Still debating but thinking I’ll get a better price selling my current M1 12.9 now that in another year. Ordered for pickup a 13“ space black 1 TB nano-texture with Magic Keyboard and pencil pro.
Edit: Based on comments here I just switched to a standard glass. If I want matte I can get a screen protector.

ZBrush For iPad
Break free from the desktop! ZBrush comes to iPad with a fully reimagined user interface and touch-based controls.
That's my new use case (if pricing isn't insane). Their mac app is powerful, but the UX has an incredibly steep learning curve (that's being kind), so I'm hoping the native ipad with the redesign will be more approachable. That's really the only thing that the M4 is going to be pushed for.
I also plan to use it via screen share to retouch in Lightroom and photoshop (I don't use their cloud apps, so it's my only option).
Otherwise? It's mostly a content consumption device. I spend a ton of time reading/watching movies on it, so having a better screen is worth every penny. I used to use it for working off-hours, but the company just implemented MDM, so I got my evenings back ;-)
Casual gaming is the other use case. I'd had ideas about playing games like Civilization or RPGs on it, but I find I like mods too much, and without a real file system, they're basically impossible to use. One thing I want to try is using remote desktop to my gaming PC and see if the performance is good enough to do that.
And, well, I wonder if we're going to see something at WWDC that needs the M4 chip, and is actually worthwhile.
For me, best possible available. It's mostly me being a screen snob who won't buy an iPad without ProMotion and OLED has been my #1 most desired feature since 2017.
Originally ordered a 13” 516GB black Pro but I’ll return that when it arrives next week. Instead, I ordered a 13” 1 TB black Pro to take advantage of the full CPU and also get the nano glass. So excited!
Turns out they double billed me for the Apple Pencil Pro when i only ordered 1. (had to call them and sort it out)

AppleCare+ for 2 years
5/15 pickup
Would have done nano-texture but didn’t like that the bezels were still glossy! That would have driven me nuts so ended up going with the standard/glossy display as I’ll put a screen protector on it.

IPP is new to me. This is adding to my toolkit for photo/video editing in the field; was tempted by the nano texture until I saw the tiktok circulating around. Not to mention $$$. I'll just get a screen protector if I feel the need. The ol' iPad 6 will continue to serve as the late night kindle/netflix thing.
Pick up May 15 in the morning.

Back in 2021, I bought the iPad Pro 12.9 (5th Gen), Wi-Fi only, in the 1TB size when it was released, along with the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard.
👉 I just now ordered the new iPad Pro 13” (M4 chip), Wi-Fi only, in the 2TB size, with Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard.
Reasons? My current iPad’s battery has diminished in it’s charge level and has noticeable less battery life than when it was new. I also need (want?) the OLED display as I use the Adobe Creative Suite. Additionally, I’m also looking forward to the lighter weight of both the iPad and of the keyboard.
I’m to pick it up at one of my local Apple Stores on Wednesday, the 15th.

❓❔Where are these devices now? Is it like the annual iPhone virtual tracking party here? Can we track them from China on the airplanes to various cities here in the U.S.?
I cancelled this second order and opted for the standard glass instead since I‘m not the intended user of nano glass. In store pickup next Wednesday.
I added it at first, then saw it added four weeks to delivery time, so saved $100 and get delivery 5/15. But glare really has not been an issue on current 2020 Pro

I'm glad I don't want the 13" this time around. It seems a bit of a rip off to still have a $300 price difference just for the bigger size. I know that used to be the case for the last few generations, but that's because the bigger iPad had mini-LED while 11" still had LCD.
Yeah, you are correct. For some reason, there are more 13 inch configuration available compared to the 11 inch models… I’m guessing Apple is holding onto them for their stores.
I think those will be the most popular size given the cost difference as @xxray stated.
