Honestly, I have a big fat iPad Pro, and it's great. But I kinda want a mini to be its little buddy for when it's just too obnoxiously huge. If this thing isn't a giant ripoff, might be worth it.

I dont get why they're so insistent on the cameras on ipads being a thing, I mean yeah it's cool but I would much rather they just make their ipads support logic or final cut or something more useful. I mean hell introducing 'Xbox game pass for iPad' would be huge.

The same reason I am actually kind of surprised they are changing the form factor, a huge number them are sold as part of "integrated solutions".

Been that way forever

The mini is a niche product and generally has better screen, storage and specs than the base iPad

I really like the iPad Mini. I have had a 4th gen mini since it was released. I don't have any interest in bigger ones.

I also want everyone to know I am streaming the event on my 5K iMac and running the audio to my airpods so as to not disrupt my co-workers. :capitalism:

Every single thing Apple does now is so homogenized. Just random buzzwords plugged into an algorithm. Hire some actual directors to make little three minute movies introducing your new poo poo.
You get David Lynch to show me why I need an iPad mini, you can have my $500.

Someone is about to get reamed by Apple Security/Legal on those flat edged case leaks. I don't think the wrap around display was leaked anywhere.

I'm actually glad they stuck with the current design.

That said, I don't expect any worthwhile changes that'd coax me to upgrade, like additional sensors (e.g. like Samsung's body composition and blood pressure).

tfw you're peeing next to someone in the lineup and they don't know
There were lots of reports that the flat watch had tons of production issues so that's not super surprising re: no flat watch.

Sounds like next year they'll do flat and hopefully also have some more stuff like glucose monitoring for people who want/need it.

Personally I gave my apple watch 5 to my wife, it's nice but I am now team "regular non smart watch" cuz feeling like you have to get the newer watch over and over is just horrible. And I don't need any of the health features (yet, right now)
