Looks like price increased to $449 USD? Still a good value, but a noticeable increase.

#12What on earth is a ‘liquid retina’ display?

That would actually be a bit confusing since the iPad and iPad Pro have different features, and comments in dedicated threads don't distinguish which one is being described. Would have been nice to have an omnibus thread from the beginning, but the way Apple does their press releases resulted in two threads.

iPad Pro and iPad are distinct models, so these two different discussions are not redundant.

#15They finally killed the headphone jack in the plain-jane iPad, what a shame. I'm not exactly a tablet person -- my ereader suits me just fine for reading, which is all I'd want to do on a tablet, anyway -- but why do people put up with this? I understand that phones are small, and thus "hard" to fit the jack into... but why remove it from tablets?

This is a new level of asking me to reject the evidence of my eyes and ears. I'm also not sure "completely redesigned" rings true. It looks more or less exactly like the iPad Air?

Maybe they mean that there's no notch/punch hole?

#19Can someone explain what the “completely redesigned” references? It doesn’t look different than any ipads before to me.
They designed it from scratch: rounded corners, black bezels, glossy screen, side buttons. It's pure coincidence that it looks exactly like the previous design

The edges are getting so thin that there are even 3rd party products that allow you to properly grip an iPad while drawing: http://darkboard.com/
