 10.7” back in 2017, and I’m writing from a 12.9” M1. The initial $799 price was already quite high, but now it’s getting ridiculous. Apple needs to get real.
I don’t see how this screen can cost 700$ more than a mini-led one
Really? Does anything shock these days from Apple. The iPhone 15 Pro is already over $AU3000. The company that used to claim to be pirates, are now profiteering to unbelievable heights.
