Hmmm. Most people I know who own iPads have had them end up as rather expensive children's toys.

#12Is that all? Is there anything else, like laptops or desktops?
Was there an event?
Re: iPad 9.7‑inch
#13I'd almost hoped they would have released a refreshed Macbook Pro range. I realise they are unlikely to recognise the joy and immense pleasure working on a MBP has brought me over the years, with the previous MBP being the pinnacle. Sadly I see the current MBP as something I will not be buying and will more than likely move back to a high end windows laptop.
I don't think we'll get a new MBP until Intel release the new chipset with support for more than 16 GB of low profile RAM, so probably not before the autumn.

#14Throw in old leftover components from a generation ago and call in NEW!! Apple, do better than this. This is not how you answer critics, and the market, who are starting to question your products relevance.
Well going from iPad to iPad Air back to iPad is a bit disappointing. They should have pushed to hit the 299 dollar mark for the physiological impact. Did notice the Mini is a 128g device where the larger iPad is a 32g. The iPad market is just to fragmented.
The oddity is why is it as thick as the previous generation and where did the laminated screen go? Is that no longer needed or cost cutting?

You should give the new MBP a try (the version without the touchbar, of course). It's the best laptop I've ever used by a long shot.
Most complaints about the newest one are that it's slower, palms keep activating the larger track pad while typing, and of course the lack of memory.
Most people who enjoy the touch bar are video designers rather than devs etc who use a lot of function keys.

My gut feeling is that this will be coming pretty soon – probably when the appropriate Intel chipset is available. I understand and share the skepticism about purchasing one at the moment, but I'm holding off on thinking about a platform switch until it's clearer where the high-end Apple line is going.

Mine's not a children's toy, but it's almost useless now. Once they stop updating iOS for a device, it's pretty much game over. Many apps have stopped working due to the developers making mistakes and publishing incompatible updates. Just about the only app I can still use is NetFlix.
