I am more looking for a form factor upgrade. With thinner bagels and all. miniLED is not that important as long as its a better display. Processor update is needed. As fast as it is, I just don't want to buy an iPad with an aging processor and design, especially when a new one is imminent.
Damn straight! What the iPad needs is to come with thinner bagels.
If it does come out, that would mean only one thing. Apple needed consumer testing for the lidar scanner before putting it on an iPhone. But you are probably right. We may not get another one this year. Probably in 2021 March.
en. it maybe a marketing strategy, when apple could not refresh ipad pro with significant improvement in earlier 2020 due to manufacturing or design problem, and customer is already waiting for refresh and not buying any more old model. in order to fill the gap, it simply add lidar and open a new core of old cpu, then push it to market.
Not me, I love this form factor. I dunno how you’d hold it with thinner bezels. I’m using the big model, maybe thinner bezels could work on the smaller one? I prefer quite thick bagels though.
Names don’t have to make sense for their respective products, they just have to be recognizable. In what way does the name “Amazon” really relate to online shopping, other than being the name chosen by a company that went on to be huge in the online shopping arena. Similarly with “Apple” and technology - its not like the fruit was frequently held up as an example of technology before a couple of guys used it as the name for their little computer company.
The bigger the model the less awkward the bezel looks. I don’t want too small a bezel. Just as big as the iPad Air’s side bezels. the current iPad Pro bezels might be thinner than the top bezels of the iPad Air, but it’s bigger than the side bezels. And that’s odd looking. You’ll still be able to grip the iPad just fine.
Amazon.com isn’t located in the amazon river. The Ford Mustang isn’t a horse.
The Mustang is, however, one of Ford’s more performance oriented models. Are you arguing that model names should be picked at random rather than having a thematic relevance to the product being marketed?
Are mustangs particularly fast horses? How about impalas? Is an impala faster or slower than a mustang? Should Chevy and Ford have been forced to swap product names based on who wins a race?
I have no idea, but I think that’s the vibe Ford are going for. That’s the point - it’s about invoking a feeling.
I didn’t make a straw man argument, I made a valid inference from your post. It sounded like you were defending poorly chosen product names. Still does.
I already addressed this point. Other companies using inappropriate names doesn't make this one appropriate.
