A top of the range Rolls Royce has limited value but still sells and makes profits. Value is subjective. The iPad Pro is aimed for people with high disposable incomes that would drop $3000 without thinking twice. It does not make it bad value for them. Anyway the base iPad 10 and iPad Air are the models for the average consumers. Denigrating the iPad Pro because 99% of us cannot afford it is very narrow-minded. We need great tech like this even at these extreme prices as their features will eventually end up on cheaper models.

It's a mass market product. iPads are not just bought by very rich people it's a very common item for the masses.

This video is a bit of an exaggeration, I purchased the new 13 inch and while it is an upgrade, it’s a very small one. My 2020 iPad screen was broken and honestly, I would be sending one this back,since that let down. If my other one wasn’t broken would be back. You literally have to have the screens right next to each other to see the small difference. My new one just came in today and I was kind of expecting to be blown away but it’s really no different at all than my 2020 iPad Pro. If you’re thinking about upgrading and don’t have to, I just don’t see the point. Oh and the new speakers built-in, kind of suck. I think it has to do with the fact that they’re trying to make it so thin, but there is a noticeable drop in speaker quality that hit me right away.

The 6th and 5th were both 1.5lbs while the 4th was 1.41lbs. The 3rd gen was still 1.39lbs. This new model is only 1.28lbs!

I think comparisons aren’t hugely valuable yet till WWDC and we get to see how they’ll handle the the new AI based software. Till then they are both more powerful than what they are asked to do. Mini Led is fine.

Basically, nothing much. A 2018 iPad Pro can pretty much do the same thing for much less.

😭 Look, the Tab S9 isn't bad at all. It's a great budget tablet! But just because something says "OLED!" doesn't mean it will "do all that." To start, the Tab S9 uses a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. That chip is less powerful than the iPhone processor. It's multi-core Geekbench score is around 5200 -- almost one THIRD of the performance of the iPad Pro. That OLED in there, it looks nice. But it's also only around 400-500 nits depending on the model. There's a reason Apple had to put TWO panels in here when it switched to OLED. It's not bright at all! Apple used two panels to get its 1000 nits of brightness which makes a huge difference in use. I'm just touching on those two things because those are the touted new features here, but there's a big reason that the iPad Pro is where it is. Sure, other things can have OLED but they're a far cry from this.

So, thinner for the same overpriced keyboard, a stupid fugly wart on the corner, no real benefits on battery, and the fact that software still does not use most of it. Sorry, but this does NOT replace a laptop. iPadOS sucks, sucks, sucks for professional use and that is part of the reason we only see a smattering of apps that even try to utilize the hardware. OLED is great, but again, with a iCrapOS, it is still just a toy. Oops, I should not forget, it comes in new colors. That is the piece that makes it valuable to professionals. So sick and tired of thin, light being the defacto accolades of Apple products. I would bet that the reviewer here still has a MacBook in that bag, which means it truly has NOT replaced anything. So, yes, it is nice to have it thinner and lighter, so you can still keep that laptop in the same case you carry around, rather than holding Apple's feet to the fire to actually fix the iPadOS or put the macOS on it, like it should have from day 1. But, wait... iPadOS 18 will add AI, a crap load of new emojis/animojis and that will make it worthy. Worthy of a segue to the Sponsor: Apple. I remember when Apple Journalists had the guts to call Apple out. The iPad Pro is currently a Ferrari with a V12, a $5 cheap license plate frame on the front grill (camera bump) and a 2" steering wheel and a three speed automatic transmission to actually drive it. In a month, they will add Rosanne Barr in to replace Siri and proclaim it can actually tell the time and maybe do something beyond setting a reminder and sometimes actually turning on a lightbulb.
