Take a notice: it doesn't seem to be any contact pads on the new ipad. If there is indeed no contact pads, then it's likely they had to develop some custom rf connection just to support the type-c without contact pads (usb 3.0 needs a ton of bandwidth,) and that ain't cheap.
They’re on the back.
The new MacBook Air looks really nice as well. Here's hoping we see a new 13/14" MacBook Pro in the next day or two as well. I want to upgrade from my 15" but I don't want this form factor anymore. 14" in a slightly bigger 13" form factor would be ideal.
I loved the form factor of the 2015 MacBooks. It was perfect for college and I took it everywhere. It only lasted ~2 years before the mobo failed and it longer booted up. I think there was a known heating issue with these laptops.

Sorry, Apple, but you created the greatest software/hardware ecosystem in history and then screwed the pooch so badly that you lost me as a customer and a developer.
Any ideas what you could develop with new lidar scanner?
The Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro will be available for purchase in May for $299 (US) for the 11-inch iPad Pro and $349 (US) for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro Wow. This must be one hell of a keyboard..
Nah Apple takes advantage of their walled off system. They know they have users and changing to an alternative is too difficult.
What their keyboards do offer is tighter integration. That’s not a wall, it’s more like growing enticing apples in the orchard within the garden.
Not much different than the situation with upgrades for my Volvo. The Volvo stuff is tightly integrated. OEM stuff sometimes involves compromises, like plugging things into the port and fiddling with bluetooth.

What does Apple have against the Escape key? That's a deal-breaker right there.

We can keep complaining about it in 2020, but we certainly shouldn’t suggest that Apple is pulling a U-Turn.

Can you point to a picture?
