How are you liking your 5th Gen (2017) iPad?

[mogelijk]

Since it has now been a few months, I'm curious how people are liking their new iPads? Is it still as fast and responsive as when you bought it? Are you having trouble or are disappointed in how the iPad is working?

In my case, I've been quite happy with my iPad. It still is fast and works very well. I've had iOS 11 on my iPad for the last month and a half, or so, and it seems to do quite well -- and I like the changes they've made for the iPad. While I still wish it had anti-glare protection, I haven't had any real issues, knew that it could be an issue, and installed a screen protector to help. I have no complaints about the screen brightness or colors.

So, what has your experience been like?

I don't have the 5th gen iPad, but I sure as heck still enjoy using my original 9.7" iPad Pro.......Anyway, hopefully those who currently have the 5th get iPad will reply soon.

I've got the new 5th gen iPad & I still love it & I use it everyday too. It's still nice & fast, haven't noticed any slow down. I love how it launches games super quick it's quicker than my phone lol.

Got 32 gb space gray from Verizon few months ago and loving it. My first experience with Apple. Understand why people say iOS runs smooth. IOS 11Is working great. Still trying to check things out. Anyway hoping to get 8 Plus in 2 weeks.Got Apple TV too. Am slowly buying into eco system.

I have mine for 3 months already, and quite liking it, in combination with a physical keyboard from Logitech it has become my go-to computational device for work, since most of my work only involves word processing and spreadsheets, the iPad has become more than sufficient, I rarely open my laptop now unless i need to type in huge amount of numbers in my shop management app.

That’s great to hear! A lot of people are starting to replace their computers with iPads.

Apple should really bundle these things with slim functional keyboards, not another chic afterthought like the smart keyboards but the rigid ones you can actually use to use the ipad on your lap, would really launch these devices further IMO

Apple probably had lightness and portability in mind.

Really good considering the value for money. Although some compromises are there such as the screen, it's fast and works well.

Well I just picked up my first iPad yesterday. $50 off up here in Canada with our lame Black Friday sales.
So far I am really impressed and enjoying it. I only wanted an iPad for browsing and such. I think this will do perfectly.
Now I am completely invested into the Apple ecosystem. Just a few months ago I was am Android/Chrome fanboy. Now I am rocking a MacBook, 8+, and the iPad. Should be set now!!!

You are getting there! Now you just need an Apple Watch, Airpods, and or/ Beats.

Got one last week. Very happy.
Coming from an Air 2 which lost an argument with the tile floor the difference is limited so I wouldn’t have upgraded but to buy new it’s nice

Enjoy it.

Ooo you guys are a bad influence. It was hard enough convincing the other half getting the new iPad so close to Xmas.
But....there won’t be any giving up. There is always something else I can get!

Everyone deserves treats...very often, especially treats. Very healthy for you apparently!
