Anyone know the RAM total for each model? 2, 3 or 4GB?

I love they're offering 512GB storage RAM.

10.5" LTE $1178 fully tricked out with Applecare+

What about the 256GB storage option? That's why I bought my iPhone 7 Plus. I can never have enough storage space. I'm a horder.

What are Gen X and Millennials? I don't know the difference. I'm an almost 70 Baby Boomer born at the beginning of 1947. Had original Space Gray WATCH since April 2015. Now going Gold Coffee Series 2. Love being the first to die with an WATCH on my wrist.

I'm not a Professional user. But I sure do love my new 256GB Cellular Space Gray 9.7" iPad Pro. Seems like this one could be like new for many years to come. I can't imagine what could be added to make it better other than new systems each year. And I say this as someone who has been buying new iPads and new iPhones every year for the past six and eight respectively. I don't see how the hardware can get any better than now. But I do see how every older iPad owner will happily upgrade to this model. I skipped the 12.9" iPad Pro because I think it's too big. But I would welcome a new A9x or A10x mini iPad Pro this Fall. And I can see how the second 12.9" model with all the Spring 2016 9.7" improvements inside will make it a more compelling choice too.

But if all the above hardware is available by November, it's going to be dazzling new software that takes the staring role into 2017 and beyond. I mean it's always been about great software. But this 2015-2016 A9(x) 2GB platform for both iPhone and iPad really sets the stage for some amazing software breakthroughs that older hardware just couldn't support. This feels like a turning point in hardware development that makes me think my years of buying the next new model are over. In my mind perfection has been achieved on both the iPhone 6s Plus and the 9.7" iPad Pro. And I already know I'm not interested in an iPhone that has no 3.5mm analog audio jack.

I agree completely. How will we be able to keep our iPhones plugged into the wall while we use the missing analog audio port? We'll have to wait and see how our wired analog headphones will be accommodated. If they won't, then I like you will stop upgrading to the next iPhone. I find this idea of removing the 3.5mm analog audio port to be a very inexplicable change for the sake of change. There's going to need to be a keep charging from the wall at the same time we can use our wired headphones solution included with the iPhone 7 or suddenly loyal annual upgraders like us will stop upgrading. I am thoroughly satisfied with my iPhone 6s Plus' feature set. So ceasing to upgrade to the 7 won't be hard to do. In fact the effect of removing the analog audio port will be a direct cause for me to stop buying annually until they put it back in a future model.

Let’s see if you actually follow through on your threats. Talk is cheap.

I wasn't making a threat. Just my current mindset based on very little information. My use of the lightning port all the time to keep my iPhones plugged into the wall almost all the time is why I'm having trouble accepting the removal of the analog audio port. Also what about all the DJ's who need to keep their music loaded iPhones plugged into the wall while using the analog audio port connected to their mixers at the same time?

I'm just sayin' based on what little info we have so far, it seems like Apple doesn't think there are a significant number of iPhone owners who like to use both the power port and the audio port simultaneously.

I'm saying based on this premise Apple is going to need to include a male lightning to BOTH a 3.5mm analog audio female AND a female lightning port on the other side. If they do that then I would probably buy it.
