Me thinks some here are a little too infatuated by Apple products to be clear minded about my opinion hah.

I'm not slamming Apple so chill.

I'm simply saying reviews would be nice before orders began.

The fact that people are trying to argue against that is, well, frankly... ridiculous.
it isn’t arguing, I just wonder if you want a device to do things it doesn’t need to do. Ex. For $2500 I have an
iPad Pro 12.9”(2018),
PS5,
XboxSX,
Mac mini,

I can remote game on my PS5 or XboxSX with my iPad Pro(with the actual game controllers); gaming check. I remote into my Mac mini with my iPad Pro for everything else including my virtual windows installs; resource heavy tasks check. iPad is instantly ready when i need it, and has never left me waiting for anything; everyday computing check.

What else is left? How much faster do you need an iPad Pro to be?

Yeah I do not get this reaction against your point. I too would have liked reviews before I order. I mean, I ordered anyways, but I also checked every morning for reviews because I DO want to see pictures and updates on how Center Stage works - the apple store rep said it won't work to make it look like I'm looking at the camera properly in landscape mode, which is a big bummer and one of the updates I really wanted this year. It makes it so I don't use the iPad for video conferencing because it simply isn't properly set up for v/c in the configuration it is in 99.9% of the time for me (landscape, in the keyboard cover).
Thanks, yeah, I mean I have to admit I ordered one this morning too, but I'm a tech junkie and need my fix. Apple has me by the heart and they know it.

I'm also very curious to see how Center Stage works, I have read differing details and think it's one of more compelling justifications for the new model, albeit not something most need, I do think I could find it useful during meetings with work, etc.

Good luck with your new purchase, I hope you enjoy it! :)

Right, no I hear you... and actually, there's little reason to expect this model is going to be so much faster than the 2018 or 2020 models that the upgrade is truly necessary, even if it's say as much as 15 or 20% faster. Is this typically a problem for the general end user? The speed of the iPad Pro? I've never heard anyone say "Geeze, if it was only faster, then I'd be able to enjoy my experience" :D

I’m excited for the reviews but reality is the new m1 I ordered isn’t going to operate much differentlay then my 10.5. The big event will be the software. I’m betting big on it and went with a new 11.

Still no reviews ? this week?
Gotta give reviewers time to actually use the devices :) I think with iPhone 12 reviewers had their unboxings like 4 days after preorders opened, and then reviews like 5 days after that.
