I would love to change the title of this thread to "Complainers Have to Complain".
Apple was very much in a "damned no matter what direction you go" with this.
If the 9.7 Pro was exactly the same as the 12.9 Pro, then people would complain because there's no new features. If they put new features in, people would complain that their 12.9 Pro is out of date. If they lower any specs, then people would complain that Apple is crippling the 9.7. If they made it an update to the Pro, people would be outraged there's no Pencil support.
Really, there's no way Apple could release a product without SOMEbody complaining. Oh yeah, and people are STILL hung up on "Pro".
Sum it up?
