What's interesting with pencil support is if it'll affect sales of the iPad pro. The processors are now comparable for everyday tasks, so is the better speaker + screen worth 600+ dollars? That is in addition to spending $200+ on a pencil and keyboard that you might as well get if you're getting a iPad Pro. At that point it's 3x as expensive as the cheap iPad with the same pencil and keyboard.

If you take drawing seriously the 60hz refresh is still fine - no artist I know drawing on the original iPad Pro ran out to upgrade solely due to Pro Motion/120hz refresh support. For sure having a higher refresh rate is _nicer_, but not having it is hardly a deal-breaking flaw. My wife draws voraciously on an iPad and while the difference was noticeable to me if I really look for it, she didn't even pickup on the improved refresh at all when she tried a model with Pro Motion for a while before going back to her launch 12.9" model.

- jordache 9y agoyeah.. pencil is a big selling point for me... but not really to put that money down for a pro... this i assume is good enough. Better than the airs from a few years ago, which is what I'm using.
