  1. It’s designed for businesses they don’t care about features but want long support times. Latest chip means it will hang around forever. But if you are any reasonable human who does more than calls, all the other models are worth the extra or losing the year of support for.

  2. Hoping for a mini pro, or at least a mini air. Doesn't even need to be that fast but want them to actually shrink those larger than the previous design bezels. Want the ultimate, take it on vacation device, 5G/ebooks/movies/camera etc.

  3. Or people using it in direct sunlight constantly like site surveyors, field workers etc.

  4. The phone for businesses or people that care about literally nothing except that it’s an iPhone that will get updates as long as possible.

  5. The 11" pro is the same size, the airs are the same size just renamed. It's only the 13" pro that's a different size. "Measured diagonally as a rectangle, the 13-inch iPad Air is 12.9 inches and the 11-inch iPad Air is 10.86 inches. Actual viewable area is less." < on Apple's website for the new Airs. Despite the 11" being the same size exactly, it still isn't compatible with the old magic keyboard, so no, it's not the reason they made the 13" bigger.

  6. Measured diagonally as a rectangle, the 13-inch iPad Air is 12.9 inches and the 11-inch iPad Air is 10.86 inches. Actual viewable area is less. There was no change to the screen size of any iPad except the 12.9 > 13 pro. That's why they look the same. They just renamed the Air and added this disclaimer.

  7. Seems pretty obvious, but Mike Hurley pointed it out about half a day earlier. In-fact he suggested they do it exactly this way months ago. (And obviously some engineer years before that thought it up.) Guess it is obvious.

  9.  @akashP998  The 12.9 is great for desk use, the smaller ones (especially the mini) are great for handheld use. I can't see even a lighter/thinner 13" being great for handheld use just because it's where the center of gravity is more than the total weight/thickness. If anything being thinner will make it less comfortable. Wish there was a mini-pro. But maybe, just maybe the 11" will get down to that feel eventually. Doubt it though.

  10.  @andyH_England  Lighter is great, thinner is actually harder to hold at this point I already think it was too thin many generations ago. Lighter is great, sure, though the mini 2-5 was the best for handheld feel, the center of gravity being closer to your hand just made it very comfortable, and the 2 at least had an awesome case, curved edges that thing was perfect. The current mini has no more screen realestate and actually thicker bezels, jelly scrolling screen on the sides, it's a disaster.

  11. The 13 air is actually 12.9, but they're calling it 13 (basically it's the old pro screen). Apple specifically calls this out on their website MKBHD just got this wrong, or may have just glossed over the 13 when he said the 11" is a larger air. The pro 13 however did get marginally larger, and the pro 11 is the same.

  13. There's been other cases that put their hinge where the pencil is, they just need to allow space there, would make it more secure and less likely to lose the pencil, which along with the case not being quite as sleek for non pencil users, is why Apple did it this way.

  14. Would be nice for it to be near the hinge so it was secured when travelling. Can't tell you how many relatives I've had lose their pencil because on the outside it easily slips off.

  15.  @imelliam  Thinner is warmer actually :p It's already well past the point where it's uncomfortably thin to hold, especially with the sharp edges. Lighter is cool I guess, though I imagine most of that is the reduced battery capacity, some small % may be the new screen.

  16. Yep if it’s raining it can drop your food on the wet ground in the rain.
