iPad Can the 9.7 pro handle new multitasking features?

[Goodfellha]

So just to summarise the maximum active apps when multitasking:

iPad Pro 9.7/iPad Air 2
1 main app + 1 floating app + PiP
2 main apps in splitscreen + PiP

iPad Pro 12.9 (new & old)/iPad Pro 10.5
2 main apps in splitscreen + floating app + PiP

Sounds like it, yup.

All things considered, reckon that seems fairly practical given the display size/resolution.

To be quite honest, I actually have split screen disabled because I keep accidentally bringing up the sidebar when simply scrolling and that was a major annoyance.

That doesn’t seem like a huge deal to me. Fair enough considering the hardware.

Looks like the first gen 12.9 is behaving similarly to the 9.7 when attempting to multitask with a 3rd app in beta 2. I wonder if this is intentional or just a bug.

Do I regret buying the 9.7 IPP? No, because I bought it based on what I needed and it delivered really well for the one year i had it.

Do I feel that Apple shortchanged me with 2 GB RAM? Yes, because the larger pro already had 4 GB RAM then. But I already knew that before I bought the IPP. The features it offered back then made up for the lack of RAM. So yes, I'm happy with my 9.7 purchase and would still do it all over again. But that doesn't mean i agree with what Apple did.

To be fair, people who bought the 12.9 IPP then also felt shortchanged because of the new display tech when the 9.7 IPP came out.

Yup. Exactly. I often open a lot of Safari tabs so more RAM would definitely have been appreciated.

However, for my usage, the Pro 9.7 256GB LTE with warranty was a better upgrade over my iPad Air 16GB LTE than the iPad Air 2 128GB LTE for $200-300 less.

That said, I do wish the iPad 5th gen had been released a year ago. Would've been perfect for my mom.
