Agreed. I normally wouldn’t subscribe to News+ but to have that, Fitness and even Arcade for a few extra bucks over what I’m currently paying is a no-brainer.

The Air is so insane, it makes me wonder what they are going to do with the Pro model.

No matter which one you get the iPad is becoming one of the best buy’s you can get in technology.

The new iPads kept Touch ID, just in a new location. That's interesting.

Looks similar to the rumors for the new iPhone design, too.

I will probably cave on the Apple One premium tier since I love News Plus. It will be a tough switch from Spotify to Apple Music though.
Watch series 6 seems cool but not enough to upgrade from he series 5.

still debating between getting ipad minis for my kids or the new 8th gen ipads. the latter seems like the better value, but i'd prefer them to have something small they can carry around

I'm in for the Series 6 or sure. Finally time to jump on this Apple Watch train.

That Apple Watch SE seems like a pretty good package.

Probably going to get one for my son this year or next with the Family Setup option. Just need to figure out how cellular pricing works with my carrier.

Do you need an iPhone to use the smart watch?

Yes. Well, you need at least one iPhone, but what changed is that you can now set up multiple "Family" watches to that single device.

Trust me, they can carry around a regular sized iPad. My 3 year old kid has no problems with it when we allow him time to use ours.

No usb-c on the iPad seems stupid

I’m looking forward to the Apple One stuff more than anything else. My wife’s OG Apple Watch broke about 8 weeks ago but I told her we should wait. Looks like that was the smart move since the new watches are great and good price/performance ratio.Fitness+ looks nuts

yeah i'm not saying they can't. my 6yo uses my first gen ipad air without issue, i just like the form factor better in the mini since they're lighter and easier to carry. i would be getting one for my 4yo son as well. i'm comparing the current ipad mini (5th gen) to the new ipad (8th gen) and the latter is cheaper, bigger, has same processor, a bigger resolution but less ppi, no anti reflective coating on the screen, and a worse camera. But comparing these two, it makes sense just to get the bigger one. I just wish the mini was a bit cheaper.

i think he meant the new ipad, not the new ipad air.

I thought the same thing at first, but they didn't. You would think it would be cheaper to remove a whole part and use the same one across as many devices as possible.

Honestly one of the best devices I've owned. I've tried FItbits, Android Wear, Garmin... None of them offer a good middle of the road product that does smart watch features while also doing activity tracking well. In the case of Android, it does none of it well at all.
You won't regret it, I suspect.

I understand completely. The mini is actually one of my favorite designs but the value just isn’t there anymore (not sure if there ever was). We still have an OG mini that is slower than molasses but I can’t bring myself to buy a new one because the larger ones are just better.

Sure, but they also added features to the watch and haven't increased the price since Series 4.
