I suspect that I’m not the only one who wanted to place a pre-order for a new iPad, but has decided to wait until they can hold the devices side by side (in my case I still have a shopping cart ready to order for the 512GB 11”).
My personal iPad is a 10.5” Pro, and work was kind enough to get me a 12.9” Pro (the first generation). Both are wonderful devices, and will continue to be used in my family and work no doubt.
I travel quite a bit, and have to make the call to only take one of the devices with me (sometimes I find myself unable to compromise and take both, along side my 13” MacBook Pro). One key point in favour of the 11” is that airlines will let you continue to use it during takeoff and landing, where the 12.9” is viewed as a laptop size device and must be put away. That said, the 12.9” allows so much productivity with split screen and slide over, I do miss it when I only have the 10.5”.
I suspect i’ll end up with the 11”, but won’t know for sure until I hold them both and tinker for a little bit. And yes I’m aware I can pre-order then send the unit i get back, this just doesn’t feel right to me at some level, given it’s most likely a 50/50 call.
Can’t wait to check them both out in store and make a call, also the new smart keyboard seems like what I’ve been waiting for.
