Limited iPad Pro Availability May Suggest Imminent Launch of New Models

And what is wrong with the current ones on the market?

first gen design (never again I’m falling for that) and they bend too easily (seen several of them in a curvy shape, various capacity & color)... reminds me of iPhone 6 Plus 😉

Bending certainly affects some people it seems, that’s clear. But I don’t think its anywhere near the volume that echo chamber thread suggests.

Me, my 11” has been in my work bag every day since launch and survived unscathed 🤷‍♂️ Far and away the best iPad I’ve ever owned, and I’ve had most of them.

Unrelated, but I’m still mystified by the bent iPhone crowd who carry it in their back pocket and sit on it. Well duh.

sure, my sampe is not the norm... I'm applying it to my use case when I carried iPad in a camera bag, having it pushed under plane seats, pressed against lenses etc without any damage to the aluminium case or screen

I really love what iPad Pro delivers except the seemingly lower durability plus it being the first gen product is what stopped me from getting one.

Better odds on the return of the headphone jack lol.

Not saying I disagree with your desire for it.

Why do you think that? They are obviously making the iPad more like a computer, or at least trying. An extra port would be really awesome, especially for those of us that edit off of an iPad with Lumafusion and an external hard drive!

I know what you mean, but unfortunately I think we’re a couple of yearly os updates away from the kind of functionality that will justify* a second USB C port.

I’m right there with you, but I’m not holding my breath.

*That Apple will consider justification for a second port. Legendary desire to reduce ports/go minimalist, combined with their perception of whether the market demands it.

Nothing but it’s from 2018 and would be silly to buy it now after holding it off for so long

Same here, my 2017 10.5 pro is working well, my main annoyance is the lack of USB-C. Waiting for the 2020 11” Pro.. I hope they added two USB-C, would make dongle life so much easier..

Well, they did give us USB-C, right, it was a great move, hoping for a second port, one for charging and one for anything else..
