Ok, I swore I would never get one of these, but I got a good price and couldn't resist. Pros: What I have found is that it's a huge improvement over the 9.7" iPad for most every use, especially web browsing, watching videos or movies, and many games. The Apple keyboard is a must, IMHO. The pencil is a great plus as well, the size of this iPad makes this more natural than the smaller ones. Cons: It is best used on a table with the smart keyboard attached. It is definitely not something you'll want to be using when hand-held. It's too heavy, but the size of it is awkward and is sure to cause sore arms and shoulders. I would suggest that the 12.9" is a perfect overall laptop for over 90% of users, as long as they are using it as a laptop. That's my use case, and though I still have to go back to a full featured Mac/PC to do some of my work, I find the portability and long battery life of the iPad 12.9" a compelling reason to pick this over my laptop when I'm heading out for a coffee or to the library.

Rumor is iOS16 isn’t gonna be compatible take that with grain of salt same was said for iOS15.Works great with retina, but lack of support means web apps and later lack of social media apps full support for streaming apps. Still great entertainment steaming without Apple IPadOS Support.Maybe about $150 tops or $100 shipped?

First time owning an Apple product, I bought mine used with charging issues and a dented body, but even with the defects it's a powerful tablet and I have no complaints. Everything is streamlined, and everything feels very premium, and it's huge. Like. This thing is as big as my surface pro 3 but is half as thick and has more screen real estate and feels more natural to draw on. Only downside is you can't actually run full pc programs, but who cares, get yourself a Splashtop account and you can use them on the tablet through your PC. Work around exist. Anyway, this thing is gorgeous to look at, and a real pleasure to use. If you are on the fence about the price tag like I was, and if you don't mind cosmetic defects, go for a used one, I'm not disappointed even if it takes forever to charge.Read full review

I have seen where lots of people discovered this large format is not for them. I, however had the large format in mind and it has addressed my needs perfectly! I am a musician that plays every week at church, and several times a month with my band. I was having to transfer my music sheets from large catalog binders, into smaller set list binders. Both binders held the paper in plastic sheet protectors. When I saw how musicians were using this large form factor with ForScore, I instantly began lusting for the iPad Pro. I have an iPhone 6, and the processing, storage, resolution, and audio are like my iPhone on steroids! The wifi radio appears to receive my router's wife signal much stronger. Watching Netflix on it is delightful, as is Facetime. One thing to be aware of (and it might have been on its predecessors), is that some apps that have been on most all of the previous IOS versions are absent on this release. I had to acquire from the app store a calculator, weather, compass, and flashlight app. My messaging apps appear to sync between my iPhone and iPad because I set it up on the same apple account. Getting back to the music application, you musicians out there will love the elimination of hard copies of sheet music, music stand (if you use a mic stand). Less bulk and clutter at home and on the road. All i had to do was to make sure I had PDF versions of my music on Dropbox, and voila! It has made my practices and performances many times easier because it had eliminated all the paper handling. Again, if you have a specific need that this large format can fill, you will love this. Or, as with most tech-dependent folks, you want bigger and faster, this iPad satiate your hunger until the NEXT thing comes along. Enjoy! BTW, I had an outstanding experience with my eBay seller with the purchase of this item.Read full review
