See my comment a few posts back. You have to take into account the exchange rate when the price was set on the two different models too

I have even stopped getting a new iPhone every year. I use to jump at launch day products I'm slowing down a bit as the watc and this iPad doesn't interest me.
hehe ... question now is . do *I*want it ...
nah,, i'll wait for u guys to rub it in a bit more.
It can run at the same speed as iOS 8, as they gimped the iOS 9 performance for existing devices.
Desktop class hardware, so you can scroll smoothly again !
Will do if I can work out how to do itPleaseeee Geekbench the hell out of it!
Agreed I nearly fell over when I saw the prices... In 2 minds now if I will buy.. Shame Optus doesn't offer the Samsung 12.9 inch tablet anymore....
Ordered my 128 for in store pickup today. Nice surprise we can get it today.
As an Apple fan, I'm very disappointed at this new tablet. It brings nothing new to the table.
I don't see how this will replace my laptop, OR my current iPad Air.
They should really learn from Microsoft's Surface Pro 4.... that machine is amazing, and miles better.

I have the Samsung Note Pro 12.2. I wanted a larger iPad for years, Apple didn't make one, so I tolerated that Samsung garbage. Constant error messages it cannot connect to server (Samsung's to check for updates to Samsung bloatware). It's a POS. It's a pretty POS, and lightweight POS, but still a POS. lol.
YUSS!!!!! Preparing for Shipment! From past experience I imagine mine's coming straight from China, probably Shenzhen. So I guess there's a great big pile of them there that they're getting on to today and tomorrow.
I think to compensate for the d--k move of releasing iPad Pros without pencils (after hyping the pencil as 99% of the appeal of the device), Tim Cook should do the right thing and only charge people who bought them today what Microsoft charges for their Surface Pro pens
Come on, Tim. Whadda ya say, buddy? For the fans?

£679 in uk
$799 in US
Google '799 usd in gbp'
£527.41
Thanks, Apple!
US prices don't include tax, UK prices do. The UK tax free price is £566 so it's a bit more expensive here but by not as much as you think.
Yeah I understand what you're saying but don't think the upgrades are worth the money. Especially as it's not running OS X. Sticking to surface pro 4 as I also have an iMac.

Thats the link for geekbench 3
Just run the benchamrk and it would say all specs and show how powerful the A9X is. Plus, youd be the first in the world to run it and will be on the front page of Macrumors and other sites

Um, they're coming 5 days after the iPads. That's hardly "without pencils", and it's hardly unprecedented.I think to compensate for the d--k move of releasing iPad Pros without pencils (after hyping the pencil as 99% of the appeal of the device), Tim Cook should do the right thing and only charge people who bought them today what Microsoft charges for their Surface Pro pens

The iPad Pro isn't going to replace a laptop. They can say all they want it can/will but it won't. It's just a larger iPad, other than the Apple Pencil there are no new features and the Pencil is only going to help artists. I have a rMBP, there is no way I would not use that for creating something over the iPad Pro. I still bought one, I want a larger iPad. If Apple was serious about the Pro replacing laptops it would have 256gb of storage or more available. At the very least it needs an SD card slot, but we all know how likely it is that ever happens. lol.
The problem with the Surface 4 is it's not great at being a tablet because, 3-4 years into Windows tablets there still aren't a ton of apps. Which means it's more of a very expensive laptop with a horrible and expensive keyboard, that can be used in tablet mode. And it runs Windows, which gets worse with every version. For the price of a Surface 4 with the keyboard, or the Surface Pro 4 with a keyboard, you can get a superior laptop. There are tradeoffs in everything no matter if it's running OS X, iOS, Windows, or Android.
And I would skip the Apple keyboard for the iPad Pro. If you need/want a keyboard look at the Logitech one. I've had Logitech keyboards for iPads and the Logitech Pro for the Samsung Note Pro and they are great keyboards. They're not as thin as a smart cover like the Apple keyboard but every review I've read so far of the Apple keyboard is highly critical.
Ipad Pro, nearly as big as a laptop and at a similar price, but with a fraction of the functionality.
I'm a big fan of SOME Apple products. I USED to be a fanboy and like everything they put out, but that was years ago, when they didn't release products that make you scratch your head in puzzlement and wonder what they heck they were thinking when they designed them. Apple have got to the point now where almost every product for the last few years is a head scratcher.
This is another one that puzzles the heck out of me: Only two different levels of memory (32 gb and 128)? What happened to a sensible 64 gb model? And what is up with only the 128 gb having cellular? Looks like another situation of semi-forced upgrades to me. How many people would have been happy with a 64 gb model with cellular, but will be forced to upgrade to the most expensive model of all to get the connectivity? And what the heck is up with the Apple Pencil? Which isn't even a pencil in the first place, it's a friggen STYLUS.
