Maybe in America it's down, but in England it's UP!![]()
What goes up, must come down
No joke. All my smart phones have been iPhones. I just tried using Android for the cost savings....huge nightmare. Android is a sick joke. I didn't even last 24 hours on Android. Gave me a HUGE appreciation for why Apple phones are the best. I still want to see some UI and OS tweeks but there is NO comparison between the two. Sign me up for a new SE...ASAP!!!No you won't![]()
Worth noting, most of those 'features' would be throw away for me.Oh and you get all this throw away stuff as well:
Double the speakers (stereo/surround)
7.1 Dolby surround support
6x cpu performance since air 1
Probably 8x-10x gpu performance
Apple Pencil support
300% resolution increase on camera
Camera flash
Smart connector capabilities for accessories
Ambient light sensors for true color tones based on environment
The brightest, widest color gamut on any apple device in existence
Touch ID
M9 Coprocessor for "Hey Siri" support and health stuff
20% thinner
~15-20% lighter
Price jackers won't win this time around because expectations are that supplies will be aplenty. So anyone planning a quick resale, you have been warned.
I see this as the least improved iPad ever released since the original came out. Considering they took an extra 6 months to get us the updated 9.7" iPad (vs the annual updates we've been getting), and they increased the price by $100, they needed to do a bit more. If they at least added force touch to the iPad, I'd of bought one. Extra $100 for what? We always get faster CPUs, and more memory (they didn't even include more memory on this). The smart connector isn't of any value, as that requires even more cost to leverage (as well as the pen support). At $499 I'd of bought one to replace my iPad Air. That $100 is just a slap in the face.
Question:
I am going to be in Vegas on launch day.. Since everyone thinks they'll have adequate supply, what are the chances of me walking into an Apple Store on the Las Vegas strip (inside Caesar's, for example) AT 7 or 8PM LAUNCH NIGHT, and asking for an SE for them to have one?
I want a 16GB Space Grey SE.. I'm still on a 5s. I've been eagerly awaiting this day!
Thanks!
A 16GB? I bet your chances are pretty good, but I don't think anyone really can know for sure (although you can stop by a sports book and ask the odds, they're pretty good at knowing things like that). If Forum Shops doesn't have what you want, Town Square is likely to have more (and it's possible Fashion Show would too, it's closer). If you're not driving there's a free shuttle to Town Square from the Trop.
Exactly! $2K? Ridiculous! Where do they come off charging $3K? I sure as hell ain't paying no $4K for no iPad. Please. Five thousand dollars for a slab of pixels...blah! The nerve of asking $6K!A dubious amount of RAM and USB 2 for a price of almost $2k does not seem worth it.

So you're going from and iPad Air 1 16gb and the new pro ships with 32gb. There, that's your extra $100.

Hey! Thanks for the reply dude. Not to thread jack, but we are staying at the Club 36 if you're familiar with that place... Where do you suggest I check first?
I'm still prepared to preorder tonight, as I remain undecided on what to do...
