The Air is now thicker and heavier than the Pro, which defeats the entire purpose of the Air.  The Air was meant to be the thinner and lighter model, as it once was.  But all iPads run the same OS and apps so the base model runs everything equally well compared to the Pro or Air.  

Will it be a live keynote, or another awful cringe-worthy video?  Maybe they will be apologizing for Apple Intelligence instead of trying to push out more half-baked features.  They already blundered with Siri, unless they try and do damage control and more promises of features that won't be ready with iOS 19.

I miss the days when Apple released new software and the features they previewed at WWDC were actually in the release version.  Instead all we get are 'coming soon' and then 'maybe next year'.  I stopped watching the videos because they were nothing more than reading press releases and spec sheets.

Mike is right.  The M1 iPad Air is a far better iPad than the A16 iPad 11, hands down.  The M1 outperforms the A16 and both iPads are essentially the same device, but the Air has the laminated display, the iPad doesn't.  The Air supports the Pencil 2, the iPad 11 doesn't.  Buying refurb is essentially a brand new iPad with new outer case and new battery.  The iPad 11 should have been an M1, or even an M2, not an outdated A16.

So now the lead of one failed product is taking over another failed product?  What could possibly go wrong?

Vision Pro has been a complete failure for Apple.  Overpriced.  No developers.  No one cares about AR.  It doesn't solve any problem.  Walk into an Apple Store and no one pays attention to them.  For decades, no one has cared about AR because they don't want goggles on their head.  Just like no one wanted to wear 3D glasses to watch TV and 3D TVs are non-existent.  So why would anyone spend $3500 for a heavy pair of goggles on their head?

And now this guy is going to fix Siri?  The same Siri that Apple has pretty much abandoned for the past 14 years?  Gets things wrong constantly and it is inconsistent on the Mac, iPhone, AppleTV and the speaker.  Good luck with that.

Apple Intelligence has been a huge disappointment so far.  Siri still makes constant mistakes on simple dictation for a text message.  Siri, do you want me to send this?  NO!

Based on many reviews so far, only AI development really screams on the M3 Ultra.  Most other tasks are faster on the M4 Max.  Which is odd...spending $2,000 more gets you a slower Mac, depending on what you are doing.  So the M3 Ultra is only good for very specific tasks.
