Apple Shares New 'No More Printing' iPad Pro Ad Highlighting Apple Pencil

[Aston441]

Well you're going to have to print now because iWork for iCloud is down and can't save 🙄

Is Apple running that of AWS? Large parts of Amazon seem to be down.

There goes AirPrint. Apple will simple define it away, no matter what users want or think.

Man I hope not. My Mac uses AirPrint as well.

 

[Rogifan]

Anyone else cringing at these latest iPad Pro ads?

The others were better than this one. Where I work you have to swipe your employee badge in order to print a document.

I think if you're looking at a printer, why would you buy a printer anymore? No really, why would you buy one?

 

[addicted44]

Why are you printing your new job offer acceptance at your workplace?

Pony up the 35 cents and go to a Staples.

 

[Chupa Chupa]

Wooo. Electronic signatures. How will the competition beat that one? /sarc

 

[emm386]

That ad sounds like they are desperate and out of ideas. Is THAT really the sales pitch for the iPad now?

That's sure a lot of pages I could print for the same price of an iPad and a stylus...

#ipadsarenotpro 🙂

I love how the definition of Pro has always changed to basically be "not iPad".

This kind of nonsense is what makes everyone know apple has no clue how to deal with the Enterprise market (and why the IBM partnership is a complete disaster)

The new HP Pro X2 comes with a built in Smart iD card reader. 10x more exciting.

Yes! Newton recognition got very good by the end. And the development system was amazing!

It was!

Plus, I'd take Microsoft VoiceCommand over Siri any day.

Voice recognition processed on a 128MB Windows Phone in 2004, rather than having to be streamed to Reno, processed, and sent back to my iPhone for action.

IF they want to go pro, they can start with letting you choose the page size of Air Print prints. Makes me so mad that everything defaults to a 4x6 if your printer happens to have a tray that is 4x6.

I think if you're looking at a printer, why would you buy a printer anymore? No really, why would you buy one?

if you have school age kids, many of their assignments are still required to be turned in on paper. There are also old college teachers that still want assignments on paper.

I don't get the big deal, Adobe Reader has had online (electronic) document signing for years. So much for Apple trying to "spin" their innovation.

You need to remember that these ads are not meant for you. They are for the huge majority of people that don't know how to do what you do. My spouse still prints all the time and I can't do anything to get them to understand that signing digitally is safer than printing, signing and faxing.

These ads are pretty bad.

I pity the ads. Think different, get a Mac or the iPod campaigns made you feel proud. These are so clueless and even their competitors can do the same or better. They don't differentiate or show the strengths compared to others. Lame and clueless.

Cringing is an understatement.
[doublepost=1488321629][/doublepost]Trying to get those extra sales huh, tim?

 

[allenvanhellen]

Show me handwriting recognition. Then we'll talk.

 

[zombierunner]

How daft do you have to be to do that stuff at your current work?

Also funny how none of those tweets get any retweets

 

[miniyou64]

Twitter used to be great. Boy did they ever run that thing into the ground

 

[Fzang]

So Apple is essentially asking people to spend hundreds and hundreds on a letter signing device? I'm not sure I understand this ad.

 

[CrystalQuest76]

Show me handwriting recognition. Then we'll talk.

Check out the apps Nebo and Ink! by the company MyScript. Their stuff is really amazing.

I don't work or have any association with them. I downloaded and tried their products and thought they were really cool.

 

[DrumApple]

I cringe every time I see an Apple ad. Makes the brand feel cheap. Feel like it's no better than a Microsoft product or something.

#printerslivesmatter

I guess this is what Tim meant when he said Apple wouldn't abandon the "Pro's".

 

[BrianKonarsMac]

Really hoping the next interviewee brings a briefcase full of iPad Pros and just hands them out to us with their resume on it. Now that's a go getter!

 

[jujufreeze]

lol these ads are like hallmark channel spoofs, cant take them seriously

 

[Naraxus]

Tim seems hell-bent on shoving iPads at everybody to the expense of everything else

 

[Tech198]

why do people shove cards in front of their faces.?
