While I can afford, not sure if I’m willing to pay for the 12.9. Marketing @Apple needs to pull their heads out of their collective 4ss3s. I’m sure some of this is increased pandemic/chip related supply chain costs being passed on, but with a magic keyboard, pitaka case to protect the ends, Zagg elite protector, and Smart Cover... it is MORE expensive and a fully optioned M1 MacBook Pro that comes with a keyboard and 16GB RAM

Someone will get Mac OS running on it seeing as it's got an M1
its still an iPad. No amount of lipstick or ram can change that
The question is if it's only the 2 TB one that has a higher amount of RAM, I could be tempted for 512 GB if it has more RAM than the 128 GB one.
You know what would absolutely make this device, such that people no longer have to double guess the idea of buying one instead of a traditional computer, especially when it costs more than a lot of them now? DeX. Really, that's it. Give it a desktop mode like Samsung's tablets and smartphones do, so that people will have a more traditional environment to work when they need it. It's M1 running a similar OS to the Macs, so maybe it can even run applications made for the Apple Silicon Macs.
It would be a great move. I've seen multiple people say that they actually prefer the experience of using the Galaxy Tab S7+ because of DeX. Of course, they don't have the iPad's library of apps over there. Why not make a best of both worlds?

if you think the cost change between an iPad is a rip, let's dive into the world of property taxes increase over the last 6 years.
It’s a sweet device stuck in a very awkward OS/software environment.
YEAH really.
Thats what the Mac has turned into.
An iPad Pro.
boy have they simplified all the manufacturing processes
Capped at 2% where I live, so not a problem for me.
WWDC is going to be more important than ever with this new tech.
Obviously not, as it’s an accessory. Otherwise the price you’d be looking at is $2850+, a fair share higher than what most people would even consider. Best to keep the optionals... optional.
Definitely stick with your wife, instead of trading her for the iPP 2TB.
The front-facing camera is still on the side (portrait mode) instead of the middle (landscape mode)?
Are you kidding me?
Anyone who does serious video conferencing knows how awkward it is to video conference with the front-facing camera on the side. It's the worst possible positioning.

Here in europe the 2To is 1200€ more expensive than the 128Go. It means Apple is selling 1200€ a 2To drive.
At this point, I wonder if it’s not a joke.

Honestly its simply going to be overpowered.
IpadOS will limit it

The base-base price where I live for the 12.9 iPP is $1,500 after taxes. And the maxed out one costs $3,200 according to Apple website. That's INSANE
If an MacBook with 8gb ram can run Mac OS, so can this, they would never limit it to the 16gb model.
I hope Apple has some insanely great plans for this ipad moving forward...for this price.
