The person who decided to make this scroll sideways instead of down when you scroll down, and not to scroll sideways when you scroll sideways should be put in stocks in the town square.

Maybe you didn't get the memo, but it's actually an early release of the 'new' way scroll. Scrolling 1.0 = normal scrolling Scrolling 2.0 = left/right up/down directions are inverted respectively Scrolling 3.0 = left/right scrolling only, via up/down gestures (use left/right gestures at your peril)

Courage.

It's locked me up twice now.

I just wish Apple would put the internals of the iPad Pro into the Apple TV and bundle it with a decent controller. The gaming potential is massive, and they even compared it to the Xbox One during the keynote. They are squandering a massive market opportunity - I just can't work out why.

I’m enjoying plenty of gaming on my Apple TV, so unless we are talking hardcore AAA titles, there is plenty to keep yourself entertained. It is a far less frustrating game console to use than PS/XBox. It’s actually really nice. I bought a controller for $50 to play Minecraft. It’s not bundled (that’s a good thing).

Well, good thing you got your Minecraft in time, because they're dropping support for the Apple TV.

"The new Liquid Retina display goes from edge to edge" I've never owned an iPad, perhaps I'm missing something here. How does the above statement reconcile with the pictures I see on the page where there's clearly a black bezel? Do they just mean there's not an area at the bottom with a physical button?

Yeah pretty much. The bezels are smaller than on current ipads, but yeah "edge to edge" is definitely a stretch.

You mean a "lie." Calling a notched iPhone "all-screen" is a bit of a stretch. This is just straight upfalse.

I'm curious whether you can actually import RAW photos into this iPad. According to [1], importing huge (42 Megapixel) RAW files into the last gen iPad Pro was pretty much unusable. I can definitely see myself making this my travel laptop, replacing my 2013 Macbook Air if I could connect my camera, import all of my photos for the day, maybe do some light editing and then export them to an external hard drive. [1] htt…

Yes, on IOS 12 I regularly import very large RAW photos on my first generation iPad Pro. The RAW importing workflow is finally as good as the JPG, meaning it actually processes RAW in iOS photos. I'll also add that in some ways, such as editing levels, the iPad and my phone seem faster than a MacBook Pro. Whether this boils down to specialized hardware, more efficient software or something else I do not know. I'll al…

Unfortunately all the windows and mac versions of Adobe applications are extremely slow and bloated. Using Draw on the first gen iPad Pro to draw a portrait or something works extremely well and then saving that and importing it onto Illustrator on the mac is a tragedy, for example.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

MacBooks _will_ transition to Apple's own chips at some point. My guess is that the A14 or A15 generation will be fast and powerful enough to make the leap. This will be big especially if they can get major price or power usage advantages.

Arguably they are already powerful enough to make the leap in at least some cases, that said Apple does not push Macs in the same quantities as iOS devices as to justify wholly new silicon for the line. I have been in an argument with a friend for the past year or so about precisely when (or if) Apple will rip Intel out and use their own silicon. I think they will, but I'm going to try to present his argument to the…

I don't disagree, but I do want to point out that they did release an X variant of the A series with the new iPads.

I had to go and see what all the scrolling fuss was about.

That sideways scroll is so irritating, and just when you (hopefully) start getting used to it, it starts scrolling down. :facepalm:

Am I the only one who actually like to have an edge on my devices so they dont break by looking at them? At least if there is a metal edge it can take some of the force and you have a chance of not breaking the screen. I dont understand why metal is bad and glass is somehow good? Also, I need to grab my ipad, move it around, spin it, grab it with the other hand etc. I see the edges / bezel's as very useful in these c…
