iPad Pro One thing that frustrates you/you wish your 10.5 Pro could do...

I agree. All of my contacts only use what’s app now and a lot of them have iPhones.
I’m not sure that’s because of the other Android users in their circle. Personally, until WhatsApp was available on web / Mac, I avoided using it.
I have been using LumaFusion, for multiple layer video editing. It has three layers of video with audio, plus three separate layers of audio. It also has key framing and the past few months it has had Chromakey. There are multiple filters, the ability to make filters and import Look Up Tables (LUTs). There are also distortions that can be combined or treated separately and really do neat things when key framing is used in combination.
It is not nearly as sophisticated as Final Cut Pro, but it is really amazing. On the developers' support and share forums I have seen professional quality videos produced with it.
When I bought and installed it on my iPad, it also installed on my iPhone. While it feels cramped on the iPad, it is fully functional.
No, I don't work for the developer. Nor am I paid to recommend it. I am just impressed by such a cool product at such a low price. As people know on this forum, I am a big fan of saving money.
You can calibrate your iPad—kind of. Both Spyder and iDisplay have calibration apps. Using them on the iPad mini 2 (8-bit, much worse quality screen) I was surprised how good/close the default calibration already was! Yes, the calibration improved the colors slightly but I stopped worrying so much after that.
Odd that you're seeing a big difference. Are you sure both the iPad and the screen are using the same color space? Are they both 10-bit displays?
Wow, they must have added that feature since the last time I checked. I wonder if you can now edit headers and footers too.
One thing I wish it could do is be the same physical size as the Mini 4.
I’ve been using Android for years and, in fact, my phone is still an Android device.
However, iOS has advanced further enough that its advantage in apps is no longer out weighted by its shortcomings in file managing and I’ve been enjoying my iPP for a year now.
But... there are two things I’d really love.
I know the first one is impossible: I’d like to have more access to the WiFi radio so that apps like Fing were as powerful as they are in Android and apps like WiFi Analyzer were possible at all.
The second one, however, may be that I haven’t yet found the right workflow. Let’s say I want to download a PDF from a web and send it to someone, via e-mail or Telegram. How would I go about it? I don’t know how and it’s really exasperating.

I'd like to know this too! The closest my online searching found was using the tool per post #13 in this thread. But as I don't have an iPad I cannot verify the workflow is smooth, or works at all.
I use Documents by Readdle. GoodReader can do it, too. I'm guessing majority of 3rd party PDF readers do. Documents can work with all formats, though. I find it much more useful than Apple's Files app.
I use WiFi Analyzer on my Android devices. The nearest thing that works on my iPP is AirPort Utility. It shows available networks and RSSI for the channel in use on the networks.
When I open a pdf on the web in safari I can directly email it from there. Little square button in safari. Am I misreading what you want?
I wish it could run all of the native iOS apps on my iPad. It’s stupid that there are still a bunch of native apps that won’t. I’d like Health, Activity, Calculator, Weather, Phone, Wallet and Compass to be iPad compatible for those of us that use them. I’d like to be able to access my voicemails from the phone app on my iPad too.
I’d also like it to show all my other devices in Now Playing, and not just Apple TVs and HomePods. If my iPhone or watch are playing something, I’d like to be able to see it and control it from there. Similarly, I’d like to be able to control playback from the iPad on those devices.
Similarly, I wish it would show the batteries of all my devices everywhere in the batteries widget - my phone and Apple Watch in particular.

I wish that I could still run 32-bit apps on my 10.5 to play the game collection that I spent so much money on and haven’t gone through yet. I do keep an older iPad around for this still, but find that since the games are not on my regular iPad that I just don’t get around to them.
I also wish that there were more coding applications for iPad. For my work, I’d like to connect to the Oracle databases for development. I’d also like to be able to develop with Xcode since I have an interest to learn it.
I still really feel that I’d like to see a proper file system and mouse support since these would be especially useful for me for programming on the iPad.
