Those who have upgraded from a 10.5 to an 11: Can you notice the extra screen estate?

[Jacoblee23]

And is it as comfortable to hold as the 10.5?

 

[Marzel]

Actually the screen feels significantly bigger even if it's only a 0.5" difference. The size is almost exactly the same and due to its slim body and very evenly distributed weight it is very comfortable to hold even one handed.

 

[haruhiko]

When you watch a video it's even more noticeable due to the wider aspect ratio. The video looks much bigger.

 

[DNichter]

Yes, the screen feels bigger and I’m liking the wider aspect ratio. Video is much better too.

 

[840quadra]

Yes and no.

It is bigger, just waiting on all of my apps to properly support it.

 

[BeatCrazy]

Yes, definitely seems bigger than the 10.5.

 

[HarryWild]

It is bigger then the 1/2” would seen. Weight of the 11” is much easier to hold too. It is just the best iPad yet! Had to buy it! But still waiting to get a second Mini 5/Pro for using in the bedroom.

 

[tripleh3lix]

Definitely a bit of a difference.

 

[sonicrobby]

Definitely a bit of a difference.

Does the 11" now hold 6 rows of icons? or still 5?

Does the 11" now hold 6 rows of icons? or still 5?

5.

 

[Chairman.Jobbie]

Yes. Noticeable. The bezels being smaller / no home button / no larger "black border" also accentuate the difference.
