Apple Registers New iPad Models and 'Bluetooth Device' in China

[SoyCapitanSoyCapitan]

I don't think that they will ever beat the record sales they had in previous years. Sad, but, yeah.

I think they will. Watch.

 

[magicschoolbus]

I just want a new one so it drives the price down of the current model. There will probably be a price hike on these new iPads... I will just take the old one at a reasonable price.

At this point I would put money on an October 30th event.

I wasn't planning on upgrading but my wife is fed up with her iPad Mini 2 so what's a guy to do?

 

[Mabus51]

That's the point isn't it. It'll be very very interesting where they place the FaceID sensors. "You're holding it wrong."

Exactly, without the home button as a marker. You won’t really know which orientation to use. I guess the awful camera bump in the back will now be a brail type indicator.

 

[B4U]

What do you mean? It will unlock like it does today, as long as your hand isn't covering it. It just won't work upside down.
[doublepost=1539279036][/doublepost]Can't wait for this. An all screen experience of this size will be really really nice. Face ID has been perfect on my Max so I am expecting similar performance here. Should be a nice upgrade from my 10.5, which was the best Apple computer I've ever used.

You mean you can unlock your phone while the phone is in a landscape orientation?

 

[cppguy]

Please allow connection to an external display via USB-C. That would be great. Bluetooth mouse support would be awesome, then we could use it as a secure computing platform for productivity.

 

[cwanja]

If all the bezels are the same size, I wonder how are we going to be able to tell which side of the landscape side is the one with the Face ID sensor? Feel around for the lightning port? LOL!

I mean, the camera is pretty visible on the front...

That's the point isn't it. It'll be very very interesting where they place the FaceID sensors. "You're holding it wrong."

I'd expect them to place them at the top of the device in portrait and work when rotated. It wouldn't work if covered, so yea you would be holding it wrong if you're covering the sensor. I don't see them building in two true depth camera systems, but I suppose it's possible.

 

[rtr1985]

Just open orders up for the new iPad Pro tomorrow. That would be great, thanks.

 

[DNichter]

has there been any research into why some people have this problem? I would think that Apple would have something to say about this if it is a big problem like some say.

It's not.

Palm/Finger rejection has been terrible on my X and and Xs. So I cam very curious as to how you're supposed to hold and use an even larger device with no "safe space" to grab and hold it. Maybe balance it in one hand like a waiter holding a server platter?

I'd imagine most would hold with their fingers on the back. I know for myself, I never place my fingers on the front while holding, just to tap or swipe.

*It's a big problem for the absolutely tiny amount of people that it affects.

Man, Face ID on this iPad is going to SUCK.

My favorite position in the iPad Kama Sutra is this:

Leaning over the iPad just to get a Face ID lock is going to be ridiculous.

 

[Drogba11]

Interested to see how the iPad Pro will unlock with FaceID when in landscape mode.

It will require the new FaceID horizontal scanning dongle, only $399

 

[CarlJ]

Why haven’t we seen any hardware leaks?
Nothing what so ever.

Because... Apple got it right this time? Security is a process, not just a thing you buy in a box at the store. Surely they've been working continuously to crack down on leaks.

 

[spaceballl]

TAKE. MY. MONEY.

 

[fathergll]

Please Apple, please "one more thing": iPad Mini 5.

If it's about profit margin, just charge enough for it to make it as profitable per unit sold.

iPad Mini X

No problem, just get a detachable head, that you can hold over the screen - just in time for Halloween, too!

 

[GadgetBen]

No new MacBook

Apple itself is going to leak it 5 days before the event.

Or maybe they've already fired the intern who posted it to the website

 

[1applerules1]

Fake, there is not notch. No notch no buy.

Wait for the pricing . I sense a significant rise

I don’t think so. The iPhone XR, which now has FaceID, is a follow-on to the 8/8 Plus and had no price increase. If there are two TrueDepth camera systems I could see a small price increase of maybe $50.

Lightning port will not be replaced by USB-C .

Maybe. It seems like a bit upgrade and Apple has been raising their prices considerable. However, they are aware of the market and really the current iPad Pro's already use top shelf screens and custom processors. The big *extra* cost is the FaceID cameras. I'm guessing/hoping an increase of >$100

iPhone FaceID works pretty well laying flat.
