Heavier than the iPad Pro. Again. Still.


I know it's semantics, but Apple has never actually marketed their Air products as lighter than their Pro counterparts. The 11" variant is ~460g.


Are we meant to associate it with "hot air" marketing or what else?


What are you talking about? Air literally always meant thin and light. Now they're treating it a premium product between normal and pro instead (see iPhone Air too)


Yeah they should never have tried to copy "Air" from MacBooks, precisely where it meant thinnest/lightest, to the iPad/iPhone line where the products are already thin and light. That has always seemed like a bizarre branding move to me.

If they need a mid-tier brand between entry-level and Pro, just call it Plus. The iPad Plus would make a lot more sense.


FFS I cannot believe this. I went and looked it up, and you’re 100% right. It’s slight, but it’s real.


Who is live-streaming the hand history with running commentary?


This is satisfactory news. Now we can all get back to coding.


Kickstarter? No thanks. But good luck.


Ew. No.


+1 for reading on iPad. Especially the 12.9”. Not sure it’ll replace my eInk reader for pulp fiction, but for technical materials, it’s usually more convenient than going to my shelf to grab a physical book.


Has there been any word of a physical cartridge release?

Looks like everyone is rushing to check their storage.
