Seriously. As someone who once owned 3 different versions of iPads and haven’t owned any in years, I have NO idea what models there currently are, what’s the best deal, and what features separate them all. I’d have to spend a few hours looking it up and researching it all myself. Why? Lol so dumb

Also true. they think it would cannibalize MacBook sales to allow iPads to run full Mac. I disagree and think they would boost each other as complimentary sales rather than an insufficient bridge.
Aye Yeah I was thinking the same thing that I should just wait even doe I have no computer device now & I refuse to buy a MacBook until it gets faceID, OLED display , & Apple drops intel in 2020 supposedly

I know, it says a ‘detailed report’, and then all he said was new iPads at some point in 2019... yeap really detailed...
They should drop the the non Pro 9.7 iPad & just keep the two Pros & the 1 mini . I pod touches with 5.5 displays . Just the MacBook Air & the 2 Pros .2 iMacs & 2 iMac pros . 1 Apple display. 2 sizes Apple Watch . AirPods . HomePod . Apple TV Box . 2 New Apple Televisions with OLED or LCD . Mac . Mac Mini . Bring Back a Professional Photo App . Air Mat . (Plus Add USB C , FaceID to all products, & Add wireless Charging & The Taptic Engine to the IPad Pros with OLED displays . Plus some smart charging cords that only pairs with your phone for theft reasons . iPad only Software build from the ground up . Redesign IOS & Redesign Mac OS

How??
Because we need faster sync speeds with iTunes
The current sync speeds sync at snail speeds from 10 year ago.[doublepost=1550473516][/doublepost]
That is a good size for retail businesses. Many retail businesses buy those for their businesses these days. Before you sign there is a tip option of 15% 18% 22% or No Tip Option

I thought that Apple wanted us to do everything wirelessly now...
But seriously, I don’t do a huge amount of iTunes syncing.
I do.. Wirelessly is super slow as well. We got 40GBPS transfer speeds out of the MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt 3 then a massive bottleneck squeeze with snail like speeds to and from the old lightning port
Try syncing Calendars,Music,Photos and doing a regular backup during sync. Syncs can take forever which should not be the case these days and not for devices North of $1K either
What's confusing? Why not bother to spend a few minutes to read the specs that differentiate each variant model. Choice is a good thing.
When Apple makes their lineup too simple, like when iPhones used to come in only 2 colors, people bashed them for giving too few choices. When they expanded the choices and model options, people like you bash Apple for making the lineup too "confusing".
You've just described marketing/consumer psychology 101. Too much choice is NOT a good thing.
Faster sync speeds are possible with Lightning, Apple would need to upgrade to USB 3 on the iPhone though, like they did with iPad Pro in 2015.Because we need faster sync speeds with iTunes
I do agree here. Seems to be quantity taking over quality.
The “new” iOS made my ipad worse than when I originally brought it.
These sort of news frighten me that my not so old iPad Pro will become obsolete before it even gets old.
And where they get this “99% customer satisfaction” sort of thing? Does anybody remember being asked by Apple how happy they are?
Somewhat surprised to hear of new pros again this year, was expecting the current models to stay around for another 18 month cycle - that seems to have been the refresh interval so far.
How is it confusing? A pro iPad, a consumer iPad.. two sizes of each type?
I think they’ve only started recently to release surveys in numbers.
I’ve been asked when I bought my MBP, I’ve been asked when I got my iPad Pro 10.5, and I’ve been asked when I got the XS Max.
I wasn’t asked for the Mac mini but I only activated it two days ago, or any iPhone or iPad I bought before, and I’ve been buying them for years.
Then likely no sale for you. Because OLED doesn’t seem likely for the iPad, why? In general, it would just raise the cost even more for one, and I personally am fine with LCD technology on the iPad, which is almost been perfected over the years with Apple’s quality LCD panels. There really is nothing indicating OLED will be used on the iPad in the future from this point forward , I would say the next technology Leap will be ‘micro LED’.
Off topic, but I recently did a customer satisfaction survey for my credit card, this was one of the questions -
‘Overall, how would you rate the customer service you receive when using ******** branches regarding your **************?
If you haven't done this recently, please rate based on what you think the service would be like’
Seriously, what do I think the service would be like!
It really depends on what questions they ask and they don’t have to publish the results if they’re not good. They haven’t announced any results for the MacBooks recently.

I'm not sure if that was aimed at my comment about Apple not publishing the results of customer satisfaction surveys on MacBooks? If it was, there have been issues with the keyboards.

You'll have:
iPad Mini (7.9" or possibly 8.4" if they apply the new iPP design)
iPad (10.2")
iPad Pro (11" and 12.9")
Not at all, it was a response aimed at the title of the thread...which I didn't read properly LOL
So, does the average consumer that walks into Apple or another retailer to purchase an iPad, looks at the displays like they’re confused? They’re not. They’re choosing what they want in terms of display size and features, that’s it. There’s no need to over complicate things by saying ‘bloated and confusing’ in your post, when it’s neither of those things.
Plus, Apple has a ‘compare feature’ on their website for those who are undecided as well which iPad best suites them, so that would eliminate the ‘confusing’ part that you’re even referring to.

That's odd, because:
- I don't know why;
- I am an Apple Fan and I love the ecosystem so much, yet I am not inconvenienced by lightning. Not massively. Not at all;
- My Apple devices work seamlessly with each other. I almost never have to connect them via cable.
Still, I suppose that if I had a 1Tb iPad full of data I would think differently. I imagine that lightning will be replaced by something else at some point, but the above is true for me, for now.

Looking forward to your first post complaining that the Apps have not yet been optimised for your iPad xx.x".
[doublepost=1550487696][/doublepost]
I've missed the rumour about the 9.7 and the 10.5 being discontinued in 2019.
Funny that many Apps never got optimised for the 10.5. Including the way some site are displayed by Safari.

Neither have I, but this happens every year on here for iPhones, iPads and Macs (when they are released)
- Rumor about new models being introduced
- Everyone freaks out about a confusing lineup
- New models are released, old ones are discontinued
- Lineup is fine
