I’m coming from a 2018 12.9 iPad Pro…..I love this 2021 12.9 pro. The screen looks gorgeous and I don’t see the blooming at all. I usually always use mine in the dark. I love it. Totally satisfied.
Super happy with mine. I had a 2018 12.9 iPP and really enjoyed it. Didn’t really have any reason to upgrade other than liking shiny new products. The screen is really gorgeous and I love the white Magic Keyboard option. I usually put a matte screen protector on because I do a lot of drawing but I haven’t been able to bring myself to cover this beautiful screen yet.
I am sorry to hear people are having issues. I just love mine. I have had several iPads over the years including the 2018 Pro. My Cellular 12.9 iPad Pro get's much better battery life than my 2018 did and I had the 2018 battery checked to ensure it was working properly. It has 95% battery life left. I think for me the M1 does a better job at battery management and I love the new screen. I have not noticed any blooming and the HDR is outstanding. I hope everyone can get theirs working right. WWDC should release the true potential for the M1 iPad I hope. #ipadOS15
Yes. Much greater brightness threshold and much faster than my 2018 model. The popular “issues” are non-issues to me. Not at all distracting to me during my daily use, and that’s coming from an OCD perfectionist.
Like my job, we dont let the public go into our back room. Unfortunately that’s the employee only area. I don’t expect to go with them to find any blooming on my device. Will be asking them how to keep the blooming to absolute minimum. I ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ My 2021 iPad ???
Easiest way to get him there, tell him Canada has agreed to remove all power adapters from their MacBooks and iPad lineup, he’ll be in his private jet in no time once he adds up the profits ???
Lol. Nahh. If he comes to Canada, I doubt he would show up in my province. East side of Canada is more populated than Alberta and British Columbia ??
If only we could get this gem in 4K HDR.
we can continue to wish, ya know what im sayin?
I love my 12.9 512 GB as well ? It's my first apple product ever and everything works as expected. Finally I can do all of my photo editing without lags on a device (thanks to Affinity Photo, this is awesome).
And the iPad is my main and only "computer-device", I'm doing all my tasks with it.

It is my first iPad after 9 years… and I’m coming from a sloppy Galaxy Tab S5e (which just received its last major update - after just 2 years of support).
Using these devices side by side, it’s incredible how much faster the iPP is. It’s like comparing your first iPhone to your last Android phone, you can imagine. I know S5e was 1/3 of the iPP price, but I got it for the AMOLED display. I’m happy XDR is killing it in that department too, it’s much brighter (on SDR and HDR) and the whites on XDR (with True Tone off) are incredible. I couldn’t get S5e to match it, even after fiddling with Screen modes and setting Adaptive display to the coolest white balance.
So, I’m really happy with the device. For a second I questioned if it was worth it but a quick glance on my S5e and Zenbook, I couldn’t imagine regularly getting back to these.

Where are these ton of threads with people sending theirs back? I follow a ton of technical sites and I haven't seen them. Seriously .. I'm a statistics guy too. Please help me out here.
Should morph this into a basic poll....
Personally, I like what Apple has done however unless something rises that makes use of the hardware it is just another overpriced dongle for my power cord.

Yeah on high brightness it drains pretty fast. For word processing, reading and browsing I’m keeping it at 50-60%, let my eyes adjust. You know sungazing is no good for your eyes, same applies for XDR.
I have owned every generation of iPad Pro except this most recent model, and I have had battery problems with every one of them. Not permanent problems mind you--I'll go a really long time with no issues, and then some dot release of iPadOS makes it so I lose like 20% battery a night for no reason. Then a couple of patches later it goes away, then it comes back. It's frustrating. The only solution I ever found was turning off wifi when I'm not using the iPad.I am also in 2 minds whether to keep it or not, need to see if my battery life improves.
If it does then I'll keep an eye on WWDC, if we see 'Pro' apps, then I'll make a decision
Granted, I haven't had any battery issues on any model since about iPadOS 13.3, so maybe they have it permanently solved now.
Absolutely unaffordable, as the basic one costs $3,000 here in Brazil, and that is for the 128 GB wi-fi model without any pencil or keyboard. The most expensive one, with the Apple Pencil and the Magic Keyboard, costs over $7,000. So, buying it is something that does not even cross my mind.
