Having owned both and used them for hours daily, I can say I don't agree with that. I bought the 12.9 and have stuck with it ever since because it's the largest iPad available. At first, the 12.9 seems to be too big but after some usage, it ends up feeling like the smaller model and I ended up wishing the 12.9 was an inch or 2 bigger. I'm 6'1" with big hands. Once the device is too big to hold with one hand for a long period of time, then that size and anything larger are all pretty much in the same ballpark. 12.9 or 15 inches, I would treat them the same, as a device that requires two hands to hold for a period of time and is too big to carry around everywhere like a phone.
But that doesn't go against their point at all.... The point is that nearly exactly 50% of people agree with you, and nearly exactly 50% of people disagree with you.
Who’s point, your point? Again, there is a difference between choosing what’s available and being able to choose exactly what you want. I’ve had several generations of the 12.9 because Apple doesn’t offer something bigger. If the car I drive only came in 2 colors, and none were the color I want, I would have to choose what’s available if I wanted the car bad enough and so would every other buyer.
Woah nelly! 🤣 Someone not agreeing with your pov does not automatically equal an argument. But hey, thanks for sharing.
You must be new to MacRumors. 🤣
I think the 11" size range is still what Apple and most others consider the "standard" size, and it always has been. And when I say "size range" I just mean the iPads that fill the size gap of the original iPad. (base iPad, iPad Air, 11" iPad Pro). I'm guessing those tablets have stayed roughly the same size as their screens have gotten bigger, because Apple knows that's the size most people find to be the sweet spot.
Yeah that was a PITA in the beginning when the 11 launched and developers didn't yet adjust their apps to the screen size.
Well the poll is asking about iPad Pros specifically. So while I’m sure most iPads out in the real world (probably more than 75%) are smaller than 12.9”, I believe it’s likely because most iPads out there are not Pros. But if we’re talking about just the Pros, I think a 50/50 split is more likely because of the people buying the Pros and what they use their iPads for compared to the non-Pros. Also the fact that the first year of the iPad Pro was only 12.9”—makes me think that size sells at least a comparable number to the smaller size.
