Geez, making fun of people with 5-year old PCs and calling it sad. Bit of a 1st world disposable consumerist lifestyle mindset.

it looks like they moved the home button to the side on that shot.

Yeah, but only for that shot. It was a little bit of an optical illusion and I was almost upset that they changed what the layout was.

So the presentation is like 95% the same as the fall one where they introduced the Pro, just now it's 10 inches.

I mean, I know I expected that, but it's weird seeing it now and there's like, no new stuff.

I'm always surprised that people take photos with their iPad. I mean, I know my mom does, but does anyone born in the last two generations?

As long as it's not out in public, it's not too embarrassing. The large display really lets you frame up nicely.

Not liking the $150 price jump over the base model.
I would have been fine with a 64gb at $599.

So like, what's the iPad line going to look like in the fall? This is essentially just the next upgrade for what the "regular" iPad would have gotten. Is there going to still be a cheaper, gimped version called the iPad Air 3 in 6 months?

The differences are so minor that having two different versions is confusing.

stay tuned?

Sure, but then the weird thing is that the fall iPad "Air" will be as fast or faster than this Pro, right? Are they going to start upgrading both every 6 months?

Can't get over the camera wart on the new iPad Pro. I'm loll'n.

Ughhh, does that mean it won't lay perfectly flat on a table? It'll be slightly tilting back and forth when you touch a corner? I mean, that's how my iPod Touch is, but it's rare that I use it on a flat surface, unlike an iPad.

what the gently caress is going on with the ipad? So the ipad air is dead and is replaced by a smaller version of the current ipad pro, which will also be called the ipad pro. What happens to the big rear end ipad pro?

I hate how it just bumped all the prices up even though it's the natural progression for the regular iPad. It's this fake-rear end premium that's tacked on because it's called "Pro." Plus, there's no 64gb option and the 32gb is just too small for me nowadays. The 128gb price at $749 is painful to me.

I had wanted to upgrade from my Air 1 64gb model and pass it down the line to my mom who deals with using an iPad 2 still, but that price is just looming over me.

I'll stop talking about camera warts, I promise, but...

Does the full size pro have a protruding camera too? I've never seen one in person.

I just cant get over the fact that for a product they expect one to draw on, with it flat on a table, that it'd have a protruding camera to make it wobble. I guess they need "something" to upgrade in a years time.

I just checked through image search. Nope, the larger Pro has a flush camera. Yikes. So... Wobblegate 2016 in regards to the 10 incher.
