Why would you need to airdrop a file to your iPad if you’re logged into the same iCloud account anyway?

'iPhone 11 Pro' Rumored to Be Name of High-End 2019 iPhone With Triple-Lens Camera

Because at work, my iPhone and iPad are on cellular and I don’t wish to burn my own data syncing them over using iCloud Photo Library.
Just recently, I was preparing a video for my school’s national day celebrations. My colleague and I went about filming our students using our iPhones, then we airdropped all the footage onto my iPad where I edited them using lumafusion.
Airdrop just doesn’t get enough credit. Sure, it doesn’t work with android phones, but if you are able to set it up such that your collaborators are using iPhones, it’s so convenient to be able to fling photos around. My colleague was able to transfer like 145 photos to me in this manner in seconds. Contrast with WhatsApp which compressed the photos to heck. And the effort I have put in towards promoting this feature had paid off, as my colleagues are starting to become more cognisant of this feature and are now using it more extensively.
Another reason for being all-in on the Apple ecosystem - the ability to share app purchases between my iOS devices. An app I purchase for my iPhone will be available on my iPad and vice versa.
Since I use an Apple TV to mirror my iPad in the classroom, it’s handy to be able to extend this benefit to my iPhone (have used it to airplay footage I took of my students, or even shown them data from my health app as a talking point for science).
Then there’s the Apple Watch and Airpods, which I feel pretty much speak for themselves.
I guess I could replicate my setup on android if I tried hard enough, but I currently have a system going with my Apple devices, and I see little point in mucking it up over benefits which are negligible to my use case.
Especially now with ios 13 right around the corner, bringing Apple Arcade and additional productivity features to the iPad.
What about the ones that are dockable so you can use it with a monitor and keyboard set up
Unless it has USB-C and 5G, I'm not touching it, ill wait until next year if need be.
The problem with capitalism? Thats a feature. You think everything should be free? Any idea where money to create these things comes from?
The UAE deployed 5G on its two biggest networks (Etisalat & du) and so I will benefit greatly from a 5G device.
I don’t care what they call it. I don’t know why so many people lose their minds over a product branding.
I agree with pretty much everything you said here, except for the last sentences*. To me it still seems weird, that the camera bump + charging capability is everything we get this year. That seems very lazy, even for Apple. But this is all speculation. IF this turns out to be true, then I'll agree with everything what's being said in this forums.
However, as of right now, I personally think that most of the product decisions Apple has made most recently are actually very good. Both hardware and software wise. I remember one year ago, I was smashing my iPhone against the ground because it was so bugged, I couldnt even reliably take a call. But since then, it really has been a rapid climb back up. So they have my fair bit of trust on this one (also: my iPhone SE is basically running out of lifetime, so its not as if I have much of a choice).
*My personal opinion: Apple still is years ahead design wise, they just know how to build good controversy. Like the notch. And the next one will be this camera square, which is barely at the limit of being disgusting, but yet, in the most recent renders here just strikes the balance of beauty. People will talk about it, some people will hate it, yet most will buy and desire it (if not now then in 2020) and it will grow the brand recognition/strength even further. Apples designers are masters at this, which is what makes them so good.

Apple is widely expected to release three new iPhones in the fall, and an anonymous Twitter account with a proven track record has suggested that at least one of the models will have "Pro" in its name, such as "iPhone 11 Pro."
The tweet comes from a mystery account named CoinX, which has accurately leaked several details about upcoming Apple products over the past year, including the names of the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR before anyone else, the removal of the headphone jack on 2018 iPad Pro models, and much more.
CoinX's accurate leak about the 2018 iPhone names:
In this case, CoinX phrases the tweet as a rhetorical question, but the account has a perfect track record so far with all of its leaks:
For what it's worth, MacRumors received the following anonymous tip on August 4: "The square camera iPhone will be called the iPhone 11 Pro. This is fact." It would be a disservice to our readers to simply pass along any unsubstantiated tip we receive, but it is now worth mentioning in light of this tweet.
This could mean the 2019 lineup will include the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro, and perhaps the iPhone 11R, but we still don't know for sure.
Apple is widely expected to unveil three new iPhones next month, including two higher-end 5.8-inch and 6.5-inch OLED models and one lower-end 6.1-inch LCD model. Rumored features include triple-lens rear cameras on the higher-end models, larger batteries, two-way charging of AirPods, and much more.

People like to have their purchases justified by Apple. "I want the Pro!" is all customers will say. Because marketing (i.e: 'pro' moniker) will convince people they're getting the superior device for their needs. Most people will never touch the sides of the features they've paid for. That's what happens with the MBP. "It SaYs PrO sO I WaNt ThAt OnE cOs Im a PrO!"

Couldn't agree more. Apple are currently taking advantage of their customers. I believe this won't stop this year or next though. Apple think they're superior so they'll expect you to pay for the privilege of using their products.
Obviously everybody uses their phones differently but scheduling a message at a certain point of time is suppose to be anything more than a gimmick? If anything that shows how lazy the world is today that they can’t even write a simple message by themselves.
Multitasking is better on samsung with spilt screen but thats not a point i disagreed with as i highlighted above. That said many may not have the need on an iPhone. The key multitasking on the note is there on the iPad for the most part which can be used better on a bigger device.
Swiping left works very well to go back on the iPhone not found any app where it doesn’t work well. Gestures on the Samsung is not at the level of the iPhone which is why i stuck with onscreen buttons.
I fail to see how notifications are better on android personally. They are still all cluttered together at least on the iPhone you can collapse the notifications so they aren’t in your face consistently when you want to see your notifications. Would rather have them grouped so the notifications don’t take up so much space. On android notifications just seem like a mess to me.
As for the LED notifications last time i checked they got rid of that when the punch hole arrived so thats not even a feature anymore and even when it was there i never saw the benefit of it. If you got loads of notifications then it was rather pointless. People who get loads of notifications would just have an Apple Watch anyway which is as close to a mini iPhone as you can get.
So I fail to see how the list goes on that makes the note more pro. Most of the new S pen features in the note 10 are just other ways to use your camera and make pets come to life...not exactly features for a professional.
It’s a phone so you won’t be able to do anything truly professional on either.
Note 10 is a great phone but for me there are more draw backs leaving the iPhone to go to a samsung. I learnt that the hard way when I switched to the S10 plus.
tbh the pencil and usb does make it pro compared to the entry level.
arguably no laptop is PRO compared to a workstation.
and no workstation is PRO compared to a supercomputer if you do some wierdass space simulation.
its just a moniker, get over it
since when
My focus is on AW and AirPods (if 2.0). X will serve me at least one more year.
i think it has something to do with how apple used the moniker... last year.
you know. iMac Pro - "ready for pro users" (quote from apple site)
Logic Pro - professional as opposed to Logic Express
Final Cut Pro
MacBook Pro (as opposed to MacBook)
Mac Pro
because "Pro" has since forever meant Professional, and nobody uses Pro as a "Productivity" moniker - especially Apple.
absolutely nobody ever thought Pro is for Productivity.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with an iPhone having a Pro moniker anyway. It has more options aimed at professionals for fieldwork, it's 100% legit. More legit than thinking it means Productivity anyway

But how are these not the same things? If you're not productive you're 0% effective within your professional life. And productivity can take different forms and shapes in professional life. In the context of the phone, it can be as simple as writing mails, which in some jobs defines up to 100% of your responsibilities (namely communication).
absolutely.
but abbreviation Pro is used for "Professional" in common context and in all other apple context. Assuming it suddenly means "productivity" is a stretch
It sounds like Apple is just using the 'Pro' moniker to justify charging more money for it.
Bit of a joke to put so many cameras in a phone, but to each their own (not trying to diss Samsung fyi, generally speaking) - I think the whole number-of-cameras "war" that started a few years ago is ...
