Apple’s reveal of the new iPad Pro and iPad Air gave us a confusing mess of expensive accessories and compatibility problems, along with a tone-deaf Crush ad. Bridget Carey suggests going back to the simple Steve Jobs product matrix.

I think its a bit unrealistic to expect the builds to be the same forever, especially when noone is complaining that their competitors do it EVERY generation.

What we do want is the underlying OS that will assist users and devs to make more use of that power. If Apple to continue to kneecap the OS, then really there isn't any point getting anything other than the regular iPad model with A14 series CPU.

The iPad Air line is basically the iPad Pro SE. It's the old iPad Pro regurgitated under a different name. The Air used to be about having a lighter iPad but now it's the holder of used Pro specs. Something to charge more than the base iPad but less than the new pros. They don't need it. All they have to do is number-name the Pros and sell the previous generation next to the new ones. It works for the iPhone.

I did get the updated iPad Air, only because of the upcoming AI focus that will require more processing power for even basic tasks. I don't think having the Mac OS on it would make a difference to me. if I can run media consumption apps and social media apps. I am fine.

Held off changing for the longest i could but, this ipad 13 disappointed (mainly agreed with most of the points stated in this video). Was pondering about s10 but not sure if it would be launched 4Q 2024 or even late 2025, so I just ordered the s9. Also my ipad 12.9 just stopped charging using my GAN charger "somehow"....

Good job on this review. I have the M1 12”. Not going to upgrade and even if this one breaks I am going to purchase the older one where my accessories still work. Huge lost opportunity to make an IPad with a huge battery for those of us that use it on the go for work.

@jacob.williams 28 күн бұрын

Exactly. I’m on a 2020 Pro, and having to repurchase all the accessories is the primary factor in my not upgrading. I’ll look at refurbished M series models if anything.

They’re not telling you to buy a new device. And most smart people know apple devices last way longer that others and upgrade 2 to 3 years at the time. Just upgrade my iPhone 12. Nothing wrong with the phone. I just wanted the new spatial video option. You buy when you need it.

I can understand rolling out new versions of the Apple Pencil with new features that only work with the newest/latest iPad. What I don’t understand is the lack of backwards compatibility with prior Pencils! Just because I upgraded my iPad Pro from maybe a busted one from 3 years ago, I have to get a whole new pencil, even if I found the old one perfectly suitable for my needs?

I think you've nailed it .. at every point.I was looking forward to a brighter screen and a jump in processing .. but now I'm not going to bother AT ALL. I have a 2020 12.9 Pro (and I'd jump at a 14" or so ) but the ridiculous expense isn't worth it for me for the Pro, and the Air doesn't have a jump in the things that matter for me. So I'm giving up.

You add a second USB C Thunderbolt 4 port at the other end and you replace iPadOS with MacOS. That would be game changing. You keep the regular iPads with iPadOS.

Never happening. 🤣🤣🤣 Apple is a publicly traded company that answers to their shareholders. They're not stupid to allow iPads running MacOS to cannibalize their Macbook sales. They make more money selling two different devices that have 2 completely different target audiences instead of selling 1 device that can do it all.

Need to simplify. The line up could be: iPad Mini, iPad (standard and max) and iPad Pro (standard and max). The standard and max are same sizes across the pro and non pro, to simplify accessories. Eg standard-sized keyboard works for both pro and non-pro standard-sized iPads. Pencil and Pencil pro. Both can be magnetically charged or by using usb-c

@benjackson11111 26 күн бұрын

i had a similar idea - but the base level could be iPad mini in both a small and larger size, and that would incorporate the exisitng base level ipad $349. So that's still 3 tiers instead of Steve Job's 2, but i think it's justified

@mikewill37 28 күн бұрын

Last iPad I bought was the 2020 iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard. It’s still a great device but it’s the iOS software that lets it down and why I use my M2 Mac more over it. The iPad only gets used now when I need an extra screen and it’s actually heavier than the Mac which is ridiculous.

We have a modified version of Job's matrix nowadays except it's now Good-Better-Best e.g. iPhone - SE, Standard, Pro. To apply this to the iPad fpt's suggestion is that they need to merge the standard and the Air so it's iPad Mini, iPad, iPad Pro.

I bought a 2017 10.5-inch second-gen iPad Pro second-hand early last year, and recently had the battery replaced. I'm extremely happy with this iPad Pro, and it's still full of great technology: a six-core A10X Fusion chip, a 12-core GPU, a beautiful, fast Pro Motion screen, and a gargantuan 512 GB of storage. Touch ID also works near-flawlessly (on this iPad Pro and my gorgeous iPhone 6s Plus), so I'm a little disappointed that the Home button is now fully gone from Apple's current line-up.

Agree! I feel like I need to watch each event to understand the product lineups. Let’s go back to basics! So many sku’s of different machines is just wild. I get that people want to have choice but buyers and users should have it a bit easier once they understand their use. It’s almost like Apple has made a whole separate chart for ipads. As an owner of the first ipad pro with face ID, that thing has been so solid and when buying I had no doubt of what to buy, the hardest decision was the capacity I could afford and if I should buy the keyboard which I still haven’t. I bought a standard Mac keyboard instead. Full function, great feel, can be near or far from the ipad.

How about: * iPad - for people who needs a cheap and basic iPad for work, school or entertainment, one size, runs iPasOS * iPad Air - for people who want an iPad with more features and the Apple Pencil Pro, 3 sizes (mini, regular and Max), runs iPadOS * iPad Pro - for people who want the ultimate versatile Apple tablet-computer hybrid, 2 sizes, runs MacOS or preferably iPadProOS (which would be 70% MacOS and 30% iPadOS) I think this method would differentiate the iPad Air from the iPad Pro in a way that would make the iPad Pro worth it’s extremely high price compared to the iPad Air BTW, I was so disappointed when the event was over without the iPad mini getting some love 😢
