Confusing headline:

‘…'iPad Pro 2' Surface’

I thought for a mo that there was a colaboration between Apple and MS!
 
Nice one in the title: "iPad Pro 2 Surface" :D
I don't see it as a joke, but rather as yet another sign of how MacRumors has taken on a very passive-aggressive tone towards it's subject of Apple products and services. With the main site adopting this tone, it's no surprise that the forums have descended into a hate filled cesspool.

Nothing new to see here.
Agreed. It's just the nmormal upgrade cycle shifting to the new ARM package and upgrading the display to the TrueTone 9,7". I guess the yields or the iPads sold also justify the upgrade.
Other than that, I'm still waiting for Xcode on iOS with a simulator and Swift code compilation in the cloud.
THEN, I would understand why the MacBooks are not here yet.
 
and the macbook sales are so small part of apple's profit, that the "rumer" will be "apple released new macbook's" ? come on! i want a new macbook pro! just want it! :)
 
True Tone, Pencil slot, iOS optimized for iPad, mouse support, file system, 8-16GB memory options, SD reader, USB-C, 64GB base and smaller bezel.

And one more thing...

A MacOS version with boot camp.
Magical bazinga pipeline of innovation.

Well, we will likely be seeing a 12mp camera (with camera bump?), true tone display, A10X processor, Hey Siri, in the very least. Not sure what other features they can introduce to justify an upgrade. I doubt we will be seeing a ram increase anytime soon.

Any thoughts?

You may not be far off the mark.

Until the software catches up (OS and application, but particularly application software) there's not much need for more raw hardware power - whether that's RAM, flash memory, cpu, camera pixels, screen pixels or whatever.
 
Except there is no 16GB 12.9" iPad Pro. Currently the smallest capacity is 32GB and I don't see them offering a 16GB instead. Likely just a prototype/test unit.
If I would test a prototype to see how well it works, I certainly would not build one with 16GB storage...
But, yes. I agree. Seems fake.
 
One sentence from the last presentation worries me.
Craig Federighi said that "Marketing was taking over", if you watch "The lost interview" it is the exact thing that Jobs criticized in big companies.
If it's all about colors, it's not about innovation, if it's about make-up, you don't care what's behind it... Please reduce marketing to its rightful place and give the money to the other departments. It used to work that way - and it used to work a whole lot better, IMHO.
 
An iPad redesign is overdue though. Maybe they are holding to the 2017 iPhone and consolidate both designs?
