Please, yes, dynamic island instead of notch, make sense and be consistent.
Over-power and over-spec the iPad, while telling us with straight faces that 8gb (with shared video memory) is plenty for a 2024 Mac.Could we see this over powered and over spec‘d IPad flop if the price is too high!
The biggest problem is that for plenty of people 8GB is enough. Especially if their restart or turn off their Macs periodically.Over-power and over-spec the iPad, while telling us with straight faces that 8gb (with shared video memory) is plenty for a 2024 Mac.
Tim, what is the narrative today? Or doesn't it matter as long as the profits are good?
iPad Pro should focus less on 5mm thickness, and more on adding more ports such as SD Card and MagSafe 3 from Mac laptops, to make the device more "pro".
they've already put a notch on macbooks and they don't even have face id. of course they'll put one on the ipad pro. i like to use ipad (when i had one) in portrait a lot of the time so it seems weird to have a notch on the side but i guess most people use it in landscape.That notch in the iPad Pro mock up is UGLY as F! Why ruin the first OLED iPad like that??? As an artist who uses their iPad Pro professionally, I don’t want this. Leave the notches an dynamic islands for iPhones!
Imagine letting Tim Cook live rent-free in your head.Oh boy, I can hardly contain my excitement as Apple prepares to unveil its latest line of overpriced gadgets that no one really needs. But hey, at least we'll get to see Tim Cook's signature awkward smile once again, right? And maybe, just maybe, he'll finally figure out how to make a product that people actually want to buy instead of just throwing more money at shiny things. Bring on the hype!
Yes. batch processing 40MP+ Raws in Lightroom, especially once Adobe gives it the Denoise AI features.Is there anyone who would even need the M4 chip today or anytime in the near future?

It massively needs more IO. Massively. Getting data to work through the keyboard's USB-C port would be a start. Trying to use iPad Pro as any kind of useful computer replacement leaves your setup looking like a giant dongle island with a small iPad attached. Lack of even just a simple headphone jack is a total clown show. What's a computer indeed. If only they knew the answer 🤡
To each their own but for me the iPad is more exciting than Macs. Only apple product that allows pen, touch and keyboard input which makes it very versatile.Boring. Booooooorrrring. Boring.
The iPad is a toy. Sure, it has a few niche applications like filling out forms in doctors' offices, but for the most part its only value is playing solitaire and reading the news while taking a dump. For it to have any real value, Apple would need to allow macOS on it. It's not like it's not powerful enough now, but Apple's idiotic control fetish makes it mostly worthless.
I guess Apple never wanted to tip toe into windows 8 OS scenario. They purposely want people to recognize the touch gesture interface is preferable for handheld tablets and the laptops/desktops use the mouse/touchpad/keyboard interface which is always present on devices you setup on some surface.Boring. Booooooorrrring. Boring.

I always felt that using the various devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac) gave you more freedom then trying to expect too much from each. It also adds redundancy if you encounter issues, especially if the power goes off.Why try? Just get a computer.
I see what you did there 🙂Apple revenue is down... iPad revenue is down... multi-tasking on iPadOS is forever lacking... iPads gather dust on shelves... To me, that says Apple would be nuts to raise prices. But we'll see.
I could see a price increase if the new iPads are the most advanced, most amazing iPads Apple has ever introduced, but those aren't words that Tim Cook throws around lightly.
This article was interesting and presented some explanation on why the event in 3 days rather then WWDCDon't see anything that applies to my use cases. Hope WWDC is better.
Apple has been criticized by commentators over the past few weeks for three things. First, iPads have not been selling well. Second: While the Vision Pro introduced a new product category that may grow over time, its initial launch didn't sell that well. Lastly, Apple is perceived by many as way, way behind on generative AI tech, which is already transforming other companies. There have also been rumors that Microsoft might announce a new silicon that will be fiercely competitive with Apple Silicon for AI tasks, and Microsoft's chips could be announced at a planned event between May 7 and the start of WWDC.
Given all that, our best guess is that Apple wants to focus its messaging—and the time window for that messaging—on the right targets without muddying the message by trying to address everything at once.
In a way this May 7th event is a stagger step to marketing WWDC news, Apple able to show some things, generate interest, and then allow WWDC to present a lot more details to heighten interest.Talking about the iPad's challenges while also preempting Microsoft with a new chip announcement could be Apple's focus for this event. Getting those things out of the way now would allow WWDC and its new operating system announcements to focus heavily on AI, which is the bigger question the company is looking to answer.
