I totally agree..
I still completely love my original 9.7" iPad Pro.
Does everything I care for and is lighting quick to me...
I have both the aforementioned screen issues and responsiveness issues. The first one is definitely hardware (I will look into getting my device replaced as soon as I am able to, but that is probably in a couple of months). The second one, I do not know, it is hard to troubleshoot, it seems to come and go.
Regarding to iOS, I agree adding Files was an improvement, but it is still pretty crippled, and that was iOS 11. Sharing files across apps still looks like a pain. I would expect much much more to be satisfied. How about iOS 12 ? I cannot cite anything that made me say "wow, glad I got the update".
While I definitely don't doubt that you have the issues, I personally don't feel it should be applied to an overall blanket statement that Apple's quality is bad today. Hopefully you can get it replaced and be good to go. Apple is usually pretty good when it comes to this sort of thing. Well iOS 12 was originally supposed to have all of the rumored iPad specific features of iOS 13, but those features were pushed out to focus on performance. I was more than happy with a performance focused update though as iOS does everything I need it to currently. I think iOS 13 will be step in the right direction for the iPad.
I did. But you made several points in your post. I only had a comment on one of them.
Just because your preferred solution isn't the one I suggested doesn't mean that my suggestion isn't a valid solution to the problem that a newly purchased iPhone and a newly purchased MacBook cannot be connected to each other without buying an extra cable.
I thought Apple was a "services company" now (don't talk about unit sales!). lol
Yea...I don’t think it will. Maybe about $100, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. I’m inclined to believe larger sized consumer iPads (10.2”) will come in at higher prices to accommodate. Just look at what they did with the XR. It increased the entry level price on the iPhone.
So far I have refused to buy the iPad Pros, iPhone X, XS, and XS Max. Way overpriced. Their loss.
Angela Ahrendts' probable influence at Apple to promote luxury pricing didn't go over so well with consumers, and she's out now.
I think people just want to see a more dramatic overhaul than the incremental updates we've seen to date - make iOS Pro for the iPad pros to run, bring in mouse support, floating window functionality, multiple instances of apps, a more powerful version of files etc. Don't port MacOS to iPad, but give iPad some of the functionality to make it appeal to more people as a MacBook replacement.
That's fair and I totally agree - I'd love all of what you mention.
You need a USB-C to Lightning cable for USB 3 speeds of course. The supplied Lightning cable with the 10.5" iPad Pro is USB 2.0.
Yeah, i know,
I am really disappointed with Apple they are releasing another new size.
How much money will R&D costs just to release a new slightly bigger iPad ? I wished Apple would rerelease the 10.5 inch iPad Pro Reduce the price and make it $449. No new parts, casings, etc. just a price reduction.
If apple is releasing a new size, they should make a new 9 inch iPad Pro with the same design as the current 11 and 12.9 inch pro, small bezels, faceid, 120 hz for $599.
So confusing... the path Apple has taken. Please streamline the line-up please.
Still have two of the original 12.9 IPPs. Not seeing anything here that makes us want to upgrade. My pencil does its job 3+ years later along with batteries for all devices. My son’s iPad Air 2 still works and holds a good charge 4 years later with daily use of about 4-6 hours. They used to build these things like tanks. Nowadays, I seriously have doubts.
Agree......Everytime they release new sizes, the apps have to be re-formatted for the new size.....some of us with the 11 inch ipad pro still are waiting for certain apps and games to fill the entire screen.
This can’t be serious.
If it is, I’m glad I don’t live in your world where I would get so worked up over something that’s comparatively inconsequential to my daily routine or average life events.
If it isn’t, points for ... style I guess. Massive points lost for beating around the bush though
The 10.5” does support USB 3, like the 12.9” Pro (the 9.7” Pro only has USB 2).
Whatever the issue is that’s causing your slow syncing, it isn’t necessarily going to be solved by Apple switching from 5Gbps USB 3 over Lightning to 5Gbps USB 3 using a USB-C connector.
You missed the part when I said I would be keeping an eye out for a refurb 2019 iPad Pro. They’ll be out end of this year to beginning of next year. Perfect time for me. Actually don’t need to replace my iPad Pro for at least another year.
Uhm, you forgot the 9.7 and the 10.5. Now if you are a regular guy looking for a tablet, having 5 different screen sizes and iPads with similar and overlapping internals this is confusing.
Depending on what is offered, I might be interested in a mini. The last iPad I had was the Air.
