In the Apple Watch, the taptic engine uses a motor to mimic the feeling of being tapped or buzzed on the wrist. Initially made only by Chinese components maker AAC Technologies for the watch, the taptic engine was reportedly found to be defective, breaking down over time. That issue allegedly caused a delay in the launch of the watch, causing Apple to bring in a second manufacturer. The iPhone 6S and 6S Plus also use a motor to power a much-larger taptic engine. Though the purported bugs found in the initial engines for the Apple Watch seem to have been worked out, the technology itself is clearly a sophisticated and sensitive one, which could certainly account for the higher cost of AppleCare+ support.

On Wednesday, Apple introduced its latest and largest iPad, dubbed the iPad Pro . Outfitted with a 12.9-inch screen, the Pro is well-suited to run Microsoft Office software and dedicated apps from Adobe, Apple said. Accessories like the new Apple Pencil and a smart keyboard could add to the tablet's appeal to consumers and businesses. That would be a welcome turn for Apple. iPad sales and market share have been on the downturn for many months as more rival tablets have hit the market and as users hold onto their existing tablets or opt for big-screened phones as an alternative.

The iPad Pro also may not hit the mark as a laptop replacement, said Munster, He sees Apple's MacBook as a superior device for productivity and one that's almost as iphone xr twinkle - stardust portable as the Pro, Other analysts are less pessimistic than Munster about the iPad Pro's prospects, "We believe that the new iPad plus iOS 9 [software] features positions Apple well to take share in $500-$1,000 laptop category, which we estimated to be a $63 billion market opportunity," JP Morgan analyst Rod Hall said in an investors note out Thursday..

Looking at both the iPad Pro and the iPad Air 2, Hall predicts that Apple could sell as many as 19 million iPads (12 million of them the Pro models) to consumers looking at them as laptop replacements. If so, that could help Apple steal a 20 percent share from laptops priced between $500 and $1,000. The iPad Pro starts at $799 for 32 gigabytes of storage and Wi-Fi only, and goes up to $1,079 for a 128GB model with 4G LTE cellular connectivity. With its big new tablet, Apple is going "head to head with the full, notebook PC," said IHS analyst Lee Graham late Wednesday. Graham referred to the Pro as "fast and more agile" and sporting a higher screen resolution than most notebooks sold by Apple's rivals.
