    The bigger question here is “What’s the next iPad, 9 or are gonna skip that like the iPhone?”

    • Mr Chicken

    Not having that pro motion display might be a deal-breaker for me…

    • Omar Lucas

      @kalvinye it’s basically the high refresh rate (120hz). smoother animation, scrolling, all that stuff

      Bruh your already getting so much for only $700. And your gonna spend almosst $500 more to just get a second camera and pro motion?

    I always regret buying
    Apple products because they
    always release new things in
    months after I buy ’em.

    That finger print sensor is a huge pain in the butt when using. I use the old iPad with finger print sensor located at the front. I use it a lot when logging in to website and I use the 11 pro max Face ID to log in to websites too. Both has its pros and Cons but that finger print sensor at the top is only a huge Con. I hate every time I need to press the power button to take screen shot on the iPad, it’s just difficult to reach and not exactly on your eye line.

    Instead of spending on this iPad with 64 gb I would just go for the pro with 128 gb, face id and pro motion display. This iPad is just a farce. Eventually it won’t sell as good cause people who use the face id or old finger print sensor will start noticing it’s huge disadvantage.

    32gb in 2020 is fuckin laughable
