Could be, but you could also be wrong. We need to wait for more data.
The iPad pro seems to have a lot of empty space inside... (huge speakers)

We don't know that - I obviously don't mean the exact specifications. I meant something similar 4GB of ram + A9X in some capacity.
Well it's not a fact.iOS 9 performs worse than 8.4.1 on my Mini
You know it's funny.When I type "Planned Obsolescence" the browser suggests "Apple" as its first suggestion and in the search results the entire page only has Apple.Yet fanboys continue to be in denial

Maybe pointless threads like this contribute to such nonsense on web searches? For the record, again, the concept of planned obsolescence is about controlling the ultimate cost the consumer pays for goods by making choices in manufacturing; somehow that concept got twisted into a nefarious plan by manufacturers to slyly get a consumer to continue buying a new product by deliberately breaking the product and having the consumer think it was their idea to upgrade.

Good point. Didn't think about the extra speakers. I would assume it'd be impossible to fit both the new speakers and the full powered A9X in the 9.7" form factor though and retain 10 hour battery life. The A9X will therefore have to be downclocked. If it doesn't then Apple truly botched the Pro hardware by not taking advantage of the larger form factor.Could be, but you could also be wrong. We need to wait for more data.

I would prefer a non downclocked A9x on the Air 3 and not having the new speakers
The stereo speakers are the main factor in why I'm jealous of the Pro, so in my opinion that's what would entice me to upgrade the most. That doesn't mean I'm not envious of the A9X.I would prefer a non downclocked A9x on the Air 3 and not having the new speakers
Though it's not just battery life they have to consider but thermals too. Larger and thicker body of the Pro allows greater heat dissipation. It's quite likely that Apple will make the Air 3 even thinner, judging by their history.
Apple did say that the A9X was specifically designed for the 12.9" form factor. If they could plop it in an Air without even down clocking, it would prove that they a) were lying or b) did a lousy job of it. Either way, it would be extremely embarrassing for Apple and hurt the Pro severely. A 'professional' tablet with no more performance than its consumer orientated, much cheaper, much smaller sibling - laughable.
I definitely think the Air 3's SOC will be slightly down-clocked in comparison to the Pro. That's just my educated guess.
Or some people will actually stop "whining" so much? It's not "me" that's preventing a "good" discussion it's the "fanboys". You do like your pejorative terms.
In a thread revolving around providing visual evidence, you provided none. There was nothing further to discuss.
In many cases it's more that some people over-exaggerate and take practically everything to absolutes and extremes, and basically treat anyone that doesn't simply agree as a "fanboy" (the mere fact that the term gets applied is already mare than telling usually).
That's correct I declined to take videos. But that doesn't negate the name calling. Period.
I just searched "global warming hoax" and the first page was full of results that talk about how scientists have been fabricating data about climate change. Regardless of your personal beliefs on global warming, you must concede that such deception is happening. Keep enjoying those cherries you've been picking.
The truth is, you just choose to see all the negative things about Apple products. Which is understandable, there are many other people that visit Apple websites like this one just to complain about Apple.
You bring up a great point. We all have different eyes. With these different perspectives, we choose to see what we see and, choose to believe in what we believe. that is why this is a hot topic(with tons of debate) with many of the same faces on many other threads (I'm not trying to single anyone out but, just state the facts.)
yes, how people completly ignore that is beyond me. iOS 9 is rock solid, especially compared to 7 and 8, its not even close.
I even had some person tell me that speed is more important than stability. Lmao.
stop talking nonsense.
Tell me how good ios 7 was before 7.1? You are lying if you say it was usable.
Same for ios 8 until 8.3/8.4.
iOS 9.0 beats 7.0 and 8.0 any day of the week, its not even close.
Seriously, please somehow get hold of an iDevice running 7.0 or 8.0 and come back here and let me know how great they were.
You are in denial.

Yes, because they didn't release new iPods AND iPhones every year under Steve Jobs.
Apple has stopped releasing new iPod every year since 2013.
Apple didn't know at the time.
When engineers initially worked on Snow Leopard, they spent a lot of time and effort adapting the build for both PowerPC and Intel. PowerPC builds was initially buggy and unstable, and ultimately pulled due to limited timeframe and resources.
You got 7.1 and 8.3 right. They made iOS 7 and iOS 8 usable.
I'm waiting for that bug fix/performance improvement update for iOS 9. iOS 9.2 could be a candidate.

yes, agreed, 9.2 is looking good. Once metal is polished enough I think we will see even more improvements aka similar to ElCapitan and Yosemite, I hope
I take a slightly slower/more laggy .0 version of ios 9 than ever going back to the respring, crash, freeze and general bug fest that was iOS8 and iOS7.
