The new Pencil is a much more premium experience for Pro iPads. The 1st Gen Pencil still is industry leading & its cheaper for regular note taking.

No argument on its premium status but it’s a stagnant step as opposed to being progressive.  I generally feel like Apple isn’t pushing hard enough for tech advances anymore - I get it but as I admitted, it also feels like a slap in the face to me having purchased all new equipment.

Can someone please explain to me why Apple would release new devices with the old tools (Apple Pencil).  I upgraded my pro and kinda feel slapped in the face by this but love the size of the mini.    

That's twice you mention who you got "slapped in the face", and for the life of me I can't fucking understand what you're referring to, since you already purchased new stuff.

So if you have the latest Pro and also would like a mini for portability you can’t share a Pencil across the devices. How ridiculous.

You really have crazy use case scenarios.

Yep, you know it's rogifan with the never-ending, fake concern-trolling and the weird-ass scenarios he conjures up to justify that trolling. How many people who use a new iPad Pro with a pencil, also have an ADDITIONAL iPad mini for "portability" that they also use the pencil with? Like, what percentage of people is this? Like 0.000001%? And it's "ridiculous" that this may not be ideal for that cross-section of maybe 4 people in the world? Ok.

Never forget, all the shits mocking and deriding the Apple Watch when it was first revealed, viciously attacking Cook and making grand assumptions of how it would be a complete failure, a "toy", and the big embarrassment in Apple's history. This was the majority opinion on this, and other Apple centric forums and tech blogs. I doubt any of these people ever had the self awareness or honesty or retract their words. 

My wife now leaves home 75% of the time without her iPhone. She uses the Apple Watch for everything including payments, unlocking/looking door, mapping, activity tracking, communication, safety, etc. She always hated carrying a phone with her in most situations, so this has been a game changer. It's an insanely impressive product in terms of overall scope, software, and hardware and perhaps is the purest distillation of what Apple's all about.

Such nonsense response for a $1000 device. Your "production standards" are too low if a bent product exceeds your standards.

Predictable that this thread would attract all the new 1st post trolls, without a fucking thing of insight to add. 

You really think the new iPad is "junk"? It's probably the most impressive product Apple has ever made. We live in an age where there's tons of assholes and trolls with nothing better to do than to obsess over anything Apple releases to try and come out with the next "gate" and proclaim that the company is finished. Even these "bent" iPads are imperceptible during actual usage, and the only people who really pretend to give a shit are those are fantasize about Apple being wiped out of existence anyway. Steve shipped alot more "junk" than this iPad. 

Everything about the Pixel 3 is trash, from the notch, to the performance, to the build, to the numerous OS bugs. Not to mention no wireless charging, no water resistance rating, etc. This is a generation or two behind the XS, and even XR, and is selling for around the same price. What happened to Google's phones being an "amazing value" vs Apple's "over-priced" devices? The XS absolutely decimates the Pixel 3 in every single spec.

Still has a 100 year old headphone jack. Curious to see if the iPad rumors come true now ...

 But no FaceID. Maybe next year...

Edit: yup. No headphone jack on the iPad Pro. Gonna be a lot of dongles hanging off that sucker ... 

In how many threads do you need to post the exact same shit? Odds are 95% of people won't have a damn thing "hanging off that sucker" You're a grotesque troll.
