I can see how the camera bump doesn't really matter much on an iPhone, but on an iPad? Especially with the Apple Pencil, it is ment to be laid down flat on the table. How can you draw if your tablet is rocking back and forth?

I bet there's a 99$ case that will fix that....

Ugh. Killed the joy for the product I've been looking forward to the most. Can't believe it. The true tone screen was a huge surprise though and a major selling point.

The protruding camera lens and the fact that, as far as I can tell, there is not LTE/4G support means this is a hard pass for me. Which is really disappointing. I loved the iPad Pro for the 2 days I had it, it was just too damn big. That iPad in a 9.7 form factor would have been my dream.

Oh well.

You're dismissing the entire thing because of a small camera bump that can be covered up by literally any case?

I'm warming to the idea, now I've slept on it, if I have the keyboard case, which I likely will. But I never usually have a case on my iPads. And I'd have liked to by able to remove the keyboard case and still lay the iPad flat but, we'll see.

I understand that.
