    Is the iPad Pro Less of a Cloud Client and More of a Stand Alone Computer?

      That's a good example. I would guess that that kind of use case is on the rarer side. Clearly I do some of that myself, but the compression times are pretty fast as it is for how most people do it, I think. Only a small number of users really impacted there.

        I do have to admit the split screen would be nice.

          The split screen is definitely a neat feature. That is very welcome.

              Don't the features come on the smaller screens too, just not as useful? Everything with iOS 9 will get the side by side features, I am guessing.

                No, only the iPad Air 2, Mini 4, and Pro get full split screen functionality.

                The iPad Air and Mini 2&3 get a less capable split screen.

                  Okay, so it's partially device dependent and not totally an iOS feature.

                        Why hold back? Opposing opinions matter.

                          They weren't constructive in the way I had them phrased. I'll work on rephrasing them so they add to the thread and not drag it down

                            Righto, so here's the less flammable version:

                            1. Split Screen: How did it take Apple so long to catch up with this? Android (specifically Samsung) and Windows have had this for years. Is there something different/better about Apple's implementation of it?
                            2. Stylus: Not overly useful to the masses as it looks geared towards creative people (i.e. not the general populace). Seems a bit odd to take the time to reinvent the wheel.
                            3. iPad pro: It sounds a bit pretentious but at least they didn't call it iPad Elite

                              I know a lot changes in 8 years but it's still funny.

                                With that last post You are comparing phone to tablet. Two different things.

                                  sure, but I know many people who love their pen on their Note 5. Is a phablet a phone?

                                    Split screen is not being heralded as a big new thing, but as an improvement in user friendliness. Design choice opposed to catch up.

                                    It is not just a stylus. It contains various sensors designed to work specifically with the new screen. Is it better or worse than what Wacom will come out with? No idea. It is squarely aimed at the more than casual user market.

                                    And all of the android names are better?

                                      Not to me, no.

                                      You also have to recall what that 2007 announcement was comparing against.

                                          I see how you have drawn that conclusion but I don't believe that is what was originally intended.
                                          Look at it a bit like this:
                                          1st image Apple promote ditching the stylus
                                          2nd image Apple have built a stylus (type device) and are promoting its purchase.

                                          If anything, it's an unfair comparison between touch screen technologies
