A 13" tab does seem like it's going to be tiring to carry in one hand. Looks enormous.

The Apple Pencil stylus, not for everybody but pretty ideal for people in certain fields. Better than the finger painting folks have to do now. Also probably good for students if the handwriting recognition and shape translation is on point. And there's that whole other side of the planet with a pictographic/glyph-based language. Proof will be in the pudding as far as latency and sensitivity go. Hopefully there's a Find My Pencil app.

Definitely a response to Microsoft Surface on some level, but that's the end of the market worth fighting for.
 
right around the corner from replacing televisions...
interactive, watch programs, give presentations...

kinda makes since, although I do agree, tablets were meant to be compact.

A commenter called it "The Maxi Pad"....lol

I have multiple android and apple products.


I do find a lot of what apple says/said amusing:


Those other phones are too big. The iPhone 4 is perfect size.
The iPhone 5 comes out. It's longer. They show it in one hand and the thumb goes "from here to here"

No stylus. It's a "touch" screen.


Now, because the consumer "wants what IT WANTS"!!! Their phones are bigger. They have a stylus. The iPads are smaller and they are bigger.


In other words..... Give people options. Let them choose.
Don't tell them what is better... Don't tell them what they want.

Lol
 
^thats why Ive always said apple is a crap company. They literally live off a fad.

They have little innovation and they try and tell their consumers what they should use instead of letting them choose.

Of course the consumer has the right to choose. You have the right to spend your money wherever you want.
 
I watch a lot of TV/Movies on my iPad, I'm going to get this larger iPad

It's ok not to like Apple, but to say they have little innovation is outright ridiculous...

Name one innovation.

And I'm not talking about something they sold a lot of. I am talking INNOVATION.

Tablet...existed before the ipad
MP3 player...existed before the ipod
Smart phone...existed before the iphone
PDA....existed before the itouch
Mobile operating system...existed before ios
Full touchscreen devices....existed before the itouch/iphone
Smartwatch...existed before apple watch
Computer TV...existed before appletv
Router...existed before airport

Saying apple is innovative is like me saying Bose is innovative. Both are just really good at marketing far more than innovative.

Both companies are very good at marketing, which is an innovation within itself, but they also had a slew of innovative products.

Innovation has nothing to do with being the first to the market. The iPhone revolutionized the smartphone industry. Every smartphone out there now reflects Apple's iOS.

The development of iTunes store offering thousands of apps in a central location was also a first
iPod revolutionized the mp3 market
They were the first to offer individual .99 cent downloads
Macintosh revolutionized the PC industry
They didn't invent the mouse, but they were the first to perfect it and make it a standard on every PC out there
They were also the first to incorporate the touchpad on a laptop

As for Bose, the 901's were definitely innovative. Big sound in a small package. They were also at the forefront of the small footprint speaker systems. They were among the first to create the factory company store in the audio industry that sold their products directly to the consumer.

Bose was the first high end system incorporated as a factory stereo (GM/Bose System)

Amar Bose also developed a suspension system and magnetic shock absorbers. The problem is that they never wear out, so the auto industry isn't interested

Agreed and disagreed.

At some point, steve or Tim, they had to open it up.

Jobs had the vision that we were all minions/underlings and we will always want what he says we want. Lol
