I honestly don't understand why they can't fit a normal headphone jack in something that size. It's just change for change sake.
It's even more bizarre than I thought. The new Pencil doesn't work on all older iPads except the new Pro's, but also the old Pencil doesn't work on the new iPads. So if you're upgrading to the New iPads you also need to upgrade your Pencil, old model has become obsolete.
Because the plug alone is almost as thick as the entire iPad (3.5mm). You also need something to "plug into" which can't be infinitely thin, and it also has to be mechanically robust. So, unless you want the ENTIRE iPad thicker, no headphone jack will fit
(except if you went for the smaller 2.5mm jack, but then. nothing will fit without - you guessed it - a dongle
)
(another option would of course be a "headphone jack bump" analog to the camera bump, but is that really worth it?)
yep, I was curious so i checked. The thinnest iOS devices with 3.5mm headphone are 6.1mm. (iPod Touch, Mini 4, Air 2).
These new iPad Pros are 5.9mm. This doesn't prove anything... but it is possible that the lack of headphone jack allowed them to make the device thinner.
Apple had already patented a half height headphone jack back in 2015.

I think they could have fitted it in. What do you think?
Likely the bezel reduction is just as much at play, if not more so, as the thinning. When you're looking at the miniaturization required to get screen, mainboard, battery with juice to power all of that, and higher quality speakers, a traditional headphone jack is a giant monstrosity.
Well yes, I guess with a smart innovative way of maybe just putting all the contacts and holding mechanics on the sides, it is somehow doable... Apple's headphone jacks are already the most well built I've ever seen, and if someone can slim them down further, it's probably Apple
but no matter what, if you put the whole jack "sideways", then there will be virtually no resistance to up/down movement / rotation of the plug, and the slightest wrong movement might break the display then. And headphone plugs just BEG to be involuntarily used as a lever. I can fully understand Apple's decision.
They have place for camera bumps so why not the all new amazing headphone jack bump...also available in 6.3mm.
Interesting...i read that the iPad Pro 2018 seems to still have just 4GB RAM but the 1TB option has 6GB RAM..???
That’s how we roll in the West right? Work hard, play hard, die of dementia.
The West is the best...with the rest of the world not far behind.
Oh...forgot the link: https://www.macrumors.com/2018/10/30/ipad-pro-1tb-has-6gb-ram/
Lol ya, but for the same amount of cash for the new pen and keyboard cover one could get 3 Volcas![:) :)](https://forum.loopypro.com/resources/emoji/smile.png)
(That's how crazy the currency exchange rate is at the moment over here in Sweden).
For now my Air 2 has to do but my iPhone 5 will likely get replaced by an Xr once it finally gives up and no longer works... (it has started to do random shut downs so it's it doesn't have much life left).
(I am closer to getting an 128GB iPhone XR though but I think I can resist a bit longer).
That's something peculiar I hear more often. People tend to buy an expensive iPhone easier that a more expensive iPad. Maybe it's typical Dutch but I think you get more bang for your buck with a new iPad Pro.
I like my 10.5... but, in all honesty... I didn't really notice a radical change in what I could and couldn't do from my Air 2. Yes, I know the Pro is better, and I can use an Apple Pen now... but the only real difference after all of the shiny new wore off... and all the stuff I told myself to justify it wore off... was a little bigger screen and more storage. Not much else. I mess with 4k video and full resolution raw photo files. Can't say there's anything I can do now with the Pro, that I couldn't do before with the Air 2.
I know some will balk at that... and quote a bunch of specs and how much of a leap it should be... but I'm talking about actual everyday use. Anything that's really intensive... although I could do it on the Pro... I most often just do it on the desktop where I've got a much larger screen and better external storage connectivity, etc.
Read that the hard drives and ram could be user upgraded in the old mac mini. Is this true? If so, I wonder if these new mac minis will follow suite. If so, I'd likely get one with the max processor and upgrade the memory and drive later on my own with cheaper 3rd party stuff.
Yes, the world of hardware is really exciting at the moment and I bet affordable dedicated devices with touch screens will start appearing soon enough. In theory there’s no reason not to stick with current gen of iPads and delegate heavy lifting to hardware.
I know, only thing missing from the iPad's is the 'Phone.app'. I mean the new iPad Pro's support dual SIMs but no way to make regular phone calls or send text messages to add load to a pre-paid subscription when abroad, crazy...
Considering I've had the iPhone 5 since it's initial launch (ok. got free replacement 2 times due to battery issues) it's been quite 'cheap' on a yearly basis. Wonder if an XR will last that long![:) :)](https://forum.loopypro.com/resources/emoji/smile.png)
I'll be staying on my air 1 for a while more and just doing the things it does. My Adobe ink bluetooth stylus works great with goodnotes, so as much as I keep trying to tell myself a 2018 iPad and apple pencil would be great, I don't need it. I don't do any visual art at all, and air 1 still controls digital mixers just fine. I've been buying microphones and other hardware lately and don't want to sink money into electronics that won't last more than a few years at this point.
I know the feeling about that XR phone very well. It's a tempting one. I still use a simple Nokia dumb phone from years ago 🤭 Using it only for calls and getting so called TAN-codes for internet banking.
Opposite to iPhones iPads are by most people not seen as a necessity. I think most people are right except some branches where you a iPad is tool. A lot of people I know that have iPads use it only for couch surfing and on the toilet![:) :)](https://forum.loopypro.com/resources/emoji/smile.png)
This is the photo I've been waiting for, no longer does the camera bump mean you need a case for it to lie flat.
After going through the list of iPad models, I am still looking forward to more iPad generations. Hope it would develop better.
