Looks like they'll have reinvented the macbook air in two generations. Not that it's a bad thing.

#32Earlier quoted context omitted.
I would like an app that lets me map the dimensions and floor plans of an indoor space. Without really knowing a ton about lidar or the specific implementation of it in this device, I imagine that could be done? The apps that use the camera are all pretty clunky. If I could just walk around the inside of my house for a while and let it map it out, that would be nifty. (put on tin foil hat) Then the iPad can track my…
Why on Earth would you want that?
As someone currently in the progress of remodeling my home, including buying furniture for three children's rooms, this sounds awesome.

There are already apps that do that. They are useful for home appraisers, interior designers, architects. Anyone who wants to quickly map out a building. They just use the camera though so improving the accuracy with Lidar would be valuable to those professionals who already use those apps.

You’d also receive an iPad with your purchase.

#37The 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..
Well it's also a display stand, to raise the iPad Pro up (insert joke about Apple's 20K stand here). Anyone with a current Mac who's been using it for a while want to tel us how the keyboard is? I'm typing this on one of 2018 ones and it feels like I'm typing directly on a desk.

One that runs iOS and has a detachable screen, sure.

It's an Apple keyboard, just like the Apple screen stand or the Apple wheels for the Mac Pro
Why is this being downvoted? Apple does price its products as luxury items. It's part of the brand.
