Hey guys,
I've been waiting for Apple to update the iPad air for a year now because i've wanted a tablet for note taking and pdf reading and was fully set on the iPad pro 9.7 until this morning when I found out it was 2gb of ram.
I want a future proof tablet and a power house so what do you think would be the better deal?
Also is 32gb enough?
I think it totally depends on what you want to use it for. I mentioned this on other threads too, but if you're a student, and using it mainly for studying, reading web/Ebooks, playing game, possibly editing pictures and videos as your hobby level, that 9.7" Pro is more than enough, and 2GM Ram won't affect what you gonna do almost at all, in that case. If you're reading things a lot on it, true tone display has benefit on your eyes too.
I'm one of people who wished smaller iPad Pro coming out, but I'm gonna stay with my 12.9". Just because I use it mainly my digital art work creation, editing music, understand usefulness of split screen. Yes it's big but has reason to be that size, and it's beneficial to who use Pro 12.9" for the reasons. For example, to me it's right size to draw, I don't need to pinch and spread my drawing on 12.9", when I use split screen function, my working area gets half yet I can tolerate to work on that space. Bit faster processor and 4GB Ram and USB3 support bit help when I need to deal with big files for pictures/music. There is reasons 9.7" Pro didn't get equal as 12.9" and kinda falls but behind on some things from 12.9".
I don't need "better" camera(I don't take photos/videos on my any iPad since I have iPhone!), I don't want true tone display.
So, for me, 12.9" is right.
Some people says 9.7" was left behind from 12.9" feature, but it really depends on how you see it. If you're not doing anything special, 9.7" Pro is still great and you don't need to pay extra money for some features which are nice to have but you don't have use for them.
