…no, no, no son!
This is a nickel and dime operation!
We must always make tiny changes to necessitate all new overpriced accessory purchases - again
Anyone else tired of Tim Cook Apple?
Man this whole schtick is tiring and played out
There is no fascination with thinness, Apple has been increasing the thickness of their devices for many years. To me, thinness is a key feature for a tablet. I would definitely like a thinner iPad Pro.
I would prefer something lighter. Wonder what the new weight will be.
It’s hard to imagine they won’t, unless Apple is switching to a titanium frame (very unlikely).
“Apple reports increased services revenue due in part to greater uptake of AppleCare+ subscriptions.”
I wonder if they’ll be able to not increase the thickness of the camera bump.
It’s 28% thinner (something between 1/4 and 1/3) for the 13”, 16% thinner for the 11” (something between 1/7 and 1/6). Significant enough. I wish my iPhone would become that much thinner.
I’ve seen so many of my iPads bend. Ever so slightly, but enough to cause annoying lcd light bleeds on the screen which are permanent. I think it’s a problem.
What are you doing with them?! Seriously, I don’t think I could bend mine even if I tried.
Sigh...iPad battery life is gonna remain awful isn't it? The reasons to buy an iPad over a Macbook shrinking more and more by the day.
It’s thin enough, but the weight can be a problem, especially for the 13”. If it becomes lighter, mission accomplished.
Only Apple can market the iPad Air to be thicker and likely heavier than an iPad Pro!
1mm thinner. All of the thicc iPad users are all on here jealous like.

5mm would be pretty remarkable, if true. But I'd rather have longer battery with the same thickness as now.
I wonder if a 15% reduction in thickness will be accompanied by a 15% reduction in mass. That would be nice, if so.
So what is the logic here? They’re risking selling me a $1500 iPhone because it’s not compatible with my current $50 case? What was the theory when the Magic Keyboard (2020) was compatible with the previous iPad (2018)? And with the next one (2021)? I think a simpler explanation is that companies shouldn’t limit their new products designs around current accessories forever.
? 😂
I hope it will finally toast bagels - Steve Jobs's never fulfilled promise for the iPod.

Welcome to Bendgate 3.0
Bendgate 1.0 - iPhone 6/6 Plus
Bendgate 2.0 - iPad Pro 2018-2022.
At this point there are just making the designs thinner to save money and maximize profits. Back then, the focus was to make the device look sleeker.
