.Is someone trying to take it from you?Is anyone trying to convince you to replace your iPad Pro with this new 2018 iPad?
Unless you're a newborn, it's not difficult to understand the meaning of that well-used phrase. Think harder.
Have to say, once going 120 hz, can't go back.. won't buy anything really (okay, maybe an ips iphone x2) that doesn't support it.
Curious, does lack of OIS negatively affect the 5th gen iPads when used for document scanning?
Of course I understand the well-used phrase when it is used properly. Using it in this context makes no sense. This thread is about the new 2018 iPad vs. the 10.5 iPad Pro. Introducing the fact that you own the 12.9 Pro and love it is a non sequitur.
"microsd card support or usb-c storage options" .....we really have an old school user here
"Office apps" & "Mouse support" .....you raised my blood pressure a little bit there, But I was able to laugh a little.
"Real time file management"....I wasn't aware it wasn't real time?
People are often confused about which Mac they have, because macs are named like iPads, not iPhones with a version number in the name.
If “new” was in the product name, it would be capitalised. “The New iPad”
Are you saying the MacBook is actually called the New MacBook?
Of course not. Also, when Apple releases a new iOS version, it lists the names of devices that are compatible:
https://www.apple.com/uk/ios/ios-11/
No iPads are listed with the name “the new iPad”.

Anybody else feel that "Apple Pencil" should be reworded to "Apple Pencil support"? As is, it sounds like it includes it, when really, it just means that it has that capabitliy, and you can shell out more money for the appropriate gear.
I guess this is a page from last decade where others kept seeing "SD card" as a product that has an SD card slot and comes with one, even though some did correctly guess it was just a supported feature without the media included.

Omg i literally forgot that the bezel was even bigger than on the Air once upon a time (I got a iPad Pro 10.5*)
*exhausting to always type the whole thing out btw
Why would I want a orange screen
If you read just before going to bed. The whole point of night mode is to eliminate the blue light spectrum that research suggests interferes with quality of sleep. So there is why you might want an orange screen at night. It’s not like it’s and either or situation. I adjust my hue bulbs the same way.

Not doubting it may better for your needs but feature-wise, 12.9” is technically better at split view: https://www.imore.com/ipad-drag-and-drop-multitasking-and-split-view-ios-11-everything-you-need-know
Yes NIGHT SHIFT I use that too but not True Tone which makes everything orange no matter what time of the day
Not really though. I currently have the 9.7” pro, my partner has the updated model (10”?). The displays are immaculate especially on the current generation pros with true tone, wide color gamut, and that 120hz display. It’s unbelievable in person..... and the full 4 speaker setup is incredible. I’m sure they bag addition features the new iPad doesn’t and I’m absolutely glad that poorer markets now have access to the Apple Pencil..... THE reason I bought an iPad and without a doubt the best way to draw digitally (I use pro equipment as a hobbyist and this stuff beats a cintiq now). But even with pencil support there’s a lot separating these beasts out. I’m trying very hard not to get the 12” iPad (is it???) Pro right now when I should wait for them to update. Lol.
But an iPhone X with 3GB ram destroyed every android phones with 6-8GB ram so don’t say that this 2GB ram isn’t futureproof. Android tablets died years ago.
And as we know Android totally mismanaged ram so this iPad will continue to blow that 4GN android tablet away
I got a refurb iPad Air 2 that was for all practical purposes brand new and even had Apple Care on it. However, I was given a iPad Pro 10.5 by my staff recently and I surprised how much better the experience has been on that model. So, Yeah iPad Air 2 is now showing it age pretty well. It does have the laminated display which makes the display better than the the last two iPad releases. But it's certainly isn't better than the iPad Pro 10.5 which is brighter and with the 120 refresh rate when doing really graphic intensive stuff it way better. However, my kids still use the iPad Air 2 and it's nothing wrong with it, for me now I'd be settling for less if I had to use it and for some folks that is okay. By the way the 4 speakers are really nice too. I use my iPad Pro 10.5 every single day for several hours a day.
It's obvious what the differences are between the iPad (2018) and the 10.5" iPad Pro (2017), but at this moment in time, you are not getting an iPad that is twice as good for double the cost (just about).
This is why I reckon one or two things need to happen soon (3-6 months).
The current 10.5" iPad Pro needs to be reduced in price considerably to around £450-£500 (from £619) and or Apple release a brand new 10.5" iPad Pro with a considerable upgrade in hardware (A11X or A12, FaceID, smaller bezel etc)

I generally agree....but at this moment in time.....if you want a full size iPad (9.7" and above), you're 3 options and starting prices are:
iPad (2018) - £319
iPad 10.5" Pro - £619
iPad 12.9" Pro - £769
Apple in recent years have started creating a full range of options for the consumer at varying price points, yet with the full size iPad, there just isn't an option in the middle...ie. where iPad began...in the £400-£500 range.
The majority of sales going forward from now on will go to the new iPad at £319, which has a lower profit margin than the Pro's....I just don't see Apple enhancing the Pro line and keeping the price the same or higher...and leaving the middle market empty???
Talk about canabalizing your own high end sales with a cheaper device, that to many, is very similar. Way to go apple!!!
Was hoping they'll update the iPad Mini as well, pencil support and A10 would be nice. Looks like i will have to wait a bit longer...
I think the iPad mini is pretty much dead. I wouldn't hold my breath for a refresh. Not now, not ever.Was hoping they'll update the iPad Mini as well, pencil support and A10 would be nice. Looks like i will have to wait a bit longer...

I think I will still stick with an iPad Pro for the laminated display and Promotion. I write on my iPad Pro every day, and having a worse display will likely start to get annoying very quickly. It's one of those things which I probably won't save on.
