Decided to purchase the 128GB version.
Probably more than I need, but it's better than 32GB.
Hoping I can get the Zagg keyboard since it costs way less than the Apple one.
Awesome, mate. If there's anything that you will never find in abundance, it is the RAM and the storage available to you.
Good choice.
Cheers!

You're fortunate you could afford the 128 gb. Going for the most gb is not always an option for many people.
I got the 128GB Space Grey WiFi only. I still wish I'd gotten the cellular version.
4GB of RAM is a lot, especially for an iOS device (4GB is normal for an Android device, 4GB on iOS is a lot).
4GB on iOS is only a lot because Apple puts in the very least amount of RAM they can into their devices. The Pro is the first one that's actually had a decent amount of RAM and it's *amazing* how well it works. Safari tabs don't need constant reloading, apps reload so quickly, etc. Sure, some of that might be related to the processor, but RAM most certainly helps the iOS and other apps work better.
So if the least amount, in this case 4 GB, is "amazing" in regard to how well it works on the iPad Pro, why is it a negative? 2 GB of RAM on my iPhone 6S Plus works amazingly well, in my opinion. Would it be nice to have 4 GB RAM on it? Sure, but it's not necessary for a majority of iPhone users.
Where did I say that it was a negative? I said the 4 GB was amazing on it. And I guess its my bad for forgetting the "usually" in front of 'puts in'. The Pro is the first iPad that finally has enough RAM to make iOS work phenomenally and the iPad Pro fly.
And great that your iPhone 6S Plus works great with 2GB of RAM. Maybe it's because they figured out that 1GB wasn't enough, as the iPhone 6 only had 1GB and they upped it within a year. My iPad Air could certainly have benefited from 2GB of RAM. But, it wasn't a priority with Apple to make sure the Air had enough RAM to do the fun things the Air 2 could. At the time it was built, 1GB was determined sufficient for iOS 7, even though I have to reload tabs if I open more than a couple in Safari; I don't get the better multitasking and whatnot, because 1GB just can't handle it. And, even though the iPad 2 can load up iOS9, everything just chhhuuuuuuugs along because its only got 512MB. Again, because that was deemed adequate enough to run iOS 4 at the time.
Here's the deal. I have Apple products. I like my Apple products. I recommend Apple products to others. That doesn't mean I can't criticize Apple when they make decisions because they're looking for a bigger profit. RAM has been pretty cheap for a while now. They should have added a little extra to the devices that would have really benefited from it and made them a bit more futureproof. It's not as if many people aren't upgrading their devices every year or two as it is. It would have helped out those who can't afford to do so.
You did not "say" it was a negative, but you implied it when you stated the following: "4 GB is only a lot because Apple puts in the least amount of RAM they can into their devices".Where did I say that it was a negative?
Yes, you did say that it was amazing and I followed up by asking the following: "So if the least amount, in this case 4 GB, is amazing..." That is acknowledging your reference to amazing.I said the 4 GB was amazing on it. And I guess its my bad for forgetting the "usually" in front of 'puts in'. The Pro is the first iPad that finally has enough RAM to make iOS work phenomenally and the iPad Pro fly.
It could also be business 101. If you're going to maintain a product line, introduce the product with improvements incrementally.And great that your iPhone 6S Plus works great with 2GB of RAM.

No company is beyond criticism, but neither are questionable comments......mine included.Here's the deal. I have Apple products. I like my Apple products. I recommend Apple products to others.
