iPad Pro 9.7 Screen Is Nice

I'm liking the new cellular window design on the back
Thanks, going to have to get used to this it seems. Glad you can turn it off if you want.
Only Apple could take a constant complaint about yellow screens and turn it into a feature people are excited about.
haha.. As long as it's not permanently yellow. I'm really liking Night Shift which makes everything super yellow, but it really is easier on the eyes when reading at night.
My new 9.7 was already charged to 97%. Do not think I have ever had a Apple device with that much in the battery.

Me too. Kinda freaked when I did not see the big black antenna cover . . . this looks better to me.

My god the small iPad looks so smallllllll. Sometimes I miss the portability but I tried my daughters iPad Air and I felt like I couldn't see anything on it the screen just seemed so dinky. Funny how perspective changes over time
I think i'm going to sell my Air2. I'm a sucker for the nicer screen (delusion?).
The screen is the number 1 feature for me. I'd upgrade for that reason alone.
Here's a thread about the wobble (or lack thereof): https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/will-it-wobble.1963886/
So, two things to point out:
1) You are viewing it in different lighting conditions, on a forum that uses a white background, on a monitor with a different white point set.
2) The camera's white point is set to match the 12.9, which is bluer than the white point in the room itself. Which makes everything in the photo look very warm (even the black keyboard on the 9.7 looks warm as a result).
#2 is the bigger issue, really, but it's not something that's easily fixed. If I take a photo of that same environment, but match the white point to that of the room, then everything looks "normal" with a really blue iPad 12.9" screen. Which makes it harder to demonstrate that it is matching the ambient light.
I actually wish True Tone would get a control center button like Night Shift. I actually would be more likely to toggle this than I would Night Shift. Leaving it on most of the time, but then turning it off when I am doing work where color balance is important.
I know there's a toggle in Settings, but is there one in control center too, meaning I don't need to leave my app to do it?
You don't understand True Tone.

iMore use the wrong choice of words. Keep in mind you're seeing it from "photo", not your eyes. In essence, if you're in the room that yellowish (tungsten lights) the old screen will look too blue to your eyes but True Tone screen on new iPad Pro will look "more white". Our eyes will adjust to ambient light and since the new screen also adjust too, the two will be in sync.

No, as this is probably not a feature that the average user needs.

Excellent. I have a mini 3, iPad air 2, and the pro next to each other the reflections are minimal,especially versus the mini.
so upset i have tried 2 new iPad pro 9.7 and both screen have mega yellow even with true tone and night shift off and its not more brighter than air 2 much, and to be fair my iPhone 6s plus is miles whiter blue tone paper white why can't any dam iPad have a good white screen how hard is it really
And my feedback was that at least in my case, I'm more likely to want to toggle True Tone than I am Night Shift (which I have yet to turn off since Beta 1). To me it is weird that this isn't getting a control center toggle, since the market who'd be interested in True Tone and the wider gamut display for creation is also going to be interested in toggling True Tone when they need color consistency.
They are built on the same internal tech, so yes. One is just time/location based, and the other is using ambient sensors to set the white point. But you could manually turn it on and set it yourself, it is just tedious.
