it definitely can be, but I had a 13" ipad when they first released them and it was pretty glorious for full pages. I can only imagine what it would look like on the oled. But back then the downside was definitely the weight/bulk, so the thinness and weight reduction sounds pretty awesome now.
Excited to get mine tomorrow! I'm ready to get it in my hands and see how thin it truly feels. The reviews all say how insane it feels in your hands, being so thin.

Ah man… I really wanted this new keyboard 😭
So I know they cut down on the specs for the smaller storage options but I'll be good with a 13" 512GB, right? I'm aiming for that with the Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard and that's obviously already pretty damn expensive so I don't really want to spend even more for the 1TB if I can help it.
Will you be good this year? 100% yes to a comical degree, the difference might be objectively impossible to feel unless your workflow involves on-location film production levels of sophistication where you're tracking 3-4 different video feeds at once and you need to go back and forth between Final Cut and other similar apps.
Will you be good in 3+ years when iPadOS may or may not get more advanced? Yeah, it's still a fucking iPad, you'll still almost certainly be fine. There might be some cache switching between apps or whatever but it'll be fast.
Will you be good if the Wizard of Oz grants Apple enough courage to allow macOS to run on iPad? Okay then you might feel the RAM difference if you're running a couple or more professional applications at once, but this is the copium timeline. If this is what you hope for, then bring a handkerchief to WWDC to be ready for almost assured disappointment, but at least you'll be able to tell yourself that your RAM is fine.
I'm getting the 512GB too and I'm not even sweating it even a little bit. Worst case scenario for me is that I live in a magic timeline where macOS gets release on iPad, I'm running real for-grownups Photoshop, and I'm switching between a bunch of apps and I feel the cache load sometimes.
Didn't take a crystal ball to guess what the reviews would be like, to be fair. 😂
I randomly went shopping for an iPad upgrade, I'm a musician and my 9th Gen iPad has been incredible for sheet music. My eyesight isn't getting better and I want to go bigger, the last few times I checked the 12" Pros were well out of my price range. I was beyond pleased to see a Big-ass 13" Air is releasing this week! I'm fully onboard and plan to trade in my 9th gen in a few days.
I have some questions:
I'm thinking 256gb will be enough? what are the most common uses for higher storage on and iPad? 80% of my use will be loading .pdfs into ForScore, I'll use it for FTL and Stardew Valley, I'd like to stream my steam deck to it and I'll probably upgrade to a pro pencil for doodling in procreate. If there are compelling reasons for higher storage I'm not thinking of I'd love to hear them.
I have an aging PC that I use for very basic image and video editing (small projects like posters and cutting together clips, other than that it's a Youtube/Restera Machine. I do all my gaming on steam deck. I'd like to make the Ipad my resetera/youtube machine instead but I don't think I can move away from my two-monitor setup after so many years. But I also think between the Deck and maybe if I got a magic keybaord I could make it work for me?
Also what about a case? It's likely to get knocked around so I'll want to put something heavier on it and definitely a screen protector
edit: I'm currently using 32gb on my 9th gen so I think that answers the storage question

Speaking of Wizard of Oz type shit, what are the odds that at WWDC or something similar Apple would (assuming it was even in the cards) announce something like a dual boot option? I just want hopium.
something negative number , why would they put a MacOS on an M4 Ipad? no one would buy the Macbook lol
I have a first gen 11 pro and iirc it still displayed full pages
What a great article on the issues of using an iPad Pro to do "real computer" work.

Yeah, reviews basically confirm an upgrade from a 2018 is basically pointless unless you're struggling with something. Even then, I'd still have impulse bought one if it wasn't for the absurd keyboard price.
Sucks they moved the magnets for whatever reason. Obviously wasn't to accommodate the camera change since it's there for the Air. But if they hadn't have done that, then they'd have gotten a purchase from me most likely. And there's even stock left at my local Apple Store.
Really hope the rumoured big changes at WWDC happen.

No specifics, just that there are some to help actually use the power of these M powered iPads.
I have ordered both an ipad pro 13 for myself, and an ipad 10 for my wife. Both trading in previous devices. Today one trade in pack arrived but it just has an address label on and I can't tell easily which one its for - can't see an order number matching my order. Is there a way to tell which is which?
I'd guess this one is for the ipad 8 becuase that was due to be delivered today (I bumped to tomorrow as I wasn't going to be at home), but I don't want to mix them up.
Also I have the original box for the ipad pro (and the shipping box it came in) can I just put the sticky label on that for extra protection or do I have to use their less secure cardboard sleeve?

Jesus, I don't even understand what power adapter to buy for a Pro 11"
I was going to buy that 30W one, as it seemed it would charge faster, but I'm not even sure it's compatible and if I should buy a special USB cable.

In the US the 20W charger comes in the box, but it can support faster charging than that. I saw in one of the reviews it goes up past 30. 37 I think? I would get the 30W personally.
I'm completely out of the loop, I don't have an iphone and my last ipad was a pro 2017 with thunderbolt.
USB-C cable and at least a 20W charger. You can restrict the "charging essentials" category by device to make it easier…Jesus, I don't even understand what power adapter to buy for a Pro 11"

It's just rated for 240w. Nothing's going to actually use that from Apple I don't think.
The iPad will draw only about 30 watts. You can use other chargers. Apple doesn't just sell iPads!
Do yourself a financial favor and buy a ugreen charger on Amazon:Jesus, I don't even understand what power adapter to buy for a Pro 11"

Previous iPad Pro's charged between 30 to 35W max, so any charger over that is useless to you. Anything under that will charge slower. None higher or lower will break your iPad, it will charge with whatever the maximum it can do and the adapter can provide.
Hm, still looking for the perfect case for my new iPad Pro 11".
Need a case that not only covers the corners.

Being able to move around the iPad in the case sounds interesting, but why would I do that if I can just move the whole iPad/case? Speaking as someone who does that when reading manga and whenever there's a two page spread I switch the iPad from portrait to landscape mode.

Ah too bad. I actually hoped that I could still use my old Magic Keyboard with the new iPad Pro. :/
Yeah, I was also convinced that I would finally upgrade from my 2018 iPad Pro to this new one, but now I'm not so sure anymore. The increased prices and the need to rebuy all your accessories make it a pretty steep upgrade price overall while the benefits mostly seem to amount to a "well it's still an iPad and does the same things" basically.
If I could reuse my old Pencil and Magic Keyboard I would have impulse upgraded, but spending an additional 550€ just to get the same accessories I have now and throwing out my perfectly fine old accessories seems excessive.
They really need to show something convincing at WWDC for me to upgrade.
Yeah, if I could use my old magic keyboard, that was going to be my justification to YOLO it. I mean, technically the old one might still work with a little bit of masking tape…. 😂
Those are some pretty damn strong magnets, you'll be needing a lot of duct tape to get that to stick.
I remember because I once tried to do this with an iPad 11-inch on a 12.9-inch Magic Keyboard for shits and giggles, just to see if it would work.
For the record, it did work for the few seconds I got the connector to line up properly.
Thanks but a bit too pricey. :D
What I meant to say above is that I'm looking for something that not only covers the corners.
My previous case for my old iPad Pro was this ESR one that I got for 20€.
Yes. I think in the US its an equivalent of a $100 bump vs the previous 256GB. In the UK its a £70 drop but we're an anomaly
Even if the magnets weren't an issue, it won't close properly and I would be worried about damaging the thinner iPad.
Yep. All the reviews state the loud click is gone.
thank fuck. This damn thing is like a Popomatic(tm) board game
Yep! I missed their video review of it this year. I watched Dave2D's review and I'm very surprised he got the cable thing wrong (13" only has the black USB-C cable when the 11" gets it as well - Apple just provided him an 11" iPad Pro in silver so it came with the standard white cable).
Can't wait to pick mine up tomorrow from the store!
That video was not great. I mean, was it even a review? It was mostly just him discussing his own needs. Pretty useless.
Could be worse. I saw some of iJustine's
I did see her at the most critical of Apple she's ever been. She rolled her eyes because there was no sticker in the box!!
