I have a 2017 10" iPad Pro that's dying, have been waiting for new iPads to replace it.
I do most of my work on my M1 MacBook Pro attached to a Studio Display. I use my iPad mostly for ebook reading and web browsing. I'd gotten the Pro back in 2017 hoping it could be my main machine but found limitations of iPad OS too frustrating for productive work (mostly writing, Keynote presentations, photo editing, some video).
So when new iPads some out I don't need a Pro for work - but am hesitating between Air and Pro because of the OLED on Pro.
I'm a camera enthusiast and post-process RAW on MBP/Studio Display using Capture One, Affinity, Topaz. One frustration is how photos that display nicely on Studio Display look different on each of my screens (iPhone 14 Pro in addition to MBP, Studio Display, old iPad). I'm not a professional, so I only rarely print out photos.
I've thought of buying a mini-LED 12" iPad Pro to used using it as a 2nd display while doing my photo editing on MBP, then using it to show photos to friends, family, maybe keeping it plugged in when not in use so it can act as a "smart photo frame." But it's pretty pricey for such a limited use. And I've found 12" is too large and heavy for carrying around & uncomfortable for simple reading, web browsing.
I've been thinking of springing for the 11" OLED iPad Pro, thinking it might serve for displaying photos, consuming content - maybe as "smart photo frame". Wondering whether the OLED will be worth it - I'd appreciate opinions.
