You get Apple Cash with the installments, or just using the Apple Card. The nice thing about the installments is that if you decide you're tired of making the payments they make it easy to just pay it off completely.
Ok. I do get Apple Cash by doing Apple Pay just never did installments before. I’m surprised it’s only a 12 month option and not a 24 month considering other products have it and are cheaper such as the watch. If you pay it off early you lose the 0% and pay interest on the balance of course.

If you pay it off early, you don't pay interest, you just pay the remaining balance of what you owe. At least that's how it's worked when I've done it in the past.

I’m updating my iPP 9.7 to the 11” M2 iPP because the 16.0 beta was dog slow on the iPP 9.7.

So if my math is correct if you buy the 12.9" 128GB for $1099, you can expect a total of $32.97 in cash back. Does that sound right?

It is kinda sad that they still use the flimsy design. It's kind of ridiculous to not carry the iPad Pro in my backpack to prevent it from bending. Like make it a bit thicker and more rigid please and add a bigger battery if possible.

And a couple of pounds while you are at it? I carry mine in my backpack all the time, though admittedly its a decent reinforced backpack not a cheep bag.

Woke up to the shipment notice. It's coming from Rialto and I'm in Riverside. Delivery sometime tomorrow, but now I'm questioning if I should have gotten the larger one.

I'm coming from a 2017 11" Pro. I considered just going with the Air, but I know I would notice the loss of ProMotion on a screen that size. I don't really care on my iPhone, but on an iPad I think it's worth it to pay a bit more for the better screen. I'm very sensitive to PWM, so I wanted to grab what will probably be the last true LCD iPad before they move to all OLED. Sure, I could have saved a bit by going with the M1 model, but I buy an iPad every five years. It's worth it to me to spend the extra and get the latest.

Curious to hear how you get on with the screen @Chrispy

I made a video to shows the difference between my old 2020 iPad Pro 12.9 and the new one. Both has dark mode on and night shift on.

I have used an 11 Inch Pro iPad since 2018 and do not plan on switching to the larger model. I would like a mini-led screen, but I don't want the bigger size. It's a shame we have to choose one or the other. As someone who uses an iPad in a traditional sense, the smaller size works for me. Most reviews rarely show people using the 12.9 in the hand. It's either plunked on a desk for pencil use or on the magic keyboard. That might be okay for some people, but I prefer to use my iPad as it was originally intended. And yes, I have tried one out a 12.9. I returned it.
