was it ever discussed why the iPad has an NFC chip? I don't think it can be used for NFC based apple-pay payments?

 The NFC chip found inside is only being used as a Secure Element for Apple Pay purchases in apps. It doesn't contain any NFC antennas, only the chip. It cannot be used for contactless transactions.

So the new wireless iPhone migration process isn't even mention-worthy? Says right in the 12.4 description that it introduces iPhone migration to directly transfer data from an old iPhone to a new one. 

Only the Series 3 with cellular requires an iPhone 6. The Series 3 with GPS is 5s or newer. 

Apple One Premier subscriber here. I use all 6 services, so saving $37 a month makes perfect sense. Plus I share with my parents and son, saving them money too and ensuring they have access to iCloud storage for backups so in case anything happens, I know their data is safe. Everyone has their favorites from the services offered and it costs them nothing extra to use. Definitely a valued subscription for me. 

Should’ve just said it was all AI and that no actual pianos were hurt in the making of this ad. 

Sounds like the return of the awesomely terrible Newsstand. 

This is definitely good news to me. Of all the Apple Music apps, the one on Mac is by far the one I dislike the most. I know the iOS version has its own share of issues, but the Mac one drives me crazy. With all of the issues it has, the battery consumption is the one that gets me the most. It consistently tops the list for energy impact in Activity Monitor and decimates my battery life when in use. So I'm hoping being a native app addresses that.

please lord make this true! long have I dreamed of this…

Same here! I’d love to have this. Would just make my iPad even more versatile and irreplaceable 

Whoa. Even has a 5000mAh long life camera according to the website. Look out iPhone. 

Honestly, I really like the idea of an included docking charging station that doubles as a speaker. The tablet itself is sorta underwhelming, but I’d for sure make use of a docking/charging speaker with an iPad.
