    Which is exactly the point. Apple seem to be trying to shift people from buying a traditional laptop, to buying an iPad and accessories. I have no doubt the iPad is cheaper to manufacture, and extra accessories all add profit to Apple's bottom line. Considering this, the iPad is quite simply, over priced. The Air is definitely the better buy, by a long shot. It just isn't as cool and hip as all Apple's ads try to tell you the iPad is.
    I am confused by what you are suggesting. You are correlating the iPad with the cost of an iPad Pro, which is disingenuous. If you are simply wanting a consumption device, then the iPad or maybe the iPad Air is for you. These are both substantially cheaper than the Pro. For those that want to supplant their current laptop and iPad workflow with one that is just an iPad, like what I have done, then the iPad Pro is the choice. I could either buy a 64 GB iPad Air and the best MacBook Air for 2188 CDN plus tax OR I could buy a 256 GB 12.9 iPad Pro with the pencil and magic keyboard for 2000 CDN plus tax. For me I would rather have just one device for all my needs, then two; saving me 200 dollars. This may not be for everyone, but it is definitely not over priced.
    Ipad pro 12.9 is my main go to computer now... and has been for  a while .. id say good 2 years and more (including  the previous  version)....I rarely touch my imac anymore .
    The ipad satisfies most of my graphics editing/creation. audio and video editing/creation projects.. and of course all the usual consumption and communication needs.

    I don't like it for  typing intensive jobs..... i think attaching a bulky keyboard to the tablet defeats its main purpose...  .. maybe the new keyboard will make it better? 

    No it is  not a full blow macpro power house... but its powerful enough and there is real great software out there.
    add the directness of the interface and the pencil.... its AWESOME !

    I wish they would have allowed the iPad to fold down  flat on its back on the keyboard.. ( one would not have to detach the iPad to have it in pure tablet form.
    From what i see .. the only options now are either open in keyboard mode.. or closed with screen covered.

    (But maybe its possible  and the animation just does not show that aspect.? )

  • Coronavirus prompts rise in iPad sales for remote work and education

    yojimbo007yojimbo007
    Not to trivialize but to give some perspective. CDC: “So far, the new coronavirus, dubbed COVID-19, has led to more than 75,000 illnesses and 2,000 deaths, primarily in mainland China. But that's nothing compared with the flu, also called influenza. In the U.S. alone, the flu has already caused an estimated 26 million illnesses, 250,000 hospitalizations and 14,000 deaths this season, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “

  • Why Apple's guidance correction is causing less panic versus 2019

    This editorial seems to have little to do with the question in the title of this editorial. "They became aware Apple is great". I mean, really, that is all? And no, linking to your own editorials is not a source to substantiate that. 

    The rest is just mindless fanboy venting on the bad bad media, not remotely related to Apples altered guidance or the reaction on the stock market, as is typical for DED editorials. It could have been copy pasted from any of his editorials. I mean, what has the Galaxy Z Flip to do with this current situation for example? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
     
    Oh, and if I had to answer the question in the title; there is less panic because this was expected to happen, is not happening to Apple alone and most importantly is not caused by a lack of demand as was the case last year. That last one is more reason to panic as investor. This current setback in the Chinese market and supply issues is known to be temporary.

    And you were wrong about Apple's supply chain being prepared for the coronavirus, not more so than other companies. Are you willing to admit that?
    Why so angry ?
