iPad Pro My dream March iPad Pro event

[The Game 161]

What confirmed rapid change are you referring to that recently happened inside Apple? Product related, not the fact that we all work from home or don’t work at all of course

I think for one air tags were pushed back due to covid. I think apple didn't see much point releasing them when everybody was at home so not a huge amount of point releasing them when there isn't a massive use case for them in the early stages at least.

You can make that case on YouTube certainly not on twitter. his YouTube titles can be bait but thats about it.

Certainly not on Twitter but that’s also not his point of income.

That’s what we suspect from rumours. The real insider story is of course just our guess. But I think if the product ever materialises your theory with COVID is likely the reason.

Definetely my dream as well. Won't happen though.

Oh well, happy to stick with my 2018 ipad pro until Apple decide to improve the software enough that I even need to upgrade it. Given that I'm forced to remote into a real pc to do anything productively at the moment that's probably going to be a while.

Rapid changes always happen inside companies. They’re always changing.

Definetely my dream as well. Won't happen though.

Be careful not to jinx yourself!

I think it’s at a point where people are actually beginning to go outside more often now. I can see them releasing AirTags in March due to that.

And people like certain leakers will always use that as an excuse when made up “rumors “ don’t happen. But hey, 3 out of 4 sentences will be correct. The heck with the rest.

This would likely never happen but below is my dream for the March iPad Pro event. Sadly, there is no technical barrier to do this and I would buy in a heartbeat.. c'mon Apple.

2021 iPad Pro 11"/12.9" - A14X, 6GB RAM, 5G LTE option
2021 iPad Pro Max 12.9" - M1, 8GB/16GB, 5G LTE option, Mini LED.

The Max would come bundled with Magic Keyboard 2.0 (press a button and the hinge swivels 360 degrees to use in tablet mode)
The Max would have bootcamp ability to boot iPadOS 14 or Big Sur (touchscreen disabled)

Only name it “Max” if it comes as a 15’’ or 16’’ version. Which I’d love.

It is a valid excuse in certain situations, but not always.

8GB of RAM would be great, given how expensive it is.
Would get Macbook and keep using my current iPad, due to Macbooks being cheaper with keyboard and longer battery life, if those ‘books had touchscreens.

I do see them doing similar to iPhone 12 with both iPad and MacBook.
A pro and pro Max.

iPad will never have MacOS.
March won’t be iPad, that will happen in October.

Considering the 2020 Pro was a barely warmed over revision March had better be iPad...

The March event seems to be an interesting one, especially when it comes to the iPad. The iPad Pro and iPad Mini look exciting! I think once the iPad Mini is released, I might buy it. The smaller bezels are very interesting!

iPad mini will be tempting if it is an iPad Air type design but if it’s same design as mini 5 thats rather meh to me

I would love an "iPad Pro Max" with a 15 inch screen. I have a 13 inch MacBook Pro 2020 and an 11 inch iPad Pro 2018 and I have found that I can get everything in my workflow done using just my iPad Pro (with Smart Keyboard Folio and Apple Pencil). I love the versatility of using the iPad, being able to quickly and simply attach it to the keyboard when I need it, or unattach it when I don't. For me it's the ultimate setup for both productivity and leisure, being able to use it pretty much anywhere for work or entertainment. But I want the screen real estate of a nice big 15 inch screen, and I'd get the compatible Magic Keyboard with it--and I'm willing to pay big bucks for the entire setup if Apple would actually make it!

I would also love an "iPad Pro mini". As I've had almost every iPad iteration, I've had almost every iPad mini; I use them primarily as e-readers and I'm itching for a new one that doesn't look like every single iPad mini from the very first generation! I love the look and feel and features of my iPad Pro and would love it in the mini form.

So my dream (and it will probably stay a dream) March iPad Pro event would reveal a 15 inch iPad Pro Max and an iPad Pro mini (an iPad mini with slim bezels, Face ID and flat sides/edges). Please, Apple! My Apple Card is ready and waiting!

Count me in too. Cost is no object.
