Yeah, I get you - I've had people describe it as 'monstrous' and 'massively sized', but once you've got used to it, it doesn't feel that big - everything else seems small in comparison.

You're right. I have big hands but I think im going to go back to the apple store and check it out ONCE again haha. Does it feel weird using it in public though? The big ipad pro?
same me too ! guess im gonna get the 11 inch since ill use it a lot in public transportation and outside
I use mine in public all the time. Coffee shops, restaurants, parks, airplanes, etc. It's not THAT big. It's still smaller than a laptop, so if you can imagine taking a laptop somewhere, the 13" iPad is easier than that.
11" has a different aspect ratio?? I though they were all 4:3. I went with the. 12.9 for larger overall area but I watch a lot of 16:9 video - so for that are they closer in size?
Just slightly.
The new 11" is 4.3:3, so it's not a huge difference, and honestly the bigger screen, IMO, is more useful than the slightly wider aspect ratio.
The fact is the 11 and 13 are sick but you need to go to the Apple store and hold them and decide what hat fits YOU.
Idon't regret the 11 in the slightest in fact I might like it over a 13 but all of my next screens will be as big as possible. Tech has just gotten so much better that the negatives are not there like they used to be.
But soon we will have a foldable iPad and this will be irrelevant lol

Thanks for everybody help - just ordered an ipad pro 11!!

It's a hell of a lot better than sticking a massive case over it though.
I love the official Apple keyboard folio case for my Pro 11. Yes it's stupid expensive but it's super thin and really easy to remove the ipad when you need to use it commando. The only issue I have is the magnets don't hold the pencil securely enough for my liking.
There is no better case than the Zugu case. Is it expensive? Yes. Will it keep your iPad and Apple Pencil extremely safe? Yes.
I use and love the ootterbox case sold at Apple and honestly really like it. I didn't at first til I realized how nicely the flaps work.
its called symmetry series 360

My advice is: hide the beauty of the iPad. You're paying a lot of money. Protect your money.
better for video maybe, but what else? i love the 12:9's aspect ratio for multitasking and productivity. i think it depends what you want to use the ipad for — it's not like the 11-inch has an objectively better ratio that apple was too lazy to implement on both.
i went from the original 12.9 to the 10.5 to the 12.9, and this is definitely my favourite screen/device size to date.
mine is just get the smart keyboard and don't give a damn about any hypothetical dings on the side panel. honestly it's more protection than i want with this gen's back coverage.
To each their own. I carry mine around everywhere I go, and it's a $1,200 device that is less than a half inch thin, with a large surface area. I'm not willing to gamble when it comes to other people / public situations.
yeah, i just don't really know what could happen to it in a smart keyboard cover in a backpack? half the reason i upgraded was the form factor, it seems counter-productive to make it bulkier than my macbook pro.
Fair enough, though I can't imagine the space you'd be losing with a thicker case would be so great that it would become unusable, haha. I have the Zugu Case, which adds some bulk, maybe 10% of its original thickness? But knowing that it's just got a little extra support all around makes me much more comfortable tossing it in a bag, or using it in a coffee shop. I have apple care for it, so it wouldn't be the end of the world, but avoiding the hassle is also pretty easy, lol.
very likely these are new iPad Pros as well as that new 10.2 inch base iPad that was rumored.
Is it really time for a new iPad Pro update? Feels like it was released just yesterday
Seriously, what can they even add?
That said if they make the 6GB RAM standard on all storage sizes I might bite..

I wonder what they can do to the base model to keep it differentiated from the Air. I'm due for an upgrade from my Air 2, which may be my most used piece of tech ever, and it will be interesting to see which new iPad is for me.
Air2 ftw
the Pro 11 got me to upgrade finally but with apples ungodly amount of ones i suppose if they can pump new ones out this quick the competition will never have A chance of entering the market in a real way
Oh the competition is deader than dead right now. Android still barely supports tablets as a concept and Google bowed out of hardware entirely.
The market is Apple's

I mean, the competition is basically laptops, right?
3D Touch (lol since it's apparently being killed)
OLED? Maybe? Not sure OLED could handle ProMotion well, though it's obviously got advantages when it comes to contrast ratios.
There's always adding more lenses to the rear camera, I guess.
edit: what's really weird about the extremely strong consensus that Apple is killing 3D Touch is that, while they've updated iOS 13 so you don't really need 3D Touch to perform a bunch of its functions (though peek and pop was objectively good and seems to be disappearing), those updates *also* are a great way to make 3D Touch actions way way more discoverable, thus solving what the actual UX problem with 3D Touch was to begin with

I don't think they go there until next year. I am itching for one of the current Pros even if I have the 10.5" pro myself. Just love the new form factor. But now just gonna wait for the new models and see steep discounts on current ones and probably swoop.
Unless they go OLED this year, then I need it
One major use of the device, so I will take it. LOVE my OLED tv.
Not to mention the Microsoft Surface Pro doesn't really seem worth the money. I'd rather just use my Pencil and a bluetooth keyboard with my iPad Pro.
Tbh that doesn't even come to mind as a tablet, even though I know it is. It just markets itself so differently
I mostly love my Zugu case but the pencil doesn't charge properly though it. If I attach it overnight the pencil will only charge to like 12-13% and my iPad battery will be drained to half. Doesn't happen if I attach it without the case so that's a bit annoying.
