5 year old PC hardware could get by with maybe a RAM and SSD upgrade.

 

[SuperSah]

throwing shade at old PC users

 

[CronoShot]

Are they honestly saying the iPad Pro can replace a Windows PC

Seriously

 

[Deleted member 17706]

"Over 5 years old"

That San Franciscan tech elitism...

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

So it's just the 9.7 inch iPad Pro, not the iPad Pro Mini. Or the iPad Pro That's The Same SIze As the Regular iPad

"It's our most popular size"

Yes, since it's been out twice as long as the iPad Mini.

 

[jufonuk]

Apple are going nuts I swear

iPad
iPad Mini
iPad Air
iPad Pro

now a smaller iPad Pro..

Jesus get your products and product names in order

Learn from Nintendo.. cos they are doomed.

the new ipad pro how much memory would it have? I honestly wouldn't mind one

 

[Guevara]

I'm surprised by the iWatch price drop, I guess? $299 should get those things selling.

 

[Chittagong]

Magic trick - call iPad Air 3 a iPad Pro and charge $100 more, genius!

 

[harSon]

...

 

[Mr Swine]

I've been on this iOS 9.3 beta for days with my iPhone 5 and still don't know how to make night shift work. There is not even an option in display settings.

Doesn't work on iPhone 5 sadly

 

[digdug2k]

Its weird that a company who's laptops sell because they last a long time is making fun of people who's pc's have lasted a long time.

 

[samn]

Lots of people can't afford new PCs every year, Phil.

 

[SaganIsGOAT]

Not available on iPhone 5.

😰
😰

 

[jaina]

Hey I'm typing this from a 5 year old Macbook Air!

What a stupid thing to say. 5 year old hardware is still bonkers for Office.

 

[Anth0ny]

price drop on the big ass ipad pro pls ; _ ;

 

[Fliesen]

So the iPad Air line is dead, right?

iPad pro and iPad Mini.

"Air" stands for thin-ness. iPads are super thin now, the 'Air' branding has outlived its value.
Pro -> supports stylus
Mini -> small form factor.

 

[AdanVC]

I've always wanted to try the apple pencil but how the fuck I'm gonna pay 99$ for a pencil??????? a pencil????

 

[ekim]

My next work phone will be an iPhone SE. Kinda annoyed that Apple still considers 16GB acceptable as the base storage size.

The 64 GB SKU is at 499 which is a good enough price for the HW used in the SE and considering its apple.

My iPad Air 2 has 16GB and it's enough for me.

 

[Purkake4]

Those poor peasants with their PCs. SMH

 

[NoblesseOblige]

It's sad people are using a 5+ year old device? I guess when you adapted the Apple mindset of refreshing every other year then that makes sense.

 

[entremet]

Apple are going nuts I swear

iPad
iPad Mini
iPad Air
iPad Pro

now a smaller iPad Pro..

Jesus get your products and product names in order

I remember their mean and leaner product lines.

I think they will consolidate a few in the coming years.

 

[Kibbles]

Lmao nobody is replacing their PCs with a tablet with mobileOS

 

[Pineapple]

Apple, I love you, but the iPad is most certainly not a replacement for a PC...

 

[HUELEN10]

It's sad people are using a 5+ year old device?

That was me prior to my Retina 5K iMac!

 

[kiguel182]

Apple really needs to figure out their naming scheme. They have too many products right now and too many lines right now.

 

[ShaoranWright]

Hey! My pc is over 5 years old, fuck you Phil!

 

[POWERSPHERE]

600 million PCs are over 5 years old.

Makes me jealous of PC users as my 2011 MacBook lays dead

 

[mcarlie]

How exactly is the iPad Pro a better replacement for a Windows PC than a OSX device?

 

[claude.labonte]

nooooo I want an iPad pro mini sir please

 

[brochiller]

HAHAHA.. plebs.

 

[JrBaconCheeseburger]

Phil really does a good job.

Best in the bunch by far.

Hey! My pc is over 5 years old, fuck you Phil!

Ha Ha Ha

 

[BBQMan]

Are they honestly saying the iPad Pro can replace a Windows PC

Seriously

Yes, this is Apple we are talking about they live in their own bubble. Jesus how many fluffers in the audience?

 

[nikos]

I've been on this iOS 9.3 beta for days with my iPhone 5 and still don't know how to make night shift work. There is not even an option in display settings.

Night Shift is only supported on devices with 64bit CPU architecture, which is why it's not available on the iPhone 5.

 

[Kysen]

All i'm seeing here is iteration and not much at that. Just making whats already available smaller.

 

[Megabat]

Apple craftsmen blaming the tools

 

[Fliesen]

i might have switched to iPad mini for my next iPad. But apple pencil support would be a super neat thing to have.

 

[WaffleTaco]

Go tell that to older people who have used PCs all their life and have no need to replace their PC.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Those poor peasants with their PCs. SMH

Hahaha! These poor 200M peasants using 5 year old 9.7" iPads. Y'all people need to upgrade to this new one!

 

[Sarye]

I'm using an 8 year old macbook pro *flexes*

 

[freenudemacusers]

Wait, what was the ipad that was announced with the apple pen and whatev...the ipad pro?

they're already releasing another iteration?

damn time flies.

Seems very fast to me as well; maybe they got a lot of corp/consumer feedback about the pen functioning on a smaller device, and are pulling functionality across all of them.

Hopefully this means iOS 10 boosts the productivity capability of these; it's not bad now but needs a lot of TLC to get to a proper laptop replacement tier.

 

[icespide]

I've always wanted to try the apple pencil but how the fuck I'm gonna pay 99$ for a pencil??????? a pencil????

you know it's not an actual pencil right?

 

[TheCarrotKiller]

Wow, 40% less reflective of an ipad Air 2 and a lot brighter as well!

 

[Owari]

How exactly is the iPad Pro a better replacement for a Windows PC than a OSX device?

Because OS X is bloated and awful now.

 

[Netherscourge]

I'm guessing a Mini-iMac is coming up next.

 

[The Albatross]

Crowd is like a Trump rally.

"600 million PCs that are over 5 years old"

"BOOOOOO!"

"New nylon wrist watch!"

"YAAYAYYAYAHAHAHAHAHHAHYAYYAYYA"

 

[dLMN8R]

Apple shocked at the idea of a 6-year-old PC still working well for people.

The fact that Windows 10 runs better on many 6-year-old PCs than Windows 7 probably confuses Apple.

 

[entremet]

Lmao nobody is replacing their PCs with a tablet with mobileOS

Old people. Happens all the time.

My grandma's laptop has been collecting dust since we got her an iPad. All she does is Facebook and games, so it works for her.

 

[Guess Who]

Brightest and least reflective tablet display is nice.

Also, sweet, P3 color gamut. Nice increase over the sRGB of other iPads.

 

[friskykillface]

hmmmm I have a ipad air 1 and should upgrade

 

[HighResTomato]

Your perfectly capable 5 year old PC is sad, so buy an $800 tablet and stop being sad.
