Just bought 12.9” this morning 1TB with magic keyboard . It’s pretty sweet

Love the down to Earth, honest approach review for us regular people that just want to use the iPad, as an iPad! Great vid.

I upgraded from the gen 5 iPad to the iPad Pro 11 inch today and even within a few hours it is a completely different device and I am beyond in love

Great video, Jerry. I really do enjoy listening to your take on things. Thank you for not boring us with the usual benchmarks that other reviewers waste their (and our) time on. Instead your format took on an honest and laidback approach, kind of like a friend giving us their opinion. While Apple took the world by surprise from including their famed M1 chip in the iPad Pro, I agree with you in that it will all have been for nothing if iPadOS 15 does not bring anything substantial to the table at WWDC this year.

I have it and I love it.
I only use it for basic purposes.
M1, 11 inch, 128 gb

Great review… it’s refreshing to see a tech channel that has none of the usual tropes and click bait tricks, especially relating to apple products, just subscribed

Holding the 12.9" Pro is like holding the screen of the MacBook.

I don’t really need the best iPad. I don’t even shot or edit videos on my iPad. But based on your recommendation, I am buying it today.

Had to do a double take - I thought the video was buffering then realized I was looking at ur shirt and that the video was paused 🤣🤣 thank u for acknowledging that it’s still...an iPad and not life changing. Wound up with a 2020 pro; iOS 15 will determine if a 2021 upgrade is worth the hassle

Multiple users support would be nice on the new iPad OS, 🤞

[younesouslimane]

Man, you’re GOOD! I enjoyed watching your videos. Your attention to details is much appreciated. Kudos.

Just got mine new 12.9 IPad Pro yesterday. Love it! Trying to find some design apps for it! Thanks.

I saw the demo version and I decided to buy it for reading, research and writing. It’s incredibly fast and would contribute to my workflow.

Just make the MacBook Air with a touchscreen with MAC OS.

I had the original iPad Pro and loved it but this takes it to another level. It’s my go to device and I have a Win desktop and laptop for work. But the IPad Pro is just what I use for both work and my time. One Note is an awesome tool that allows you to take advantage of the pencil and it works between the windows version and the ipad version. Can’t say enough good things about my Pro.

I'm getting the 11 inch tomorrow looking forward to it upgrading from a 8th gen iPad

The new screen tech is cool, but I was hoping for OLED.

[remember]

Everyone saying the 12.9 looks big. But it's actually almost the same size as a surface pro

[candylisous]

Thank you! Everyone keeps talking about the 12.9 just because of the mini LED with some saying not to buy it but no one is talking about just buying it for its size. As if people didn't buy the 12.9 pro previously for its size. I'm an artist and I most likely won't be using the full extent of the mini-LED but I also just want it for its larger screen size. It still depends what people prefer to spend the extra money on, but that would be the same case if it didn't have mini-LED. So even if the mini-LED isn't of use to you and you want to buy it for its size go right ahead. And same goes if you don't want to buy it.

Depending on what is shown on Apple’s Tuesday Event, I’m 80% sure I’m getting the 12.9in iPad Pro. I’ve been trying to talk myself out of it but it’s the one I really want to complement my 13in MacBook Pro. I work from home and go to school online so I’m not necessarily worried about portability. I’ve had two iPad Mini’s and an Air in the past and wasn’t entirely happy with them because of the lack of screen real estate. But worse case scenario, I can always return it within 14 days if I don’t like it.
