Back to Tim Cook now
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:41:18 PM
"In addition to the 3,000 creative pros, we have over 70K team members that are dedicated to help you get the most out of your products, and they are the best team on the planet."
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:41:28 PM
There are clearly A LOT of Apple people in this crowd
Scott Stein 10/30/2018 2:41:30 PM
41 minutes in so far. How long will event run, I wonder?
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:41:40 PM
"I am moving to New York," Cook says
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:41:46 PM
(joke, I assume)
Scott Stein 10/30/2018 2:41:49 PM
iPad time
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:41:50 PM
Now we're onto iPad
Scott Stein 10/30/2018 2:42:15 PM
Portable, versatile (but still not my laptop replacement)
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:42:21 PM
"Portable, versatile and powerful, while at the same time being incredibly easy to use." Sold over 400M so far.
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:42:36 PM
Sold more iPads in the last year than the entire notebook lineup of the biggest notebook manufacturers
Scott Stein 10/30/2018 2:43:09 PM
iPad Mini has been invoked.
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:43:28 PM

Goodbye home button
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:44:33 PM
A new Apple Pencil too
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:44:44 PM
Oh nice, it charges way differently than before
Scott Stein 10/30/2018 2:45:03 PM
No more chamfered edges! Face ID. Smaller bezels. New Pencil with side touch area and it magnetically attaches to top of iPad.
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:45:10 PM
Before, you connected one end to the lightning port, so it stuck out weird. This one looks like it has a magnet or something to stick to the side of the device

A little sleight of hand in the iPad Pro promo video -- Scott (and I) surely appreciate the nod to prestidigitation
.
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:45:33 PM
John (I didn't catch the last name because Apple never puts them on the screen) is now up to talk about this
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:45:47 PM
"This is the iPad we dreamed about building from the very beginning."
Shara Tibken 10/30/2018 2:46:06 PM
Display corners are rounded like what it's in the iPhone XR. Liquid Retina display like in that phone
Scott Stein 10/30/2018 2:46:18 PM
Now looks more like detached laptop lid than ever. LCD display, similar Liquid Retina curved-corner display tech to iPhone XR
