Too funny, I have been saying for the last 9 years where I work that we are paperless. The carpet walkers have even donned us so. When ever a provider orders an exam, it must come from EMR, not a paper copy. Everytime we enter anything into the patients medical records, it's always electronic.
Yet........We use more paper now than we did 11 years ago. We use so much damn paper, that I think they must be planting tree's just for us.
That is being worked on
Will charge in minutes and batteries won't die a slow death anymore (doesn't hold significant less power after x cycles)
They published that paper last year about this time
I have no idea how long it will take to go to town with this
A few years, I guess
If we are lucky 5?
They even showed a video of how they drilled through the batterie with an electric drill and nothing bad happens (no more exploding/burning telephones in our pockets/houses)

The point was that Apple cares about professionals, not that the devices are aimed at professionals. Somehow the fact that these are mass consumer devices, and everyone should see this as obvious, still continues to elude some people. No, they are NOT made for professionals. Because of the power of the devices, people use them for professional applications, and Apple does not simply ignore that market. That market receives the attention it gets based on numbers and, arguably, Apple caters to more esoteric desires than they really need to. And unless we know Apple's longer term vision for a technology, we don't know how they intend for changes to ultimately impact the more professional uses of the devices. It's also silly to conclude that, because Apple is doing away with 3.5 jack, they're trying to pull in some money selling alternatives. If they needed some extra revenue, they could simply raise prices and not have to deal with all this whining about headphones.
I have been staying on the sidelines hereabouts, just waiting for the time to go by, but the battery thing (for me) is and has been the new mousetrap...
I always have to laugh when apple talks about all day battery life
And then you look at the specs and they mean 10 h
Then I say well days must be awfully short in sunny California.
My day has 24h,
I could life with 18h of battery but 10h isn't enough if you are anyhow like me.
That's a thing that would be easy to fix, double the thickness and give me double the battery time.
All childish I want I want I want besides
I think the iOS hardware is ok,
But iOS is the problem.
if you are looking from the iPad perspective on it.
I had hopes they may kill the MacBook Air and just replace it with the iPad Pro with iOS for iPads or something.
Microsoft needs to lower their prices to put pressure on Apple so they step up their game. I have a feeling nothing like that will happen if they are not under market pressure.
I don't need to be able to run Mathematica on the iPad and I don't want to,
But for us creatives Photoshop and logic on iPad would be like gods (Buddhas, Allahs, Maneki-neko, Or whatever you believe in) finger from the sky pointing on the iPad.
Apple needs to hear this daily from us.
I can never make up my mind if you actually think you are smarter than everyone else, and have to explain the obvious to all us thick folk, or if you just have an unfortunate patronising and condescending way of expressing yourself.
Either way, while always keen to read and discuss the other fellows view, I'm really not in need of your enlightenment, and know what I think.
Now imagine it with a Lightning cable. With respect I think you missed the joke.
^^
That's the breakout cable for a BlackMagic Design Decklink - the Extreme or Studio, can't remember. It's like that because the product itself is a PCIe card. It's not a parallel port, just a huge cannon-D connector on the card end. The small one is not so much an RS-232, rather, a Sony video tape deck serial connector for remote control of the deck by the card and Media Express software.
I cound not read the full thread (too long), but I confirm that for me it is a big loss... I always use the headphone jack to make music (which means I'm plugged in several hours a day lol) and I think it will be a reall pain in the ass for me to loose the possibility to continue making music when my iPad's battery is empty now that we'll have to choose between pluging the audio interface (line6 on my side) or the charging cable in the lighting interface... Bad moove for me...
I would not feel the same if they had annouced that the headphone jack was actually replaced by a lightning port (i.e. having 2 ligthning port on the iPad)... My concern is about the fact that we go from 2 ports (jack+lighting) to a single port... That's a shame IMO !
>
Actually, two lighting ports plus a free adapter for 3.5mm would be good news. If only Apple listened to such good ideas.
Yes in agreement. A single do all port is not a good idea. If that idea is taken forward and applied to iPads and laptops, I see this as a precedent that needs halting. Apple have already shown a leaning towards this approach with the 12" MacBook.
Yes, I expect the usual arguments from those that can not see the problems of this approach. People are expressing that the real problem is one of expectation. Yet there are still many of us that cannot afford a new device every year or two. There are many of us that believe these devices should last longer than a year or two at their cost.
I expect my laptops to last for more than two years. Most I have had five years before replacing. Not due to complete failure, but due to inability to run modern software. iPads are now entering into the same cost bracket as a decent laptop. Apple themselves are expressing how iPads can replace much of the need for a laptop. Are my expectations of a product having the same length of use as a laptop unrealistic? I don't think so.
Now in reality many iPads do last a decent amount of time. One area where they do have problems is the extended wear of sockets. I say extended, because while my laptops have many sockets and multiple options for some usage, iPads do not. So reducing all ports to one single use socket is likely to reduce the average time that the device is usable.
To those that say my expectation of devices that can cost nearly £1000 is too high, well let's just agree that you obviously have more money to burn. Lucky you
Slightly off topic, but still relevant.
I was looking for a better quality lightning cable, yet have now decided against such a purchase. My reasoning is that while the standard Apple cables are of low quality materials as far as lasting is concerned, they put less strain from movement on the lightning socket than a thicker cable is likely to do. Obviously the cost of new cables (while not cheap for what they are), is a lot less than having the lightning socket repaired.
Yep, port wear is my worry as my phone one's knackered from just charging use.
Guy in the Apple Store told me you'll get about 4 hours use from fully charged earpods, and obviously that will go down over time to a couple of hours.
From a practical and ecological perspective I'd say that was a fail.
The Lightning cables from Apple are really not good, I had to tape all of mine, they always break at the point after the plug where it's only the thin cable...

Just looked up the iPad Pro 12" model with 256gb storage and bugger-all in the box except for charging cable and adaptor is now almost £1,030.00. The nearest Microsoft Surface Pro 4, with 256gb storage, plus keyboard and pencil is almost £945. Less is more, I don't think so.
Yes and the cost of them is just rude for how weak they are.
At least Apple don't make inkjet ink.
Are there any good aftermarket solutions?
I asked the same question here only a few days ago. Yes, there are some great and much better value aftermarket solutions. The problem is that it's weighing up how strong you want your cable. The strength usually comes at the cost of some rigidity. While they still bend, often you find they don't bend as easily and as a consequence, put more pressure on the socket itself.
Ooof. 4 hours. That's lemon juice on the salt.
That's progress, 2016 style: 'making things slightly worse for more money'
4 hours, that's sad. I listen to 4 hours of music on a bad day. Granted not all on earbuds, but on a plane ride, or in the car, could do it easily.
And that's from new....like any battery it'll lose charge quicker the more you use them.
You can already do that with a battery case. You're complaining about things that aren't, by your own standards, problems.
And.........4 hours of use, with a 4 hour charge time? or.......Doesn't seem optimal/efficient. Wonder if the batteries will ever blow up? That might hurt a bit. They using lithium-ion?
Wait until they release the full headset battery life will increase and they'll stay in place, hope they name them on honour of Tim Cook & Co. 'The AirHeads'
I'm with the people that doesn't care the 3.5mm jack it's gone.
This post by the developer of ferrite, Hokusai and mitosynth express really well why these whole thing has been blown way out of proportion while acknowledging some people might have real concerns.

Another thing. Does anyone actually knows how good/bad the latency from the apple airpods actually is?
As far as i know it's a proprietary solution and not just usual Bluetooth. Not a lot of people make music with their iPad/iPhone but millions of people play games, minimal audio latency it's as equally important to some game's experience. I imagine apple thought about that, people that will buy the airpods will expect them to work with games. Maybe it's not as good as 10ms or less but it might be better than usual Bluetooth and it will improve with time.
