For those who got the iPad Pro and had the older iPads, what did you guys do with the older iPad?

I realized that my iPad Air 2 is just sitting there collecting dust.
 
I actually pick up my iPad Air 2 more often than my pro. It's much easier to handle and type on.

Any quick and simple tasks are done on the air. It feels perfect in he hand.

The pro is used when I want to watch media or I settle in for a longer session with it.
 
Debating selling my Surface Pro, iPad 3, and iPad Air on Swappa soon. Might spring for a Mini 4 for ebook reading, but not sure yet.

I still prop up the Air on the bathroom counter when I'm getting ready for work, and on the treadmill when I run... the Pro is too big/pretty/new to do that with. :)
 
Trying out the Pro made it very apparent my iPad Air 2 was the ideal tablet for me.

The Pro is a bulky monster that is great for those that need it, not just want it, and it's horrid for those that don't.

Apple's return process never looked so good. :D

My iPad Air 2 is now my bedroom tablet. I've pretty much replaced my retina MacBook Pro with my iPad pro for browsing on the couch.
 
I have an air 2 as well as a mini 4. Use the pro in my home office and on the couch. Use the air 2 in the bedroom. Use the mini 4 when I'm out and have to wait somewhere for a while . Lot of times my wife puts the mini 4 in her purse and uses out and about.

Only had the Pro for a day so a bit too early to judge. The Pro feels like a bit
of a gimmick and I don't yet feel comfortable with it. Pencil and keyboard on
order but could be weeks before I get them so that takes the edge off the Pro. Just feels like a big iPad so not sure if I'll keep it. Can't beat the Air 2
for overall usability. If I stick with the Pro I'll still keep the Air as Pro is only
wi-fi and Air has cellular.
 
Sold it (air 2) a few weeks before getting the pro. Had my mini 4 to keep me company :)
 
My iPad Air 2 128gb is my backup iPad. It sits on a stand next to my bed and will stay there as a information center and Siri use.
 
I'll either give my Air 2 to my mom, if she wants it, or selling it. The Pro is now my primary iPad.
 
My iPad Air was gifted to my in-laws as a bribe / tactic in order to warm my wife up to the idea of my getting my iPP.
Sleazy move? -Maybe
Did it work? -Yep! :D
 
I am selling my iPad Air to my son-in-law's family. I keep my Apple products in good shape and they are usually waiting for them when I get ready to upgrade.

Yesterday Apple gave me a $225 Apple gift card for my Air 2. Gazelle only quoted me $175. So I purchased a pencil, and almost have enough left to get the keyboard when I can find one.
 
I let my 11 and 9 year old kids share my iPad 4 for games mostly. I love the big screen of the Pro.

I'm keeping my iPad mini. It's still my portable device when I'm out and about, while the pro is for when I'm sitting at a desk and I want to be able to write. Or when I'm lecturing to a class.
 
Girlfriends getting my Air 2 once my Pro arrives tomorrow or Monday, selling her iPad Air 1 probably to Apple to get a gift card
