iPad Pro Safe to say that there will be no more Apple events -and no new iPad Pros - this year?

I mean - so far I hit the nail on the head 😂

Hah, nice! Yeah I figure that we may at least see an updated 16" MacBook Pro announced in this fashion another day this week. Other possibilities would be a bumped AppleTV (A12x or something to serve Apple Arcade better) and the rumored AirTag.

Honestly, I think the most value that Apple Events have is that they allow demo time for a broader range of software features on phones and other devices. For product announcements that are simpler / primarily hardware products, why not announce them like the Airpods Pro were today? They Apple media / hype machine is so massive that they don't need a 2 hour event to draw attention to their stuff.

AirPod pro just came out. I look forward to the other things coming out this week

Maybe they repeat the approach of earlier this year with releasing one product each day of a week:

Monday: AirPods Pro
Tuesday: iPad Pro
Wednesday: Mac Pro
Thursday: MacBook Pro 16

i still think they will do an event for the 16” inch MacBook, but if only screen size and keyboard is new, they would not need to acknowledge publicly during an event that the current keyboards are crap.

I mean - so far I hit the nail on the head 😂

Heh, I hope you're right, but your prediction doesn't make sense for an event for the MBP 16.

I can't help but think it will get a quiet spec bump when the Mac Pro finally releases. Will hold out till the 5th and buy from Apple to get that 2 week period. Probably will release the day after it ends haa..

Or you (unlike me) could wait an extra couple of weeks past the 5th and buy during the holiday shopping season (with a much longer return time (almost two months instead of two weeks).

In terms of the Surface Pen...

Never gelled with it (latency, squiggle lines, and just not feeling like I had control of where the lines were drawn). This, plus the lack of affordable and robust art apps like Procreate & Sketches Pro is why I've stuck with iPads.

I would love different pencil tips a la Wacom Pro 2 Pen and more pressure sensitivity (I think MS offer a set of pencil tips too, I forget). I'd also love the feel of drawing on paper. While my digital art is much better than my traditional art, that feeling is missed.

I hope the new Surface Pen is an improvement as I appreciate that MS is trying new things with their harware.

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple releases silent updates of new hardware next week as they have their earnings call and the AppleTV+ launch this Wednesday & Friday

When does this return start for UK? Is it in December or November...

Do not know. Someone from the U.K. will hopefully chime in.

After today’s Airpods Pro announcement, I would wait. Apple seem to have no problem releasing a big update/redesign to the Airpods, so my guess is the rumoured iPad Pro with processor and camera update could come this week also.

Today -AirPod Pro
Tuesday - iPad Pro and possibly the tile tracker
Wednesday - MacBook Pro
Thursday Mac Pro

 

[HerbertDerb]

I surely do hope that we will get ipad pro update tomorrow 🤞 - however, my wallet disagrees with me.

 

[kamikazeeMC]

Yeah I probably should I've come this far, though I'm an impulsive buyer.. I need to go in for another play to see if I go 12.9 or 11.

Really? To the Apple website I go!

So much good news today! iOS 13.2, iPadOS 13.2, a supposed name for Apple's upcoming tile tracker, and now everything like the iPad Pro spec bump might be coming out over the week! Ahhhh!

 

[kamikazeeMC]

Ooof AU$399 for the AirPods Pro, now for moar hardware releases!

 

[The Game 161]

If they release new air pods via press release maybe new iPad Pro’s is next as it’s not like the upgrade will be a big one.

 

[kazmac]

If they update the Pros, I may just wait for a sale.

 

[Aydy]

Would they announce a 4th generation iPP without an event though?

 

[rosyapple]

I hope there's a review soon on the AirPod Pro. I'd like to know whether the ANC is as good or better than Bose's

 

[iPadified]

The next IPP could easily be launched using a press release if it is no redesign, but only spec bump and the same camera system as in iP 11 Pro. Why bother having an event without reals novelties compared to iPhone september event?

Same goes with MBP16. Slightly larger screen, perhaps an escape button, and if we are lucky a new GPU. It is wellcome news but not rocking the boat really.

I really wish for an iPad Pro update. Just A13X, stronger chassis and 6 GB RAM across the line. I mean holiday season without new iPad Pros? 😢

 

[Flow39]

I'm holding out on buying a new Pro as well, and I really hope it's just a silent press release style update. I need this for school but I don't want to buy last year's if a new one is right around the corner (as in less than a month away).

Compared to what 700s? No way. Maybe it will be as good as the ANC in the QC35S, but doubtful.

The AirPods Pro are a better value than the original I think, but according to what people like Brownlee are saying is that the sound quality is the same as the original AirPods and the ANC is just decent.

This whole release things by surprise with Apple used to be fun. Now it’s just gotten tiresome. I wish they would just give us more official guidance as to when they’re gonna release stuff.

I used to figure they were trying to prevent cannibalization of their old products by not announcing new products. But now even the casual Apple customers in my family are saying to wait for the new product to come out before you buy anything. Because they’ve been burned before by not waiting. And then the new product doesn’t come like with this iPad Pro stuff.

From my personal observations. Not announcing stuff isn’t preserving sales of old devices any more. It’s just frustrating people having to wait on products that may not come.

I’m not saying do away with surprises like the kind Jobs used to do. But that the iPone 12 following the iPhone 11 shouldn’t be a veiled secret any more. Make the surprises real surprises. And then maybe we8d get excited over announcements of stuff like Apple TV+ instead of everyone getting their critics hat out about it.

You still celebrate Christmas when you get older. Your parents just don’t make sure you’re sleeping before they haul out all the merchandise they’ve purchased.

 

[jinnyman]

Now that we’ve come to this far, I’m pretty sure we won’t see an ipad even this year. Probably next year.

 

[The Game 161]

Maybe early 2020 seems about right

 

[delta0]

Apple TV+ released now. We know we have the Mac Pro coming as well this year. Still holding on for the iPad release as well.

There‘s no new iPad Pro coming this year anymore. Even confirmed by Apple during their earnings call.
