It is about time they got rid of the bezels! A 10.9" in same size as the current would be great. I hope that rumor is true.
Not rumored, but That also suggests a 14" screen could be put into the 12.9 form factor... very interesting.
It's an interesting time for the iPad. Sales have been on the decline for five years now, but with the new Macbook's costing as much as a liver on the black market it seems like the perfect time to actually make the iPad a pro level device.
Here's hoping for 8gb of RAM and sane file management.
I'm going to call it first, I bet we see new iPhones in the Fall too. Just guessing though.
I have a theory about Apple.
They want to get rid of Macintosh - it's aged, and increasingly uncompetitive, and would require a considerable amount of effort to update. This is why we don't have touch macs in any real mature sense. Merging macOS and iOS would also be problematic. The best option is to get people to stop buying macs, then one day there'll simply be no need to sell them any more. This can't happen suddenly, it must happen gradually almost so that nobody notices.
One thrust is to make the iPad more 'pro' (bit by bit).
The other thrust is to make the Mac itself increasingly ridiculous to want to consider buying by making it less and less powerful, capable whilst also more and more expensive and disposable through rapid obsolescence. At the moment, not many mac die-hards would want to pay for a new Mac at those prices, but many will. Keeping on removing capability, power and increasing the price is surely a message to the people to stop buying them. Soon only those who are both vapid and wealthy will persist in wanting one - ie, most of the fashion industry. At this point, making them tenfold in price will shift them into the role of jewellery, and then production and development could finally stop.
Meanwhile, the shift in development effort will go into the iOS platform, making more and more capability and power available there. This will be the true pro platform before long. The app store top selling lists will nevertheless still be dominated with games.
And they will retain the headphone jack!
I'd like to see the 9.7" Pro get 4gb.
They might even have the blue tooth head phones out by then...
I'd like to see a pro version of iOS!
This^
But Apple isn't so much concerned about what we would like to see :-(
there is no Xcode on iOS
I guess that would be a major shift
you wouldn't need macOS to write for iOS anymore
and a file System
They should split iOS between phone and iPads
Gee new mbp are fucking expensive
iPad with everything is as much as a MacBook Air
I guess Apple earns about the amount of money with iPads and macs.
Interesting to see where this goes.
I'd like to see true multitasking on iPad.
What would true multitasking be like?.
I keep seeing this from several people but it's funny that If you think about it the iPad allows for TRUE multitasking in the sense that you can actually interact with two apps at the same time (simple example: scroll through a website on safari while clicking a tweet on the twitter app at the same time not one after the other) (more complicated: I could potentially play with a piano app on one side and with launchpad on the other side, same time, no external gear involved) something impossible on a mouse environment. I think even a generic windows PC with touch can't do it as the touch it's just a mouse replacement.
I'm not that serious but I don't get what "true multitasking" means.
It's easy to understand:
Open Excel (or Numbers). Open Word (or Pages). Make a selection. Drag and drop from one to another.
Make a File browser. Select a file. Drag and drop over the icon of a compatible app. The app opens.
Open several threads of whatever app.
And so on.
That's what I miss in my daily workflow.
They will make it bazel free most likely at the cost of home button and headphone jack. They just evil like that.
I don't think we need a file system in the traditional sense. There's a lot of thrust away from that, most of the extant computer operating systems are attempting to push people away from the 'computer scientist' view of file systems and toward a more utilisation based approach where all the files exist in a 'soup' and you get to them through tagging or searching and they open in appropriate apps (which is still a problem for those that aren't computer experts - things opening in another application instead of an expected one).
For iOS I think things are good-ish, as they are, but what would help the 'pro' approach would be a kind of 'borrowing' approach whereby one app is 'allowed' to use data from another without having to duplicate the data. For games, etc, this is irrelevant, and most stuff on iPads seems to be games (going by what's in the top charts in the app store). However, for production work, you'd need one app to perhaps not only see but actually use the data that another app 'owns', and there needs to be a way that that can naturally happen. This doesn't mean go all the way back to a 'file system', it just means that there needs to be a way that apps - certain classes of apps - perhaps 'pro designated' apps - can work into and out of the space that another app in the same class owns.
Double data has to stop
That's impossible with the sandboxes
On my mac I have one folder where all the samples life and everything can access it
And I never know where my recordings are on iPad - did I record with this this or that app?
On my mac everything just lands on the desktop and I push it into the folder it belongs to afterwards
Pushing files around on iOS still is a nightmare with absurd workarounds like email, open in and cloud stuff ...
I don't want to push my data 3 times around the globe just to have it in another app on the same device, it can't get more absurd, can it?
Just save your files on the SD Card.....
And there is other stuff
Why do I need iTunes and a mac to get my stuff from an older iPad to a newer?
On my macs I just insert a FireWirecable or whatever the equivalent is now press apple and f or was it t and have a coffee.
Hello hair force one, please please please
Fix all this ish.
Itunes is the pest!
Not talking to much about a Desktop file system, but the flexibility required for professional usage. How they do that while keeping iOS' strengths is up to them, but we need external storage support. We need sandboxing getting out of the way when we need to export or import files to/from other apps and locations. We need 192kHz support, and smaller buffer sizes, and no lockdown to 512 when using MIDI. We need to be able to access our files without iTunes getting in the way. Etc, etc, etc.
My hopes were high for iOS10 when they launched the Pro. Now I understand that the "Pro" means "Plus" or "Deluxe", not professional, but it's rather disappointing they keep shipping it with a smartphone OS.
I doubt Apple even visits this forum go here...

They know all of this
They also now that search on iOS is a bad joke
4Gb RAM or I'm not biting
My mbp just died, my iPad is getting long in the tooth too
and I have absolutely no idea what to buy now,
It certainly won't be be a 2.200 € laptop.
Arrrgh
I have a feeling they don't want you to organise your stuff. It's started with media players that organise your music. I am and always will be a folder guy if I can help it but it is increasingly more difficult to find simple solutions.
Email being another example. I used to receive emails and then put them in different folders. Now it's all a fucking mess and I'm just using search but more often than not I don't find what I'm looking for.
I think the corporations are better off with confused public as they can do as they please. There has never been a better time for crowd control.
There is a way out of this.
Since lately iOS is multiuser (for education).
Just give me a superuser account with access to the filesystem ad drag and drop, let me search it and call it a day.
This wouldn't touch casual users at all, they wouldn't notice ...
It would still be the "none scary iOS experience" for everybody else.
BTW. Some of the assumptions iOS makes a completely wrong,
When I take the headphone out of the jack it mutes the sound or stops the video instead of just giving me the sound on the speakers (that's what I usually want when I do this, the scenario is stop doing music with headphones and just watch some tv with the speakers).
As long as the country of origin where Apple resides has a legal system that allows a customer to sue a company due to their own 'stupidity' iOS will remain 'sandboxed'...
Speak screen is totally fucked up in iOS 10
It was multilingual in iOS 9, and it used to work much better than now.
Now it produces just a lot of garbage.
I thought they packed so much intelligence on this.
Cough, no they didn't.
Instead they gave as Siri on the mac &_&
And speak screen is such a pro feature
It used to get me through all the walls of Text I don't want to read.
Now it tries to read me the English Steve jobs bio (in iBooks) in Russian and English websites in German.
Aaaaaargh
So much for 10.1.1
If they're trying not to sell very many, they're doing it wrong: https://www.cnet.com/news/apple-macbook-pro-sales-already-set-to-surpass-2015-macbook/
No wonder that the sell. Everybody was waiting for a new mbp. Not much happened over the last few years, so people waited.
I don't think this will hold on for long.
How many people are buying 2000 and 3000 € + laptops?
