[TheRealAlex]

What Apple can do ? Let’s get crazy For iPad Pro 2020

#1. Nano-texture Matte display since the Nano texture anti glare from the $8,000 XDR Display is actually Under the glass, it won’t affect Apple Pencil.
#2. Thunderbolt 3
#3. 6GB RAM standard.
#4. Dual Rear cameras
#5. WiFi 6 (the iPhone 11 Pro has it)
#6. A13X CPU
#7. New GPU
#8. 7nm+ battery savings more energy efficient
#9. UFS 3.0 storage
#10. Thicker by 2mm bigger battery and rigid aluminum

New Apple Keyboard and Mouse foldout Case. With built in TouchPad. Using New SmartConnector

The Mac is already on a 2-year cycle for some products.

Or like 6 years for the Mac Pro

The weakest aspect of the iPad is the writing surface. The pencil is really great, but we are still writing on a slippery glass surface. The biggest improvement Apple could make would be to make the experience of writing on an iPad more like writing on paper.

Only issue there would be how it'd affect use with finger.

I hope for smaller bezel

It'll be a long while before I get another iPad Pro. The 2018 12.9 version is still a beast of a machine.

Confusing rumours say both that there's a Spring time refresh bringing triple ToF cameras (also I recall a rumour these will still be using the A12X) and also that there's a mini LED model coming at the end of the year. I guess it's possible but unusual for a sub-12 month refresh interval given it's been a pretty steady ~16 month cycle to now. Possibly the late year model will sit above the Spring ones at a price and performance/ features premium.

I am pretty sure, you're wrong about this (text in bold).

Okay, but where does it say it's under the glass?

If Apple doesn't think they have enough features to justify an iPad Pro update, they just might string it out to 2 years. It's not like it's facing any real competition in the mobile tablet front, and I don't mind waiting a little longer and getting the A14X chip over the A13X.

Though I suspect Apple might just slap on a new processor, camera and screen and call it a day.

some are on 5 year cycles!

Yeah nobody cares about camera on an iPad. Only 1 in 1000 (dumb) tourist you occasionally see taking pics with an iPad. I wish Apple focused on other things for next iPad Pro release.

Forget about tourists and consumers. The camera on an iPad allows professionals to save time for several different types of tasks.

Perhaps you don’t care about this feature, but you are not qualified to speak for everyone.

So people who use these devices differently from you are dumb?

It is great to place a quick reference in an illustration app, to get materials or colors in Adobe Capture, to scan documents and there will be even more uses with AR. It’s not only for Instagram pictures of food (though, nothing wrong with using it for that, too).

People don’t get how useful the camera can be.

Apple specifically states you can clean the regular XDR screen with a regular microfibre cloth, but you should NOT do that with the etched glass, which suggests to me the etching is not under the glass. Just as importantly though, according to reviews, the etching also decreases viewing angle.

You don't want that on your iPad Pro.

Oh, I only glimpsed over it. I'm surprised they didn't mention that it is/isn't under the glass.

Not to mention that it's the same camera that's on the iPhone XR.

I do my note taking in Notability and it's awesome being able to quickly take a photo of the slides and insert it into the pdf document, then write my own notes on the side.

Once, for a school event, I video'ed my principal giving an interview on my iPad, then edited it directly using a green screen app.

In class, there's this app called Plickers which lets you scan your students' response (based on how they hold a preprinted card) and consolidate them in real time. The iPad consolidates the need for a laptop and a smartphone (phone to scan their responses, laptop to display them on the projector).

When I attend meetings, we sometimes have to scan this QR code to redirect us to this website.

Anything you use your smartphone camera for, an iPad can do as well, and you get the benefit of a larger screen to work with.
