Whats the new features? More emojis and hit and miss cloud features?
Edit: Nope, not even that, it’s just thinner and forces you to buy a newer peripheral. Can’t innovate anymore my ass.
everyone talking about the iPad and I’m just sad the pencil is still powered.
Give me a passive stylus like a wacom and I’ll buy any tablet.
Can someone explain to me what the benefit of this chip in an iPad is? Are people doing heavy workloads on iPads? Can the OS even utilize all the advantages?
Some image and video processing workflows can make use of them today, and today’s announced video software features seem to be a roadmap for how iPads could be used in more computationally intensive workflows: editing, re-encoding, and sharing video between devices or to specific apps.
Some AI inference tasks could theoretically make heavier use of the CPUs, too.
The benefit is that Apple are making the chips and want to use the chips in as many products as they can. It doesn’t matter that the software is nowhere near the hardware, the chips are bought and paid for, so they’ll use them.
New iPad Pro only works with the new Apple Pencil Pro. Which is the same price as the 2nd Gen.
So anyone with a current Pro and a 2nd gen pencil needs to upgrade both. That’s insane.
Now if that isn’t the shadiest Cook move I don’t know what is. What’s next? Do I need a special Remote Pro with the new Apple TV? Are we really doing “Pro only” accessories?? Is that where we are these days???
All 4 Apple pencils still being sold as of writing this. Yes even the first gen that’s nearly 10 years old. And despite 3 others available.
So much for tight Apple product lines.
And, I think, the keyboard. So if you have a current iPad Pro and want the better quality keyboard and trackpad, you have to upgrade your otherwise still more than capable iPad.
It’s fucking diabolical.
Yes, if you want to use a trackpad designed for specific tablets, you must buy one of these tablets. That’s outrageous!
I know it’s their own press release and this happens with all sorts of companies, but their choice of “stunning” disgusts me
