What a snooze fest of an update.

But honestly, what can they add to the iPad Pro at this point since the limits are all due to iPad OS.

Why would anyone struggle with an iPad for video editing when you can do the same MUCH more efficiently, with MUCH better software, with MUCH better file etc. support, with MUCH better external screen support on a Mac, for around the same price if you also add Apple's keyboard and - to have 16GB of RAM - go for at least the 1TB model?! And the Mac is significantly less locked down.

* The 16GB memory confirmation of the ‌iPad Pro‌ is still only offered with 1TB and 2TB storage configuration models. Other configurations have 8GB of memory.

Criminal in 2022 for the top-end model to ever ship with 8GB RAM.
