Oooooooooooh!

So like, what's the iPad line going to look like in the fall? This is essentially just the next upgrade for what the "regular" iPad would have gotten. Is there going to still be a cheaper, gimped version called the iPad Air 3 in 6 months?

The differences are so minor that having two different versions is confusing.

Pretty cool video. Guess I'll put in a request to my manager to get an iPad Pro and then throw away this lovely desktop runnint 5 yr old Windows.

Visual Studio runs on iPad Pro, right?

Sure, but then the weird thing is that the fall iPad "Air" will be as fast or faster than this Pro, right? Are they going to start upgrading both every 6 months?

Once they clear out enough of the regular Air stock they'll discontinue it.

They didn't upgrade the iPad Air last Fall, so I don't think they'll do it this Fall, either. The Air line is finished.

They'll probably keep it around like they did for the 5s, but no actual upgrade.

Ughhh, does that mean it won't lay perfectly flat on a table? It'll be slightly tilting back and forth when you touch a corner? I mean, that's how my iPod Touch is, but it's rare that I use it on a flat surface, unlike an iPad.

The iPad pro is a joke. Not running OS X ? Get outta here. It's a big Air. And now there's a small big air.

what the gently caress is going on with the ipad? So the ipad air is dead and is replaced by a smaller version of the current ipad pro, which will also be called the ipad pro. What happens to the big rear end ipad pro?

Apple is pulling the unprecedented move of selling an iOS product in more than one size at the same time. Difficult to believe, I know.
