I am more than ready to update my ipad 4, but really, missing Christmas? We face yet another two quarters of doom and gloom of declining ipad sales before a new ipad. Seems someone might have been too busy involving themselves in politics to approve urgent R&D projects.
Hey, you're probably right, he must have forgotten to call LG to order the new screens. How do you manage to be so brilliant? You should be Tim's right hand man,
I think Apple needs to invest in some serious money into a brace of apps that do good photo editing (like pixelmator) drawing art apps, and office. Make them seamless with photoshop, office etc. Make it effortless to print and transfer large files.
I don't think Apple themselves needs to do that (or wants to do that). For example, Affinity is going to release an iOS version of Affinity Photo that contains all of the same features and functionality as the desktop version. That's a very well regarded Photoshop alternative, and I think it's actually more healthy for software development in general (and also users) if you have viable alternatives to what Adobe produces.
"Also reiterating previous rumors, Barclays claims that the 9.7-inch iPad Pro will not be a premium model, despite it's "pro" nomenclature, and be "low-cost" sold aside the 7.9-inch iPad mini. If the reports are accurate, the iPad mini will not see improvements in early 2017, despite some earlier rumors from October suggesting otherwise."
I have to admit, I'm not sure I like this. The iPad Mini is still on the A8, while the current iDevices are all A10, or going to A10. If the A8 had native hardware support for HEVC, then I wouldn't have such an issue. Since it doesn't, I feel that they need to, at the very least, upgrade it to the A9, (preferably a better more comprehensive update) so that they are seeding the field with HEVC ready devices, for when they roll out HEVC/4K iTunes.
The current 9.7" Pro only has the 16 nm A9X and limited 2GB RAM! Wish they double it to 4GB, to future proof it like the 12.9" size! That the major weakness in the smaller size Pro iPad! I might return it for that!

And it would be nice to use Pencil with it too.
