As someone who watches a lot of tech content, this video is great. I appreciate you actually making this video. It seems to be a topic that's less covered than it should be. As someone who has had a 12.9in ipad for about two years now, I've been considering getting a smaller iPad. The 12.9 is big and that's great for somethings, but for many other things, it's not. So I think that when people are shopping for these two iPad's this type of content is helpful and should be more prevalent because I don't think many people realize how BIG the 12.9 is in day to day use.

Thanks again, keep up the good work. You got my Sub!

I have my 12.9 iPad for 1.5 years now and all I can say is…12.9 all the way - Wouldn’t be able to do all the multitasking and drawings I do on an 11 inch iPad. 12.9 is actually very portable too so don’t worry about carrying it around as it’s perfectly fine! If you can afford it, go for the 12.9, you won’t regret it

I’ve enjoyed the 11inch iPad for a few years. For me, it’s the sweet spot for my smaller hands.

Great comparison! Though you did miss a little detail... the 11" model does also have a 120hz ProMotion display. Great video nonetheless :D

I got the air before and upgraded to the ipad pro 12.9. I love the big screen for browsing and watching videos, but it is not nice for browsing in bed when your sleepy or it will leave a big mark on your face when it falls 😂.

Thank you, I’m 75 and was undecided on which new iPad to get, I watch Netflix series and movies because my husband hogs the TV all day with Gunsmoke, so since he’s buying it for my birthday 🥳 I’ll take your advice and go with the 12.9. Sometimes bigger is better!🎉

Thank you for helping make a decision on which iPad Pro to buy. Show the iPads next to each other really help see how much bigger the 12.9 inch really is.

I prize the 11" M1 256GB WiFi + Cellular as personal business travel tech. The sheer portability can't be beaten.

nicely done! very measured, cogent video that covers most of what folks would want to know about the differences between these 2

I use the 11in 8th gen Ipad. With a reference photo + the menu´s, there is not much room to draw! I mostly use it for drawing so a bigger screen would really help. 12.9 would be perfect.

Had and enjoyed the M1 12.9 for over two years, but recently traded it in for the M2 11. Needs changed and the smaller size fit better. 14 MBP and an 11 iPad Pro make a great mobile office combo!

Hey bud, thanks for making this video, it really is going to help me choose.

I was thinking of the 12.9 inch, but it seems like the 11 inch is the better value.

[jarnoldja]

Love my 12.9 pro! I sold my 11’ to get the 12.9. The display is incredible! I definitely go through battery faster than the 11. Gotta be due to the larger screen? The Apple Pencil is a must!

[senselessscott]

Dang...got to get you to that 1000 subs. Here you go for 1! Thank you for the content. Keep it up. Nice production quality. Good pace, direct, etc. Good job. All the best!

[deanusmanus]

Thanks for the review & recommendations!

I love the screen on my 12.9 M1 but I’m slightly disappointed with the battery life, I was expecting a little better. Battery life seems no better than my 4 year old Air 3. Overall I’m happy with the Pro though, it gives me a portable big screen multimedia device for my occasional hotel stays.

Logitech keyboard case for iPad gives your device better protection is cheaper and has a keyboard as well.

[Lightcode]

Thank you very much. I’ve been deciding whether I want to upgrade because I like to use mine as an artist and the smaller size is not so heavy and good in the laptop. What I wasn’t anticipating when I first bought it this spring was how much I would use it for watchingvideos. I haven’t turned the TV on in three months!
