i assume mini-led for 11 iPad not on the list?

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Frustrating day! Am I the only one who is not impressed by the iPads?

 

[WiiDSmoker]

Today has really shown the complete greed and loss of simplicity that Apple now has become.

 

[ccsicecoke]

Immediately ordered an iPhone SE 64GB and an iPad 9th Gen 64GB 4g+LTE

It's simply awkward to reach your thumb to the lower portion of screen without a home button or pick up an iPad without bezels.

Tim's Apple is ruining all design philosophies from SJ

Thanks Tim

Frustrating day! Am I the only one who is not impressed by the iPads?

I feel more like this was insulting.
But maybe that’s just me

Frustrating day! Am I the only one who is not impressed by the iPads?

I totally agree, I was all set to get a new iPad Pro, but after seeing this, I'll wait. Was also hoping for upgrades to the Mini.

 

[sorgo †]

…And it was an utter mess.

 

[dantracht]

Frustrating day! Am I the only one who is not impressed by the iPads?

You’re not the only one. I grabbed a new TV, but everyone else was beyond lackluster.

I’d say you made a great choice—I love both those devices. Probably would’ve gone for at least 128GB for the SE, though, but we’re different people with different use cases.

 

[imcesarleyva]

I'm very underwhelmed by these updates

 

[Rce84]

How is this insulting? Can you enlighten me?

I’ve learned to live with smaller bezels by using this truly terrific case protector, and I find Face ID works pretty well, but it’s a 50/50 crapshoot as to whether or not I’ve picked up my ipad right-side-up or upside down.

SJ is dead... move on now. You don't have to like the new designs but bringing SJ up after 11 years, having no clue what he may or may not design these days, is silly.

 

[BrownyQ]

The "new" iPad is such a colossal fail, I'm flabbergasted. What could have been a great update turned into a mishmash mess, and I'm so bummed by it.

And I seriously wanted the yellow one, too! But not with all those asterisks.

 

[Mr. Dee]

Apple needs to simplify the iPad lineup. Its becoming the new 'Performa'.

 

[temende]

This was honestly a strange mish-mash of announcements. I can see why they didn't hold an event.

I feel the same exact way. I’m holding on to my 9th gen. But those colors sure are pretty

 

[jephrey]

Been wanting to replace my 2015 mini for about a year now and was really hoping for an M2 mini announcement but Maybe Apple is thinking that an M2 mini could cannibalize mac studio sales, especially as options are added. October isn't over but my hopes have been kind of dashed. The price on the TV looks decent but I have the previous model so don't "need" that. I'm not a pad user so those releases don't mean much to me.

 

[Andronicus]

Idk what everyone is upset about. I got me a nice braided usb c charging cable.

 

[Matt2000]

Frustrating day! Am I the only one who is not impressed by the iPads?

The iPad Pro not having landscape camera is crazy!

 

[Spock]

The $129 Apple TV was about the only thing that I found positive. The rest was underwhelming, the new 10th gen iPad is nice but fits in a weird spot with a price point that makes little sense. I am sure that iJustine will be showing off all the colors shortly and praising it for being awesome on YouTube pretty soon.

 

[Kissmo1980]

How is this insulting? Can you enlighten me?

You release the new ipad - with a USB-C adapter for lighting for the older gen Apple Pencil.
Why not just add support for Apple Pencil 2?

The you add the landscape on a base iPad -> and you don't do the same on iPad Pro which is the most used in that orientation.

Then you release an iPad Pro M2 - which adds nothing to the table - and the price for gap between M2 iPad pro vs M1 iPad pro in Europe is somewhere between 400 EUR for a nothing upgrade.

Now go to sleep enlightened friend.

 

[FattiesGoneWild]

I hope these all bomb like the 14 Plus right now or even worse. Nothing but a cash grab and very poor design decisions. They made it very simple for me to hold onto my current 12.9” M1 and 4KTV 2nd gen box.

 

[crsh1976]

Apple needs to simplify the iPad lineup. Its becoming the new 'Performa'.

Yep, driven by marketing to close pricing gaps with compromises to upsell you the Air.

I absolutely hate the strategy to keep last year's model as the entry-level product, and justify the price of an in-between product that serves no purpose but to upsell you the pricier model that technologically makes more sense.

The new iPad is cute and all, but completely overpriced for what it is. And they totally killed me with that Lightning-to-USB-C adapter needed to charge the 1st gen Pencil, it's just comical.
