The M4 is a nice touch.
These iPads are way too expensive for me to justify the cost. I guess I'll keep my original iPad Pro for a while longer.

I’m sorry i am an avid Apple fan and love their products and quality but i was completely unimpressed today. It seems like the only users that would benefit form the new iPads and iPad Pro are high end graphic designers and music industry professionals. Apple really blew it for the day to day user. If they had put the new OLED display on the air than i could justify getting one. This marketing decision from Apple was clearly just to get people to spend money. I do not see the value of this update. Really my iPad Pro does everything i need it to do now. Why spend $1500 for a new one. Really Tim Cook Apple is missing the mark here. I literally was very disappointed today. A very lackluster ploy. :(

I agree. I'm thinking of switching to Android and Windows now that Google promises updates for 8 years.

come on Apple, can't you at least try to bring something new and innovative to the table instead of just rehashing old technology like a broken record?
