I've gone back and forth between 12.9" and 11" iPad's since they debuted in 2018. Currently settled on the 11" model which IMO is the ideal for iPad as it exists today.
The only reason I will go up a size again in the future is if we get Xcode for iPad in some form. But even still, the 11" still exemplifies what I want in a tablet, something easy to carry around hand hold with one hand while casually browsing email/taking notes/web surfing. With the 11" I detach it from the keyboard way more often than I did with the 12.9".
The screen on the new 12.9" sounds amazing...but Apple really needs to give me a reason to justify the size/weight with software. I don't really watch any video content on my iPad other than YouTube, anything cinematic will be on my TV.
