Wow, that's not bad! I'd get the Space Grey, I think it looks great especially on the back with the two colours.
Got a tip for us?

Almost no app developer will target the very tiny 4GB memory iDevice market. No matter how you put it, early adopters have been screwed unless they really really wanted a bigger screen.
Between the underclocked processor and the 2GB of ram, I see little reason to consider the 9.7.
With the full size 12.9 IPP being $150 every few weeks, that seems like the better deal.

Came here to say that. I would just like future 9.7 IPP owners to know that us 12.9 IPP owners are still superior. You can have your fancy camera, we'll take the RAMs.
The 4K support for the camera is nice... but really, nobody should be taking photos/videos with their iPad/tablet.
And four speakers, and true tone display, and a 256 GB storage option.
I was going to purchase the new iPad and now it comes out that it only has 2GB of RAM? Are you kidding me?? The same as iPhone SE or even my old iPad Air 2. Why the hack do you call it PRO? This is insane.. Now I'm really considering getting the big iPad Pro..

Did people really believe they'd make the smaller and cheaper model perform better than their top of the line model?
Damn, I was so excited to upgrade from my Air 1 to the Pro, now I'm kind of iffy about it. Maybe I should just get the Air 2. I was kind of looking forward to the pencil as someone who will start school soon, and was looking forward to taking notes and stuff.
Yeah, **** you Apple, I am buying your more expensive product now. That will teach you!

This makes me feel better about my 12.9 purchase. I was a little torn after yesterdays news...
The SE sounds like a solid release and I predict it'll do very well. The 9.7 iPad "Pro" with the same amount of RAM as my Air 2, means I probably won't be upgrading right now.
That's too bad. Looks like I'm no longer buying the pro.
That is probably true except for programs like Procreate, where I assume more RAM = more Layers. Which is a big deal.
Look at the Geekbench numbers! Not a flagship phone my ass. The iPhone SE is not even slower clocked or anything.
Wouldn't going from a 6S+ to SE be a downgrade for battery life though?
iPhone SE just gone up in my book! Shame it's only 5-6 month before iPhone 7 renders it about $250.
iPad Pro 9.7 feels more like the iPad Pretender - with only 2GB ram; look at the screenshot it's already used 77% RAM. Gee.
At Pro 9.7's price level between the camera bump, the 2GB RAM, USB 2 - it's a upgrade to be skipped - bring OLED next time please!

So, about the iPad pro, that is really cheap. They pulled the same sh.t last year with the mini 4.
" it has the same hw as the air2"
" it has the same a9x chip as the bigger iPad Pro "
Rather have they put in a 8mp camera without a hump and put in 4gb.
Really disappointing!

The 9.7 Pro still has the better cameras, screen tech, and always on Siri.
