As opposed to...what exactly?As the hardware becomes sleeker it emphasises how pathetically outdated iOS's sparse 4xn grid of icons is as a primary interface.

Tiny hands?
I find the current keyboard too cramped for extended touch typing as it is. Making it smaller can’t help.
Oh they’ll be rounded, it’s obviously the new design language and very Ive. The closer the display gets to the rounded device edge (i.e. as the bezel width shrinks), the more incongruous it looks to have a sharp 90° corner on the display.
The 10.5 won’t fit in a physician’s lab coat, or above the yoke of a plane. It’s also a very large and expensive kindle.
All in all, the 10.5, or 9.7” for that matter, is no substitute for those vertical markets that rely on them. Apple is well aware, and i think we’ll see at least a CPU update of the mini 4; they can’t keep selling an A8 device forever.
You are on mac rumours lolI'm tired of rumors. Let's get this show on the road! My wallet is ready.
The current 10.5" 256 GB is $799, there’s no reason to think FaceID will add $500. Apple added no FaceID premium when updating the 8/8 Plus to the XR.
All new design, A12X, FaceID... okay: 10.5" 64GB base model starting at $999. The 256 GB model will definitely be in the ~$1.200 ballpark.
You’re being ridiculous. A12X doesn’t increase the price, the Pro models always get the latest X version of the CPU. Sure FaceID replaces TouchID but it’s not going to add $350 to the price. Look at the previous upgrades, that’s the best indicator of the likely pricing.All new design, A12X, FaceID... okay: 10.5" 64GB base model starting at $999.

Same screen, same battery, slightly smaller chassis, same size/cost CPU just a new updated version, no fancy rolled under screen. There is nothing that adds significant cost other than faceID, and that is also in the XR so the cost can’t be that high
They a;ready hiked the iPad Pro a lot, I hope they don’t do it again - and eve if they do, it won’t be by much.
