iPad Pro Thinking about getting an iPad Pro 12.9. Any major flaws/defects I should be worried about?

It's a little heavy and cumbersome/unwieldy as far as tablets go, but that increased screen real estate is truly amazing.

Most of the screens (That I've seen) are a bit warmer/yellow near the top/top-left and many are slightly brighter in the middle. Being able to notice it on frequent basis takes a trained/color-sensitive eye(s). With that said, the Air 1 was way worse.

Very true. My iPP 12.9 is generally good with no dead pixels and no screen clicking or screaming backlight bleed. The warmer tone and the slight brightness in the middle was annoying at first, but finding out that a lot are like this gives me a little solace. I exchanged a few and this one is the better of them all.

I've had mine since January, and it's been flawless. I use it a lot when I travel, and it holds up well in a backpack and has performed beautifully.

So I wouldn't post this unless I saw that no one else answered you. However, I've had mine since November and use it heavily daily. I also travel with it often so it's thrown in and out of a bag often. I haven't had a single problem with it. The home button and volume buttons are more firm than that of my brand new iPhone. It's very resilient, the speakers and microphone work great even after constant use and not proud to admit it but I spilled soda on it. My one and only thing that bothers me is the Smart Keyboard begins to wear a bit where I hit the space bar in the same place over and over. That's just cosmetic and to be expected though. Really a quality product.

I have had mine since launch day with the accessories and I am experiencing the same wear on the Smart Keyboard space bar. I feel as if it will eventually stop registering a key stroke on one part of it.

I've had my 128 GB LTE IPP since launch day and have encountered no problems whatsoever.

The device is literally full of flaws. The storage is inadequate, the screen is terrible, it's terribly slow and it doesn't support the some of the coolest features of iOS. The worst part is that Apple consistently refuses to fix these flaws year after year.

(In case it's unclear, this post is my attempt at sarcastically saying that the new iPad Pro that will eventually be released will likely be better in nearly every area of comparison.)

I have had mine since launch and hardware is rock solid. The Apple Pencil is a must. I also purchased the OEM iPad Pro keyboard. I'm not a fan of the "feel" of that keyboard, but it does the job well. I have since replaced it with the Zagg keyboard which added backlit keys and a better overall feel. The downside is the increased weight.

I own 2 iMacs and a 2012 MBP and the iPad Pro gets the most use, unless I'm editing photos.

I have zero complaints.
