Nope. That was from memory. I do still recall the release years for most iPhones and iPads.

Maybe. Or maybe he looked it up.Maybe he must’ve guessed better than you
A top notch
Like somebody took a bite of the iPad PRO.

Does that mean the AR sensors on the iPad PRO 12.9" are not as good? Actually does iPad PRO 12.9" has AR sensors?
I'm pretty sure the iPad Pro will be updated with a massive Bionic processor like the X and new graphics chips as well as FaceID and TrueDepth.
I guess almost everyone is happy that the (highly likely Apple paid) storm of HomePod articles is over ..
HomePod was all hype and no followthrough. The only thing it was good for was leaving a ring on your favorite coffee table.
Bad. It means when you touch the pencil to the glass, there's a noticeable gap between where the pencil is and where the screen is because the screen isn't laminated right to the glass. Ideally, you want the pencil to 'touch' the pixels, if you will.
That's more the proof about how dumb the market is and how over hyped this event was by clueless people (I mean no livestream and a presentation in a school should have been enough information about the scale and focus of the presentation).
Right.. bad joke, lies, go on, and when the actual sales come out and they're fine, retraction, no, you'll slink into darkness like all other detractors.
Well, that's not enough for bad programmed modern games and bad AR implementations...
Last year's 9.7 iPad (A9) was already a viable replacement to Air (1) generation iPads. This one with A10 is even more so.
“Very very” different is quite a stretch. And as an aside, is anyone actually using an iPad to film 4K video?
It is quite a bit faster than the Air’s but has an unlaminated display.
It has a faster processor and Apple Pencil support compared to the 2017 non-pro iPad. Also seems to be about an ounce heavier. Price is the same.
It's bad. Basically on iPad Pro it will feel like the content is right on top of your screen and you are actually touching the content while on this iPad the content will feel like it's inside the screen. The Air gap makes the screen cheaper to replace but compromises on brightness. The iPad Air 2 had a laminated screen at this price bracket so Apple is being very miserly here with this screen.
Air 2 started at $399 not $329. Even with refurbs, 2017 iPad 32GB WiFi is $239 while Air 2 32GB WiFi is $289 and even the Air 2 16GB is $269.
It's matter of personal preference whether one finds the air gap intolerable. We've got the Air, Air 2, Pro 9.7 and 2017 iPad and the air gap doesn't bother anyone in our household.
Indeed, and the 2017 - only the Air 2 has a laminated display of the last 4 non-pro ipads.
