Not on the timeline for the current decade:

I think the table is outdated. iMac do not come in these sizes unfortunately. Other sources suggest that MBP sells equally much as the Air. The iPad Air will get the OLED display when it is cheap enough. No clue when that happens. It can be three or five years or never.

It could in 2028, who knows.

What is wrong is that the iPad Pro is actually 11.1", but that could be just a clerical error.

I'm interested in what the silver iPad would look look like with the space black Magic Keyboard, but don't have the time (or the skills) to do a mock-up. if anyone can, I'd be most grateful!

I went with Space Black for my 13" I got the big iPad I am hoping black is slimming and won't be too distracting when I use it in public ;)

I actually wanted to get silver iPad and black Magic Keyboard but they changed the camera array from glossy black to match the colour of the body.

So I’ve gone black iPad black keyboard. I actually like the silver and white keyboard but what I don‘t like is the exterior shell being white. I’d have much preferred silver exterior as well.

Anybody can comment on how space black holds up on other apple products? I think the color looks great, really concerned about the durability of that color.

Silver. Just feels classic and right. I believe anything space gray/black tends to always be popular (hence the premium pricing on the black Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad, etc.) but I just think silver lets me know it’s Apple.

Silver all the way. I am dead tired of Apple's space blacks and grays. They all just look gray to my eyes.

Not only does the silver iPad Pro look awesome, but I far prefer the look of the silver Magic Keyboard versus black one as well.

Normally I‘m a silver guy and I had also ordered the silver one at first too, but after looking at quite a few videos the white keys on the magic keyboard irked me too much. I cancelled and went space black, it looks much sleeker and more like a MacBook IMO. It‘s a bit of an experiment for me to see how the chipping and scratching will be over the years. If it‘s bad I will know for future products and will likely return to the trusted silver for the next upgrade.

Red and purple do not go with "Pro." The same reason there are no multi-color MacBook Pros. They stick to "business" colors for the expensive Pro models.
Apple did offer a “Rose Gold” iPad Pro before.

SB IPad Pro 11” & 13”. Waiting for Nomad to come out with back only leather cases, don’t like MK because I don’t want to get used to keys and trackpad. Just Pencil and touch.

Yeah tbh I'm not sure about the white keys on the keyboard, but I'm not sure getting a silver iPad and a black keyboard would look very good.

I went for the the SB Magic Keyboard and SB iPad Pro for this reason. Ideally I would have liked a silver iPad Pro and a silver magic keyboard, but with black keys (like a silver MacBook).

Almost consider the Pro because of the SpaceBlack instead of the Air 😂
Tempting, but I don't need it.

Space Black, like it seems the majority of votes from the poll.

I’ve got a MacBook Pro M3 in the black, iPhone max 15 in Black Titanium

Got the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID touchpad and mouse in black. (Max studio in Silver)

If not buying the magic keyboard in white, silver would be fine

Maybe because l’m old, but the white keyboards keys over my years of use, just got yellowish after while and that sticks in my mind, having to clean them regularly. That was my staff usage, not mine, l kept mine clean 👍

Just my opinion.
