I will say, having USB C on my iPad is very nice. Now if only they would do it for the iPhone. After the CSAM stuff hit I switched back to Android and it's so nice to only need one cable for everything.

No keyboards featured in pictures?

USB-C on iPad Pro has been fantastic, glad to see that.

Everything looks nice, but I really don't mind these devices if I can't install my own desktop software on them. Seems nice for things like casual content consumption though

I love how everything has to be a "revolutionary breakthrough" with apple. Wow the 73rd version of the 19th variation of the ipad gets better performance. What a break though.

iPad mini features an all-screen design

half inch bezel on all sides

Removing the home button is not the same as making an all-screen design.

I have just noticed that they say “iPhone” not “the iPhone”, “the iPad”, “my iPad”. It’s as if they were talking about a person, such as “I’m using Hal”.

Quite an awkward endorsement for Android!

This is normal. E.g. cars are the same way. It's not "The Mustang" it is "Mustang".
