At least be honest.Step 1, add "Pro" to the moniker and charge $50-$100 more (DONE!)
Step 2, make all previous accessories obsolete so that people buy new original accessories from you (DONE!!)
Step 3, make the camera bump so that it justify buying cases for your iPad (DONE!!!)
What's next apple?
And just wait...in a few more years they WILL be a car dealership. HahahaSo coming from an iPad 3, to get the same type of coverage I would have with the smart case... I need the silicon backcover, and then the smart cover or the smart keyboard addon?
Don't get me wrong, I love my iPad, but all of the accessories would be more than 50% of the cost of the device itself. It makes Apple feel more like a car dealership.
I wish AirDrop was a little more reliable.
Thanks for bringing a lough to a dull rainy dayTra. La. La. Life.
Actually, the Air2 didn't have a 32GB option, but rather a 64GB option. So if you really want to get technical with it, you're losing half the storage for the same price.
Read my post again, I said iPad Air. Not iPad
Curious if the new cover will work on the Air/Air2? the website says iPad Pro only but that could be more marketing BS.
While Sept 2017 is technically next year, it'll be interesting to see if iPads are now on a 1.5 yr cycle. Or even longer.
I sometimes wonder if it makes more sense for Apple to release iPads in March the following year. Else, you are simply flooding the market with too many products within too short a period of time. A consumer might baulk at the idea of purchasing both an iPhone and an iPad within the same month leading up to Christmas, but might be more open to the idea of picking up an iPhone in November and an iPad in March because it means spreading out his purchases over a wider period of time.
iPad Pro 9.7 is not released until 31st.So?! Anyone out there that had an old Smart Cover and has bought the new iPad Pro9.7 who can tell us how they work together!?![]()
you're right! I thought it was on 27th or march (at least for you lucky guys over see!)iPad Pro 9.7 is not released until 31st.
There are some review units out there though

The 9.7-inch iPad Pro and the iPad Air 2 are the exact same size and thickness, measuring in at 9.4 inches by 6.6 inches by 0.24 inches (6.1mm), but Apple accessories designed for the iPad Air 2, such as the Smart Cover and the Smart Case, are not fully compatible with the 9.7-inch iPad Pro.
With the launch of the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, Apple also released a line of Smart Covers specific to the new device, which are being sold alongside Smart Covers for the iPad Air and the iPad Air 2. Given that many people may already own an iPad Air Smart Cover, there was some question as to whether it would fit on the 9.7-inch iPad Pro.

Because of the Smart Connector on the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, the magnet alignment in the Smart Cover is different, something an Apple representative confirmed to Macworld. For that reason, using the iPad Air Smart Cover with the 9.7-inch iPad Pro is "not recommended."
As for the Smart Case designed for the iPad Air 2, while it may fit, it isn't designed for the Smart Connector, the rear flash, or the four speakers on the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, making it technically incompatible.
With Apple's own iPad Air accessories ill-suited for the new iPad Pro, it stands to reason other third-party cases and covers designed for the iPad Air and iPad Air 2 are also not going to work with the 9.7-inch tablet, requiring adopters to purchase new accessories.
