The new iPad OS will launch alongside it on 30th September.

You mention that it's the first regular iPad to offer pencil support, however I thought the previous generation iPad did

Thanks, I've edited it. Still using an old iPad Air 2 here...

The iPad Air definitely has had Pencil support for some time and you're right about iPad 6th Gen having support as well.

Just out of interest, what is "the top-selling Windows PC"?

A Series 3 Apple Watch for £199 is tempting, very tempting. I find my FitBit can be limiting at times. Will have to consider this.

Worth noting that the ipad is basically the same as last year, just 0.5 inches bigger and a price rise in the UK.

Is it a price rise or just a weaker pound?

Haven't heard of the reasoning, currency rates being the reason wouldn't surprise me. Regardless of the reason, it's still a price rise to us.

YAWN: since when is ARM faster than X86 from intel & AMD? iPad "up to two times faster performance over the top-selling Windows PC"

I do hope that's a I pencil and I keyboard, otherwise it will not sell.

I want to know this, tbh is always workload related, but how relevant is the workload being used to test that statement though...

So, after much umming and arring, I've just ordered the Series 5 for collection on Friday next week.
