iPad Pro Pre-ordering iPad Pro ...

[TheLondonFella]

I've waited until Apple had a major update to replace my aging iPad, so I am definitely excited about preorders.

I'm in exactly the same boat.

I've loved my 64GB iPad 4, but it doesn't feel fluid anymore.

I've even had to rearrange the whole layout, getting rid of folders & spreading my apps across several pages, as I worked out that too many folders creating stuttering.

What iPad are you coming from?

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to the iPad Pro ...

 

[TheLondonFella]

I'll go back and forth on this for a while. I would like one, but I'm not sure I actually have use for one. I would probably use it for playing board games (Go boards are huge, so the extra size makes a virtual one quite usable) and dabbling around with music-creation apps. The price is all right for what it is; for me it's more about not wanting to add more clutter to my life that ends up seeing little use. I might just wait for the inevitable revised version in probably less than a year (if it only has 2 GB RAM, I'll likely pass).

I also want to see what the Surface Pro 4 is like before making a decision. It's rumored to come out this year, too.

You probably already know this by now, but it has 4GB of RAM ...

One of the things I'm most looking forward to is experiencing the audio produced from this bad boy ...

Space Grey iPhone 6, silver (15") rMBP, Gold iPad Pro. Shame it's not november yet (and no word on exact dates).

Not for me really, it's pretty much an iPad best suited for someone who will use it professionally, or have money to burn.

 

[driftless]

okay..and who are those "people" that will be waiting in line?

My guess it will be like the recent Macbook roll out and there will not be people waiting in lines.

Apple haven't event announced the pre-order date for the iPad Pro, also I'm not seeing the Uk prices on Apples website here in the UK, it would be nice to know how much the iPad Pro is going to cost. I will be pre-ordering one.

You HONESTLY don't think people (those in line) will buy iPad pro?

 

[doboy]

No 3D Touch just lets me justify another upgrade.

Especially to your wife/husband when they nag you about buying another idevice
Not that my wife does.

You HONESTLY don't think people (those in line) will buy iPad pro?

No, I mean that I don't think to you will see lines around the block for the iPad Pro like you did for iPhones in years past. Of course customers in Apple stores will purchase the iPad Pro just like they do other Apple products.

I already made it clear for the soon to be fiancé that I will be spending quite a lot on Apple every year.

I have OCD so the chamfered edge is very concerning lol. $800 out of the box with hairline scratch on the edge or ding is very heartbreaking

The same could be said for people who spend £700 on a mobile phone.

I wonder who that could include??

I think they will launch the iPad Pro just like the rMB, i.e. no massive queuing outside the store, online only. That works if you're among the first to press the button. Everyone else will just be foaming at the mouth and angry!

Good luck y'all!!

Right. Gun shy from the last time with the stupid Watch. Sold out in seconds.

So i'll try to get it right this time. Geesh, as I write this i'm remembering that Watch pre-order. It was there.....then it wasn't

Hilarious.

The iPad Pro is no more expensive than the iPhone 6S+...

For 128gb models, both are $949 in the US.


[In the UK, the 6S+ 128 is £789.. the iPad Pro UK price is not yet known.]

 

[kazmac]

There's an Apple product for everyone and I am looking forward to using this.

I wasn't specifically complaining about the price, I wouldn't consider it expensive if I find it useful for me, but as of right now I don't think it is, so I'd consider buying it the same as burning money.

Edit:

Moved to correct thread.........

 

[kazmac]

Has anybody seen any change in the order status?

I can't access my order right now but last time I checked there was no change since I ordered just before the end of the presentation (actually the band was still playing and they had not closed the event). No activity on CC and no change in status.

Not being snarky here, you were able to pre order the iPad Pro?

Or do you mean the iPad Mini 4 / iPhone 6s?

 

[ugcop]

Oops my bad...I had been reading the mini thread and went to lunch, came back and ended up in the Pro thread. I will repost...thanks

 

[kazmac]

No worries. Glad you were able to get the Mini

 

[Badrottie]

Fallen in loved with the iPad Pro.

I actually think the price is superb, as well as the device.

I'm pre-ordering the 128gb model, as soon as the Apple Store is back up!

Probably go for silver.

Who else is with me on pre-ordering?

If so, which colour are you going for?

No I am not with you sorry.

I've got a 16GB iPad3. Loved it initially and used it constantly, but now it's very sluggish, and I need more storage. Every time I add something, I have to delete something else! It's gotten so bad, I barely use it now.

 

[masotime]

Condescending much?

If money worries you, I think you're in the wrong place.

This is Apple, after all.

Maybe check out Android?

I'll definitely go for the 128GB model, with both the fold out Keyboard and Pencil. I really hope it isn't half-assed like the first Surface Pro, but so far Apple hasn't delivered a less-than-satisfactory product.
