Up yours and thanks for the green, iPad Pro 2020 buyers.
Jon Prosser also literally told everyone in May that a new ATV release was imminent.
Bah. And that might be the case considering the update from the the 2018 11" Pro to the 2020 was just incremental at best, unlocking an extra core and doubling the base storage.
And my return window closes in a couple days. Return it and wait or just gamble that these updates are only for the other models? Gah!
The only iPad I'm waiting for is an iPad Mini Pro.
Might finally buy a watch this year. Been thinking about since version 1 lol
That makes more sense, since the iPad Pro was updated just a few months ago.
It will be essentially identical to the Series 4/5 with a faster processor and O2 blood saturation monitoring. This was absolutely expected... Apple has so far kept a 3 year pattern with the Apple Watch...
Year 1: AW "Series 0" (I'm calling it that, its just the first AW)
Year 2: AW Series 1 & 2
Year 3: AW Series 3
------
Year 4: AW Series 4
Year 5: AW Series 5
Year 6: AW Series 6
I anticipate the next visual change to the look of the AW to occur in 2021 with the Series 7.
PS: This 3 year pattern is now also the pattern Apple follows with the iPhone since the iPhone 6 launched.
PPS: *if* these rumors are true and the new iPads and AWs launch before the iPhone 12 this year it nearly certainly means for the first time ever that the new version of iOS (14) will be rolled out and required on current devices BEFORE the launch of the new iPhones.
Same boat. To me, the cost vs feature ratio wasn't enough to sway me. I'm 100% on board for a new phone this year (iPhone 6s+), so a new watch would be a nice compliment.
I expect the main driver of the Mid-2020 iPad Pro release was to get LIDAR into developers hands so they would have applications ready for the iPhone 12 (Pro) when it launched.
The next release of the iPad Pros have been rumored to have MiniLED displays per MCK, yet we have many "reports" that MiniLED production is running behind schedule. So could be different models, as Prosser is suggesting.

This will be the new entry level iPad or iPad Air, not the iPad Pro.
At least that’s my guess.
At least that’s my guess.
Eh. I mean I see where you‘re coming from but I knew there would always be another better, newer iPad coming. I replaced my old 10.5” and to me it was a pretty massive upgrade. The 2020 iPad may get crapped on around here but it’s a great machine. No one should feel bad for buying one unless they upgraded from a 2018 model.
Those were what I was leaning towards as well, considering the 7th gen iPad is approaching a year and the Air and mini are nearly 18 months. Plus I don't want a Pro update anytime soon as I just bought one!
OMG I’m so excited. Does thas mean they’re releasing them in September? Can’t wait!

Why not?! They are going to rock Christmas 2020 seeing as this year has been a total write off. Hang on for the awesome ride, shareholders!
I would buy one of those in a heartbeat, no questions asked.
Now I just want to see information for the AirPods Studio headsets....
I would not be at all surprised if the largest volume buyers of the iPad Mini are enterprise and commercial (retail, restaurants, etc.) customers who use them "in the field". As such, not sure they need "Pro" features so I am skeptical the market among consumers is large enough to justify such a model.

I don't necessarily desire the Pro features in the mini, I just would love to have the mini size in the same form factor and design language as the Pro.
