I had the 10.5" in Rose Gold. Really wished they did that color in the 12.5". I really liked the smaller one, this was my first iPad. I fell in love with it. After using it for a couple of days, I didn't like the size. I found typing on the attached keyboard not so great with the smaller screen. I decided to get the bigger screen. I went with the biggest memory only because I wanted to use it like a second laptop, when away from my desktop. I love watching movies on it and since getting it I pretty much do everything on it now from reading books to writing. I especially love using the pen and writing my thoughts down. (it's replaced my paper notebook) My sister now has the 10.5"

I had the first gen 12.9 and finally upgraded this year to a 2017 10.5. And to be honest, the 10.5 is the perfect size. I loved my 12.9 but it was a beast, and could be unwieldy. Typing on it was also a pain in the ass. Everything that bugged me on the 12.9, has been eliminated on my new 10.5. I believe the 10.5 is the way to go guys.

One big difference (that I didn't see explicitly called out) is that in a split screen landscape mode (with two apps open side by side) the 12.9 will display each in their normal UI control format (will appear like two full side-by-side ipad apps) where on the 10.5 the apps will be rendered at a reduced UI mode (so you end up with iphone sized versions of each app rendered). This depends somewhat on the apps you are using but its worth noting the 12.9 does 2 "full UI" ipad apps side by side and the 10.5 will most likly render a reduced UI version of the app when running side-by-side.

The biggest reason why I bought the 12.9 one is I could read and take note like a normal paper without zoom in

I just got the 10.5 for school and business productivity, I got the keyboard and iPencil. I must say, this is the best device I have had. It works really well in class for note taking with the pencil especially with math based classes since you have to show work and write out equations. So far, I feel that the purchase was well worth it.

I picked up the 10.5 iPad Pro, as i was upgrading from the iPad Air 1 . I found the marginal increase in size good enough, and the spec boost to be phenomenal! The 12.9 is too big for me. I usually do my mails, Facebook, stream Netflix KZread music and do a lot of reading on the iPad, so the 10.5 was the better choice for me. In portrait mode its just feels better in the hand when reading books, comics and holding it in bed at night. The speakers are actually quite good in both devices, though not once have i found myself turning up speakers up to full! Man is it a great device to have for basic tasks ..

Great video appleInsider

I’m using the iPad Pro 12.9 rn as I’m typing. iPad Pro 12.9 suits an adult and 10.5 would suit kids like me

I will now return my iPad pro 12.9. I‘ve tested it thoroughly for media consumption, games, work etc. and it is of course really good, but after a while I lost the wow factor for the bigger display. It feels chunky now, especially the bezels make the 12.9 look old compared to the 10.5. I will buy the iPad 10.5 instead, because 90% of the time I only surf the web and watch videos on it and it‘s smaller size makes it easier to use and it looks so much more beautiful and futuristic compared to the 12.9

This video made it clear to which size I am getting. Thanks

Thanks a lot ! It helps me to make sure that I will buy the 12.9" for my electric books.

Preamble Zero how’s your experiences been so far? I’m looking to replace my Wacom medium tablet.

12.9 is perfect for writing notes. The size allows you to mimic writing on a full 8.5-11in piece of paper.

The 12.9 was a big upgrade from my iPad Air since the iPad Air was very slow. I can do a lot of things on the 12.9 now.

Around a month I bought the Apple Pencil and Goodnotes 4. It's a great combination to replace paper. if I had known that before, maybe I would have bought the 12.9", but I didn't because it looks like a big monitor, it was too big for my usual apps in that moment. Now if I had the chance, I would buy it, but it is too late. I have the 10.5" and I like it :)

Wait for the new one coming out in June! It’s gona be Awesome!!!!

Ordered my iPad Pro 12.9 today!

I picked 12.9 inch because I usually use it for taking notes for university and media. I really Benefit from the larger screen because I can write more without switching back and forth between lines.

Thank you. Wasn’t sure on whether to get the 10” or 12”. Going with the 10”

keep up the great videos.

I've got the 12.9 inch original. I bought it to make notes in notability whilst annotating in PDF expert. Dual screen on the 12.9 I can still read the PDF but anything smaller would be impossible. If you're using your iPad for this sort of work 12.9 is only real option but if you're using it for just taking notes then 10.5 because the 12.9 inch isn't that portable!

My favorite part of this is the hunting and pecking at 1:48. Seriously if you're going to comment on how much easier it is to type in landscape mode, typing properly is a bit of a requirement to take advantage.

I agree with the video but I will go for the 12.9” model because I plan to use it a lot for handwriting and I prefer a larger screen for that. But it is true that the 10.5” model is more portable.

Think I’m going to upgrade to the 12.9” when the new model is released this year.

I'm getting the 12.9 coz i plan to use it for sheet music :)

I was thinking about buying an iPad Pro for University-use. Yet I can‘t decide if I should rather go with 10.5“ or 12.9“ version. I also don‘t know if 64gb are enough. For my purpose: I‘m studying economics and I‘m tired of printing all the documents and writing on extra papers without being able to write stuff right into the script. I would use office on my iPad and work with texts as well as underling important passages and taking some notes. Here and then I would listen to music, Play 1-2 Games and watch videos when not learning. Currently I have an iPad Air 1st gen 32gb and I want to upgrade because of the lack of stylus/pencil-support for making notes and not enough power. Thanks 4 helping!

@Luna Lily ... There's absolutely no debate. If it's for Art, go with the 12.9 version. Multitasking split screen will be significantly better with the larger screen real estate. If you're going to be using the Procreate app, the ability to split screen with a picture and Procreate is great. Also, you have to realize when drawing, your palm/fist/hand will be taking up a lot of screen real estate on a 10.5 version. The 12.9 gives you breathing room to do more.

Great video. Does your iPad play KZread videos in 1080p and higher? I went to Apple store to check it out and the KZread highest resolution was 720. The sales stuff did not know why. They said it is probably KZread restrictions which is add. Thank you.

The 12.9" iPad Pro makes it possible for the visually impaired to enjoy the iPad experience without having to give up too much of the viewable text. Selecting bold and/or larger text on a smaller screen means that at least some of the text will be truncated (chopped off) making it more difficult to interpret. :-)

Imagine u save 150 dollar to get same thing 12.9, .. the bezzel was so good and much smoother if u writing and drawing than 12.9 .. ..

As a college student, which size would you recommend for someone who primarily will be using it for note taking with the Apple Pencil? I have a MacBook Pro that I use for typed notes, homework, etc.

The 12.9 inch is just too big due to them bezels. I went with the 10.5 and it feels just right for me. Saving 200 bucks. Also the split typing really does help when viewing in portrait.

There's no doubt that the 10.5 is beautiful but if people really want to replace a laptop and have the ability to multitask with a lot of room, then the 12.9 is definitely the way to go.

10.5 for me...I wanted the portability and with the keyboard and the iOS 11 update, its better for me than a MacBook seeing as I have the 256gb model.

I’m planning on getting one to replace my MacBook Pro (too heavy). I plan on running an online store, and doing video content creation (iMovie, Lumafusion) However I plan on being a digital nomad with it, so portability is a factor. Is the 10.5 big enough? Also plan to read and watch videos a lot.

just wondering at 0:53 and so forward you used a little stand to hold the iPads! Do you mind telling me where you got it from or what they are called, because I need one for studying at school. I found it was easier keep it on the stool when I was at the apple store. thx.

Hi, i'm looking to use it in musical situations such as reading (partiture) its significant the difference for that situation? i like it smaller but i also use glasses so i need to have a good view

I went with the 10.5 because I wanted mine to be portable and I already have a MacBook pro so I didn't need a laptop sized ipad.

Thank you!

So there’s no multitasking edge over the 10.5 other than the bigger screen? Like 3 apps at the same time

For my purposes of looking at sheet music with it, I'd probably want to get the 12.9" one. Which my budget self isn't happy about.

I do have a question, I am a remodeling designer. I design home additions, mainly sunrooms. We are about to switch to an Apple based design app that will use augmented reality, much like Pokemon go, to actually design and "place" the room on the home. So I will be using it during design appointments to put into the homeowners hands so that they can move it around 2 view the room and its placement on their home. Would I be better off going for the larger iPad? I am currently using approximately a 16 inch laptop, but I only use it while sitting at a table. I think it would be easier for my homeowner's to handle the 10.5 inch, but it seems that they may get a better view with the 12.9. Your thoughts? I believe that the majority of the time will be spent at a table top but a good bit will also be spent standing at the back of the house allowing the homeowner to visualize what their addition would look like with the iPad in hand. So portability is not a big issue. I already carry around a case of the laptop. This will replace that laptop.

Im an artist and I love having a big screen so I think im going for the bigger one

I want to use this for classroom teaching to write things on screen with a lot of math and physics. Which size is right 10.5 / 12.9? After testing one's palm will the 10.5 give enough space to write? PS: I too feel the 12.9 could be too bulky.

I'll get the 12.9 because it will replace my 2011 mbp.

getting the 10.5 for games

my son wants​ to do designing in future so which should he go for 12.9 or 10.5 ???

Ugh it’s hard. I had the 9.7 Pro and ever since then I’ll only get the pro versions of the iPad but the thing I loved it most for was to watch videos or stream Netflix. Screen is gorgeous with way above average speakers so I think the 12.9 would be better. The only thing how long does it take to charge the 12.9. Apple needs fast charging Esp for the iPads. The minus charge quick. I had a 12.9 Android note tablet before and it took forever to charge. That was a waste of $1,000.00 bucks

Im gonna upgrade from iPad Air 1. What should i get? 12.9 or 10.5?

I have a question for you....why do videos not have sound if the video is an in-app video? For instance, in my news apps, if a video is embedded in with a story in the app, and the video plays in the app, there is no sound. But, if the video opens in another page, there is sound. One person in the Apple discussion forums wrote me to pull down from the top right on the screen, and the Control Center pulls down. She said there should be a red bell. If it’s there, I need to click on it to unsure it. Well, the red bell is on one iPad, the newer iPad Air, but not on the not so old iPad Air, the iPad I use for internet, the games, etc. So, is the red bell on the iPad Air made in certain years the only ones with that red bell? Is it certain operating systems only that have the red bell? Is there a second solution to enable in-app videos to have sound?
