I'm not 100% sure why people dislike the charging from the iPad so much. Why? You don't have to use it, you can use a cable. It's a backup method if the battery goes flat. Talking about whining about something that is a non-issue.
On MR forums several users seem to think Apple like to upset their customers on purpose .....
A Surface Pro is SLIGHTLY bigger than the iPad Air 2 ???
Lol, in which parallel dimension Edge is better than Safari ?
This place loves making mountains out of molehills. Even if you do use that method, you can get a LOT of usage out of just a few minutes of charge time, even if you don't get it up to full charge.
In his opinion, it is. You clearly dont agree. Thats absolutely fine. There is No "parallel dimensions" at play, anywhere with regard to a browser preference. #perspective
In my experience, it takes about 20 minutes to fully charge the pencil with my iPad once I get the 5% remaining popup.
I Agree, Apple dont purposeful upset customers for the sake of it.
However i think they "Need to" upset customers in order to keep offering extra gravy from base models and up..
They have already figured how to add 3D touch imo and will be on the next pro version, for sure, but they purposefully (imo) held it back on the base pro (V1) so they have a worthy, significant & "Tempting" upgrade to V2 pro and possibly air3
TBF though, apple are certainly not alone here as it is a sales/marketing strategy (bait & switch) employed by industry the world over
Everyone half competent in industrial marketing could tell you that's absolutely false. Companies release technology as soon as they think it's ready for mass production.
They want to keep customers happy and loyal, and to anticipate other companies.....
If technology is not released, is because of issues or yield consideration....
+1.
I do wonder if kids of the future will think/feel otherwise if the stylus on glass thing is their earliest memories of doodling...Can you imagine if paper and pencil felt weird to them

I think people are over selling this--i really had no adjustment time to working on tablets--I loved the different tools available, layers, etc. Its really great that digital sketching is so much more available--enjoy!
I agree. Digital sketching is fast becoming more than "just a thing" And its welcome. You cant fight progress.
I personally hope i am dead and long gone before it feels more natural, more primitive to reach for a tablet and digital pen as oposed to a biro and stray piece of paper..
I'm just an old fashioned git though
that's totally unrelated with "new technology"....
I'm not happy about 16 Gb as a base for iPhone / iPad and 32 Gb as a base for the iPad Pro too.
It should be 32 Gb and 64 Gb respectively ....
Gonzo, I will revisit when it is cheaper and also waiting on what the Air 3 brings to the table (and it will not be $799).
No need to keep pressing the point because it's naive to think that companies don't hold back technologies. The most successful companies have comprehensive multi-year plans with the goals of maximizing competitiveness, customer satisfaction, profits, and longevity.
Managing customer satisfaction involves providing enough value-add to the customers without squandering profit opportunities.
Of course it is. Apple have been/are in it for the long haul and have strategic release down to a tee and is just plain gullible to think otherwise.
Imo, Reputation, Build Quality and IOS are apples USPs...But specs (until recently?) can see them trailing behind competitors.
Brand Leaders they are, for sure, however with regard to specification they are only just "catching up"
The pro is an awesome ipad, no doubt. As is my air2. But my 2 year old Air1 has an unforgivable browsing experience with constant page reloads & poor tab managment due to the (I suspect) onboard 1GB ram.
Such a beautifully engineered device let down by the "holding back" of an extra Gig of ram...(Other manufacurers were 'at this time' delivering on 3GB)
They must have tested the browser experience, they must have known it struggled? Yet still released it to mass market. Forgive me for struggling with this decision.
But hey, if it aint broke...
Touch ID 2 probably wasn't ready by the time the production specs for the iPad Pro had to be finalized. Or maybe production yield for Touch ID 2 wasn't enough to supply both iPad Pro and the iPhone. Maybe adding Touch ID 2 increases the cost of the iPP to the point where Apple would either have to raise the price or accept too low of a profit margin.
I mean, really, it's not like holding back Touch ID 2 will give people much incentive to upgrade next year. If the iPP 2 was released next year and the only difference from this year's model was that it had Touch ID 2, would you upgrade? I wouldn't. Conversely, how many people would refrain from buying the iPP this year because it doesn't have Touch ID 2? There isn't a strategic reason for Apple to hold it back. It has to be a design/production/cost issue.
