Went in to buy the 9.7", walked out with the 12.9"

[runner7395]

Went in to the Apple store to get upgrade my wife's iPad Air a couple days ago. We played around with the new iPad Pro but just couldn't see a big enough difference to justify spending the money for the upgrade. Then, only because it was right next to it we played with the larger pro. The same one I have made fun of since it came out. After a few minutes we both ended up liking it. She only uses it for media consumption, watching movies, Netflix etc. Sooooooo, we walked out with not one, but TWO of them. I ended up getting one for myself too! Only had it for 3 days so far but I'm really enjoying it. Amazing how quickly I went from making fun of something to buying 2 of them.

Congrats on your new iPad Pro (The BIG one )....ENJOY

It really is a great device. There are some things I'd like to see Apple implement but for the most part it has replaced my laptop. I haven't touched it since I got the Pro. I use my for personal (media consumption) as well as school.

Enjoy!

You will like the 12.9 version.

I guess size does matter???

Basically the same thing happened to me. I wanted the smaller iPad and my son convinced me to try the larger one. I am happy to say, my son was right.

The 12.9" is a great device, for sure, but don't say there isn't an huge difference from an iPad Air to the new Pro 9.7", because it's just not true.

The iPad Pro 9.7" couldn't be a tremendous upgrade for an Air 2 owner, but it's night and day from the old Air....

That's what she said... :big-hug:

I made fun of the original iPad when it first came out. Thought it looked sleek and sexy and all but didn't understand use cases for it. I remember taking a joke pic with it on my ear when I was testing one for work. Now I love my iPad and use it more than my MBP.

Congratulations on getting your new iPad. Enjoy it...

Yep. I always said: good product but not for me.
Having played with it for a couple of hours I would say: great product but too expensive for me

Really? the air 2 has terrible vibrating speakers, screen distortion and lots had bad light bleed so i would say it would be a good upgrade if you are after a 9'7". I had all those problems sold it and got the 12.9" and its the best iPad i have had, and i have had them all.

Go big or go home, right? Congrats on the new iPad Pro

I haven't seen any screen distortion or light bleeding on any Air 2 I used, so I still consider the iPad Air 2 as a great product (especially at a discounted price).
The iPad Pro 12.9" is almost flawless, but it's a little too big for some users.

Well i had 2 and they both had it, terrible vibrating speakers too, hardware wise worst iPad yet.

Congrats on the iPad Pro. Awesome device

Congrats, enjoy.

You just got two lemons then....

Speakers vibrate by nature, otherwise they couldn't work. You are just speaking about a light and thin rear case resonating. That's not a defect, since sound doesn't distort in any way.

lol, I did the same.
I wanted the pencil but not such a big tablet. I mean, who need sooo a big tablet? So I wait until the 9.7" came out.
But when I search where to buy one, I found an offer for the 12.9 for mostly the same price. So, I went into a shop, already knowing that It will be to big, to heavy and now I have one.
And what happened afterwards? When I now take my air, I am suprised how small it is, so small, to small... :rotfl:
