Haters have the most incredibly stupid lives.
People live, and enjoy the things they like.
Haters spend time on things they don't like. Doesn't that take away from your positive time?

Simon, 16 Nov 2015What exactly can you transfer through it? Files? No. Just basic multimedia, only through Itunes.Read. The reply was to a comment that said you cannot transfer data. This is not true.
Also direct file transfers have been available for yonks, admittedly via iTunes. Where have you guys been?

The problem with ignorance is that sooner or later you start believing your own stuff.
And why do you need to be one camp or the other anyway? I enjoy stuff from any company that produces good stuff. I think you guys are stupid. Do you agree?

Anonymous, 16 Nov 2015What you guys never seem to get is that it is not just about features, it is about solutions. ... moreHow do you transfer files without iTunes though? Pay for an app and buy an accessory? Rip-off! You're paying for too many things that you should natively have. Rich or poor, this is not the solution. 2-in-1s should have the best of both worlds. In iPad's case, its a 2-in-1+1+1+1+1+1+1, just so you can be productive. Lame! And you just swallow everything Apple serves you.

Believe me, if the Samsung Galaxy Pro did its job well, someone or some industry would have picked it up and it would have remained a mainstay.
Recently Disney animators tested out the iPad Pro and said that palm rejection was perfect, speed was unbelievable and powerful to cope with high requirements of animation industry.
These are normal people, who need the best tools to achieve their tasks and goals, not people with some secret agenda.

TheNeighbor, 15 Nov 2015I still use my Note 3 with micro USB 3.0. It's two years old. This is revolutionary?
One up... moreYup

They always compare iPad Pro with Surface/real PC-tablet/ instead, because that's their task, to suggest that it's real PC replacement. LOL
'One upon a time (almost two years ago), there was already a Samsung Galaxy Pro 12.2. It came with a Pen. It was also compatible with USB 3.0'
- , but the media was only mocking at the size back then.

Anonymous, 15 Nov 2015Type c is a connector standard and not a usb standard. Technically usb-c is usb 3.1 I think!Type-c is the shape of the charger/slot and nothing more.
2 or 3.0 or 3.1 is the speed of it and how fast it would charge.
3.1 is said to be twice as fast as 3.0 (but that won't happen so easily due to other bottlenecks, like if the devices are fast enough to support that kind of speed).
While type-c can support 3.1, most devices only use 3.0 or 2.0 still.
Currently, there isn't a lightning cable that supports 3.0 so people can't use it for the iPad just yet.

Simon, 15 Nov 2015Well, even Apple couldnt market that, sińce You can't transfer data through cable on iOS anyway.What are you on about? That's the cable and port you use if you sync with computers. Of course you can transfer data.

Imagine this: Someone is curious about whether something is true, but is unable to discover that for themselves (for whatever reason). So they make contact with the source of their curiosity to confirm whether the curiosities they have are true or not. See, nothing was discovered in that hypothetical scenario, but was still asked to be confirmed.

If neither of tho... moreThe cited source claims that apple has confirmed to them the findings of ifixit which are visible to anyone with an iPad pro. So yes, an Apple representative of some sort would have confirmed it.
That much is obvious from this article saying Apple confirmed the findings. Unless you think its false? You think that Tim Cook must stand up with an Apple Mac in his hand and swear in Jobs' name in live television for it to count as confirmation? Many things are confirmed through tech journalists.

Why they didn't use USB-C ? It would be neat to be the first iDevice to have that.
Maybe they wanted to maintain compatibility with current accessories. Or maybe it is just apple and their proprietary bu... stuff.
