As much as this is talked about, I don't actually expect that I'll spend a lot of time with my iPad plugged into the pencil to charge like this. It really will be for emergency, in the field recharging.
As to the question itself, not one clue. We don't have the numbers on how thick the Pencil is (no tech specs yet).
Yep - too bad the pro probably wont be a part of any big sales during that peak shopping/deals time. Too new for that, unfortunately...
I could definitely see an end of October pre-order and early November release. I really hope it isn't a late November release.... That's too long to wait. lol
Kal.
Hopefully this is the case, I really want to buy one, it just depends on how popular the iPad Pro is and how many they can produce in time.
I am quite intrigued by the iPad Pro, as an art student. I have a 1st Gen Mini which has been good for on-the-go stuff.
I have no clue if it's possible, but it would be really interesting to use this as a tablet much like the Wacom line. To connect it to my mac & run photoshop & such on it. I'm not sure if that's even a possibility, but that's a feature I really wish we could see. I love Wacom, but to be able to use this as a drawing tablet + take it on the go & run all my iPad apps would be a dream

Theres an app called astro pad which turns an ipad into a wacom style display. I think some people on here have it. the developer says that they want to support the apple pencil. http://astropad.com/ipad/
I cant wait for the Pro, but what will really excite me are the apps that'll specially be developed for it and the pencil.
I'm so excited for it mostly for the improved speakers and the potential for apps! I just want to see the screen size in my hands already! November can't come soon enough
Really, November 25th? I'm thinking more like the 10th-12th, but we'll see. In the meantime, cast your vote on the iPad Pro release date poll right here on MacRumors Forums...
Hey, I hope you're right! I'm just saying Apple tends to really take it to the end of any semi-vague timeframe they announce.
With the 21st-29th being an "extended holiday week," Friday the 13th (I'm not superstitious, and I'm not saying that Apple is, but I do believe that they will take other people's beliefs into account...), and Apple's likelihood to want to dominate my holiday gifting budget... I'm just guessing (with hope), that the 10th-12th is the most realistic range for that particular month.
Yeah, the price is hurtful. It's a new design with lots of cutting edge technology, I get that, but Over $1,200 fully loaded is really pushing it. Would like to see that come down to under $1K in a couple years. A 32GB model plus LTE plus keyboard and pencil at $700 or so would move a lot more units IMO. Artists especially should eat these up, I could see these being standard gear at art schools everywhere in the world. There is nothing else like it, not Surface and not Wacom Cintiq.Price tag for a 128GB model with both Pencil and keyboard is $1217!
Will be interesting when we find out how much it actually costs Apple to build these things. I'm going to guess the bill of materials on the $1,200 hardware is well under $500. Of course there's R&D and marketing and all the other hidden costs but still.
it's a full blown OS, how is that gimped? an ipad that runs iOS is gimped. to each his own.
yup, useless getting into a osx/windows argument, especially considering that not all people here are osx users
Thank you so much for this! had never ever heard of it, but it looks fantastic. Cannot wait to try it, especially with Apple Pencil!
