The iPad Pro is going to be available in November — 32GB for $799, 64GB for $949 and 128GB for $1,079. The $1,079 comes with Wi-Fi and cellular. The keyboard is going to cost $169 and the stylus is going to cost $99 — magic isn’t cheap. Can someone explain this absurd pricing strategy to me?
I just want someone to explain the $99 stylus. What's so special about it?

There's one in every Apple announcement thread.
One what? It's unclear what you are trying to convey with this post.
And then at the next sales-record-breaking keynote, repeat.

Exciting to see the Apple Pencil/Smart Keyboard - this appears to be very similar to the Surface Pro 3, leaving the ball in Microsoft's court for their Surface Pro 4. (Leaving aside all the differences in software)
I don't understand the allure of a "pro" iPad. Wouldn't you just want a laptop then? The keyboard is (at least for me) the fastest accurate text input device ever invented. It's the main reason I type everything instead of write it by hand.
I wish this thing existed when I was studying math in school. It's not practical to do math with a keyboard.

The iPad Pro is a beautiful machine but it's hardly going to change the issues that apple generally have with selling the iPad.
One solution could be to give Sandbox control to enterprises instead, so they could keep security high while still being offered some freedom to innovate on the platform. It's really holding a lot of interesting applications back IMO.
Until then I fear that it's not going to do much for the sales at least not quantity wise.

It's like the $80 magsafe charger. Thing probably costs $3 to manufacture and distribute, but good luck using your macbook without one. Simple price gouging, but most customers are happy to pay.
Also known as "economics".

And so it begins... the once innovative company is now playing catch up, losing a little bit of its sex appeal as it copies the bland competition.
Apples move with the pencil is more targeted at businesses, hospitals and such. Win the users at home first, convert them easily at work later, at a higher price with a better margin.
