Wanting to replace my 2017 iPad Pro but $1000 is sorta ouch. With keyboard you’re up to MacBook price

Yeah even will all supposed iPad OS workflow improvements over the past five years or whatever, it still feels like a severely hamstrung laptop for doing anything productive.

Well now I don’t regret buying an iPad Pro last year since they upped the price by 50% to get an oled upgrade.

I wanted to get a new pro but it appears they didn’t release an updated folio keyboard for it. I use keyboard and tablet modes 50/50 and not being able to fold the keyboard back is a huge bummer. I guess I’ll hold off now.

Tim mentioned it at least. It's still a product...

Honestly I’d spend like $400 less and get an Air if it had Pro Motion. I guess that feature is worth $400 to me, crazy. You win, Tim Apple

iPadOS holds it back. Its 2nd or 3rd tier always in getting resources or development. Ive given up trying to make the ipad work as a fulltime device.

I think Google might be on the right track with the pixel tablet firm factor. The stand with speaker plus the car with integrated stand is really nice. The device itself could be better, but it's a better use case then other tablets I've used.

yeah I watch porn on it too

I priced it out and thought the same thing, especially since iPadOS holds this thing back. Guess I'll stick with my iPad Pro 4th gen for another few years.

Only 60hz on the iPad Air right? Is it not mini-led either?
-
-
Isn't it $50? From $399 to $349 IIRC

Apple does the upgrade game so well.
"Nice - new iPad Air. $600 for 11 inch or $800? I probably will make it with a 11 inch and save $200. Hmm - only 128 Gb Storage. I should probably upgrade to 256 Gb. Hmm - now its $700. Hmm -. if I add $100 I get the 13 inch version. Just as well do it. Nice. Wait?? Now its 128 Gb storage. I need 256 Gb - lets upgrade. Hmm - now its $900".
