Bloomberg says that guests presenter were kept away from President Xi, by bodyguards who sat near him. Reportedly, the guests were served "a menu of seasonal vegetables in a champagne vinaigrette, black Angus flat iron steak and vanilla custard tart, from approaching him."

Are some words order out of article in this?

So Apple would use screen quality and potentially SoC version as the differentiators between Pro and Air?

Hmm does not seem like a very smart move to do an unforced error of cannibalising their Pro line. Do they really have that much competitive pressure? 

Maybe if they drop the small Pro iPad, make the current 12.9 the smaller Pro and launch a larger iPad Pro with an effective screen size of 16 inches to match the MacBook Pro. Go titanium for the body to reduce weight plus OLED screen and M3 and M3 Pro for the largest iPad. Make the largest IPad Pro a stealth hybrid machine positioning.

Apple uses screen quality and SoC versions to differentiate between Pro and Air all the time. Is it really a question?

I think the largest problem with the iPad lineup is that iPadOS doesn't have enough functionality to drive sales of more expensive iPads. They are trying, finally putting LP and FCP on iPadOS, but they still have to go yet further. Xcode.app and Terminal.app have to come to iPadOS, including user loading of CLI tools and libraries. Then, support for VMs. They have to go all the way, especially with VisionOS being so close to iPadOS.

Once the prices get to the $1300, $1600, $2000+ range, you really need to let users compute as freely as they can. Definitely think they need to have larger iPP displays to further differentiate from iPA10.9 and iPP12.9 models. 

$600 iPA10.9 LCD M2 8GB RAM
$800 iPA12.9 LCD M2 8GB
$1000 iPP11 OLED M3 8GB
$1500 iPP14 OLED M3 8GB?

In denying Apple's argument, the EU quotes the company's own advertising, which says — "Same Safari. Different device."

This is priceless
