I couldn’t help myself, I was at the store today, a new 10.5 iPad Pro was also at the store.........let’s just say I didn’t go home alone
I figured it end up relenting in 6 months time regardless, and not pay any less for the privilege (and also get less for selling my old 9.7” iPad Pro, that is if my wife doesn’t mandate it is hers).
For me it was the side (ie perfect) and also Pro Motion (I didn’t believe the hype until I had it in my hands). It is like seeing retina for the first time, going back to my 9.7” Pro (that I was perfectly happy with this morning) is like stepping back in time.....very odd.
One tip, if purchasing from an Apple Store, they do have a corporate and government discount program, I work for a fairly large company in Australia so just mentioning the name got me approx $50 off. Worth a shot if you didn’t already know about this program.
