iPad Just got my 10.5" Pro!

[Gibson88]

are they still shipping with the 12w adapter? Also is the home button still a button (clicks) or is it more like the 7?

Yep, 12w, no the home button is exactly the same as the 6S.

Congrats OP! I hope its as good as you expected, if not better. I've got about a week until mine comes :/

@OP, how did you confirm it's got 4 gigs of ram?

 

[profets]

Nice! Was this in store today?

 

[Gibson88]

Used a system check app.

 

[Brookzy]

Where did you get it from, OP?

 

[Gibson88]

Just in case people think I get my kicks from telling lies over Internet forums on Monday afternoons.

Where did you get it from? We all seem to be still waiting for the delivery

 

[Gibson88]

Currys in the U.K. are selling them, and if anyone decides to go out and get one they're doing £20 off online orders but if you mention it in store and you're lucky they will honour it for a pick up purchase.

You do not need to prove it. No doubt!

Hope you enjoy!

You were number one! Congrats!

Someone's getting fired!

Geekbench scores as requested.

It seems Currys PC World are updating their website as we speak to stop this happening but at the time of writing you can still order a space grey 64GB model for immediate pickup.

Hi Caris, would you test graphic benchmark gfxbench 1080p texturing offscreen? i just curious what graphic chip that apple use in a10x soc, if textured above 40% of a9x ipad pro i think apple using PowerVR Furian architecture. Thanks Before.

It was bound to happen as many stores are getting stock today for release tomorrow. Obviously the proper controls were not put in place for a sale today at that place. I would not be surprised to see a few more sales BUT I seriously doubt from an Apple or Best Buy store who probably do not even have them on display yet.

 

[KarimLeVallois]

Whoa! I'd recommend buying this one online, that's a bit steep for in-store...

Hi Mate, where is the £20 off online orders? Can't seem to find it

Go to "top deals" on the product page.

I'd come to think this was the year Apple would pack USB-C to Lightning cable and wall adapter.

 

[AppleRobert]

Will you be getting a keyboard? Did you have one for your 9.7?

 

[Simacca]

Very.co.uk are doing £100 cashback on all iPads even the 10.5

 

[Jambo67]

Go to "top deals" on the product page.

Yep, when you click on that deal it says that you need to buy a microsoft package as well an the ipad to get £20 off

 

[DNichter]

Awesome man, enjoy it. Looking forward to getting mine tomorrow. Have you loaded iOS 11 on it or are you sticking with 10 for now? Just looking to get some feedback on how it is performing.

Ah I see what you mean, maybe I just hit extra lucky today then and the staff member didn't check haha. Could go on their live chat?

Secondly, as an add-on comment to your initial impressions of 120 Hz, I too thought the same thing. I got to see firsthand what it looked like after the Keynote was over and quite frankly, I was blown away. I said then that this is going to be one of the biggest hardware feature upgrades of this year's iPad (perhaps aside from the 10.5" display) and people have to experience it to understand what I'm talking about. It will blow you away.

For existing iPad owners, I reckon the adage applies: "You can't miss what you never had."

Of course, there's also the flip side to that coin: "A luxury once sampled becomes a necessity."

Current plan is to buy the Pro 12.9 (2017) but keep my Pro 9.7 as my mid-size/mobile tablet. Alas, I'm afraid I'd get spoiled by the display on the 12.9 that it would compel me to upgrade the Pro 9.7 to the Pro 10.5.
