Define total failure. Apple will only sell tens of millions?

The new keyboard with the built in trackpad is more interesting than the new iPad Pro.
Agreed. The base material looks very cheap compared to the magic keyboard for iMac and does not worth more than $200 that looks like an ordinary keyboard.
Won’t say yes or no. But Apple isn’t forcing any consumer to buy this product. Similar to the $999 display stand.
I have a 2018 iPad Pro 11". Model A1980. Is this compatible with the 11" Magic Keyboard case?
The KB price is very high for an iPad I will admit, but you can always use the old one. Except for LIDAR (for what purpose? AR and more realistic portrait shots maybe?) which is kind of cool... and an extra camera, microphones, and one more GPU core... is that it?
Not an amazing upgrade.
Heck the Macbook Air going to 4 cores and much better gfx is a better upgrade.

Compared to Macbook Air the iPad with the new keyboard is just way to expensive for ME!
Basically better off getting a refurb 12.9 2018 for $699 from Apple and the keyboard then. $1050 all in. Saves $300. The iPad itself isnt a huge upgrade at all.
And the savings basically pays for the whole keyboard then. $1050 for that combo isnt a terrible deal considering the actual iPad upgrade itself is so small. Basically unless you take iPad phots there isnt much upgrade at all.
Yup agree, not going to be a huge performance difference IMHO for day to day tasks
People: keyboard is too expensive! Should only be $10
also people: spends $500 on eating out and useless crap every month that benefits them in no way.
I cringed at the price too. Then i saw what it could do. I hesitate to say its worth exactly that much, but it definitely needs a price bump over the current keyboards. This thing makes your freaking ipad float. The keys light up. It’s got another usb c port. It’s got a trackpad. People be acting like it’s just a POS cheapo keyboard thats not worth much
Also: Apple has this alongside the regular keyboards. If you still want the older ones, they still make those too

At Adobe's current progress with Photoshop and Illustrator on the iPad I think you have a very long wait.
It's two better than a A12X ...
A Mini Pro? That's crazy talk, now, a Pro Mini, that's something I could see ...
Clearly this is a wait-and-see, but it has a pretty wide base and cradle/holder - I mean, I've been occasionally using a little aluminum desk stand that's designed for a phone, but with our iPP 12.9, and it's surprisingly stable (and it's only like 4" wide at the case, with a slightly narrower cradle!
Yes.
iPad Keyboards
iPad keyboards provide a great typing experience, full-size keyboard, and durable protection for your iPad.

Yeah, I scored a [more or less] NIB 12.9 3rd Gen first week of Jan this year, for $700, basically only lost 2-3 weeks of initial warranty, waited till 58 days, AC+, now it's covered through mid-March 2022, add this KB/TP, I'll be fantastically happy with the total cost.
