M2 iPad Pro Seemingly Features Exact Same Display and Camera Hardware as 2021 Model

We don’t want another Windows 8 fiasco. Making everything bigger so you can touch it made Windows 8 bad.

I guess we remain shackled to a portrait oriented camera location for video calls, they should have at least gone to landscape orientation on the 12.9 model. Lots of "experts" were predicting they would finally cure that patent defect. too much trouble I guess.
The oddity is that they did it on the entry level iPad. Are they saying "pros" prefer portrait mode?
Or people with a very old iPod who have been waiting to update?
Agreed. This is the year that ideas have run out, or that things have gotten so good that there is nowhere to go for the next few years.
Personally, I would have liked to see Apple introduce a thinner, larger iPad Pro… 12” and 14”, keep the M1, bump up the storage, and keep everything else the same including the 11” and 13” price points.
But that would take some engineering prowess. Unfortunately, all their engineers are too busy boycotting the return to office policy and being “productive” WFH.
Well, this was disappointing. Only a speed bump from M1 to M2, same display, same camera.
The only real upgrade here is the price of the M2! The 256 cellular M1 is €1179 but the 256 cellular M2 is €1399. which is practically the same iPad. So this means I have to get myself and lovely 2021 M1 model and save myself some money!

Well, thinner is challenging because of the fragility. We would probably have to say goodbye to aluminium and introduce stronger material. Most likely would be more expensive.
As for size, well, we already have a good selection so maybe another version 15" could be for specific audience but would it be worth it is another matter.

I… wasn’t suggesting that at all?
The other guy was excusing the lack of updates saying apple is working towards these iPads being capable of running a desktop class OS. And I replied they are already WAY capable of that
What that looks like is another discussion. I just referenced ability only.
Honestly wtf were they doing for a year and a half ? They stuck an m2 in and called it a day. No MagSafe, no camera updates. DO SOMETHING!
Apple has no more messaging. It’s been the same for iPad for years with very little new from apple. The biggest news out of today was that Davinci Resolve and Affinity Publisher are coming to ipad. Glad others are stepping up where companies like apple and Adobe are snoring…
I had forced myself to forget that thing. At least they kept the 2 around at a lower price, lol.
I‘d say new customers would benefit the most by buying a discounted 2021 iPad Pro …
I think I’m finally going to upgrade my 9.7 pro to this. I’ll get it from Best Buy, between rewards and gift cards, it will be cheaper.
If they can’t do thinner, just find a way to keep the weight down.
“Good selection”? You’re too kind. More like confusing as all hell. Let’s see… 9.7”, 10.9”, 10.9”, 11.1”, 12.9”… 3 out of the 5 models in their lineup have the same size display!
I wrote to Apple asking for landscape camera on iPad pro
Probably losing my time, but more chance someone reads it I suppose...
