300 to 600EUR increase for the most basic iPad is not reflecting 25% EUR collapse.

The european price is actually better than it was last time around, which is surprising. Using Irish numbers (because I'm Irish ..) At announcement (Sept 2021), the 9th gen was $329 US, which was €280 (at the time). Plus +23% VAT gives us €345.22. The actual retail price was €399 - 15.5% higher? At announcement, the 10th gen is $449 US, which is €459. Plus +23% VAT gives us $564.75. The actual retail price is €599 -…

Apple still sells the 9th gen iPad. How much does it cost today in Ireland?

Now if we can just get Logic (with VSTs). I'd love to leave my MBP at home when I'm on the road and still be able to write music.

Full-fledged mobile DAW is one thing I'm surprised doesn't really exist. That would make so much money. I know I'm not the only person that gets sudden ideas that need to be expressed audibly before the inspiration is gone, on the go.

Apple doesn't need Europe. The region it's included in is worth 19% of Apple's business, and that region includes the Middle East, India, and Africa. Europe might be 10% of the business, maybe a bit more, maybe less. Worth keeping in mind. They're quite able to wind down business in Europe if the alternative is being forced to build their devices in a way they don't want. Raising prices to match the extra cost of doi…

EMEA does not include India. And the MEA is peanuts compared to the first E when you think about money available to spend.

Have you read any of Apple's financials?

It says right there, in every single one of Apple's quarterly and annual reports:

> Europe includes European countries, as well as India, the Middle East and Africa

It's not like they did it out of spite or greed - both the EUR and GBP have plummeted against the USD over the last year. One area they could look at though is outrageous storage premiums. The price jump between levels is now a joke.

300 to 600EUR increase for the most basic iPad is not reflecting 25% EUR collapse.

They're likely pricing in further changes. Better to assume things will get worse and price that in once, than have to reprice every few months.

Simple question here: Video files are HUGE. An iPad, even with a fairly large storage for a tablet, would be quickly swamped by the files, and to transfer the RAW video files to and from the device would make it quite frustrating. Is there a way to connect an external drive on an iPad?

The iPad Pro has faster storage than most people’s computers, and the same i/o as the Macbook Air (USB3/Thunderbolt).

It would not be swamped, no.

€450.

It's still $329 in the US, which is €336 here, or €413 after tax. So it's 9% higher than parity - better than it was (at release), but not as close as the 10th gen is.

What I tend to see in apple's european pricing is three (well, 2.5) things. One is that they're ridiculously hooked on round numbers. 413 is never going to be 413 on the sticker. And two, is that it's very rare that they change the sticker price after it's released. (Sounds silly when they've just bumped the 9th gen & ipad mini, but I'm genuinely struggling to think of any prior examples).

So the .5 is that this means their prices include what's essentially a gamble on the currency. It doesn't just reflect where the rate is now, it reflects where they think it's going. This time last week, we were paying less dollars for the 9th gen than the US was - and they've taken the unusual step of actually correcting for that. In short, the house always wins.

I just don't buy the theory that the increase is a punishment for the EU's decision on usb cables etc. The EU and US prices are aligned within roughly the same margin they're usually aligned by. It seems people don't realise how quickly a 20-something% shift in currency and a 20-something% tax rate add up (on top of the increase on the US price), and they'd rather grasp at theories than calculators.

9th gen is 339EUR in Germany (3rd party sellers).

Also, when it comes to a market, typically sellers have to adjust pricing to market conditions or they move categories. 340EUR is already cost for a premium Android tablet and iPad just started at that price.

This is "only" two of the seven modules included in the desktop version, but even just one would be a breakthrough on the iPad. The full DaVinci Resolve is nuts: it covers a complete, Hollywood-level workflow of DAM, editing, grading, sound, and VFX (with probably the most generous freemium model in existence, by a good margin). The iPad version covers one of the two edit workflows (the one more tailored to broadcast…

As long as folks don't think it's an NLE, because that's the one thing it isn't. (Even though half of its users try to use it for that, get stuck, post on the forum, and then get the other half yelling at them because "it's not an NLE". 17 and 18 took things in the right direction, but it's still going to take a few more versions before people giving it a shot because they think it's a free Premiere or After Effects…

I genuinely think you've never used an NLE, or Resolve.
