    You are in a lecture where you don't have printed handouts (Which is the new "green" policy at many universities). There is a diagram (or picture). You don't have the diagram (or picture printed) but you get the powerpoint slides (or pdf). Good luck replicating the diagram and take notes as the lecturer speaks. This is distraction.
    You can print 100 slides a day if you prefer, or try to take notes using a $1 stylus without accuracy and palm rejection for 3-4 years. Your hate for apple is blinding you.

      With so much cash in hands, why not to build iPhone killer, and destroy competition? :)

        And besides, GOOD note taking apps are out there for YEARS. They work with or without the NEED of iPad Pro Pencil palm rejection. A normal iPad equip with a normal $1 touch stylist is more then enough for student usage.

        However pen and paper still the best, less distraction.

Lecture slides involve pictures and diagrams. You take notes as a lecturer talks about a specific slide. good luck doing this on a paper (that doesn't have the slides printed on it).

              Mate, google made a living from selling personal data and from using it, its a service company. Apple is not, they dont have an use for the data.

                  Like Apple doesn't spy on us? And billions of people all over the world uses Google services like their Search, Gmail, Maps, and YouTube. As long as we log online, we are being spied on. Facebook does the same thing. You will be shocked how much info FB has on us. Or any social network for that matter. Any OS can be hacked into. The Fappening/iCloud hacking, anyone?

                  The best way to never be hacked into? Never put any information on a computer and online. Log out, turn off the computer, unplug it. Hackers can even use the front camera on your phone to spy on you. Check the 60 Minutes short on hacking phones. Don't be so gullible that iOS is 100% safe. None of them are.

                      Guys, don't fight. I am an iPhone user but I have also used Android phones and tablets on the side. Android is a pretty good system and for many people their daily driver. It is not for me as a primary phone because it is not fast, stable and consistent enough but not everyone have my usage. There is no wrong choice picking based on personal preference

                                  Fantastic news I guess. The 8 will look good too. Congrats but not surprised at those prices. However the other flagships and what's still to come, are truly giving savvy shoppers now more enlightened reason to stop and pause, so as to be more discerning in their choices in late 2017. The offerings are beautiful and first class and financially more friendly. Eg, Pixel 2. Nokia and possibly U11 etc. Choose wisely.

Sooo smooth, sooo fast. The 120 htz display is reason enough to get it over other devices. Yes it is expensive but worth every cent.
