    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.

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