    Cutting through anatomy, lots of body modeling. Can actually mark up body to simulate injuries. (Full Body Markup?)
  • James Martin 9/9/2015 5:46:00 PM
  • Scott Stein 9/9/2015 5:46:15 PM
    Annotating 3D models and marking up the human anatomy...pretty trippy.
  • Shara Tibken 9/9/2015 5:46:29 PM

  • Scott Stein 9/9/2015 5:49:03 PM
    I can't see anyone not picking 128GB.
  • James Martin 9/9/2015 5:49:28 PM
  • Scott Stein 9/9/2015 5:49:31 PM
    But then, it's the cost of a MacBook, basically.
  • Shara Tibken 9/9/2015 5:49:54 PM
    That iPad really looks massive when you see it held by people in the video. I'm interested to see it in person
  • James Martin 9/9/2015 5:50:03 PM
  • Scott Stein 9/9/2015 5:50:05 PM
    32 to 128GB? rough gap there. I mean...64GB...??
  • James Martin 9/9/2015 5:50:48 PM
  • Scott Stein 9/9/2015 5:50:49 PM
    really emphasizing speakers on this iPad Pro.
  • James Martin 9/9/2015 5:51:03 PM
  • Scott Stein 9/9/2015 5:51:14 PM
    So: no USB-C on this thing, btw
  • Shara Tibken 9/9/2015 5:51:23 PM
    "IPad Pro enables tools and interactions that just haven't been possible before" Ive says in the video.
  • Shara Tibken 9/9/2015 5:51:39 PM
    iPad sales have been the one weak spot in Apple’s product line. Apple sold 10.9 million iPads in the June quarter, down 18 percent from the previous year. Analysts had expected it to sell 10.7 million tablets, according to a poll by Fortune. That marked the sixth consecutive decline for Apple's iPad line -- a concern for a company that's becoming more and more reliant on its smartphones.
