there are rumors there will be a 12.9" ipad air as well? that would be aweome, cause my 2018 ipad pro is getting a bit old as well...
I actually have 2 M1 Pros and besides the absolutely gorgeous screen they are a complete waste from a productivity standpoint. All that power and nothing to do with it.
I find the Surface even with the limits of Arms Windows to be a much more practical machine in that form factor.

I am currently using a first generation iPad Pro, so, what, 2016 model? Im going to get one of these new lads and hope my mind is blown
My 11" 2018 Pro bought on release was doing great until July last year, where I accidentally dropped it while using the bathroom at like, 2AM. It's actually still doing pretty great -- just has a horribly cracked screen, held together by a matte screen protector. The screen protector also helps to keep jagged edges from slicing my fingers and glass shards from popping out 😄
Likely going to replace it with one of the new Pros coming this year.
I was so disappointed that only the 12.9 got mini LED, but otherwise my 11" M1 has been an incredibly good purchase. I think I will get the oled if the price increase isn't too insane.
This would've been mine... for a much lower price that is. I was actually waiting for an OLED iPad before to upgrade from my 10.5" 2017 Pro. But I kind of moved on from tablets though. I never realized until now I just wanted the power and openness of Mac OS on a laptop (M series chip fixed these laptops for me). If they ever put Mac OS on an iPad (able to run both), it'll be mine, but until then, it's just too limited.
That's a lot of people's dreams there, including mine. I think if they ever pull it off, it'll be one of their most popular products they have other than the iPhone. Dang it Apple, do that and I'll give you my money ASAP.
Do you really want a 15" iPad? Or a MacBook with a touch screen?
Absolutely for the giant iPad. I'd even go as far as a 16 inch, like my MacBook.
I have the 12.9" with magic keyboard and so almost everythign on it - we have a 'family' MBA but only use that if I want to hook up to a monitor or sometimes use Excel or word with a bit more granularity. But 95% of stuff is done on my ipad. if I want to knock up an image quickly I prefer procreate and lumafusion for little video edits over a mouse driven approach. Although thats only casual nonsense.
a lot of the use is totally casual though - a lot of media consumption so the larger screen would be very welcome.
I'm also guilty when using my work macbook air of unconciously reaching out to press a button :)
I just c
This. I couldn't fathom spending that much for a device with iPadOS.

Plenty of productive things to do with the power of a M1 chip, like sculpting and rendering on nomad sculpt like I'm doing right now. Productivity is not limited to spreadsheets, programming and emails.
On topic: yeah fuck that, sick of apple's endless price raises
Same. And I can't imagine they'll do this. That price point is such a huge jump that folks that would normally upgrade or jump in are going to go "naaaaah, I'm good."
