    The A11X chip will offer more speed... like I need more speed... huh, the current iPad Pro is fast enough for everything I need.

    1) Should I let Tim Cook know they can stop making their A-series chips better? /s

    2) Don't look at it so linear. You can perceive 7.5ms vs 75ms for JS to render in Safari for iPad… and you're not suppose to, but a processor that can all its tasks faster so it can power down more quickly results in longer better life without actually requiring you to have a heavier, bulkier, device. This even helps bring down overall costs.

    Reading this on an iPad Pro w LTE and see no need and have no desire for Face ID and if it cannot be turned off the answer is no sale.
    It is proven to not be secure.
    Don’t trust anybody who gets an iPad with LTE. If you don’t know how to use your iPhone for WiFi tethering your opinion drops significantly in authority

    I love Face ID on my X, but I miss the wider bezels of iPad 3 when I’m using iPad Air 2. Ignores unintended touches my buttocks ...

    How will they do that. Will they open that up to multiple faces since it's a multi-user platform, or will it be relegated to a single user's login and only once that account is active but locked? If they do multiple faces, what will be the limit (since the number of user accounts is effectively unlimited), and how will this affect its accuracy and speed?

    What if they don't want to. What if they don't have an iPhone. I know a shitload of people who have stopped using WinPCs and Macs to make the iPad their primary computing device, and also have no need for an iPhone.

    FaceID may indeed have a few more possibilities for unlocking by someone other than the owner, but unless you have a twin, or a child with very similar bone structure / face shape, or you're someone so important that there is a distinct potential that thieves will break into your home, tie you up and force you to allow an iPad Pro FaceID to scan you - or maybe they'd just 3D scan your face so they can create an exact 3D replica of your face so they can unlock your devices at will, you're probably pretty safe using an iPad with FaceID.

    Not to mention, Apple will continue to improve on the security of FaceID to eliminate more of these potential unauthorized unlocks.

    Three Monsoon cores. This is going to be a monster. 

    It's timely that Intel also started shipping quad cores in ultrabooks, otherwise this would have far outstripped them. But in the fanless space it'll still brutalize dual core Core M.

    I can't abide by this thinking. More speed = more tools for developers, look at todays apps that have a hard time running on older SoCs, something as simple as Snapchat is trivial on an iPhone 7 and sluggish on a 5S. I'm never opposed, so long as battery life doesn't degrade.
