iPad Pro iPad Pro 12.9 for the lady of the house

[Dolmacje]

Hi all,

7 years ago i bought her an ipad, needless to say it's a bit dated now

So i have been eyeballing the new iPad Pro + pencil to replace it. There are still some apps that work on it though and i wondered if it's easy peasy to migrate these apps from one pad to the other... or is it not worth the trouble? it's mostly game-apps and some sketch-app...

I also would like to buy a case or sleeve with integrated keyboard and room for the pencil, any tips or thoughts on that are welcome!

Cheers and many greetings from Belgium!

If the current iPad is in active use I’d backup and restore the backup to any new device.

I’d consider the 10.5 model too, as the 12.9 is huge. Think about what apps are going to be used and whether the larger model is the right one.

I love the 12.9 inch. I had an Ipad 3 before, and it feels far too small. 10.5 is larger, but 12.9 is perfect for me.

The only issue could be deprecated & unsupported apps and incompatibility with newer iOS version.

ok, thank you, i would like to get her the 12.9 because i think space is of the essence when having a couple of apps open at the same moment and want to switch between them effortlessly.
I might have to look into the incompatibillity issue of the older ipad's apps.

seems like there's no official keyboard + pencil solution yet, or i just didn't find it yet...

What do you mean by official keyboard + pencil solution?
There is the pencil, there is the Apple Smart Keyboard and together with the 12.9 you can store the three of them in the leather sleeve Apple has designed and now offers trough their Apple Store.

I got the otterbox symmetry back case for my iPad 12.9 and using it with the Smart Cover. It has a spot for the Apple Pencil. It could be used with the Smart Keyboard. I am pretty sure there are quite a few other 3rd party back cases around that would work. I do really like having the spot for the Pencil.

I just got my 12.9 on Friday but so far really enjoying it. I set mine up as a new iPad and most apps had a way to transfer what I needed over. Now to figure out why my iTunes is not recognizing any of our devices, may need to reinstall it.

12.9 is definitely awesome, and the Pencil and ASK are great complements - I'd also like that leather sleeve, but have yet to get it for myself
