Will the old smart keyboard work with the new one?

I'm going to guess not, since the form factor has changed. I'm not even sure if it uses an exposed Smart Connector anymore or an induction based connector to power the keyboard.

No headphone jack on the new Pros.

Pencil has a flat side so it doesn't roll away.

I got my first gen Pro for 800 and while it did get a fair amount of use, this one sounds so much better. My grandma been looking to upgrade her ipad so I can ask if she wants to buy my old one if she not interested in the new one.

drat that kinda sucks. I don't use the keyboard a whole lot but I do like it a lot.

Well... this is going to be an expensive month lol.

It also attaches magnetically, wireless charges and has a context-based touch sensor to change function.

New Pencil is a must buy with this thing.

If there's a UPS Store that's closer, they'll re-route and hold there as well. That's what I do.


The new pencil made this a must buy. I use my current one every day.

I’m lucky I don’t do gaming or serious graphics editing on my iPad. I can keep my storage at 64 because I’ve never used more than 20 something, and that’s with all my pics backed up on here.

If you set up a UPS My Choice account, you can set a delivery preference. Then, any time someone lists a shipment to your address, it's auto-routed to be held at the preferred location. Otherwise you enter the tracking number on the website after the item is picked up from the sender, and you can pick options for delivery.

I'm going to *guess* yes. They showed a digital camera hooked up which usually presents over USB as a storage device.

It will probably show up under the "Files.app" which is Apple's file manager.

If you don't have one, set it up today. You need to authenticate your address/account via a PIN. Which they send via USPS.

If there is ANY way that drivers become available so you can connect the new iPad Pro to a Cintiq Pro via USB-C so I can run Clip Studio Paint on both the road and at home on a bigger screen I will loving be a HUGE step closer to ditching my loving macbook pro.

Yeah I had one it was tied to my old address and holy poo poo is the My choice website a chore to navigate.

I THINK I have it set up right but we will see.

Aww geez, the new iPad Pros look excellent but the loss of the headphone jack hurts. My mk1 iPad Air is long in the tooth, has a shot battery, and I've exceeded the 32gb of storage at this point, but I have a buttload of music and synthesizer apps and it's important for me to be able to easily connect it to my mixer/output devices, etc.

There's a new Apple dongle out (and I'm sure the already existing ones from other companies aimed at new Android phones would work too) but dang, man. I use the port to plug keyboards and poo poo into it.

Also, apparently the old 10.5" iPad Pro is sticking around too.

There’s a new Smart Folio Case but there doesn’t appear to be a new Smart Cover. Does the old Smart Cover for the 10.5 fit the new 11 inch, or are there just not Smart Covers anymore?

How does a 2nd monitor work on the iPad? The OS does not really seem setup to work with a 2nd display. Can you move apps to the 2nd display instead of split screen? How does it work if the 2nd monitor isn't touch enabled?

Yeah and more upsetting is that they have no excuse for removing it. With the phones they can say it is to waterproof the device but on the iPad they are just being “brave” I guess.

Let's get drunk and kiss each other all night.
These new Pros look fantastic. The CPU specs are really drat impressive too, this is gonna have some serious legs barring some massive increase in iOS app requirements.

I had been thinking of getting an i7 based ultrabook for a while but I think the 12.9” pro is a way better choice for my use case and existing iOS app library!

Just gotta save up.. drat winter tires

I don't think any of the 3rd party/Apple previous covers and folios will work with the new Pros. The side profile is completely different and anything using the SmartConnector is out of luck as it looks like it's wireless/inductive now.

I'd be willing to bet if you check Amazon in the next couple days there will be plenty of covers that will work with the Pro. Some of them may actually be decent.

I also saw it connect to a camera, which automatically popped open the camera roll import screen, but we’ve confirmed that it will not support external storage over USB-C. (When I complained that I just want to import RAW direct to Lightroom CC and skip the camera roll, Apple pointed to a Siri Shortcut that automatically deletes photos from the camera roll after import to Lightroom. So.)

Apple missed out on the hordes of people who would have forked over an extra $500 to get a OLED display and 2% less volume because they NEED the blackest of blacks.

Probably yes but! I wouldn’t expect to get the accessories.

I’m not sure which one but it wouldn’t let me do an in store pick up because of an accessory I ordered.

They're not remotely the same and you will need different cables for each.
