Apple September 9th event

iPad Pro looks great with the keyboard cover and pencil. Just afraid of what the price tag might be.

 

[Ravynmagi]

Hmmmm...I vote $50-$65, especially if all the sensors are inside the stylus.

I agree, price will probably be closer to $50. That is what Microsoft charges for their pen. Can't imagine Apple being cheaper.

I mean, it basically competes with a surface pro, imo. $900-1200. Not sure I see the point of continuing the Macbook Air with this thing.

Wow they used Microsoft Word/Excel for their demo instead of their in-house apps.

 

[ultimatebob]

It's not a stylus, silly... It's a "pencil"

What's the difference? About $40, I'd guess.

I'm calling it the iPencil from now on then

 

[Stuka87]

I love that the drawing app is called Pro Create

 

[Kaido]

I am very curious to see how the Pencil compares to Wacom's offering. I love my Intuos, but it'd be cool to have a portable unit (Wacom has portable units, but eh).

lol, ipad surface pro.

I'm hoping Apple is aiming this to be between the Surface 3 and Surface 3 Pro. So maybe a price starting at $700.

 

[Stuka87]

Starts at 799, about what i thought.

 

[maddogchen]

iPencil $99. I was sooooo far off

 

[AznAnarchy99]

Cheaper than I expected.

 

[Gooberlx2]

iPencil $99. I was sooooo far off

Holy shit. LOL.

 

[Ravynmagi]

Holy crap, $100 for a pencil!??
$800 for the 32GB isn't too surprising, but that's too little storage for something like this (much like 64GB is way too little for a Surface Pro). So really $900 price tag. Ugh.

Edit: I mean $950.

 

[LightPattern]

iPad Pro
32 GB minimum! Woo
Also 128 GB option... no 64?

 

[quikah]

32GB base model is a joke for a "Pro" device. Well, guess it is expected from Apple...

 

[SAWYER]

facepalm at these Johny Ive videos, like a parody of themselves

 

[Gooberlx2]

Okay so:
Pro: $800 - $1080
Pencil: $100
Keyboard cover: $170

$1070 - $1350

 

[Stuka87]

Keyboard cover is $169, $40 more than what MS charges.

The difference is that Surface Pro runs full windows, which will easily grow to be 30GB. iOS has a far smaller footprint that does not grow over time due to updates like windows. But I agree it should be 64GB.

srsly who the fuck is the target market for an iPad pro? digital artists?

 

[Kaido]

Galaxy Watch - Apple "me too"

Surface Pro 3 - Apple "me too"

Going to see an Echo/Wink "me too" today?

Apple likes to create markets because they know people will by them. Just like when the first iPad came out, everybody went "WTF?!" and yet they have sold tens of millions of them.
