Except there are two iPad Pro sizes and one of them is the same size as the new basic iPad 9.7'. And the iPad Mini is now more expensive than a basic iPad 9.7' but are slower, but only come in a large storage option.

I love Apple. Read my other posts defending the iPad as a productivity device on this discussion, and defending the cleanness if the iPhone lineup, but the current iPad lineup is all over the place.

I think you're missing the rumours on the new 10.5" iPad Pro. Hold your judgement before that. What if the future product lines are only iPad and iPad Pro? With iPad at 7.9" and 9.7", iPad Pro at 10.5" and 12"? Many have said that the 10.5" iPad Pro would be the 12"'s resolution at 326 ppi, and I think thats reasonable.

If that were coming out any time soon, I'd have expected it to be launched alongside the other changes to the lineup. But adding my anityercscreen size option by itself does nothing to reduce the confusion in the current lineup.
