Apple releases new iPad
No new iPad Pro. Wonder whether the pro will release in April
To be fair, it looks disappointing to power users, but for people who don't have an (recent) iPad, budget users and those in education sector, this may be the sweet spot for them
Disappointing.. really I holding on my iPad Air and wanting to upgrade to the next pro. So basically got to wait another year or so.
It's not disappointing at all given the specs. This iPad is not for everyone but for people who wants to own an iPad and people who has no needs for super specs.
New and higher end iPad(s) is/are still expected to launch this year.

However I agree with you. The price point is good and it will kill many tablet brands out there.
That right! It time for me to upgrade from my iPad Air to this new iPad, i no need the best spec as i just use it for basic stuff like reading lecture notes, watch video only and some games. A brighter 9.7" retina display, from A7 CPU to A9 CPU is a good upgrade as the iPad air (initial with iOS 7) with latest iOS 10 is really slowing down. Apple use the iPad Air chassis for this new iPad (no more side silent switch) but same dimension and weight.
Apple ecosystem and the quality of optimized iPad Apps is the clear winner here!
$698 for 32gb wifi + LTE
$848 for 128gb wifi + LTE
Cheap meh? 2nd hand iPad Pro 9.7" 128 GB LTE is $900. Seems like a more sweet spot
Future plan for Apple:
1. Normal: 8" iPad mini, 9.7" iPad
2. Pro series: 10.5" iPad Pro, 12.9" iPad Pro
I doubt 8" iPad mini will have pro version. Don't really make sense. Always feel 9.7" is a bit small for pro series. Hehe!
