Live Coverage of Apple's 'Hey Siri' Event: iPhone 6s, Apple TV, iPad Pro, and More

Honestly for that money - I would just get an MacBook Air. I know it's a different device.. but I wouldn't spend that on "just" a tablet. My use cases require more. I'd rather buy a "cheaper" tablet.

 

[Technarchy]

I think I would get the iPad Pro with Keyboard over the new Retina Macbook.

Starting at $799 and the high end model being $1000. Is apple for real. I could buy a 11 inch air with that.

Good luck trying to use the Air display as a touch screen.

4 speakers? another word...ipad air 2 with extra sound boom!

And screen vibration lol

 

[neander]

I understand the keyboard is pricey but the pen....

 

[Chupa Chupa]

The completely delusional of blindies here is astounding. Apple just basically copied Microsoft Surface keyboard, but people are already complaining thant Samsung will copy the stylus...although their smartphone and tablet (Note, anyone?) had one for a long time.

Maybe but MS copied every other iPad keyboard case and Samsung copied every stylus from the Newton going forward. Real question is are these newest iterations more useful and efficient that competitors.

Looks like some potential battery space was sacrificed for all that "acoustic" speaker space.

I like the Pencil, the name not so much, but the functionality, definitely.

Well the Pen Is name was already taken.

lets be real. iPad pro is not something we've never seen. it's still weaker than a surface pro. honestly, i'm fairly disappointed. no real apps, like full photoshop, no real os, light on max storage at 128gb max and no way to add external drives.

I doubt many people are going to put an iPad Pro in their jeans pocket.

Not in the pocket...but that thinner look will make it more bendable when using it." The width and thinness...

 

[BruceEBonus]

Pro. Pencil. Keyboard. That's one expensive piece of kit....

 

[Crzyrio]

No Force-Touch is the biggest missed opportunity for the iPad Pro. Seriously, still not be able to touch and feel the piano keys, the pencil feedback or the keyboard...?

Anyway that's a bit too expensive for what it is and colours are still the 3 years old ugly silver/space BS.

Was thinking the same about the force touch. Makes you wonder if they will include it in the iPhone now

Jony is the voice of God...

it's so calm and soothing

 

[gagaliya]

who cares about the pen or flip keyboard, the only things that will make or break the ipad pro are:

1) Will it have a full blown desktop browser so the websites will all appear as they do on a desktop/laptop instead of the ****** mobile versions that never works.

2) Will flash work correctly like on a desktop browser.

3) Will it have enough memory so when you flip between tabs in the browser it doesnt refresh the whole damn screen again (desktop browsers never do that, only iphone/ipad).

If all 3 points are addressed with the ipad pro, i am a day 1 buyer.

 

[amirite]

it's not just a 99$ plastic stylus. ffs

 

[Traverse]

So, accessories draw power from the iPad. I wonder how much that will impact battery life.

 

[The Game 161]

Impressive but Macbook pro is all I need for stuff

 

[nutjob]

Apple fans just this minute realized how cool styluses are.

 

[Flow39]

Looks like some potential battery space was sacrificed for all that "acoustic" speaker space.

Well, according to them it still has that great "10-hour" battery life, so we'll see.

 

[diamond.g]

Wow, I didn't expect it to be more expensive than the SP3...

 

[thatpluslife]

no forced touch tho?

 

[syphern]

oh **** apple TV!

 

[Razorhog]

No force touch on the iPad Pro???

 

[throwthedice]

if 32GB is the base model on the iPad pro, I guess we'll see 32GB base models for iphones too... (or so I hope..)

 

[Irock619]

Wait....how much RAM? Will the camera shoot in 4K? How about more specs than pointless demos!!
