iPad Pro Ordered the New IPad 10.5

Legendts said:
Im just waiting for those that ordered the 10.5 to give some feedback before I order, but order I will, maxed out space grey only because I like the black surround. Kind of chomping at the bit to order though.

Any comments on purchasing a "new" model and any expectations re teething issues?

The teething issues will somewhat be like the 12.9" model currently faces. It's a new screen size, and there are still a number of apps that haven't switched to auto-layout which would support: 12.9" screens, 10.5" screens, split screen mode. So the support for split screen and the larger screen real estate won't be perfect. Otherwise, this is really a 2nd generation iPad Pro in other respects, and especially if it does come with 4GB RAM, will be a good model to hang onto for a while. At the very least, you don't have to deal with the USB2 lightning port that came on the 9.7" iPad Pro. That's the one thing I regret, since it made importing RAW photos from my 36MP camera a giant PITA.

And yes, I'd love it if they did other colors with the black surround. I'm more than ready to do something other than Space Grey, but I want a black surround.

I plan on getting a 10.5" 64GB model but only when I see a deal that grabs me. Best Buy's $25 deal is decent for a unreleased Apple product but I smell better deals elsewhere. And I wouldn't even pre-order a iPad unless you're getting money off or a gift card. At the end of the day the iPad 10.5" is still an iPad especially since it's not shipping with iOS 11. I'm using the beta right now on my iPad mini 4 and it's getting reverted back to iOS 10 before I go to bed. Nothing but bugs galore.

You need patience OP on this one. iPhone 8 pre-order from Apple/carriers; yes. iPad pre-order from Apple; no.
 
I like my 12.9" fine. Had I been smart, I would have ordered the new 12.9" IPP instead of the 10.5". Ordering the 10.5 necessitated ordering a $160 ASK on top of it, whereas I could have ordered the new 12.9" and upped the memory to 512 GB for about the same money.

I'll try the 10.5" and see how I like it; could return it and get the new 12.9" still.
 
I've been on the fence since the keynote. FINALLY hit submit! 10.5" 256GB - rose gold. I had a hard time choosing a color becuase I love the rose gold but prefer a black bezel. I bought the ASK too.

Either my niece (who is the 3rd family member to own my old iPad 3) or mother (who has an iPad 4) will be very happy when I hand down the Air 2. :)

I'm going from a space gray iPad Air 1 LTE with 32 GB to a space gray 10.5 iPad Pro LTE (I just love the LTE convenience factor) with 256 GB. Needless to say, I'm pretty excited to get my new toy next week. Time to buy an Apple Pencil and a case!

I pretty much knew, even before the keynote, that I was going to upgrade. My Air 2 is still a great device, I haven't noticed any real slowing yet, but I want to make sure my iPad is powerful enough to handle all iOS 11 is bring to the table this fall. Mine will get handed down to my grandmother most likely to replace her mini 2 that is getting a big long in the tooth.
 
Caved. Ordered s/g 256GB wifi 10.5 Pro, Apple Pencil, brown leather slip case and blue smart cover... I was going to just do the 64GB, but I will be putting a LOT of movies on here so... my iPad Air 2 (64GB) still has 48GB left lol. Obviously I haven't used the space much. That is going to change when this gets here next Thursday.

Thanks and appreciate the feedback.
 
Selling my iPad Mini 4 and getting the iPad Pro 10.5 inch (64GB Wifi Space Grey). Sad to see that iPad Mini is being phased off.

May leather sleeve has shipped, but no movement on my iPad Pro 10.5, anyone's order moved from Processing Items to Preparing for Shipment?

I can't say I get it unless it's a really bad seller.

iPad - 9.7" and 7.9" with old fatter form factor and A9 chip

iPad Pro - 10.5" and 12.9" - thinner with A10X


That seems like a logical line to me. Even iPad mini, iPad, and iPad Pro seems logical.
 
I had a mini 2 for awhile and found myself just rarely using it. The original size just is a better multipurpose device.

how is the camera on iphone 7? since it is the same camera on new ipad

I love the camera on the 7. I've tried the Samsung galaxy s8 at a bestbuy and it's better but slightly and I find ios camera to be straight forward and easy to use.

The anticipation, may be better than the actual products....

I swear I order stuff on amazon just for that purpose I think

Though I ordered my pro at bestbuy for store pickup because they use UPS where I live and they don't deliver until after 4 usually. I can just drive to my bestbuy before I head to my final ( ugh my college does them in June).

I caved in, sold my 9.7" Pro and bought the 10.5" Pro 256gb. Now, I am keeping this one for several years. (Said that about the 9.7" Pro :D)

That performance, and display, along with the camera improvements and 2nd gen Touch ID convinced me.

That mirrors me. I went all out on the 9.7" Pro and the I saw this model and caved. Now I think the 10.5 will be my longevity model. Heh....

OLED screen? Nice. 3D Touch? Sure. I can't really think of anything else they can add that will lure me in.
