Another current one or the next version? What features are you hoping for?I really want another 12.9 lol I have a Apple addiction
This is exactly why an online screen comparison doesn’t give the full picture. In images, the 12.9 always looks more attractive. I had both previously and decided I should consolidate to one. Quite simply, I used the 11 more even though the larger screen of the 12.9 was preferable in many circumstances.I have both models, but I find myself repeatedly going back to the 11" because of the lighter weight. That 12.9" screen is inarguably nicer though!
I suppose they are different enough and it depends what you would use it for. However the 12.9 has always been too large to be portable for me. I also have a 13 inch MBA and I don’t find that portable either but the form factor is different. I’ve always preferred the 11/10.5 inch form factor as it’s easier for me to carry around the house. I find even the 11/10.5 inch to be to cumbersome for outside use. That’s why I always have an iPad mini.My main "reason" for going with the 11" is that I feel the 12.9" is too close in size to my 13" MacBook Pro. The 11" and 13" seems a better combination.
Yeah the 12.9 is not only heavy but awkward. I like to take notes with the pen, and holding it up with one arm is tiring. The 11 also gets tiring, but I can go longer! I’ve got a mini, and love using it for writing, but the screen is not big enough for comfortable multitasking and the lack of a physical keyboard makes it less capable. Hopefully Apple can make the next generation devices lighter. The 11 hits the sweet spot for now.This is exactly why an online screen comparison doesn’t give the full picture.

Nah 3rd 2018. I gave my 64gb 2018 12.9 to my wife then got a 2020 11 128gb. Basically it had nothing to distinguish it aside from the price so I got a refurbished 11 with 64gb 2018. Love it but I do like the big screen for split screen. So I’d love to get a 2018 with at least 256 fb or more with lte. I’d keep my 11in though but it would be nice to have a big screen to use from time to time.Another current one or the next version? What features are you hoping for?

I had both sizes and the mini - all had their use cases but decided to cut down to one and the 11 was the most used. I didn’t buy the bigger one thinking it would be lighter, not sure where you got that from.Well if you bought the bigger one thinking that could be lighter than the smallest one, the problem maybe is not the online screen comparison ?
When I held the 12.9 in portrait, b/c of my vision, I had to move my head significantly upward to see the whole screen. Got rather annoying. I like viewing in portrait.How is the 11 easier to see than the 12.9 in any way?
Agree, my 12.9” pro looks stupid when using It in portrait mode. ?When I held the 12.9 in portrait, b/c of my vision, I had to move my head significantly upward to see the whole screen. Got rather annoying. I like viewing in portrait.
each one has its plus and minus. the 12.9 is great and all, but 11 is definitely easier as a tv iPad. If only there was a folding screen lol best of both worlds.Once you get use to a 12.9” iPad it’s hard to go small again. ?
Foldable iPhone can’t be to far away. ???If only there was a folding screen lol best of both worlds.
not particular interested in the folding phone but the iPad... id love that. I want my phones to be thin.Foldable iPhone can’t be to far away. ???
Might be onto something there, 2 iPads in 1 ?not particular interested in the folding phone but the iPad... id love that. I want my phones to be thin.
I imagine the folding iPad as similar to folding magazine back for the 9 inch mode and then the big screen mode fold it out.

He didn’t say it wasn’t useful, just that the buyer should consider more than the screen size when buying. For example, my 12.9 nearly flips over backwards when I balance it on my legs as I sit on the toilet. In contrast, the 11 balances just fine, at least until my legs fall asleep. You can’t come to that conclusion by looking at an online screen shot.From your own post where you write that online screen comparison isn’t useful.
