    The new 9.7 inch iPad Pro is increasing the price of what was formally known as the iPad Air. The iPad Air is being replaced by this new 9.7 inch iPad Pro. In other words, the iPad Air 3 = the new 9.7 inch iPad Pro. Meaning the entry price for a new 9.7 inch iPad will now be $100 more. Making the 9.7 inch iPad more expensive is a problem for some customers just because of this increased price.
    When did Apple say the Air was being replaced by this?
    There's declining sales of the iPad, and do you believe that making 2 models of the same size is the solution to increase sales?

    It's almost like after years of watching all these FBI shows on TV with their high tech computer labs and specialists, the real FBI decided they should hire their first real computer guy and start acting all techie. 
    And I officially stop watching Quantico! BS too much FBI.
    I would stop watching but Alex, and twins Raina, and Nimah (same actress) are just too attractive.

    I don't see how increasing the price is going to revive their flagging sales, despite the new moniker this will simply be the refresh to the iPad Air 2.

    I don't expect them to lower the price and rush to the bottom, but increasing the price seems like a bad move to me.

    But hey, I'm not the CEO and I am sure they have done their research.


    This is NOT a refreshed iPadAir 2.

    1. Pencil and smart connector support
    2. Much faster CPU/GPU (at Macbook level)
    3. 4 speakers
    4. More RAM
    5. More storage
    6. Higher refresh screen

    The iPadAir2 was simply a more advanced and thinner iPad3.

    The iPad Pro line is full laptop replacement devices.  People who are buying iPad Pro's are replacing their laptops not another tablet.

    My iPad Air could never replace my laptop. This 9.7 iPad Pro will.
    It doesn't matter what it actually is, what matters is what it's going to be perceived as, and most people will see it as a refresh that costs $100 more.

    Not the case with Palo Alto. They don't sell PC/Mac/iPhone virus protection. They provide businesses with network intrusion protection and prevention for commercial enterprise applications.

    Apple will just need to pay license fees, which can't be prejudicial, meaning if others can afford the costs, it won't be a burden to Apple.  It's good to have $60 billion+ in annual cash flows.  Next problem!
    Why didn't they do that in the first place?
