Just curios how it feels on the screen? I was gong to get one but was wondering about possible screen scratches and if a screen protector or insurance for the screen would be needed. M a diehard Bodyguardz tempered glass screen protector on my iPhone since it saved my iPhone 4
I upgraded Air 1 to Pro 9.7. I'm truly amazed. My only problem is I can't get split view working no matter what I try.
Have to disagree, the screen is nothing like the Air 1. I did a side by side with mine and the Pro is huge improvement. The reduced glare makes such a difference. The colours are deeper and blacks blacker. At times it's as if the Pro has no glass. Great display.
Wait, whaaaat!? I kept my cover and not expected to work perfectly but this? It sounds like an artificial way of pushing sales of covers. F**k apple seriously, This sounds like a scam to me. I would never expect to say this of apple after 30 years of usage of their products.
I will go for a non original cover, they are not going to see my money on this one.
Have you got the setting enabled in Settings? If not - Settings - General - Multitasking - turn 'Allow Multiple Apps' on
If it's already enabled, make sure you are trying to start split screen in compatible apps as I couldn't get split screen to work so I backed out of the app I was in, went into Safari and attempted to start split screen again and it worked.
So I've been using it for the past day. I really like it it's a great upgrade for my Air 1. The only issue is when I have the iPad, the keyboard, and the silicone case, it is heavier than Air 1. But I think I will get used to it. It's worth being heavier since it has a keyboard.
Thinking of returning the silicone case. I didn't use one on the Air and it's just adding weight. Might just stick with smart kb. The smartcover is awful and they seem to get worse with each ipad.
The issue is that if I don't have the case then if I put the iPad down then the camera will come in direct contact with the table.
Well i tried the 12.9...but since i don't plan to use it with a keyboard or a pencil...the 9.7 is perfect to hold it in the hands!
Upgraded from Air 1 (64gb) to 9.7 Pro (128gb). Faster, no scroll lag on Safari, like the True Tone setting, speakers are amazing. My wifi speeds are faster. The only thing I miss is the Moshi versacover. Have the Apple Smart Cover and silicone back. Hope Moshi comes through.
Im gettin major scroll lag on ebay etc....i made a video in my own thread..Im not happy with the onhand differance I am getting between air 1 and pro 9.7...Besides split screen which i aint using much of, I see no screen differances..
Think I am going to return it to apple

Same here. The Pro's screen is noticeably better in several ways.
I have a mini 2 which has the same specs as the Air 1, I want to upgrade so badly. This iPad is getting really sluggish with iOS 9 and I regret getting the smaller iPad, the screen is smaller than I would like (loved it at first but it got old) and the colors are bad compared to my iPhone 6 or my friend's iPad Air.
However I'm 16 and need to get a rMBP for college in the coming year or two, so I don't need to go spending $600 on something I don't exactly need. This iPad does what it needs to, just with a bit more jerkiness/sluggishness/page refreshes than I would prefer. Not a total deal breaker though. I'll survive.

I always heard the Air 2 didn't do as well as the Air with battery life. The Pro 9.7 has a similar, slimmed down battery so I've been wondering how battery life is.. How would it get better is what I'm wondering.
I'll be picking up my newly ordered 9.7" Pro later on today!(I'll be sure to post my first impression by the end of the day aswell). My Air has significantly slowed down the past 2 years.. It'll be nice to get an upgrade!
I have a quick question though, after I've restored it from the iCloud backup, does it ask for the email passwords immediately on the home screen, or do I need to verify them in the settings app?
Thanks!
