iPad Pro Now Available for Purchase From Apple Online Store

I don't think you need to use this iPad at all to know what to really expect from it, it's basically an iPad Air 2 on steroids
Unfortunately, with the Euro falling in value against the dollar, the pricing these last few months really sucks. The iPhone 6s already became like 80 euros more expensive, and the 128 GB iPad Pro with cellular is 1249 euros here, which is way too expensive for me. Not that I need an iPad Pro, I'm happy with my iPad Air, but still, before the drop in euro (not that this is something I can blame on Apple 
), at least it was somewhat affordable.
Now, this is way above impulse purchase territory.
It is what it is, though. Not like anybody's life depends on the affordability of Apple gadgets.

Actually, you can blame apple. When $$ was pretty weak compared to €€, did Apple drop their prices in EU? Of course not.
But when $ went strong, did Apple increase the price? Of course they did
£679 in uk
$799 in US
Google '799 usd in gbp'
£527.41
Thanks, Apple!
The USA prices don't include State taxes AFAIK.. it's always the same - the US price appears to be a better deal but it's actually pretty much on parity once you add tax.
Sorry didn't know we were participating in some form of grammar forum - oh and if you're going to take a dig at somebody else's grammar take a look at you're own first - "at least make sure your using"..
Examples please? I'm under the impression they set a foreign country price when a product comes out, and it stays until the next cycle.Actually, you can blame apple. When $$ was pretty weak compared to €€, did Apple drop their prices in EU? Of course not.

Like I say, examples of what you're saying would be welcome.
The $165 includes our TAX yes. But if you do the math Australians pay an extra $32.50 compared to Americans.
Most things boil down to a "basically" - "The Porsche Boxster is basically a poor mans 911" - Its all about using it first before flinging out generic statements.
Sorry I don't know. I was passing the store and picked one up with the pencil. They had the keyboards too but I didn't have time for them to unpack them.
i've tried to make bluetooth keyboards work with ipads, but the minor annoyances break the experience for me. you have to charge it and pair it (annoying if you pair it to multiple devices, it might connect to one but not the device you want it to connect to when you turn it on). you have to bring an extra cable + battery incase keyboard battery goes out. the logitech one i have makes the ipad super bulky and heavy. the keyboard layout takes some getting used to.
very minor annoyances, but enough to say i'm done with bluetooth keyboards. i'm going to give the ipad pro keyboard a shot.
did you see their inventory of pencils? a lot left?

I was wondering if it would be worth to pick up an iPad Pro for consumption use (i.e. not professional use). I am aware it's more expensive than the iPad Air, but I am willing to pay the price difference for the 4 stereo speakers, the larger screen and the higher performance. It will be used mostly for browsing, youtube and some gaming. I don't care about the keyboard or the pencil, at least not yet.
The one thing that keeps me from getting one is that it's basically a 1st gen product, so next year it might have even better performance, 3D touch, as well as any possible issues with the new form factor ironed out. I can probably cope with my Nexus 10 for one more year if the 2nd gen iPad Pro is noticeably improved over the 1st gen.

Incorrect.
For example, the currently available Graf von Faber Castell Intuition Platino Pencil sells for US $550.

I think you missed the irony somewhat - but I changed it now.. Just so it's clearer.
I too live in Dallas. I ordered the Smart Keyboard but was contemplating on the Logitech one as well. The one I have for my iPad is the backlit ZAGG. Was wondering who else might've had a Logitech so I could ask impressions. I know it's personal choice but you think I should cancel the smart keyboard and go for the Logitech instead?
Do you have any pics of the Logitech Create out of the box so we can take a look here ?
Blame your country for the currency exchange and VAT.
Examples? Compare $ vs € 2-3-4 years ago. Compare the prices. You don't need any example, coz there is only one + logic.
