12.9 and it's not even close. Just my opinion, but to me, the 12.9 is a marvel.
So my iPad Mini 2 is feeling a little sluggish and with the iPhone 6S i own its starting to not really be a useful device. So Im debating with the iPad 9.7 Air 2 or Pro or indeed the Pro 12. Whilst price matters, for the sake of this argument lets ignore it.
I mostly use my iPad at home, browsing the web and playing the odd game. I watch Youtube and the various streaming apps but I won't be buying it to do any "pro" work. My heart is for the 12 simply because of the screen size whilst I would probably go for the Air 2 if I went for the smaller model - because I probably don't need all the whistles truth be told.
So I suppose my questions are:
1. Is the 12 a good device for just sitting on the couch browsing the web?
2. Shall I wait it out to see what happens in September?
3. Does anyone else just use the 12 like this and what's it like?
Thanks
Jim.
If you buy your iPad pro 12.9 through your carrier like Verizon you can pay it off monthly at $40 with the device payment plan over 24 monthsHm, in my opinion you should buy what you can afford and what brings you the most joy in actual use. If you have the chance to compare these devices side by side, do that, form an opinion, then buy. Of course, if you really only want to surf the web, most iPads will do, the Air 2 is a good example.

I chose the 12 basically the same reason. I don't find either to be convenient for meetings... The mini is the best companion device due to size but with a 6s plus, it's hard to justify having the mini.I had the 12 and moved to the 9. The 12 is a fantastic device for media consumption, but so is the 9. In the end, the 12 was not convenient for bringing to meetings and taking notes on, something I use my iPad for constantly.
The mini is more convenient and if it had Pencil support it'd definitely win out for that purpose.I chose the 12 basically the same reason. I don't find either to be convenient for meetings...

I previously got the 12.9" ipp thinking that it would be great to read and annotate PDFs. It was at the beginning. But after the novelty wore off, I went back to my 27" iMac for pdf reading. The ipp was left sitting on my desk. I hesitated in bringing it to meetings as it was cumbersome. I bring my iPad mini instead.
Not sure how I would feel about the 9.7" ...

after comparing the 12 and the 9.7 side by side watching the same movie trailer i disagree with your statement. The difference using True Tone is striking.I can't use either for 'pro' uses, so I ended up switching up my 12's to 9.7's.
I'm much happier with being able to use the Pros as the usually compact iPad experience with the odd bit of inking, instead of a cumbersome crappy alternative to a Surface-type Windows device for a frankly laughably compromised stab at 'productivity'.
That said, if you're spending most of the time on the couch then a giant iPad may not be a bad way to go. I wouldn't read much into the lack of True Tone: The 12" Pro's screen is excellent.
