iPad Pro Available to Order Wed 11th

Graham

Apple have announced they'll be taking orders for the iPad Pro, Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard starting this Wednesday. Deliveries scheduled to begin by the end of the week.

Is anyone here planning to order?

I haven't see any yet, but starting around €850-899, I'd imagine.

I've seen nothing announced yet but based on the leaked UK pricing I'd expect a starting price of around €849/€859.

Will probably pick one up.

€919/€1249 in France

€899/€1229 in Germany

At a guess, Ireland will be in line with France's pricing.

I was just trying to find that out myself.

There's no sign of it on the Australian apple site yet, read into that what you will.

Going to leave it until the weekend to order to read through the early reviews and hopefully get a hands-on demo if CompuB get stock in Galway.

No plans to get one here but looking forward to having a play with it in store later in the week.

Yep it's in the press release on the apple.ie web page

Graham

Wow, pricing is harsher than I expected.

Starting at €1227 for the full iPad/Pencil/Keyboard combo!

T83

€939 for a base model alone... ouch.

When broken down it's fairer than I expected:

$799 = €745.23 + 23% VAT (€171.40) = €916.63

So an extra €22 walking around money for Tim.

Graham

Available now on the Apple Store App, nothing on the web site yet.

I thought there was a 128GB wifi only model?
They seem to only have the 128GB model with LTE.

I can see wifi only.

Graham

I'm seeing availability of the 128GB WiFi Only in Space Grey with Tuesday delivery.

Graham

Looks like stock of the Apple Pencil is a few days behind the iPad Pro. Dispatch in 5 - 7 business days for the pencil, 1 business day for the iPad Pro, 5 - 7 days for the keyboard.

Thanks.
I was looking at the press release on the site. I don't have the app on my phone.

It's available on the IE store but only from the direct link:

What makes the iPad Pro, a Pro. Is it just screen size/processor separating it from the air 2?

Pressure sensitive screen, 4 speakers as well.

And so say the pressure sensitive screen and the 4 speakers, is there any talk of these moving into the next iteration of the air. Like they seem like functionality I'd like in an air sized device.

I presume next air will get the processor that's in the current pro?

And is the pencil the only input device that works as a stylus for this? Or is it technology that can be used by other stylus manufacturers? What's the purpose of not including the pencil with the Pro, is it because there are other options?

€939 entry point for the new one?

That'll help their competitors.

I'd expect the processor to be in the Air 3 and while I'd love to see the display in the Air 3 I'm not sure they will, to differentiate between the Air and the Pro.

Pencil not included because it's not cheap, and not everyone needs one. Other stylus makers will be able to make them for the pro, but I'm not sure if the Pencil works with the Air and Mini.

Yeah I get ya. A 9.7 inch "pro" would be nice!

Fair enough, just seems like one of the main differentiators doesn't even come as standard, it's extra, if ya get me. But I guess people might just want extra screen size.

Bah, they could make the next air so nice!
