    iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad, iPad mini, 7.9, 9.7, 10.5, 11, 12.9.  Laminated screen, not laminated, Apple pencil and not.  Not confusing at all.  
    Most people decide on price. The iPad is 9 years old. People who want the best iPad will get the pro. People who want just an iPad can get the 9.7 inch one. But in other markets like India, Brazil where top end iPad Pros cost a tonne of money due to tariffs ,people can get the ‘Pro’ experience by getting the iPad Mini or iPad Air.

  • Intel officials believe that ARM Macs could come as soon as 2020

    I will only buy a new MacBook once Apple puts in its own chip.There is no reason for a Mac to start at $1200 while better performing iPads are $800.

    Japan culturally have a history of well made manufacturing of items. Their cars are the most reliable and their pottery and instruments and tools are the best in the world. It’s no surprise they’d have an appreciation for the iPhone. I just wish Apple would consider brining the pricing back to something that resembles near affordable for the rest of us. And bring out a smaller phone. It’s great that Tim Cook can give all his nieces and nephews new Apple gear, with his $750M, but the average person just wants an iPhone without having to give Apple all of their money. Apple execs need a dose of the real world, and they need to prove with their actions that, “leave the world better than we’ve found it” isn’t just PR spin, but is grounded in some reality which effects people who inhabit this world which Apple is supposedly bettering.
    Apple always clearly said ,that they are making the best products they can. iPhones  start at $450 ,iPads start @ $330 iPods @ $200. It’s even affordable in India. 
    In India iPad has 37% of tablet market share.

    Yet another overpriced accessory from Apple. I hate to even think how big Apple's margin is for these things.....
    Why do you care how much the margins are ? If you don’t like the price ,don’t buy it. Fair & simple.

  • The WSJ calling the iPhone XR a failure that 'can't sell' is ludicrously mistaken

    Everyone who disagrees with the apple fanatics are always called trolls...   I currently own 10 apple products & it is no surprise that apple is in deep trouble since their focus under Cook is profits & providing tv shows, cars which clearly demonstrates they have taken their off their core customers & products...  The XR & Mac Air are the latest examples of mediocrity...  I was looking forward to buying the updated Mac Air...   I took my 2015 MacBook to the apple store to compare it...  It turned out to be a total joke...  They picked the cheapest, most unpowered processor on the market, the display is flat awful & dull & apple had the audacity to raise the price $300...   They say it's display is 300 nits, but fail to tell you the computer doesn't actually display all 300 nit, but rather something far less...   It is great for email & surfing the web...     My iMac performance has been brought to its knees by the last few operating system updates...  Even after increasing my ram 60%, Excel software & other similar software struggles mightily to work...  I have 2 ipads & again after a few software updates apple killed my oldest one & it barely works, it is now been regulated to be a book reader only...  My suggestion for any one buying any apple product is for them to review the internal specs on everymac.com to see if the update is spending thousands of dollars for a tiny incremental update...  Buyer beware!!!   What you will see is that year after year apple actual hardware updates, though highly hyped are actually very minimal as a rule...  Do I trust apple, not anymore, they overhype & overprice...  Due to all my sluggish software performance (apple calendar gives me the spinning ball several times a week, iPhoto crashes several times an hour) I have decided to give apple one more try...  I purchased a 2018 MacBook Pro 13", 16gig, i5, 500, 4 core, 500 nits screen, laptop last week & it arrived today...  This is my 4th apple laptop, if its performance fails, I am getting off apple train...  OK apple fanboys, call me a troll, all others, apple buyers beware, do your research to find the rare apple gems...

    I suggest you upgrade your older Macs with SSDs rather than increase RAM. I have a 2008 Unibody MacBook,with SSD & it runs fine & smooth, with only 3GB of ram. As for your iPads ,I suggest you wipe the old ones and set them up as new. I did this with our old iPad 2 & now it works great.
