Apple today announced some new iPads. My thoughts:
Regular iPad: They moved the front camera to the side, which is much better for landscape use. I like.
They released a new keyboard folio for it. I like that the keyboard has a function key row (and a trackpad). I do not like the kickstand design - seems like it won’t work well on a lap?
iPad Pro: seems other than M2, the only thing they added was pencil “hover” functionality. Seems like another feature like force-touch that will get minimum adoption and not be too useful for most folks. Graphics folks will probably love it.
They didn’t move faceid/camera to the side, so no sale for me this time. The 11” still doesn’t have miniLED screen.
