That price though.....

 

[Chad-VI]

I’m curious to see how the pencil would charge given the USB C connector. Another dongle perhaps?

I really like the colors on this new iPad though. Finally vibrant colors instead of the washed out pastel hints of colors on iPad Air/minis

Looking at this and a lot of other recent price increases on new models. I think when the M2 Macbook Pro 14"/16" comes out. There's going to be a price increase and the old model sold for the same price, with fewer upgrade options.

So, if you're holding out on buying a MBP. I think you'll be in for a rude awakening. There will be no saving money on the old model or getting more for the same amount of money on the new model.

wonder if the display is just as nice as the air 5?

 

[MathersMahmood]

Can buy an 11 inch SSamsung tablet with a pen 256 for 669 and those tablets are actually quite nice and i can drag and drop media to it. May just get that instead now.

 

[Xenobius]

What?

 

[CalMin]

I actually have one of these still laying around

It probably doesn’t work if it was left uncharged. I had two gen 1 Apple Pencils just die on me this way.

They have increased the prices of the iPad air! Before it was 549 and now its 669! Why!?

crazy. i’m in aus they were $929 for 64gb and now are $999 🤦🏽‍♂️

 

[BhaveshUK]

So this gets the camera repositioned but not the Pro? WTF.

This iPad Pro is really not much of an update. Feels more like a quality of life upgrade.

I suspect next year we’ll see a bigger update arrive — there’s rumours of a 14-inch Pro for example.

So this new folio keyboard has a row of function keys but the Magic Keyboard on my iPad Pro does not nor does it have an upgrade option…. Rigghhhhhttttt

wow yes, thank God I got mine a few months ago.. it's too much money now

So this gets the camera repositioned but not the Pro? WTF.

I was thinking the same thing. Later, it occurred to me that maybe the iPad Pro solved this problem already with its "Center Stage technology", doesn't it? As I recall, the iPad Pros even before this latest generation came out with a feature where using the ultrawide front facing camera, it's able to reposition the person in front of the camera to look as if they are centered. Perhaps the latest iPads do not have this feature but the Pros continue to have it?

This is too close to the iPad Air, what is its purpose?

 

[ericg301]

Bye home button!

Lmao at $449. I guessed $399. Damn.

9th gen - $329
10th gen - $449

GTFO.

WITHOUT a storage bump too.

 

[Ashbash75]

£500 for an iPad 🤣🤣🤣

 

[jezbd1997]

Does it have wireless charging? Not sure how it charges with no Lightning connector.

??? it has usb c

 

[Spike1999]

I'm surprised about the 64GB, I thought it would be 128GB starting.

 

[David1964]

The fine print here is highly problematic. The iPad 9 stays around at the $329 price point and this comes in at $449.

Steve must be rolling in his grave. Seriously. Just call this the iPad Performa!

This muddles badly the iPad Air's reason for existing. Or does the iPad Air muddle the iPad 10's reason for existing? Regardless, something doesn't add up.

Leave Jobs out of it.Let him rest in peace.It’s been 11 years now.Apple has moved on.

 

[Franconian]

This is too close to the iPad Air, what is its purpose?

That’s why they increased the Air price by 100 bucks now. Otherwise nobody would consider the base model.

 

[brofkand]

The Apple Pencil experience with this thing is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen Apple do.

 

[sorgo †]

Can’t wait to trade in my 9th gen for one of these babies 😍 also pretty colors 💖

 

[msackey]

Someone here mentioned Steve Jobs would be rolling in his grave.

In a sense, I think so too. Isn't the iPad line now really hard to distinguish? I get the iPad Pro, but what about iPad vs. iPad Air? Seems like it's time to sunset one of these and perhaps it should be the thick bezeled iPad?

 

[eilavid]

$449 while the old model stays at $329.

Should have expected those shenanigans, it would’ve been too good to be true otherwise.

Edit: 1gen Apple Pencil support with USB-C dongle needed? What a joke.

For the europeans the price of the 9th gen even went up by 50€

 

[Krypton Deer]

Wait, the display is still not laminated at this price?
