Apple Said to Debut New iPad Pro Lineup, 128GB iPhone SE, and Red iPhone 7 and 7 Plus at March Event

[emjaymert]

Yes..but what about a new iMac?

 

[DotCom2]

I wonder if the iPads will have a red color choice as well.

 

[The Game 161]

Interested what else they are planning on 12.9 pro

Better camera and true tone isn't exactly worth upgrading.

 

[brianvictor7]

Like the idea of red (a family member's favorite color!).

 

[Dave245]

It's very reactionary though, remember when it was black or black?

yea but that was then, the more options the better, like colour options, watch straps and so on.

 

[puma1552]

red seems like such a bizarre and random color option, given the current colors.

 

[MrGuder]

I like that they're giving the SE a refresh. It suggests they're not abandoning that screen size any time soon, which is good news for those of us with small hands.

Right and it's even possible that Apple not only adds more storage but adds in a new screen with better contrast for the SE.

It's not that random, considering this

Maybe the same updates as the rumoured 10.5" iPad Pro? such as the bezel less display and so on.

4 different iPad screen sizes? Completely unnecessary. Why is there a market for a tablet device that is 0.8in bigger? Go one step further and create a tablet out of stretchy material so that it can be resized accordingly.

Only reason I can see, is that model will be the redesigned one, with the others getting the standard upgrades. So they'll have a small, medium, big iPad. And then the new, fancy one.

Which does seem weird. Would this new redesign be the iPad Pro-Pro? They just released iPads that were suppose to be "Pro". Now that design is going to be entry?

 

[dominiongamma]

I think a lot of people with first generation iPad Air or earlier have been waiting for the new iPads.

Agree I have iPad Air 1 and wasn't impressed with iPad Pro 12.9 hopefully this time it will impress me.

 

[The Game 161]

Maybe the same updates as the rumoured 10.5" iPad Pro? such as the bezel less display and so on.

Would hope there would be other features..

I do like true tone on my 9.7 but would hope thinner and lighter for 12.9. Tempted by the bigger model now to use at home but also plan to keep my 9.7 as a taking to work and using in bed type device.

 

[Donka]

Wonder what the new product tax will be on the 10.5" model? I would be seriously interested in this but if they bump the price for the new size then I am out and let's face it, this is very likely to be the case.

red seems like such a bizarre and random color option, given the current colors.

I'm sure it follows the "Project Red" AIDS thing that Apple has always been involved with.

 

[MrGuder]

Apples going to revitalize the ipad market with this event, especially if it's true the bezels will go.

 

[Jnesbitt82]

No, there were too few options in the old days.

Seriously! I can't believe he's complaining about having too many options.

 

[BvizioN]

It's still the best iPhone Apple have ever made.

That is your opinion. For me is far too tinny (and I have small hands) and nothing too appealing design wise. In other words, quite old design to be around. I honestly don't get Apple coming up with new tech dressed up in old designs.

 

[Glassed Silver]

Options are good, more chance of people getting what they want.

With all due respect, this is more about grabbing better margins than anything.

Everything is becoming a 100 dollar upgrade these days rather than adjusting base configurations of FLAGSHIP hardware more timely.

Apple under you know who got it right, but Tim's all about the margins and it shows.

This has very little to do with giving people more options.

Glassed Silver:ios

 

[BvizioN]

We've been all waiting to update our iPads said NOBODY!

I have been waiting for update on iPads. About time.

 

[jclardy]

4 iPad Pro models? I find that really hard to believe.

So your looking to buy an iPad? Which one? iPad mini 4, iPad Air 2, iPad Pro 7.9", iPad Pro 9.7" (2016), iPad Pro 9.7" (2017), iPad Pro 10.5", iPad Pro 12.9" (2015), iPad Pro 12.9" (2017)?

The return of the 90's Apple is in full force.

 

[Gasu E.]

Too many different options these days...

First world problem.

 

[ph001bi]

I could do with one of these 10.5 inch in Red. Probably not available.

 

[a.gomez]

Apple is now like all the Chinese phone companies - Random new color. All we need now is an Anime themed version.

 

[Gasu E.]

But no iMacs?

iMacs would get announced just before they are ready to ship. That rarely would not align with an event of this kind.

 

[Freida]

Well, if the iPhone red is with black front then I might consider upgrading from my 6 as I got a buyer for my iPhone 6 but otherwise I will wait for the 7S.
iPads - good news (kinda)
I would rather see real iPad Pro that allows me to run macOS so I can use Zbrush etc. The iOS is just fine for smaller devices but the 12.9 needs something better.
