I don’t think this version is rated any better battery wise, so I wouldn’t expect much change.
Yeah it’s not great.

3 hours, 33 minutes screen time and it’s already down to 36%.

1 hours 50 mins of safari
1 hour 42 minutes of youtube

Is anyone else having problems getting their iPhone (11) to pair to the IPP? The phone and the IPP see each other but the phone tells me the iPad is not supported, all updates on both devices are up to date.

Apart from that and a rapidly declining battery (I am playing with it a lot) which I am going to run down completely and then charge and then repeat, everything is hunky dory.

Edited to add: Pencil added fine and watch connected to phone fine as well, but never the Twain will meet apparently.

Picked up my iPad this morning and my keyboard was delivered lunchtime, and I cannot believe how much of an improvement it is over the latest iPad Air considering how new that device is.

The display is ridiculous when watching HDR content and the quad speakers feel as if you are in a cinema. The increased screen size from 10.9” to 12.9” is larger then it may seem, and it is much better for productivity and consuming content. ProMotion is also amazing, the UI is so smooth! I don’t think I could ever go back to a 60hz iPad now!

Worth the very early upgrade, my Air is going up for sale. Hope you are all enjoying your purchases.

My 12.9 has some tiny nicks in the aluminium surrounding the lens bump. They’re not really worth returning the iPad for, but they are bugging the hell out of me. A replacement could be slightly bent, or have an imperfect screen so I think I’m just going to order an ESR lens cover and try to forgot about them.

Whenever I buy Apple gear for friends or family it’s always perfect. I think I’m cursed.

Yep I purchased a rear, front screen protector and the camera lens which are all on my device

I take no chances with working Offshore and kids running around the house ??

Yeah - despite babying my 11 inch Pro I somehow still managed to get a scratch on the screen. Screen protector went straight on this one out of the box!

I thought I had similar but they did wipe away using the cloth from the screen protector

So white MKB and ipad 12.9 5g 512gb silver turned up at 11am on Friday by DPD. My ATV came by DHL parcel at 7pm.

All good so far. Very pleased with the screen quality. But a quirk I found is that if you play videos in YouTube and some other apps, black isn't black, it's very very dark grey. The 12.9 does shutoff the backlight completely on other things but not video black for some odd reason.

Battery seems to drain faster than my old 2018 ipad pro 12.9.

Need to find a good bag to hold ipad with mkb especially as it's white

Been to a Genius appointment this morning and it needs replacing but issues getting stock ATM so on with Apple support

The iPad isn’t getting hot in the slightest but it’s showing the warning on screen
That’s probably the issue, the SOC might not be properly connected to the chassis from a thermal interface perspective meaning the SOC is unable to dissipate the heat correctly. SOC is overheating white the chassis remains cool.

What amazing photo editing apps are u all using to make the most of photos on our new iPads?
I highly recommend Pixelmator Photo, Darkroom and Affinity Photo - the latter for the full pixel editing suite. Snapseed is also still a quick and powerful editing app.

Last night I was going a bit crazy….and I hadn’t anything to drink but it was 1am.

I could have swore I had a yellowish tinge on the right side of my screen just to the right of the keyboard…

My eyes much have been playing tricks with me ??
