Yeah, those are laptops in my mind. Even if the keyboard is usually sold separately.

You should contact their support. A lot of people had this issue with the first run, and they've since corrected it and as far as I'm aware replaced old units with new ones.
Mine doesn't do this at all.
OLED Promotion is the dream, but I bet that is one expensive combo.
dang i literally just bought the 11 64gb from the costco sale. thought revisions were further off.
Costco has a really good return policy. Basically no questions asked for 90 days on electronics.
Good luck! Hopefully they take care of it for you, maybe you can even get them to throw in one of their new color cases, haha.
there will be new Pros this year, but will likely not be much of a bump. enjoy your new device.
I would legit bet my life on a second USB C port never happening.
some decent offers on Amazon UK. I'd just bought a 12.9 64GB for £896 and they have the 256GB for £964. Don't think I can return my 64 as I've used it now. I can live with that amount - never used more than 64 of the 256 previous model I had, but now with updates to ipadOS maybe I'd use it more for photography than I do now (way too clunky at the moment)
Oh man...that's brutal. $800 to fix the screen seems pretty insane though. Is that through Apple or a third party repair shop?
Apple never repairs just the screens on iPads. They replace the entire thing
ah for sure, thank you. definitely my fault though lol
tried to prop it up to watch something by standing the iPad up on a table, leaning the back against a wall, but it slipped through the crack between the table and the wall and the corner hit the ground
Yeah that's the Apple pricing - $749 CAD +taxes
I figured I would just get a refurbished unit but at that price maybe I'll just wait and save for a new model and sell this one on eBay for parts.
Thing is still working great to be honest and the pencil doesn't appear to be limited in function but I can't help but wince looking at it. Just got a Brydge keyboard for it recently too, was hoping to gift the whole thing to my dad 😓 I'll try and hit a repair shop on my lunch break 🙏🏽
edit: had a repair shop quote a $485 repair bill which is more digestible, if solely because I have the Apple price to compare it to lol. Will check the iRepair shop when the open tomorrow too.

Returning my iPad Air 3 to the store tomorrow and going to order an iPad Pro 11 from Apple EDU. I just didn't feel like the Air was worth 500 bucks. Timing is good because I think Apple throws in a pair of Beats Solo 3s.
Can anyone recommend a good thin case for the 11 from Amazon? Not looking to pay more than 20. I won't be leaving the house with it, so I dont need maximum protection. Just need to cover the screen and the back to protect from scratches.

Smart Cover for the front and a skin for the back. That's the combination I have and it's so much better than having a case on and adding unnecessary weight.
I got an ESR case for my 12.9. It's fine. Slightly rough inside texture but a decent price (like not £100 wtf Apple)
Can't get smart covers for the new pro :( my biggest disappointment as my preferred option by far
Ah sorry. Someone I follow on Twitter loves this case so may be worth a look:
Can anyone comment on the speaker/audio quality between the 11" and 12.9" as I've seen reviews stating the bigger iPad sounds way better.
has anyone had the brightness on their iPad randomly go down? It almost seems like auto-brightness but I definitely have that off. I also have True Tone off.
is there some other reason it would be doing this? I thought maybe it was happening yesterday as I was outside and the ambient light wasn't exactly consistent, so i thought maybe it was some glitch where auto-brightness was still triggering. But then last night I was in my office and I had one desk lamp on and was sitting perfectly still using my iPad and it did it again.

I've encountered this on both iPhone and iPad a few times, seems like a bug. I do have auto brightness but it's definitely a separate issue as it occurs immediately while auto brightness is a gradual shift, and the brightness becomes capped even if I manually raise it.
Especially annoying when it happens in the middle of photo editing. Completely screws my progress.
Yea I was gonna say, even though I don't have auto-brightness enabled, I was pretty sure it did a gradual fade while this is a hard cut. To my eye it looks like it's going down ~20% or so.
I'm almost always using my iPad at 100% brightness and when this happens, I check in the Control Center thing and it's still maxed out on the brightness slider. It's especially annoying when you are outdoors and need that max brightness but it does this.
I'm not on the beta... hopefully this is fixed in iPadOS.
I can't but the 11 does leave a lil to be desired even tho it's good so I could believe it
Connecting you mean? Sound has no lag for me. Connection lag about the same as my iPhone.
No, the sound has a lot of lag for me, it's really noticeable in movies. Maybe I should have Apple look at it.
typically depends on the app, i think. the YouTube in particular has a lot of latency with Bluetooth audio. and some people don't notice latency as much as others
I'm planning on replacing my 13" MacBook Pro with an iPad Pro as I already own a desktop gaming PC and a laptop is starting to seem like overkill for my second device but I can't decide between 11" or 12.9". I've handled them both in store numerous times and can't decide. I've read this thread in it's entirety and can't decide. Any advice?
edit: Main uses will be web browsing, media consumption, and light work (answering emails, etc) for home and on the go. I'm planning on getting the Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard Folio along with it.

11" for sure if your main purpose isn't long work involving the Apple Pencil (ie design or art).
In a similar configuration and usage, I went for the 11, because I really like how lightweight it is, having essentially the same footprint as a classic iPad. This is going to feel noticeably smaller and lighter than your MBP, though.
I don't know that you can go wrong either way tbh.
Then you'll get to move on to the next step of the proud new iPad Pro owner course: whether to install the iPadOS beta or not. I'm sitting it out so far, I favor a glitchless experience too much.
I will always be the one to stan for the 12.9" iPad Pro. Especially if your use is going to be your main portable computer. You're already used to a 13" screen size, just keep that ball rolling. I would say only get the 11" if it's going to be spending a significant amount of time out of the keyboard and being used purely as a tablet, or if you were a huge fan of the 11" MacBook Air when that was a thing.
With FaceID the size of the 12.9" iPad Pro isn't overwhelmingly huge.
Can anyone elaborate on this comparison between the Air and the Pro? On paper the difference doesn't look that big given the price difference and some reviews pretty much says that. Why exactly is Air not worth 500 and the Pro worth it at 800? I'm also look at the back to school scheme as this is my last chance to use the education store. Otherwise I might just wait until the next time I'm in HK, since that is cheese still than education prices.
The Air is 500 yet lacks speakers on both sides of the device. 3 gigs of ram rather than 4. Only uses Apple Pencil 1. And most importantly to me, it doesn't support 120Hz refresh rate.
Insta buy. Will wait to play it until iPadOS thought, so I can use my DS4.
fuck yesssss I've been dying to play that game.
was it in the trailer for Apple Arcade it was a hallucinating?
Pro models (and probably others) are on sale at Best Buy right now.
Just bought a 12.9in 256GB (Wifi) for $975.

Oh nice! If anyone is on the fence because of price, I'd recommend going with lower storage since external support is coming in the next few months. No need to drop tons of cash on the higher priced models when you can get more storage for considerably less externally.
I'm just here to say I absolutely love my iPad Pro 11inch. The thing is the best portable computer I've ever owned. iPadOS completely changes the game and makes the thing not only easy but so much fun to use. Add a nice mouse, the Smart Keyboard case, a game controller and the pencil and it's just a machine complete with everything you could possibly need. I am so happy I bought this thing, and anyone sitting on the fence should just jump in, it's replaced all my laptops.
