Guess what else hasn't been updated in years either.... THE IPOD!
The Mac mini is dead, the MB Air will soon be replaced by the 12 in MB. And the Pro is such a tiny segment along with the Mac Mini that its probably not even worth paying the salaries of employees to work on them.....you can either accept it and move to an iMac, MB Pro or move to another platform.
My Air 2 is still kicking just fine. Aside from the Pencil, I really am not seeing anything that a new iPad can do that my Air 2 can't do. The OS of the ipad is still just "big iPhone". I'm somewhat interested in getting a bigger-screened iPad if I get a good trade-in value for my Air 2, but not sure whether I'd go for the 12.9 or 10.5.
I've also been just standing by since last Fall to get a new iMac the minute one is released.. um... Bueller, Bueller..

I spent a lot of I win't actually time w/ the original iPad (a 'Specialist' I was, back in the day), but have had nothing to mess around with since but my iPhone: I went from a 4 to a 6+, to 6...but I'll tell you, if (WHEN) I get an iPad I won't really care how small my phone's screen is. I love my iPhone, but the iPad is worlds better to me.
I will GLADLY buy the iPhone that syncs with a 'PAD & uses the pad's cell-data connection to provide phone service (could be as simple as a version of the AirPods, maybe)

I will be SO all over this if it comes to be...
Seriously, this is a iPad news thread. Go find a mac thread to drivel in. Not everything has to be mac related.
When a mac is released I'm going to go in it and troll it.
The market for iPads is roughly twice as large as the Mac. Just for your information.
10 iPhones are sold for every Mac. Combined with the iPad (which runs iOS, and shares many similar components with the iPhone), Apple is selling 12 iOS devices for every Mac.
Not hard to see why Apple is prioritising the development of iOS devices over those running macOS.
Apple will host a March event to introduce a new iPad Pro lineup and other products, according to Japanese website Mac Otakara.
In terms of the iPad Pro lineup, the report claims Apple will announce new 7.9-inch, 9.7-inch, 10.5-inch, and 12.9-inch models. The 10.5-inch model may not ship until May, while the other sizes are said to ship in March.
If the report is accurate, it would suggest Apple plans to refresh the iPad mini 4 with a new 7.9-inch iPad Pro model, update its existing 9.7-inch iPad Pro and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models, and introduce an all-new 10.5-inch iPad Pro, which is widely rumored to feature an edge-to-edge display without a Home button.
Mac Otakara previously said the 10.9-inch iPad Pro--it now says 10.5-inch--will have the same overall footprint as the current 9.7-inch iPad Pro thanks to its edge-to-edge design. The earlier report said the top bezel will remain in order to provide space for the front-facing FaceTime camera, but it will likely be slimmer.
The blog also previously said the 12.9-inch iPad Pro will feature a 12-megapixel rear camera and True Tone display like the current 9.7-inch model, using advanced four-channel ambient light sensors to automatically adapt the color and intensity of the display to match the light in the surrounding environment.
Meanwhile, it said the 7.9-inch iPad Pro will feature a Smart Connector, True Tone display, four speakers, and a 12-megapixel rear-facing iSight camera with True Tone flash, as Apple works to standardize features across its tablet lineup. All new iPad Pro models will reportedly gain quad microphones as well.
Three months ago, Barclays analysts predicted Apple will release a trio of new iPad Pro models in March, including 9.7-inch, 12.9-inch, and edge-to-edge 10.9-inch models, but not a 7.9-inch iPad Pro. Instead, their research note said Apple will continue to produce and sell the iPad mini 4, released in September 2015.
KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has likewise said Apple is planning a new 9.7-inch, 10.5-inch, and 12.9-inch iPad Pro lineup for 2017. He did not mention a 7.9-inch model. He said the 10.5-inch and 12.9-inch models are likely to feature a faster Apple A10X processor, while the "low-cost" 9.7-inch model will sport an A9X chip.
DigiTimes expects a 10.5-inch iPad Pro as well, making that four separate sources reporting similar. The math checks out too: the width of a 10.5-inch iPad Pro would match the height of the iPad mini screen, while it would have the same resolution as the 12.9-inch model and the same pixel density as the iPad mini.
Today's report also claims Apple may add a 128GB storage option for the iPhone SE, alongside the smartphone's existing 16GB and 64GB capacities, and add a new red color--(PRODUCT)RED?--option for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. The blog previously said the red color would be for the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus.
The report also calls for new Apple Watch bands at the event in line with last year's Spring refresh. Apple introduced the iPhone SE, 9.7-inch iPad Pro, and new Apple Watch bands at its March 2016 event last year.
Mac Otakara has a good but not perfect track record in terms of Apple rumors.

Now I must sell my "old" 12" iPad Pro and wait until the new model is released.
It's a good timing to sell it, because there are a lot of people how don't read any Apple news and want a iPad Pro.
Buuuut, I don't like to wait for a new device
You want the best of both worlds, you get the worst of both worlds as well. It's a package deal. One which I am not willing to make.
Apple is now serving a way larger user base with more diverse needs. They can no longer get away with selling the slim product lineup under Steve Job's tenure.
And 4 iPad sizes is already quite streamlined. I don't see the average consumer being confused.
I believe there's some confusion in the visualization: the 9.7" iPad is measured 9.7" on the diagonal of the screen, not counting the bezels...however, the physical dimension of that same iPad is 10.5". give that 10.5" unit an edge-to-edge screen, and it not-magically become a 10.5" screen.
Hypothetically, it would not be a larger UNIT, just a larger SCREEN.
A red iPhone. Sales are that bad huh.
It's still going to do the same exact thing my 7 plus does. Also I haven't seen my jet black since the day I opened it and slapped a clear skin on the back and put it in a case.
But I did get a red rhinestone case. Purrty.

RE: "Apple plans to refresh the iPad mini 4 with a new 7.9-inch iPad Pro model,...."
It about time, huh on the iPad Mini! Hopefully, Apple will put in an A10 and 4GB RAM! Cheap f**kers!
I digress, the red iPhone 7 looks very nice!

They'll announce the Kaby lake at WWDC or maybe sooner, but I'd stick with WWDC and then you'll see the current MBP's in the refurbished area, cause there OLD
I'm hoping for Kaby Lake. I'm actually looking More forward to WWDC than I am the March Keynote.
Do you think they will remove the headphone jack on the new iPads?
Spot on: Apple's biggest difficulty w/ the pads has been that they were over-built in the first place, and that left scant room for spec stretch, but also made successive fresh updates un-compelling...moving from bezel-screens to full-face screens would see close to all early pads slide downstream into new hands, as their first owners dove for the hot & new. Major expansion of Apples market domination - and a total body-slam on the Sequence...which most likely would not recover from the blow.
The iPad Pro is the new MacBook Pro. So you all wanting a new MacBook Pro should be through the roof in happiness.
It is little when you price out the 4GB RAMs now on the market day! HDTV sets come with 16GB now!
[doublepost=1487629885][/doublepost]
If Apple updates it with the A10; the energy consumption will be 40% less and 4GB RAM will be the same or even less energy consumption as the current 2GB for the SE now!
What is the big deal with colours? A lot pf people use (or should use) cases and covers anyway.
You have a touchscreen, but not an accompanying UI optimised for touch and direct input. You have keyboard and mouse, but not the laptop form factor designed to take advantage of that.
You are stuck with a 3:2 form factor for both your laptop and tablet, regardless of whether you want those aspect ratios or not. It still lacks the LTE option.
For someone like me who uses his iPad way more than his MacBook Air, better for me to just stick with a dedicated tablet form factor.

I have the iPad Pro 9.7 and absolutely love it. That said, not sure what Apple could offer that would make me want to upgrade. No bezels and 3D Touch would be nice, but not essential. A faster processor is useless since there still aren't any Pro apps that really take advantage of the current a9 processor. Hm.
I read at some UK sites about a rumor that Apple is going to release the New iPad Pro 2 in March.
As I bought one a couple of days ago but planning to return it since I have one at home and my wife is using it .
If the new one will come out soon will buy it and sell my Wife 9.7" that is a few months old 128Gb Space gray and buy a couple of them.
