They should just drop the 11 inch pro. Upgrade the air 4 to the air 5 which would be what the 11 inch pro is now.

Proven Leaker Says New AirPods Ready to Ship, New 12.9-Inch iPad Pro Will Likely Outsell 11-Inch Model

A 12.9" iPad Pro should have the best cameras. Especially for close picture-taking.
I have an LTE 12.9" iPad Pro with Apple Pencil. The cameras should be better. E.g. Taking pictures of documents or other work should be much better. Closer shots should be more focused and clearer.
Apple Pencil currently doesn't do anything if I tap the top end. Maybe tapping this part could automatically take a screen shot and go into edit mode of whatever I am looking at on the screen.

Anything over 12" is too big for me to use as a tablet.
No, Apple has two “lines” of AurPods, one without ANC, aka regular AirPods, and one with ANC, AirPods Pro.
Apple is launching them at separate times to make everyone switch to these because the sound drivers will be superior over all AirPods(except Max).
Then in late 2021, or sometime in 2022, Apple will do AirPods Pro “2” with silicone tips, even better ANC, and also improved sound.
I’d much rather have the top of the pencil be a second tool (which would typically be used as an eraser). Desperately miss that from my Wacom.
If Apple let’s iPads run MacOS or even just MacOS apps then they will cannibalize sales of future Apple silicon Macs.
If iPads ever run MacOS then it’ll only be many years after selling us millions of Apple silicon MacBooks, iMacs, Mac Pros.
The separation between MacBooks and iPads is very real for the consumer but very arbitrary when looking at iPad Pro hardware: Allowing iPads to run any part of MacOS or any MacOS apps would only serve to underline how ridiculous this separation is.
I highly doubt that. MacOS is used with a mouse and therefore has much smaller and more detailed GUI elements. These would be pretty hard to use with your finger (even with the magic trackpad).
All of this sounds great. But personally first I want iOS 14.5 because all my devices that are new have been quite gimped by iOS 14 in general. They feel like they're 5 year old devices with all the bugs, lag and stuttering.
And a new Apple TV is about 2 years overdue. The remote is terrible and the guts are using 3 year old tech.

New devices are running slowly because they are running ios 14? That experience seems to differ from what the rest of the world is saying.
I hope Kang is wrong about the gen 2 AirPods getting discontinued. It would be nice to have them available in the $100ish range. With the lightning charging case of course.
No iPad mini mention? 
<cough>.

I would hope that Apple won't forget to update the 11 inch with the same specs as the 12.9. If they launch the 12.9 first it would be fine but differentiating the two models, in any other way that the screen size makes no sense and would only alienate people who want a smaller Pro and don't want the Air.
I made a similar assimilation a couple years ago. The only regret I have is not doing it sooner. It's way nicer (at least for me).
I've heard that the 11-inch iPad Pro with the mini LED display may not arrive until early fall. As for a new AirPods Pro 2, I'm interested, but who knows when they will arrive.... 🤷♂️
wow they didn’t mention that fool Prosser name. Must be catching onto what most say about the guy
This is the mini issue. The 12.9" should have the same camera as the rest of the devices. If a better camera can fit they should refrain from adding it to ensure all devices have the same specs.
if they don't, they won't have noise cancelling though right?
For casual use, I actually prefer my AirPods gen 1 over AirPods Pro, but I still enjoy having them for sound quality + bass improvements, and noise cancellation
But yeah, my comfort preference is no rubber thing
