Pro Owners: Would you still have purchased 12.7" Pro if there was also a 9.7" model?

Why does this Emoji 1360 show up in these replies? Here I see this about 7 times. Emoji looks like a Japanese word.

I'm not sure..

It should show up as an emoji. What device are you using?

iPad Pro

I am currently debating right now which size I should go with from my current Air 2 which I carry it everywhere in the house right now but rarely take it out. I'm interested in the Pro due to the pencil mainly for sketching. I'm leaning toward the 12.9 cause (as stated previously) it matches the size of my sketch pads. I can get a 12.9 128mb for 800 on eBay but I think I'm gonna get it at the Apple Store so I can try out for 14 days. If it's too big, I will return it for the smaller version. At least that's the game plan now.

That's a good plan

The thing about the 12.9 inch iPad Pro is this: It is difficult to accept the size of the 9.7" version after having played with the larger version. For about 3 days, I fought the urge to return my 9.7" iPad Pro and get the 12.9", but common sense prevailed and I kept the 9.7". If I had any artistic abilities, the 12.9" iPad Pro would be the obvious choice for me, but since I do not, the pros of the 9.7," in addition to my iPad usage, was the clear choice, and I'm so glad I didn't change my mind. Anyway, your plan is a good one, as stated above. Let us know which one you opted to get when you get it. Take care.

Yes. I've got the 12.9 for personal and the 9.7 for work. I hardly touch my 9.7. It doesn't feel like an "upgrade" over the Air to me, honestly.

Exactly why I opted out for the 12.9" Pro instead of the 9.7" Pro.

There above is that emoji thing. Is that some sort of code?

Nope, it's the usual emojis on iOS.

I'd still go for it.

The bigger screen size is the main draw. Even though the home screen doesn't make much use of it, when using 2 apps side-by-side, it really does help with productivity, and it also makes media consumption an absolutely joy.

As an added bonus, the 2 extra gigabytes of memory (for a total of 4GB) does definitely help with multitasking. Haven't experienced any serious slowdowns or lag and stutter when running Microsoft Word alongside Safari with a video playing in a window, all at the same time.

(Funny thing is that I went to see the 9.7-inch iPad Pro some time ago and when I saw it for the first time, I thought I was using the Mini, until I saw the camera hump at the back. Once you get used to the size of the Pro 12.9, the smaller iPads really do look small)

Bigger is always better. I recently percussed a 12.9 Pro and then gave my iPad Air 2 to my wife. I don't remotely miss it...

Absolutely best ipad to date I purchased the 4g model with 128gb and never looked back.

I want a bigger iPad than iPad Pro 12.9 , i need a 15 inch with 1 TB storage.

Woahhh!!!

Maybe you should get a 15" rMBP instead

 

[taeisme]

I don't think that I would want the smaller version, the screen is the perfect size for me.

I agree with you, 12.9" is perfect

Personally I love the extra screen real estate as my iPad rarely leaves the house, plus the speakers really change up the game on this beast!

Speakers really did change up the game! Imagine if they were front-facing speakers, boom.

First iPad ever was Pro 9.7 wifi version bought from Apple. Liked it so much I went with a 12.7 Pro with cellular from VZW. Each suits my particular needs at anytime. Fantastic devices.
