Apple Ramping Up M1 Production as New 12.9-inch iPad Pro Expected to Reach Five Million Shipments in 2021

I think I’m gonna need more than a toy operating system if they shift to M1. MacOS becomes more toylike every day unfortunately, and Apple keeps getting pushier about 2fa, icloud, etc

It's kind of crazy people are using the same (M1) or basically the same (A14) chip from iPhone Mini's all the way to 24" iMacs

The M1 is vastly superior to A14 in just about every way though.

If I were the usual type of MacRumors user, I'd be hectoring you for evidence by now…

You'll only have to wait for a few minutes after they launch for evidence.

I remember the AirPods Max were supposedly overpriced garbage nobody would buy, and they quickly slipped to 2+ months waits for deliveries.

I think there's a lot of pent up demand for new iPads Pros. Especially since the last update wasn't very significant for most people. I'm confident Apple won't have a ton of excess stock sitting around in warehouses on launch day. 😂

Do you work for Apple’s PR department by any chance. I certainly won’t be upgrading my existing iPad Pro for the new one at those prices.

If you read the iPad Pro forum, you'll note I'm far from alone in my excitement to upgrade.

Absolutely I get it not everyone will upgrade. It's OK if you don't need or want to take advantage of the latest and greatest technology. The rest of us are allowed to be excited though, without being accused of working for Apple's PR team.

I think you know what sort of evidence people will expect here. It's ok though, I'm not asking for anything

I don't understand why Apple pays so much attention to iPad Pro so much. They pay more attention to it than MacOS. The iPad Pro user base is probably Apple smallest user base of any product. I remember iPads as a whole were seeing sales diminishing some even questioned continuing its offering. Now a dedicated section of the event just for the iPad Pro with new display tech, some fancy camera tech, and a whole M1 in there.

They either have something huge in the pipes or its just Tim Cook's favourite product to use. This makes no sense.
