Not sure this iPad is real do to lack of part releases.
I recall one picture of the iPad plus shell but that was it.

With 1 to 2 GBs of ram and no swap file?
Ha.

It'll be announced with the MBA and maybe iWatch. It won't be an "iPad event"
That's exactly what he is saying. He means that it either makes an appearance at tomorrow's event and is released in a few months, OR it DOESN'T make an appearance tomorrow, and in that case it will not be released until next year, when it is introduced at the next annual iPad event.
LOL yeah they do.
LOL so funny.
LOL.

It's months away, obviously there won't be a bunch of part leaks.
Neither did the 5.5" iPhone

Actually I believe that shell was just a mockup of what one of the size would look like. It wasnt an actual part leak.
Some? A quick check of my DVD/Bluray collection yielded more than 60% movies in 21:9.
True. And 16:9 is in my opinion a really bad compromise for a device like the iPad, unless someone really plans to watch movies on it most of the time. I have a 16:10 monitor at work (where I never watch movies) and a 16:9 monitor at home (where I sometimes watch movies) and for both, I would strongly prefer 4:3, because the 16:x formats yield practically no benefits for any non-movie applications.
The average consumer likes that the iPad air or mini is very light and portable, with a 12.9" screen that defeats the purpose and they might as well bring a MacBook air with them
So this is in fact aimed at power or pro users, which again won't work because iOS on the iPad is nothing more then a blown up iPhone interface because Apple gave up on optimizing iOS for iPad a long time ago
Unlike the 6+, no one is looking for a bigger iPad that does the same thing
According to that logic, people could also use a 10" netbook instead of a 10" iPad. Many people don't.
I really don't know how anyone would get the idea that a device with a 12.9" screen would be targeted towards "power or pro users". Is the MacBook Air (a device with a more powerful processor) targeted towards power or pro users? No? Ok, then the 12.9" iPad won't be intended for that user group either. Pro users need big screens and lots of computing power. Pro users will start getting excited about an iPad when it has a 27" screen and a quad-core Xeon processor.
The _average_ consumer. Apple wants to sell hardware to non-average consumers as well. And many people prefer the iPad to a MacBook, even a MacBook Air. If only 5 percent of existing iPad customers and the same number of new customers buy an iPad 13" then it outsells the MBA.
Many people like a 10" iPad. Many like a smaller one. Many like a bigger one.
I asked for the watch. And I have seen people in the forums who want a 13" iPad. So it is literally quite obvious, that you are literally wrong, according to the literal definition of the word "nobody".
10:16 is pretty awkward, IMO, on larger tablets.
I have some ~10" devices and landscape is much better. Its just too long to hold comfortably. A 12-13" device would be even worse, I imagine, though making it lighter would help.
Anyway, I don't see why 16:10 would be especially desireable unless you mainly want to use it for video (and in that case, why not 16:9?)
I know it sells great but it's still a iPad and not an iPhone. You should be able to find it much easier.
Yep, and they are fantastic. If I were an android user I would absolutely be using only nexus devices. I can't believe anyone would buy a galaxy S over a nexus.
Watch
Fair point. As a T-Mobile user who buys phones unlocked I forget that millions of people don't use that option.
It might as well BE delayed for most people, given how absolute sh-- the supply is right now.
I really hope TSMC doesn't go bankrupt in the near future.
I think we're pretty safe from that happening.TSMC has been in the business of manufacturing semiconductors for a very long time. Longer than Samsung.
I guess apple is full of leaks today. Right after Google's announcements look what else gets leaked.
Eat crow much?
I disagree about it being limited for a pro user. But I totally agree with iOS needing an adjustment for such a large screen. Even the 6Plus showed that conventional iOS wasn't ideal with the added space and resolution.
I have a feeling Apple with show what changes they made to iOS when and if they unveil a 12.9" iPad
