Live Coverage of Apple's 'Let Us Loop You In' iPhone SE and 9.7" iPad Pro Event

Tmelon said:
The Apple lineup is starting to get messy. They have the cheapest iPhone being the SE which has better internals than the more expensive iPhone 6 and 6 plus as well as the smaller iPad Pro with better internals than its larger counterpart. And now they are naming both iPad sizes "iPad Pro" making the accessories confusing as they now have to specify what size it is. They could have at least called it the iPad Pro and iPad Pro Plus to give some sort of differentiation.

I am a iPad pro owner and I am done with Apple and their crap. How can they upgrade the cameras etc on the smaller iPad pro and leave us larger iPad pro owners with less camera specs. Also, I wish the 256 GB iPad pro was out when the iPad pro was originally released. This will most likely be my last iPad pro. What's the point of the device, just a larger iPad now.........
 
I'm a bit down on Apple but not for the cost reasons most of you have been complaining about. I want the software to go back to usable. I have 45gigs of music - iTunes seems to have been written for someone with 5 or less. I have too much invested in Mac software to switch, but every time I open iTunes and get that annoying radio ad, I wish I could chuck it all. That said, I'm still going to buy the new iPad because I've been wanting to use the pencil. Having spent lots of money on just about every pressure sensitive stylus out there, nothing compares. Thursday can't come soon enough.

I've been waiting for to years to upgrade my MacBook...nothing!

Instead Apple tries to push the iPadPro line. While a great product, best iPad ever, IT IS NOT A LAPTOP REPLACEMENT!

It's not the hardware...it's the OS. IOS is just not ready, file management, website compatibility, even comparability with iCloud. Apple still won't develop a convertible laptop like HP, Dell or Microsoft because they want you to buy three devices. Well, news flash Apple....I only want two! I don't like being played!

hmm... It does occur to me, though, that they were saying "personal computing." And they may be thinking of that as distinct from "professional computing"... possibly... I mean, they know for a fact that Logic Pro, Final Cut Pro, and even Xcode don't run on these things, so they can't abandon the Mac entirely. At least not any time soon.

I'm not so sure. I think they really think that the iPad Pro can do it all, provided you have all 50 adapters and the keyboard, and the pencil.

Wow, all Apple has now is old tech. Everything inside anything is a year or more old. Every other brand is already on Skylake, Apple is serving nothing. Old tech inside old design.

Wow, all naysayers have now is old comments. Everything inside anything is a year or more old. Every other intelligent person is already on the next subject, Naysayers are serving nothing. Old comments inside old comments.

Absolutely. As much as people here don't want to admit it, the MAJORITY of PC users out there probably CAN replace their computers with iPads. Maybe not us, or anyone in a rush to label themselves as a "pro" (ugh) user. But consider this: a healthy percentage of PC users use their machines to check email, watch videos/movies, play games, look at pictures, word processing, and an occasional program-specific task. "Pros" will bristle, but that's reality around the world. What about that workload can't an iPad handle?

Apple's not abandoning the Mac. I'll even go so far as to say "ever".

I love how all the Apple newbies are saying this was the most boring keynote ever. Obviously they weren't around for the HiFi & iPod sock keynote.

BUT - Many people don't feel comfortable using a tablet for these things... Here the much cheaper (and better for those things?) chromebooks come in. I love my Chrome Book and use it more than my MacBook. MacBooks have a to small screen for pro work. There I use my 27" iMac.

Are you getting the new 9.7 inch iPad Pro the?? :) :)

Yeah. Bought the surface last month. I love it but it's not useable as a tablet to me. I mostly use it as a laptop. I already have a desktop do the iPad will fit in well. Plus I will get a $1500 refund on the surface with keyboard and get the pro for $750. I will look for 3rd party keyboards.
