Picked up my iPad Pro 10.5" today....yes I like the bigger screen...I feels heavier but that could be the extra few mm in length changing the
balance. IOS11 will be the making of this model.
I believe the Air2 was the ' change maker' for tablets and opened up the potential for what we are using today!

I just wish wish there was a pro mini. These are so big for my use, but so tempted to try it.
Looking forward to "downgrading" to the 10.5 from the 12. I love the pencil and the power of the 12 - it is just a bit to big. Not sure what to do with the 12 - it might move into a otterbox and be used for football (Australian rules) coaching.
I just want to actually be hands on with one before I get one. I use the Pro all day every day at work so a neat tax deduction as well...

"USB 3 transfer speeds"?
If true, great news. Have to try it out.

In the iPad forum, someone tested it and it is not USB 3 transfer speed for iTunes restore.
That really put me off from going for it
I don't get the whole USB-C "need"... you can't connect other USB-C things to it. If you could use Flash memory or printers or some functionality then maybe. What is it about the rear camera you hate? Yeah it sticks out... is that the problem? I see a lot of older users on holiday taking photos and videos with iPads. They like how they can see the huge preview and can sit and share images afterwards without any fuss: no swapping memory cards or plugging things in. Putting iPhone 7 quality camera in this iPad makes sense. I'm sitting there with my better quality camera, unplugging, shuffling adapters, moving files, editing, deciding what to do while they've already posted to Facebook what they are up to.
For once, Apple have gone all out to make sure the iPad has latest processor, memory sizing, sound, camera and screen tech. Anyone who hasn't upgraded in years might be tempted.

Well getting rid of it would have angered a few people. Less get angry leaving it knowing you can still use Bluetooth if you wanted to. Can't please everyone it seems...
This is very tempting. Haven't wanted an iPad this bad in a long time.
You could if iOS recognized the device though right? I have a Lightning to USB-C cable for my MacBook Pro, couldn't I connect my iPad to some USB-C device with it?
My guess is that all you need is support in the OS.
I'm fighting many urges to buy one....I haven't been interested in a new ipad since the mini with Retina display which I still have and barely use.
I really dont need this over the cheap iPad to do what I need...but i really like that larger screen and latest Touch ID. Just seems a waste for 2x the price for media consumption
Rememer that on top of iOS 11 the difference between the “cheap” iPad and the new iPad Pro are significant.
Imo the “cheap” iPad is only a hair better than the iPad 2 (gasps from crowd)
What competition? There's no tablet market, just iPad market. Same goes for Apple Watch and the iMac barely had any competition till 2016, and ZOMG! the AirPods.
It is USB 3 according to this review

Why? For what purpose? Apple upgraded the camera to the same configuration as the iPhone 7 camera With a flash. Lots of iPad users still use the camera and it has its advantages more than it's a disadvantage.

It baffles me that they get away with calling it "Pro" when it only runs iOS.
They call it a pro ipad not a pro super powerful desktop computerpad..
Aslong as any profession can use it to make money its a valid name (for example digital artists/designers or any profession that an ipad with pencil support can improve the workflow of)
Is there any lag going from the lightning dongle? You can't get rid of the jack on any pro / multimedia device because most of the music apps would be unusable to do audio lag. Headphone jack is a necessity.
