I was planing on getting the 9.7, but after thinking about it, I think the bigger screen is going to be better for me. I plan on taking a lot of notes in school, so the bigger screen will be much nicer to write on. And with Stapples having a sale on the 128 Gig, I just went to Best Buy, price matched it and got it for 799, only 50 more bucks for the 9.7 I was planing on getting it.
Sold my 12.9 and ordered the 9.7. The 12.9 was just too big for my usage. I use mine outside the house quite often and the big Pro just wasn't comfortable for me carrying around.Who among you will sell their iPad Pro 12.9" to buy the new 9.7" model?
What reasons may push you to this step?
It took 4 relistings but I FINALLY sold my iPad Pro and am so happy.Not exactly the same for me, but I bought a 12.9 the other day and I am returning it for the 9.7. Although a great piece of technology and the screen is awesome, I just find it too heavy and impractical for most uses. I just figure that a tablet should be more portable or comfortable to hold. Looking forward to the same features in a smaller package though.

I do feel the iPad Pro is a great size, but the problem was that it just never felt right as either a Computer Replacement or a Pro Tablet (for me).
- Apps were always "lite" versions compared to desktop
- Awkward multitasking. Too many strokes for simple tasks
- Touch isn't always ideal (sometimes a mouse is the right tool)
- No User Switching
- Final price after all accessories made it far higher than a basic MacBook
I packed up my 12.9 iPad Pro and stole the wife's Air2 and everything feels "just right" again. Sure, the same shortcomings exist on either size but on a 9.7 then it doesn't feel like it's trying to be any more than it is. A really good tablet.
That said, Im definitely getting a Pro9.7 but I can wait for the inevitable sales. I just don't think the $600 price tag will make it a hot item and retailers will likely give a few breaks to move inventory.

I actually bout the 12.9 after the 9.7 announcement. 2GB of RAM kills it for me.Who will sell 12.9" iPad Pro to buy the new 9.7"?
Answer: EVERYONE
Heck, just for the improved 25% better color alone I would.
What can you run on iOS with 4gb that you can't run with 2gb?I actually bout the 12.9 after the 9.7 announcement. 2GB of RAM kills it for me.
Nothing. But that will change a few years down the road.What can you run on iOS with 4gb that you can't run with 2gb?
A few years down the road I'll be buying a new iPad.Nothing. But that will change a few years down the road.
I'm with you there. 2GB wasn't enough on my Air 2 and it won't be enough on the 9.7 Pro.Nothing. But that will change a few years down the road.
While I have no doubt there are some who are already hitting the limits of 2GB RAM (*cough* multi-tab Safari *cough*), I wonder if people are expecting Apple to suddenly change its spots and being generous with RAM upgrades. I would be pleasantly surprised if the next 9.7" iPad has 4GB RAM but I'm certainly not counting on it (hence, upgrading now because I do want 256GB and my current iPads are getting a bit long in the tooth).I'm with you there. 2GB wasn't enough on my Air 2 and it won't be enough on the 9.7 Pro.

Well, thats the problem with todays Apple. Far too often they release a product to hype and fanfare but a few months (or years) later you look back and notice how little investment they put into improvements or advancing the ecosystem surrounding it.Yea I noticed all of what you're mentioning and I want even trying to make it a laptop replacement. The blown up apps were really glaring and while I know this will improve over time, I don't necessarily think that will be the go to market for developers.
I will be sticking with the 12.9" screen for the foreseeable future. I am a college student, and find this to be the perfect device for 99% of my daily needs. I don't go anywhere without it. An amazing educational tool, great for taking notes, mesmerizing for media consumption, still only 1.5 lbs, I could go on for days.
How's this Ipad pro (12.9") with mobility? Do you take it with you to the college and to anywhere around?
I asitate about the mobility with this ipp.

In 8 to 9 years or less the 12.9 iPad Pro will be looked back upon as riduculous as we now look upon Brick cell phones of the 80's. Like who the heck thought that was cool ? Or like MC Hammer pants.Who among you will sell their iPad Pro 12.9" to buy the new 9.7" model?

If I could just chime in on this. Having had my 12.9" for a while now I honestly can't see where there could be an issue with mobility. Other than we're spoiled these past few years with ever smaller, ever lighter devices.
I've taken mine many places and it's no more difficult mobility wise than say a MacBook or a MacBook Air. It's basically like carrying a hefty magazine.
I suppose in the end it depends what you're used to. If you're used to something like an iPad Mini, it will seem big to begin with. If you're used to taking a laptop with you you won't notice a difference other than it likely being lighter. If you're used to an iPad Air or any of the other 9.7" iPads, it's really not that much different when all's said and done.
It's trivial to me because I remember carrying around a 17" Alienware gaming laptop many, many years ago that weighed more than a 21" iMac does now. Compared to something like that the Pro is like carrying a sheet of paper![]()
