Now we have the iPad Air and the iPad mini with Retina Display... question I have now... What is next for Apple on the tablet front?

I have to admit, I'm a little disappointed this next gen of Apple tablets does not include Touch ID! What else do you think Apple could or would pack into a next gen tablet at both the 'full' and 'mini' size?

I don't know but I will say it's just like with the iPad 3; it's like the iPad 4th generation did not exist now.

I think the next iPad in their line up will be the iPad Pro with its 12" display. Given that they are now calling the 9.7" one the iPad Air I think having a iPad Pro drop in a couple of months is a strong possibility.

The cynic in me says baby steps in feature sets sells multiple devices over the years...

Totally agree

iPad Pro would make a lot of sense. Would be interesting if it pushed storage to 256GB and somehow had multi window capability to allow for better workflow for say professional photography, or video editing even.

What about something as simple as a USB or mini USB slot? Is it so hard for them To add that?

Difficult? Probably not. But they won't.

Because they haven't .

Not needed

Why not needed? Having extra gb ain't needed? What if one to get a 16gb?

Because allowing for USB or other external storage or internal storage via an SD card introduces many other variables on quality, etc. and Apple likes to have control over their devices and doesn't want people complaining about the iPhone or iPad when the problem is a low quality, after market add-on.

So they won't.

True that. There are always issues with for example,Android phones and SD card compatibility.

Apple's whole ipad line pricing model is based on different levels of storage. So nope, they won't add an option to add external storage. That would be a bit silly for them.

BTW..I don't see this ipad pro happening. Some even think it's a couple of months away? A nonretina ipad pro? 12"? I'm thinking they need to fix iOS 7 first for ipads.

I would like to see a speaker on both ends of the iPad for better stereo sound...

A 4K screened 11-12" retina Pro iPad would be amazing!

first of all next gen ipad must have touch id features , may be similar replacement to mac book air , camera improvement

[LCW]

A flash would be nice.

I doubt that hardware wise we'll see a new shape in the next years, I feel like Apple has reached the max in thinness and lightness for a long time. So what remains is news on the feature front, which sounds exciting to me. I think we're gonna see some cool new things in the next year(s), that sort of 'innovation' most 'pundits' cry out for.

OS X has had some great app integration with iOS. Apple has done a much better job of bringing a unified experience than Microsoft in this regard.

I'd really like to see a transformer from them. Switching between iOS and OS X on the fly? That's a pipe dream maybe but the two environments are so similar that if anyone could make it happen, it would be Apple.
