I’m sorry but not even the actors in the promo video in this announcement can sell the idea that video editing on a touch device is a good idea. No professional video editor will use Final Cut on the iPad. It’s horribly ineffcient.

It feels like Apple has no idea what to do with the iPad Pro. The product hasn’t evolved at all since 2018.

Wow, huge. Can’t wait to try Logic Pro. The iPad is a fantastic device for music making in many ways with lots of amazing apps, but I’ve never been happy with any of the “full fat” DAW options. Hopefully Apple have nailed the usability and flexibility - $49/year is a reasonable price to pay in my mind if so.

Their idea is: add a mouse and keyboard option

Dunno - touch devices are already very popular for music editing and production. No reason they shouldn’t be for video too.

Have you seen the magic keyboard accessory? With the trackpad and keyboard?

100% this.

I have an iPad Pro. If I want to plug it into a projector via USBC or a Dock I must ALSO connect a Bluetooth speaker device as the iPad will not allow use the internal speakers on the iPad while connected to an external _display_ fucking madness.

The iPad is no longer touch-only. Since Apple added support for pencil, mouse/trackpad and brought out more keyboards, the iPad is a multi-model input device.
