For those who have a 12.9 previous gen how is it when traveling?
If I do end up buying, this will be my only Apple purchase this year so not quite that bad.I bought a new LTE Series 4 Watch and XS Max in September and had been saying I was going to hang on to my 10.5" Pro for another year before upgrading. I caved on that idea weeks ago and ordered a new Pro today. My wife is......annoyed.
I only used 32 of my 64 GB on the 10.5”, so I went with 64 GB on the 11” too. I went WiFi only with keyboard folio and Pencil 2 and it was about $1100 in the end. I think this design and UI language is going to be around for awhile and I prefer iOS to macOS these days, so I didn’t mind spending the money. As for my spouse...she’s building a bridge to get over it. Slowly.If I do end up buying, this will be my only Apple purchase this year so not quite that bad.
Still in two minds, though. Top storage 10" class LTE was ~$1030 just two years ago and now it's $1700 for top tier 11" ($1900 for 12.9"). And really, with tax, that's almost $2K for 11" and over $2K for 12.9 and I'm not even buying any accessories.
I’m right there with you. Any time Apple redesigns ANYTHING, I have to have one.I’m sure I’ll wind up doing this, but I think I can hold off until I at least see one in store. At that point, I’ll be screwed. I’m such a sucker.
I usually wait out redesigns until more apps have been updated to support the new resolution. Storage upgrades were an automatic upgrade though — until now, that is...I only used 32 of my 64 GB on the 10.5”, so I went with 64 GB on the 11” too.

Caved like I knew I would. I rarely buy myself presents so I'm okay with this.
What kind of portfolio case?512gb Grey LTE with portfolio case in Charcoal.
Yeah I ordered while that lady was talking about cursing in the background and being all nervous.
And now I’m pissed about the RAM only being 6GB on the 1TB model. Debating whether I should downgrade to 11” WiFi 1TB for future proofing, which still costs more. I hadn’t planned on buying this year but my wife needs a 10.5” with keyboard cover so I figure I might as well upgrade and she can have mine.
