Well if one can use their finger to draw, what about something else instead?
I couldn't even draw what you did earlier, yep I'm that bad.
Well, today I decided I'm not returning mine. Barring unforeseen problems in the next month and a half, that is. So I stopped in at the store and bought the AppleCare Plus. I normally don't buy extended warranties, but since this includes free phone support for two years and two accidents, I decided to go for it. The more I use the Pro, the more I like it. And I'm starting to shop for a protective sleeve, in case I decide to travel with it.
I just bought the 13" Incase sleeve for the Macbook Air from the Apple store... works. $39
Two iPads is apple's wet dream, if one iPad stays just in the house I hope they also don't have a laptop somewhere collecting dust
I'm keeping mine for sure! I agree that it is just too big for some purposes, so have an iPad Mini for casual purposes and travel. I love the bigger screen. If I had to travel with it, it would be too much, since I don't need the laptop replacement aspect of it. But the Mini is good enough for me for that purpose.
I never for a second was returning mine, but I did buy AppleCare+, which is the very first time I ever have for an iPad. Just seemed especially worth it this time. $599 just for a screen replacement if I break it? Good grief!
Wow.
So do you have an iPhone, and iPad Mini, an iPad Pro....and a laptop of some kind as well then?
For me it's all just become too much. (and super expensive every few years) An iPhone, iPad & a desktop is my absolute limit
I purchased the IPP, but did return it after a few days. Like the previous poster I think I just realized it is too much. My intent was I would sell my iPad Mini 2 and MacBook Pro 13.3 both of these are going on 3 years old. I also have an iPhone 6s Plus. While I totally could make due with just the iPad Pro and my iPhone. The 3 year old iPad mini and MacBook Pro still have value and will do anything and in some cases more than the iPad Pro. So, I just couldn't justify it. I did check to see what I could get if I sold those items and could probably sell them for enough to pay for the iPad Pro. If I decide to do that then I would buy another iPad Pro.
I think an iPad Pro with an iPhone 6S Plus would be perfect. Oh and I also have and Mac Mini which I use for most of my heavy lifting.

I agree. For this reason I returned mine yesterday. I don't regret buying it and playing with it for a bit though.
This is how i feel. I love the iPad Pro but I hate that I cannot get the pencil to enjoy it to the full.
I really hope the iPad Air 3 supports the Pencil. That would be Perfect! Best of both world. Also possible 3D Touch too? Maybe. Quite likely I think. I can't wait.
I cannot wait for mine. Arrives in 6 days (or so... still waiting for it to go to 'Preparing for Shipment'). Already have a Pencil, though!
Honestly, the only thing I'm hesitant about now is what I'm going to do with my Air 2 now that I haven't picked it up since getting my iPP. I thought I would still use it as an ereader but honestly if I'm sitting down the iPP is fine for reading in landscape mode, and otherwise my 6S+ is big enough to read comfortably on.
First-world problems to the extreme.
This is one of the main reasons I'm holding off on buying one. I only just bought the iPad Air 2 and I'm not sure what the point of it would be if I got an iPad Pro.
Plus there's zero point getting an iPad Pro if I can't get a Pencil. And Apple have massively screwed up that whole thing.
Single with no kids! I will be lonely when I'm old and gray, but I will die surrounded by a bunch of cool gadgets! My home desktop is a dated but adequate Windows 7 machine from TigerDirect that I hardly ever use, and no laptop. I also own an eInk Kindle, but that is cheap in comparison.
Being a big fan of the iPad Air 2, I wasn't sure about the IPP. As soon as I got over the shock of its size, it really grew on me quickly. The iPP feels much more *useful* for me than the Air 2, and I realized I was basically just using the Air as a bigger iPhone. For personal computing, the iPhone/iPP combo is basically all I need.
Work is different however. Tablets aren't supported on our network and there are Mac/Win-only apps I need to use. I can't imagine bringing the iPP with me on work trips in addition to my work MBP (it would be basically carrying two laptops around). I may need to keep my Air2 as a companion device to the work laptop, which is unfortunate.

I bought a case from Amazon. It's called Luvvitt clear grip flexible soft touch rubber back cover. I paid $15. It looks beautiful on the pro. I'm pretty sure they have other colors besides clear
I have zero regrets, but that's only because I didn't get it for gaming or reading books in bed (although I do both things, however, I was aware it would be a bit awkward). I still didn't get my hands on a Pencil, but the size will be great for illustration. Really happy with it.
If you got it solely to be a consumption device, however, an iPad Air 2 would probably be better.
Question is will 3D Touch on the air get it before the pro? Do apple value the air higher than the pro?
