New Apple iPad Pro revealed

[Nefertiti]

$1079 + $169 + $99 = $1347 = R18477

R20,000 or more when it arrives in SA.

yea, then I thought it would be better to get my hands on a Surface rather until I saw the prices... ouchies. The exchange rate is really hitting us

This could be really cool for graphic artists, I would really like to see that Apple pencil in action for this type of use.

You know that Wacom and Samsung have had tablets for artists for years already?

Wow. Another stunning innovation from Apple. A two-in-one tablet with clip-on keyboard, pen support. This company just keeps on innovating.

No, they just happen to have a viable currency - can't blame Apple for SA's woes.

you mean R1400 at the current exchange rate

But yea, as per Apple pricing i think its pricey. Would like to see the ipad and stylus in action to see if its worth it.

Sure, but this looks a lot nicer than anything from those stables and has the Apple ecosystem natively on the device. Then again I am not in this market, so no first hand experience.

So its a macbook air without the keyboard ?

Except it is IOS :wtf: so no thanks... macbook air will be a better bet then

That's what I was hoping...but sadly not.

The Surface 4 is going to blow it out of the water.

It will be an interesting testament to Apple's marketing if they manage to ship boatloads of these. I fear they might be a bit niche but I was originally against the iPad and now have used the same one almost daily for 4 years.

This will hugely depend on the targeted market and the unique market outlay regionally. In SA the general acceptance is slow and we have a strong loyalty towards brands. Then we also need to consider the tanking Rand which needs to regain strength. In the US/Canada (North America), UK and Europe, the industry had made leaps at iOS as an enterprise solution to implement logistics, POS, warehousing etc., this will sell, and the high-end model is still a niche though.

In fact, Apple claims the Pro is 80% faster than portable PCs shipped in the last six months, while graphics will be “console-class”

They should stop insulting consoles

Not really.

No Apple user was going to buy that anyway.

And if they don't fix that silly stylus attachment loop I'm definitely out.


But where does the Apple Stylus go when not being used? I missed that part of the presentation.

Not really? Does not comprehend. How is this better than a surface tablet?

As for where the stylus goes...behind your ear.

Nope it'll be the customary place, the "iholster", aka their butts!

Oh-no-he-di'n't!
Yay! It's Friday!
