Apple unveils completely redesigned iPad in four vibrant colors

Featuring a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, powerful A14 Bionic chip, advanced cameras, USB-C, support for the new Magic Keyboard Folio, and more.

This one looks kinda cool maybe. The 5G model is $600 and it could be a nice travel device that you use without a keyboard. You're not going to do anything intense on it, so the A14 is more than fine.

I'd spend the extra $ on the wifi only 11 Pro and tether to your phone.

Yes, that is currently what I do with my M2 MBA and M1 12.9 iPad Pro, using the internet of my iPhone.

It is not a bad solution.

Is the site being down that problematic for you? Thought not, so why even care about that?

Does something have to be problematic for me to think its silly?

The maxed out 2TB / 5G model is £2679

When the pound crashed last month I rushed out and bought a new iPad Air as I suspected the prices would be adjusted as soon as the new models came out. Glad I did as the Air now starts at £669, up from the previous £569.

11” Silver 256gb iPad Pro ordered.

In case anyone is interested John Lewis still have the 9th gen iPad at £299, rather than the new £369, I ordered one as soon as I saw the £499 price on the 10th gen.

Same price on Amazon too.

Oh yeah, this is purely a marketing thing !
But, it does have the advantage of making it easier to test your new production deployment

Remember that catsup commercial? Anticipation, it's keeping me waiaiaiaiaiaiting...

 

[PinkyMacGodess]

Yeah, I think so. On the other hand, they may think their update is so incremental if they didn't catch your attention with the "be right back", you might not even realize the products have been updated.
😬

Didn't they do that with an iMac or something a few years ago? No fanfare, just some new verbiage and people argued over whether it was actually new or not. They can do weird things to taunt us...

 

[SidricTheViking]

I did, and had an exchange. The new iPad is the same: 4-5 hours of general use (browsing mostly) with a constant power drain by the Magic Keyboard (which I also had exchanged). That keyboard ensures an empty iPad in a week of non-use!

Thanks. 👍🏾🖖🏼👌

I may vaguely remember something like that? Maybe I didn't notice it.....
But this year, it's even funnier that after the update nobody can tell the difference between the 3 middle iPads.
