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.

    And, I think, the keyboard. So if you have a current iPad Pro and want the better quality keyboard and trackpad, you have to upgrade your otherwise still more than capable iPad.

    It’s fucking diabolical.

    Yes, if you want to use a trackpad designed for specific tablets, you must buy one of these tablets. That's outrageous!

    Back when the premise was to make the pencil a standalone product. Now Cook wants to have 4 iPad lines and 4 pencils that only work with basically a single model. Just. How are people okay with this!

    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.
