iPad Pro 12.9" M1 iPad Pro 5th Gen User Satisfaction 6 months in?

Returned it , too heavy and too much blooming. Kept the 2020 version instead. Mini led poor execution by Apple.

I've moved to space gray for most things that I purchase from Apple, when available of course; they are decidedly sleek for my taste. Glad you're enjoying it for the little time you've had it! The processor is fast!

I've been using it every day since I've got it and I've found as of recently that I am using it even more. Since picking up a game controller, I have played hours of Call of Duty Mobile and picked up a couple more games to play. The screen is lovely, but not only that, I've bumped everything up to the highest settings available and this device doesn't even flinch! Not only that, but having played Call of Duty Mobile for a 3-4 hours, I really thought the battery drain would have been much worse, but really it only went down a minimal amount (maybe 15-20% but don't quote me on that).

I do use it for everything though. Thankfully the 2018 Magic Keyboard still works for this device (despite what Apple says) so I didn't need to purchase another keyboard. It's also my main photo editing device and going from the 2018 to the this one it is noticeably much faster. Even 6 months later I still am surprised by its speed!

That's a happy thing to read: that six months later, you're enjoying it so much. Very cool.

I have to say the speakers are incredible for what they are

How is the screen in the 11 inch model?

I have an iPad Air and contrast is terrible for watching videos. Since the 11 Pro has the same IPS panel it probably is also terrible for watching videos. The bars are not very black and therefore image quality also feels washed.

I can’t see the Pro being too different. It’s the same IPS technology and LED lightning.
