LOL seems like the release cycle is functioning in reverse now. Just waiting for Apple to announce them.

You're not saving much, and in fact paying more for an ipad pro 12.9 with magic keyboard with equivalent specs to macbook air. So you're already paying for macos.
The thing is, for a 12,9" iPad Pro + Magic Keyboard you can already buy a MBA with some options.
I have a MM2Pro and a MB1Pro and am still hoping to replace the MB1P with an iPad of at least 12,9" to do the same. When at home I can use the MM, when outside use the iPad in a same manner as a MBA or MBP could (regardless the processing power I don't need).
I have ipad pro M1's in both sizes with magic keyboards and they're not replacing my macbooks anytime soon as ipadOS sucks for what I do. The built in file managment is plain trash. and don't get me started on ipad FCPX... my wife's old mba M1 8gb/256 base spec runs FCPX so much better than my loaded iPP 12.9 2TB/16 M1
No Apple care. Apple support say capacity =/= run time, so 50% battery health/capacity (whatever the call it) does not equate to 5 hours usage. It's really fked up. I don't need a mega long battery, but it would make using my iPad a bit nicer.
Yep. They know a lot of people bought the 2018 one (myself) and this one is the kick to get them to update (which I am anyway).
I have the same model and it’s mostly fine, but the big limitation is only 3GB of RAM. I, like most people like to have a lot of safari tabs open and they constantly have to reload with only 3GB RAM. The 8 or 16GB of the M series models is a game changer.
What do you mean? The battery replacement is the most affordable repair you can get, only around $100 or so
If you take your iPad in, Apple will run a test and 99% of the time it comes back saying it has >80% battery life and they refuse to replace it. Even if your iPad only lasts 2 hours instead of the original 10. There are several large threads on the issue in this forum. Anyone who says otherwise has clearly never tried getting an iPad battery replaced.
It also isn't helped that frankly the ipad Pro 12.9 has garbage battery life to begin with.
An iPad Pro is not significantly cheaper than a MacBook Air. What you would get would be a touch screen, pencil support, FaceID, and a tablet form factor when you want it.
Ross Young's rumors tend to be more accurate than most others because he is basing this on what the supply chain (mostly for screens) is saying. What he can't predict are the final decisions that Apple makes about which way to go. If Apple has gone through an extensive prototyping and tentative production talks with suppliers before deciding to stop a project, that change can be abrupt.Keep in mind that this is the same Ross Young who incorrectly predicted a Mini-LED iMac Pro on March 9, 2022.

Ross Young is a clown.
your focus on hinges is indeed, key.
apple has always had great hinge technology.
and, in order to make the new keyboard and "laptop-like" design of the new iPad Pros, hinges will be the key.
my only disappointment is that there is no rumor linking this new laptop design / keyboard with the new iPad Airs.
i dont want or need a thicker, heavier iPad Pro. i want an iPad Air with this new keyboard.
then, its bye-bye MacBook Air.
Yeah, apples hinges are so great, they damaged display cables on the 4th gen MacBook pros.

I use 32 inches now. I couldn't even go back to 27. Too small. Time for Apple to up its monitor game.
Yes, I don’t trust the algorithm that Apple uses. I have several older iPads that have bad battery life compared to when they’re new and coconutbattery says their battery life is in the 70% which is due for a replacement. Apples diagnostics software always says they’re good. 😡
