Apple Store Down Ahead of Rumored New iPad Pro Announcement

While I just got a 2021 iPad Pro 11", I'm interested in seeing what will be announced. Though I will be really upset if it's something flashy enough where I start getting regrets and wanting to return it.

Well I'll be.... Grumman was right. His faith is restored.
Wonder if we'll get anything else other then new iPads though?

I expect we will have the usual tech You Tubers posting videos later today then with their reviews.

"Imagine if Amazon had to take down their store every time they added or updated products!"

It’s clearly hurting their bottom line to be down a couple of hours. Wonder if they’ll hit their quarterly numbers? 🤪

This isn’t some complex head-scratcher here, people. It’s 100% about the hype. No more. No less. Marketing 101.

Oh you poor being. Your 11" iPad Pro 2021 will be rendered useless the moment the new model is announced. How are you going to survive?

Maybe some texture or haptics to mimic texture? I hate the overly smooth feel of the current pencils - it makes my already awful writing worse, and Master screen protectors kill the screen quality.

I love my Pencil 2. But haptics to simulate paper texture would be awesome. Like the thinking.
 
Well, you can still access the iPad Pro M1 on the Apple Store, so don't know what's up with that. Well, if you click to buy, the store is down, so never mind. :)

It's also tradition. It was that way in the Steve Jobs days.

You can't order the new things until they are available, so it doesn't really matter if you see the old pages or the "Store is Down" page. If anything refreshing a single light-weight page consumes far less bandwidth than refreshing a bunch of product pages.

I guess its for people like you that Apple keeps doing this silly B.S...... Trillion dollar tech company has to take whole site down to add new products.

We might as well throw in the silly jeans most of their employees keep wearing during their presentations as if they were tuning in the ghost of Steve Jobs.

Rumors say that the new 11" iPad Pro will be the same except with an M2 and maybe wireless charging. That's it. Enjoy your M1 iPad. I have the same one and it's great. I don't see any reason to upgrade at all. Not interested in wireless charging and the M1 is more than enough for me especially on an iPad.

If the new iPads had an OLED screen then I'd sell my iPad right now and buy the new one.
 
My trade-in value for my 2021 11 iPad Pro 128 was/is $415. Curious to see what it changes to once the new products come online
