New iPad Pro only works with the new Apple Pencil Pro. Which is the same price as the 2nd Gen.
So anyone with a current Pro and a 2nd gen pencil needs to upgrade both. That’s insane.
Now if that isn’t the shadiest Cook move I don’t know what is. What’s next? Do I need a special Remote Pro with the new Apple TV? Are we really doing “Pro only” accessories?? Is that where we are these days???
All 4 Apple pencils still being sold as of writing this. Yes even the first gen that’s nearly 10 years old. And despite 3 others available.
So much for tight Apple product lines.
I won’t be purchasing this new iPad Pro (even though I really love my oled screens). It’s too stunned by its ipadOS.
“Pro” has always been a marketing strategy for them and I feel that Apple products haven’t been tight for a long time.
