Same. I would really only consider upgrading if something drastic happened like an 11” with OLED or an iPad mini with promotion. More cameras and a chipset the OS can’t fully use? Pass.
Got a tip for us?

I hope they will not release an ipad with a notch, I will not tolerate such thing this time. Also please Apple, give us real specs, enough with lies such us "m1 ultra equal or better that 3090". Just do your job and make fast graphics.
The iPad Pro is officially a boring product and I can’t believe I’m saying that having been an ardent fan and user since 2016. Give us a new Apple TV with A14 or M1.
I'll be disappointed if they don't move the camera to the top in landscape mode for the 12.9". I never use it in portrait orientation.
idk why, but I'm very interested whenever a new Apple TV comes out lol I really like the product.
hope we get the 14" iPad Pro soon! wonder how the new 12.9" will be.

True. But Apple needs several steps on its iPad value/price ladder to make you understand how big a value iPads Pro are compared to the budget and mid-tier options.
Apple isn't streamlining any lineups but segmenting them as strategically as possible to sell you up on spending more next to you buy a new device.
Selling you up doesn't work when you compress two separate products into one.
It's the same reason why Apple will never put out an iPad that overlaps in features, ports and specs with a MacBook, and why Apple's many pro apps most likely will never land on iPads.
probably on a 3-year refresh cycle, so next year. AirPods Pro were 3 years and so were the original AirPods before the 2nd gen. came out. 2 years between 2nd gen. and 3rd gen.
If the iPad 10 gets USB-C as rumored, I doubt it will have support for the 1st gen pencil since there would be no way to charge it. It'd most likely switch to the 2nd gen pencil, like what happened with the iPad mini last year.
The iPad has become the new Performa and the iPad Pro is the new PowerMac.
Without better software, what’s the point Og upgrading the iPad Pro and AppleTV?
I'm also baffled by how this user comments and reacts to every single article almost immediately. Almost as if that's their full time job. It's kind of sad.
The day I began ignoring this user/bot's content is the day I started actually enjoying these forums. The vitriol about unions made it pretty clear that this is either an Apple-affiliate, troll, or bot
I'm so tired of iPads getting bigger. All I need is a nice 7-9in tablet with enough edge to comfortably hold and not have my thumb block content.
I’m looking at a new Apple TV. I started with an early Roku, then later bought an Apple TV HD. When I decided to go 4K I bought a Fire TV, then back to Roku. Nothing has even come close to that original Apple TV.
I suspect there are definitely a few bots here on MacRumours.
My favorite part is the signature promoting (among other things) their own MacRumors reaction score. 🤣
Agreed, the block feature is a lifesaver here.
Agreed, waiting to buy the iPad 10 as soon as it comes out to replace my old iPad!
This is the company that sells…hold on, let me check..
8 different variations of iPhones at the moment. They include:
iPhone 12: 6 colors, 3 storage capacities: 18 models
iPhone SE: 3 colors, 3 storage: 18 models
13, 13 mini
14, 14 Pro, 14 Max, 14 Pro Max
Notice I gave up counting the variations. My only point is that to you and I, yeah, that would make sense.
To Apple…apparently not? 🤷🏼♂️

I am curious to see where Apple plans to take the iPad lineup. If you visit history for the iPhone lineup when it adopted OLED and the mid tier had LCD for a couple more years before finally having OLED where does that leave the Pro line with ProMotion, quad speakers, LiDAR, extra cameras, flash, FaceID and USB4/TB.
iPad (2022) = redesign, USB-C
iPad mini 6 (2021) = redesign, USB-C
iPad Air 4 (2020) = redesign, USB-C
iPad Pro (2018) = redesign, USB-C
iPad Pro 12.9” (2021) = microLED
Rumoured:
iPad Pro (2023/24) = OLED
iPad Air (2024/25) = microLED/OLED (possible)
iPad mini (2024/26) = OLED
iPad (2027/28) = OLED
Granted we still have iPhone SE with an LCD and some people prefer it due to PWM, but given that most people don’t purchase an iPad for its rear cameras it seem Apple is really stretching the OLED adoption.

I hope Apple would use this opportunity to bring HDMI 2.1 with 120 Hz, VRR, ALLM, QMS, and SBTM, while leveraging A14 to improve video processing.
