Reading Reddit and some of the Apple forums it sounds like the combined genius of Kwasi Kwarteng and Liz Truss was behind this latest iPad Pro "update" to be honest

Apples going to get slated for this.

I presume the base doesn't have 120hz display? Tbh that's all I am particularly interested in when it comes to an iPad upgrade.

Pro only.

Looks like a £20 increase for the Apple Pencil and a £50 increase for the magic keyboard. Probably going to wait and see if there is a price drop by black friday.

 

[Broken Hope]

Based on the iPad price increases.

iPad mini £479 -> £569
iPad 9th gen £319 -> £369
iPad Air £569 -> £669
iPad Pro 11 inch £749 -> £899

When they update the macs the prices will be insane.

Least the Mac Pro should still hopefully be a bargain

I'd love to sit and have a talk to Tim Cook and ask him why they do some of the mad things they do? Like why has the new iPad not got support for Apple Pencil 2 built in. Why does the new iPad Pro not have the same (better?) landscape camera that the new basic iPad has?

He will look into your eyes, lean in close and whisper the answer in your ear… “share prices”

We've already seen the M2 Macbook Air's price increase, 999 vs 1249 so these are going to be very pricey indeed

Our currency collapsed... Went from $1.40 to $1.10 within a year so you'd expect Apple/Nvidia/etc to increase prices when they release new products.

 

[robfosters]

Prices are silly now. My iPad Air 5 I bought in March is £100 dearer now!

The iPad Pro does have better cameras than the basic iPad.

I like a good old minor update as it means I can quite happily get a previous generation 12.9” Pro for a decent discount when it’s time to upgrade (can’t even remember what gen I have but it’s the first w/ProMotion and FaceID). Upgrading these is almost at Mac levels now for me, just no need for a number of years.

 

[ChrisD.]

Finally, will get the 11” Pro.

No mini LED on the 11” Pro still.

I know but my 2018 Pro has a crack running across the screen.

 

[HACO]

I suspect there will be some good deals for the 2021 Pro in the coming weeks. I'll be watching.

LOL @ so many complaining about the conversion rates... the new prices... you do realise this has absolutely nothing to do with Apple & everything to do with Brexit, terrible economic policy & the USA's artificial over-inflation of the USD to drown out the other global markets?
