Hi all,

I have a 10.5 iPad Pro which still performs well. I don't need to upgrade for performance.
I read quite a lot on the iPad and I wonder if the experience will be (even) better with the new iPad Pro 11.

Any thoughts?

You would get a slightly bigger screen. If you can afford it - why not. You can also enjoy the ’quality of life’ upgrades of CPU, RAM, camera, Thunderbolt, Face ID etc as well.

What’s wrong with the screen quality on the 10.5 Pro? I have one and it’s perfectly fine. The 10.5 Pro still has plenty of life left IMO.

There's nothing 'wrong' with the 10.5 :) Reading on the iPad for longer periods of time is not that comfortable on my eyes and I wonder if the 2021 screen is any different and maybe worth the upgrade in that regard.

The 10.5 Pro has a slightly better screen than the newly announced Mini 6 (Brighter & ProMotion)

Mini has more PPI, but I've had the 10.5 and now have the Mini 5 and you won't tell a difference.

If going down to the Mini, it should be for the form factor/size change more than anything else.
