New iPad Pros. Pencil hover sounds like a great feature, I’d love to know why it’s locked to the new pros? (current prediction, so you’ll upgrade!) M2 performance sounds CRAZY. Faster wifi…cool. I guess that’s nice. It doesn’t really sound that compelling. I guess it’s nice to have so... chrisjwilson.me

@ChrisJWilson I guess detecting proximity means that you have to have proximity detecting hardware in the iPads…

@yatil True, is the pencil new? I’d assume it would need to be on both sides but perhaps I’m wrong there and it could just be the iPad.

@ChrisJWilson I like how they're highlighting "Blazing-fast connections" via wireless for their only iOS device that supports thunderbolt.

@ChrisJWilson (I mean... I want one, of course lol)

@ChrisJWilson Yeah, exactly. Currently my thinking is the same for this and every other item in my life, where possible; get the best one, use it for as long as possible.

@ChrisJWilson It’s listed as a display feature.

@yatil Thanks for the info and detail snooping. Still don't think it will get me to get a new iPad Pro (even excluding budgetary issues).

@SimonWoods I generally like this principle too. It works well with Apple things especially in recent years with the long support for hardware. Where I think it get's tricky is between product lines. I have a Macbook Air because I don't really need the Pro. With the iPad it feels more tricky though. The lines seem so close to each other.

@ChrisJWilson oh yeah, I have no intention to update my 2018 11”, too. It’s still plenty good enough for my use cases.
