It's been over 6 months hahaha. Still using the 2018 iPad Pro which still scrolls buttery smooth.
Got a tip for us?

Nothing, but it’s not a tablet and tablets are just more fun.
They won't - but I feel it's [past?] time to, with the exception of maybe AirPods, drop "Air" from the product naming convention across the board. For iPad, it would yield a 3-tier lineup: iPad mini, iPad and iPad Pro. Cleaner and more intuitive while still offering differentiation.
iPhone 17? Don't you think we should se what's in the iPhone's 15 & 16 first, and then start speculating on what's in the 17? Just a thought.
Wireless charger innovation ultra. Charge up to 1000 ipad pro at the same time:
Yay, you do not have to buy every model in every color... 🤣
That’s my debate and machine as well. It’s mostly plugged in so can live with the battery life. I would like more power for the screen multitasking though

It’s too heavy and it’s a real laptop. I want a 16” screen in a tablet format. Nothing but screen!

- Magic Keyboard 3.0 (actual edge protection / multiple TB4 ports / 3.5mm smart impedance audio out jack / secure Apple Pencil storage)
- iPadOS / macOS (Lite?)
- Final Cut Pro / Logic Pro / Xcode
- Affinity Suite / Procreate
- Blender / Octane X
- World of Warcraft / GTA6
I bought every single iPad Pro and still own the last three generations, but I'm not looking forward to a new iPad Pro whose main feature will be a new display technology I have no use for and that will only make the devices twice as expensive as before.
Good things come to those who wait.
I tried to hold onto my 2017 until next year’s anticipated hardware update, but worsening LCD bleed and my overthinking things resulted in an M1 from the refurb store a few weeks ago— a nice upgrade for me—which will prevent me from having to check the rumors daily and mentally camping out in line for the update from now until whenever your awesome new iPad is launched.
I had no hardware problems with my '16, but then early last year I got a replacement unit as part of "battery service" - they just take your whole device and give you one somebody returned or that was never sold. Overall it's been a pretty amazing ride but I think it's got its final iPadOS update so the clock is ticking.
I would be more interested in M-powered iPad Mini or at least one with 8GB of RAM.
That was a lucky battery service. You’re still mentally camping out in line for the new model launch, but your buddies brought a tent, food, and some cold beer.
Headphone jacks should become the new pro feature. Using Final Cut or Logic with wired headphones would be better.
WHAT? 48GB of RAM is way too much on an iPad. All of this would mean it would need to be thicker. And a fan. Oh no, what if iPads started sounding like Intel macs!
