iPad Pro To those who fully maxed out their M1 iPad Pro 12.9” with 2TB & Cellular…

Got the 2 TB but not cellular. It will never leave the house. Purely entertainment focused. Take lots of pictures (on iPhone) when traveling along with 4K video. Will be great having all of that downloaded on the iPad for quick browsing. FaceTime with friends will be good with Center Stage. Will watch some shows with AirPods Max to enjoy Spatial Audio. Really excited! I’m still using the original iPad Pro as my daily driver.
What if you end up losing power and don't have access to WiFi?
I would use my phone as a hotspot.
Of occurs with 2TB, just store a bunch of media on the iPad.
I love having the maximum storage on the iPad.... when traveling or in case of a power outage, it's nice to have a full series or two downloaded (from previous iTunes purchases) of a show that I can watch from season 1 to season 6 + any where and any time. If you have a decent power bank, you're good for a looooong time.
With 2TB it’ll all be local on the iPad. No need to stream anything.
I used to have Seasons 1-4 of Game of Thrones on my iPad. That was very nice while stuck in a hospital overseas for a month with what seems like a 20" CRT TV only showing local channels. I'll probably still stop at season 4 if I ever reload GoT on the iPad.
Storing many PDF files, and many 4K videos.
some of the PDF files are very large. Same goes for some of the 4K videos.

You been talking to my wife?2.9 inches seems a bit small.
I just prefer to get the biggest, best product I can. I prefer to manage my money and not live with the regret that I would've, could've, should've. I prefer the big screen, I prefer to carry a lot of movies with me in case I am out of range of wifi or cellular. I work hard for my money and I am by no means rich, but I can spend on some things that I like, and I like my Apple products.
I'd venture a guess and say happy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Buy what you need and/or want and be content. I opted for the base model, but that's just because of my usage and preferences.
Over the last few years, the iPad pro has become my main personal computer. Yes I still use my macbook pro for work 9-5 and have a mini as the server for the house but iPad does 95% of what i need day in and day out. With travel, cellular is a must for me. Plus with AT&T payments i only end up paying ~1/3 of the device before selling it for the balance and getting the new one.
I became a quadriplegic last September. I have limited use of my hands. Before that I was into photography and editing drone video on my MacBook Pro. I actually watched the spring loaded event to see if new AirPods were coming out. After seeing the iPad Pro segment I realized that I use my iPad for everything now. I’m having spine surgery again next month. I will use the iPad cellular for my month long hospital stay. I also learned that when I’m in a wheelchair van I cannot see out. I will use the iPad to watch movies when we travel. I’m hoping the iPad gives me enough independence to return to photo/video editing when I recover.
I second scoobysnax's well-wishes. I took care of a quadriplegic friend for about 3 years. Morning and nighttime routines primarily, so my heart goes out to you. Stay strong, stay positive, and best wishes on your recovery!
Thank you very much guys! I’m doing great. Let’s get back to talking about iPads.
I need my head looking at! I have had every maxed out iPhone made, every maxed out iPad made and yes I have the 12.9 2tb wifi+cellular on order for the 27th. whats Worse is I don’t mean when I need to upgrade, I mean every single year i upgrade both (iPhone since 2007 and iPad since 2010). I am very lucky as I can afford it and nothing else suffers as a result.
however, I do have over 115 thousand photos & videos (and growing) which total nearly 950gb. So the 2tb will be welcome (as well as the other upgrades).
I sell and gift most of my old tech but still have seven devices that I cannot sell, such as an original iPhone and iPad (first editions) a iPhone 4 (love it) and a X.
been using Apple stuff since 1997. I just need to work out where they hide the ‘catnip’ in their products!

I’m only upgrading because I want a big HDR screen, finally it’s here!
And now that it has a Mac capable chip with up to 16TB of RAM and thunderbolt 4, I figured I won’t be upgrading for a LONG time.
so I got 2TB of storage and AppleCare+ Since I use my iPad everyday and love watching all kinds of movies in 4K if you guys know what I mean. HDR movies + spatial audio with AirPods Max on iPad is going to be awesome in bed.
as for cellular… I rarely use it. But it is convenient. I would use it a lot for college, but I don’t think I can use an iPad for computer science program

Premium tablets have been my daily driver for the past few years, Surface Pro LTE and currently a maxed out 2020 iPad Pro 12.9 since release last year.
I’ve preordered the maxed out 2021 12.9 because
- The specs are impressive and I anticipate improvements coming to the OS and apps that will utilise the hardware and make the user experience even better.
- The iPad Pro is my daily driver and I want the best in the category that delivers my workflow.
The iPad Pro is pretty much a laptop replacement for my use case, plus a whole lot more versatility, so it is worth it for me to heavily invest into it.
