But as soon as Best Buy gets the order button for that M4 big boy Pro, I am smashing that button

Best believe it won’t, as there wouldn’t be any logical sense for Apple to do so. The ultra wide lens’s use case on iPad is likely extremely niche, whereas on the iPhone it offers actual utility, consistently. When I’m out shooting with just my phone (which is becoming rarer now), I regularly use the ultra wide to take advantage of macro mode for interesting, unorthodox shots.
Apple getting rid of it would negate a large part of the Pro iPhones’ allure for people.

What do you use it for primarily or do you just want to play with the m4 ?

They’ve been fantastic for a long time imo, I’ve had 2 iPad Pro already, they’re amazing for art. I nearly ordered a new one again now but it’s $3k where I’m at when combined with Apple Pencil Pro and the 1TB version

My IPad is always what I take along when we travel and I play a decent amount of silly mobile games none of which needs the power of that M4, I am just a total sucker for new gadgets if I am being honest

It could be marketed as a Pro Mini and be priced appropriately. There's a market for it.

Ah the memories. One could say “At least he married her”, but likely not the same person, not the same thread, and would be too big of a derail

Naughty Dog's games takes place on Bermuda Triangle [DoomBringer...NO!]
looks like the camera designer of Prince of Persia series has joind ND and hes working on the camera system for this game: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Untitled_Naughty_Dog_Project I liked the camera in Jak, but I dont mind any changes if its gonna help the game experience :)...
Yes, 1,000 nits on a full brightness white screen is impressive. Most big panel OLED handle half that on a good day.

For about 5 minutes before it throttles and drains the battery of the $1K tablet hehe.
Still, looking forward to their tech presentation to see if the ray tracing core got further improvements. The M3 GPU seemed to have state of the art RT capabilities (BVH navigation in HW, rays / shader instructions reordering to minimise divergence, etc…).

M3 GPU cores were Level 3.5 or full blown level 4 (I think they are firmly level 4 from their tech talks, but I would prefer more opinions on this
).

Completly agree! I just mean if they ship it with lower spec display features it would be a disaster

For anyone knocking Apple prices, right now I have 3 laptops open and the oldest one is a MacBook M1 which was cheaper at launch than these Windows ones and it is so much faster, quieter, clearer, I could go on and on about the advantages. People look at the prices in a vacuum and start dissing Apple customers. It's insulting and makes you look kinda stupid.

Just bought the new 11 inch Pro to replace my aging 2020 model. A little disappointed that the base model only features half the RAM and only 3 performance cores.

I love my iPad Air and use it more than other devices with the exception of my phone. I just bought my granddaughter an M3 MacBook air. I was thinking about getting one myself for my next laptop but I might opt to go with the new13" iPad Pro instead.
I know people like to shit on Apple for pricing but I spent...
$700 iPad air
$200 Magic Keyboard (which is freaking awesome)
$130 Apple pencil 2.0
Like I said, I use it more than any other device I have purchased.

Most users who do any large data work have external storage devices for that. Many apps are very light in terms of data requirements. I have been using 256 GB iPad Pro 12.9" since 2020/2021 IIRC? I forget the exact date, but I have not come close to filling up half of it. Music is all cloud based these days thanks to Apple Music and the few albums I really want to listen to that I may not have access to if I enter low data areas, I can download temporarily.
Videos/Shows/Movies are alls treaming for me, whether it be via my personal PLEX server, or other places.
Art-wise, I usually only have 2-3 things ongoing at once and I can quickly upload that to an SD card. Not much of a reason to keep it on the device at all times.
Notes, Excel Files, etc - don't take up much space. I also don't really use the device to game either. The few times I do, I usually just connect to my PC at home via a streaming set up to play some retro games. This is very, very rare though. Pretty much will be a non-issue as soon as Retroarch releases an app on the AppStore officially.

Still got an iPad pro 2nd gen that has never felt like it's slowed down to this day.
Appreciate the tech going into these things but I'm just part of the user base that will never benefit from it.

Its definitely nice to see though. I don't feel like I *need* to upgrade with every device. Benefits users who want to upgrade once every 4-7 years a lot more.
I am tempted to upgrade this go around though. The updates to the screen are very nice as are the pencil/magic keyboard. I can trade in and get a pretty nice chunk taken off for the lower end storage version, but since I don't need so much storage to begin with - it is not an issue.
My biggest issue is just the OS. It is far too restrictive for productive work flows.

The Air 2 was the king for many years. Even up through the fourth gen, the Air 2 was still overall superior. The laminated screen on that thing was absolutely perfect.
You just couldn't resist putting your complete ignorance out there for everyone to see, archived for the rest of our civilization's existence.

Ignoring the price, the amount of storage is fine. Your documents, photos, videos, and music are stored in the cloud. What else would you put on your device? It's just all apps. I have 128GB and 90GB is used on lossless audio ripped from my music CDs (rather extravagant). I've never come close to running out of space. Even my magazines and comic files are streamed from a server. I have the 200GB family iCloud plan and it holds three people's worth of data and backups (multiple devices, even).

Mine's an S8. Yeah.....it is just perfect. I pop it on the treadmill or exercise bike to watch youtube or shows during my workout. Awesome speakers too. Love it.

3 P-cores is an odd config, I know there was the A8X years ago with 3 cores but not recently. I hope that means they're binning the 4 P-Core chips for M4 Macs.
iPadOS still feels incredibly limiting to me, and I don't see that becoming a world different at WWDC, but I'd be excited for this chip in a MacBook Pro.
Doesn't look like a major GPU gain year which makes sense since M3 was just rearchitected and there's no more node density to work with for this, decent CPU gains at least if you get the 4 P, and big ANE gains.

It's pretty good with emulators too and gaming in general although I don't really use it for that. All around really solid.
Lately has been great to me by allowing me to watch the NBA playoffs in bed while the wife watches netflix

Yep, higher brightness is good to have on tablets, since the use case of outside utilization is much greater.
I travel with iPad quite often and it’s nice to sit in a cafe, grab some lunch and be able to see in the sunlight.
Edit: Tempted to pick up the 13” M4 with 1TB but man, that price just bites. And I do have 11” M2.

Movies, videos for editing, games. Basically when you are traveling it’s useful to have extra storage. Yea, you can use OTG USB for some of it but it’s clunkier.

Screen still looks pretty nice. My main issue is it's not very big, less than 10 inches. I'll replace it with the 13 or bigger if they have them. Also it's the last thing in my house that uses the Lightning port.
Looks like they did not put the Magsafe charging on these new ones.
