![]() Add marketing force to the extra differentiating factors I mentioned before (specially battery gains, if any) and voila, the lineup will make more sense. al they have to do is put them next to each other in the store and the deeper blacks and the more vibrant, HDR colors will tell the story of how they are different. Just the OLED alone, if it is a stacked one and it ends up being as good as the rumors have it, will almost immediately make a regular buyer see a difference between say the 11 inch Air and the Pro. ![]() that would make a BIG difference to a lot of people. The coming of OLED will indeed differentiate the Pros with their Airs counterpart, but Apple needs to make a better job at advertising the other differentiating factors: Speaker, FaceID, faster wired thunderbolt 4 transfer speeds, M3 - specially if the M3 +OLED will lead to longer battery hours. I have one for the simple fact that it is the only 12.9 in the lineup and the one with the best screen. The current 12.9 is the only one in the lineup that sorta "makes sense", because it sits on its own category. On top of that, there isn't enough feature differentiation between the Air and the 11 inch IPP, confusing people on why they should pay more for the Pro over the Air (no, M1 vs M2 and a 500 nit LCD vs a 600 nit LCD - the two main differences, besides the other minor ones- are NOT sufficiently meaningful to warrant the price difference. In addition, the fact that the Mini, although smaller, is more expensive than the 9th and 10th generation iPad further messes up the value proposition of each item in the lineup. The main problem right now is the regular iPAD 9th and 10th generation sit in a size/form factor that is too close to the the current iPad Air and IPP 11 inch. Once that happens, I think the lineup will finally make sense. until they release the OLED IPPs that is. For those of you who think this will just further muddle up the entire iPad Lineup:
