I still don't get what we're supposed to call the new 9.7" iPad Pro. That's a mouthful. The little one? Or is that the Mini? The mid-sized iPad? The smaller iPa

- lstamour 11y agoWhy not round up and call it the 10" iPad Pro vs the 13" iPad Pro, just as we call them 12", 13" and 15" notebooks, even if we're off by a bit?

- delinka 11y agoWell, that's if Apple does the rounding. It'd be us, the plebeians, doing the rounding. No lawsuits over that.
- delinka 11y agoI swear I thought the presenters at that last media event actually called it "iPad Pro mini." I don't see any references to that on Apple's site so I guess I'll have to rewatch to address my sanity.
- mmanfrin 11y agoPro lines are premium until they become the norm (MBP), in which case the pro line is killed (or specialized) in favor of the default line (Macbook). 'Light' or 'Air' lines are minimized initially, and then their internals come up to parity with the default line and they are killed off for being redundant. Then you have a generation or two of iteration for the main line before new Pro and Light lines (with new branding) come out with 'innovative new features' of some higher specs or lighter weight. It's like a brand model treadmill.
