PSA this event is being held in New York, so it’ll be on at 2pm for us - not the usual 6pm for west coast events.

Announce hours after I bought a 2nd hand iPad pro on ebay because t’internet told me the event wouldn’t happen until mid-November :grimacing:

Will it not be 3pm?

You know mid-November is only like 4 weeks away, don’t you?

Clocks change the Sunday before it.

Ahh they do. Forgot about that.

I do, but I wanted an iPad for a trip before then. I got a good deal so there potential to sell it for a minimal loss depending on what’s announced. I’m not holding my breath for an iPad mini Pro though

I’m shocked they are still selling the Mini 4 for like 500 quid in John Lewis. I had the cellular Mini 3 a few years back and thought the size was great. I now have a larger 2017 one but I use it much less. Only when I’m DJing really.

Apple’s habit of having out of date equipment on sale at premium prices (eg mac mini, ipad mini & macbook air) is crazy but the mini is the perfect form factor for a tablet. Reminds me of my 2nd generation Nexus 7 which was :ok_hand:
I’d love it if they updated it.

John Lewis are selling it for ÂŁ300 (which is still ÂŁ250 too much).

As soon as they released the iPad in 2017 at the low price of ÂŁ319, it completely wiped the mini sales.

oh, bloody fantastic! just forked out a fortune on a new iPhone. I really can’t spend any more for ages. I do love my iPad. It’s easily my favourite Apple product.

I’m shocked that you’re shocked that Apple are selling out of date hardware at an extortionate price! :wink:

I held out on buying the current gen pro for nearly a year but finally bit the bullet last month at ÂŁ400 for a 64GB 10.5 as it was just too good to pass up.

Still interested to see what the new one’s like but for £600+ I’m happy with what I’ve got.

I miss the days when the brand new iPad started at £400 but Apple seem to love justifying a price hike by labelling everything “Pro”.

But you can buy a 32GB iPad for ÂŁ319?

The standard iPad is really good, and serves most people’s needs.
