With WWDC showing iPad can now use multiple apps and resizing windows, I'm curious to know how it is still crippled software? What exactly do you still need that it doesn't do?
Reduce the bezel on the 12 and you won't be able to hold it without touching the screen.
Well, to be fair, before Apple Silicon the answer would have been that many mobile workflows, the iPad Pro was a far better option. But now, heck now I can run mobile apps or full Autocad effortlessly on a thin and light MacBook Pro. Things have changed.
I want a iPad Pro 11 inch with mini LED.
Why would it? The notch was to fit FaceID, which the iPad already has. unless they deuce the bezels, but then holding it would be a pita.
Except the iPad does different things than the Macbook air does.
1, it’s not a mac, so it wont have Finder. It has Files - which is improving as time goes on.A proper Finder would be nice and the calculator app
2, Go buy PCalc, its awesome, cheap and will help out a long serving indie dev. Then you can stop moaning about apples own terrible calculator app not being present.
I would imagine that the new Pros launch this autumn with 11” and 12.9” (uLED) and then a 14” joins the line up next year worth the same specs and Apple monitor the sales figures /margins to see which size to drop. My guess would be the 11 is dropped and that audiences pushed to the Air or (preferably for Apple) the 12.9” Pro.
Give Gurman some slack. The dude really tries, even if he is wrong… like….80% of what he says with his misguided mudslinging messy predictions.
To be fair, MagSafe is more of a convenience feature. As a casual user I would take a wireless but slower charging design so I don’t have to deal with charging cables. Additionally this would allow for more stands that can rotate allowing iPads to be used in landscape/portrait which would better support universal control. Rotating to portrait for reading documents then back to landscape for a tutorial video or similar.
Honestly. Reading this forum is akin to running round in circles, occasionally stopping to bang your head against a wall.
There are pro apps for the iPad, and it runs them well.
Mass storage Device? Playing demanding games? Remote Controlling the PC/Mac? Editing office documents? Displaying autoCAD files? All without using a device with non-detachable keyboard?
My 2018 11" could use a refresh, but only with mini LED!
I also wish, instead of going bigger, they would make a 12" size and 14" maybe, but get rid of the 12.9 and 11". I actually own both, and none of them is ideal, owning a 14" mbp as well. One is too small, the other too close to the macbook :/

iPad is dead to me until the 11" gets a display tech upgrade. Meantime I will wring every last drop of life out my 2018 Pro.
Artists and illustrators will use it all and they don’t do their work on a patio because they want the direct manipulation + Apple Pencil.
If you spend your day creating hand-drawn animations with hundreds of thousands of layers, you will run into the limits of the iPad Pro hardware.
Reduce the 12.9 bezels to help justify a notch......🤦♂️
Would that be about 25% slower than the regular 20w charger would need? Probably not that big of an impact in that scenario. Now if we compare it to a 30w charging scenario…
