iPad Pro

After being with this X, my Pro feels ancient with this huge bezel, even though it still works flawlessly. Will be very tempting, since I use my iPad more than any thing I own.

You don't need a laptop and iPad, but I loved the iMac/iPad combo I rocked for a few years.
I will definitely move my current 12.9 iPad Pro for one these new ones if it even comes close to looking like the renders.

All XR models show currently unavailable on Apple's website.
Guess Apple is trying to manipulate the impression of demand for this as literally last night all versions/all sizes were available in a FSR (except yellow) for pickup/delivery on the 26th.

Finally got a 10 s max this weekend.

Truly amazing phone. The display is gorgeous.

Not having a home button or Touch ID is not as bad as I thought. The Face ID is really the future.

It’s like having new phone from IOS.

Now to get the new Nike watch. My 0 series watch is super slow these days can’t wait to update.

The Face ID is impressive but I look stupid trying to get it to unlock sometimes and when I’m
Trying to change songs while driving is kind of dangerous ... lmao

The yellow xr looks dope.

Would an ipad suffice for a laptop for mainly browsing & music?

You can turn off Attention to help with that Face ID issue.

And use Siri when driving. Shorty does everything for me from my music to adjusting the lights in my crib.

iCloud is a must. 2TB is all I need
I’m cool on the iPads. My 2017 MacBook Pro gets way more use than my IPad Air 2

For sure

Theres not much an ipad can’t do, it’s biggest flaw, IMO, is that it is practically an enlarged iPhone, and not a compact Mac

Anyone know how much it costs to repair the back of an iPhone XS Max with applecare? Cracked mine today

I’m pretty sure they don’t/can’t replace the glass. They will swap out your phone.

Is it costly? Not trying to drop $200 or some nonsense for something that has no impact on my device

Idk. Check with your applecare terms.

 

[Zainjal26]

yup, bought one two different times, returned it both times

got my MacBook and iPhone, see no need for an iPad

Honestly like you guys never thought I’d need one, thought it was a waste of money since the first iPad,
Until my sister got me an iPad Air 2, whenever I’m at home I barely touch my phone and Only ever use my iPad lol

 

[Bert.]

I just can't man, its just an oversized iphone

prefer to use my phone if I need a handheld

any other typing, school, serious ****, MacBook.

I just read an article today. It costs a lot.

https://www.macrumors.com/2018/10/22/iphone-xr-out-of-warranty-repair-fees/

• iPhone XR : $199 for screen damage, $399 for other damage
• iPhone XS: $279 for screen damage, $549 for other damage
• iPhone XS Max: $329 for screen damage, $599 for other damage
• iPhone X: $279 for screen damage, $549 for other damage
• iPhone 8: $149 for screen damage, $349 for other damage
• iPhone 8 Plus: $169 for screen damage, $399 for other damage

That's why I always buy AppleCare.

Yeah I saw that on the site but didn’t feel like it was plausible that they’d expect customers to drop $599 bc the back cracked

 

[AZwildcats]

It's not cheap, but since I got Apple Care I have a much greater peace of mind with my phone.

Unfortunately, it is true. Here's an article that details it when the X dropped last year. Apparently, it's a difficult to fix.

If you had AppleCare, it would have only cost you $29 to fix the screen & the "other damage" is only $99.

I have AppleCare so I guess $99 not bad. I’ll let it rock for now and go at a later time. That back is dumb fragile tho. Have an otterbox on the phone and sat on it with barely any pressure and heard a crunch. Took the case and there was a spiderweb crack in the middle

 

[superblytrife]

Wish I had a legit use for the iPad. So far I’ve bought 4 different generations of them and after 4/5 months I realize all I use it for is non-essential stuff. Plus it’s so much more convenient to whip out the phone real quick, as opposed to lugging around an iPad.

That said, I’m tempted.

at this point, you're an idiot if you don't buy it

My bad, misread your original post thinking you didn't...

I have an ipad pro 9.7 and have an iphone X. I'm torn on what to do...get a new ipad pro 11.5, macbook air, surface pro, or pixelbook. Pro with a logitech keyboard is what I am leaning towards but those surface pros look so nice. I just wish the pro had the software of a macbook because like some of you have said the ipad just feels like a bigger iphone.
