The bezel is wide enough for the TrueDepth camera system, no notch needed! The iPhone wouldn’t need one either, if it had a 9mm bezel.
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.
why not just wait and see first before hating?
Maybe the A1993 will just be a mini with a processor/RAM refresh? I'd still prob go for the pro this time but the mini is a great, if niche, platform and deserves an update.
Iphone is the cash cow. Ipad pricing could stay reasonable
For sure they will introduce new Mac products, the October Event will be too short if they show us only the new iPads.
I can sense the new iPad will have a monster price increase
Nope, but it’ll work the same way, just in landscape. So no change to the user.

Get the $329 iPad for her.

I don’t think it’s going to be above $699 for the 64 GB.

The one nuisance about the bezel-less iPhone! I’m starting/learning to hold the phone just as you mention. Would not like to have to do that with a new iPad…

I don't see why this would be an issue. The iPad would be right in front of you in this situation. My iPhone works like this.
saaaaame here. no way i need anything iphone X related in the largest ipp model for daily use. especially a hike to cover the battery eating display upgrade.
You have trouble reading don’t you? Right under the picture it’s captioned states it’s a mockup photo. Also as someone else pointed out, you don’t need a notch when the whole screen is surrounded by a bezel like the iPad.
If you want to see it though, there was leaks today showing the possible iPad new design and being 6mm thick. Saw the pics this morning from the Apple News app, not sure what site they came from, possibly 9to5mac.

Wait, you already have an iPad Pro with FaceID and you've unlocked it in landscape mode?
Unlocking my iPad Air 2 with TouchID is not a problem in landscape mode but the rumors are that you have to hold the iPad Pro with FaceID upright just to unlock it like the XS Max. It will be annoying when you're using it in landscape mode and have to always pick it up and hold it upright just to unlock it. That's what I meant.
Technically speaking the latest Mac is 1 year newer than the latest iPad.
Nope, the current implementation on the iPhone X that I have now is I have to face the phone in portrait orientation in order to unlock it. But the phone does not have landscape mode, so not a major issue.
On the other hand, the iPad supports landscape mode. If the iPad’s FaceID implements like the iPhone X, then it would not be unlocked while in landscape orientation.

They already found an evidence on iOS 12.1 that Face ID will work on landscape mode. No one knows though if this is a new type of sensors or not.

As much as I like my iPad mini 2, the iPad mini is almost definitely dead. That makes me sad—the iPhone XS Max is not an iPad mini replacement: the iPad mini is 4:3 and runs a superior form of iOS, being far more usable. While Apple doesn’t have a problem with cannibalizing their own products, they do seem uninterested with the more niche side-projects as of late, with the axing of AirPort routers and a careless apathy towards Mac mini and Mac Pro being unfortunate examples of this.

There's no reason for Face ID not to work in landscape. It's software based and it can't be hard to program it to detect a face 90 degrees to the left or right. It's made to be used in portrait and landscape unlike phones, think how Apple is advertising these as laptop replacements or as POS registers, all used in landscape.
if 2 iPads were being released, wouldn't there would be 4 model numbers? 1 WiFi & 1 Cellular for each? I'd like to be wrong though. I tried giving in to the larger size and got the latest 9.7" iPad. It's definitely not for me. And the pencil isn't as useful as I hoped it would be. Writing & taking notes on it is still awkward.
