I just hope they keep one model with the 3.5mm audio jack.

Agreed - for kids, having a headphone jack is huge. I just picked up a 9th gen iPad on Black Friday sale ($229) because I really needed one for them with a headphone jack. Kids too young to have wireless / AirPods...

In this economy I think Apple needs to stick with the iPad mini, iPad, and iPad Pro. And they need to make them at a reasonable price. Most people are going to be more interested in the price in this economy then the features especially since the hardware is way more powerful than the software can take advantage of.

Not expecting any major changes

After reading this post, I like Tim Cook way more than I did before.

Yes, you like Tim and dislike Apple users. Understood.

Makes sense. There will be lots of fanboys defending this choice because "it would be wasteful to give more to users that wouldn't use them anyway"

I've heard 640K is enough memory for anybody. 😜

(And no, Bill Gates never actually said that.)
