When I reviewed the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, I said that I was having trouble envisioning the type of user who would choose it over a “real” computer like a MacBook Air or Pro. I still feel the same way today.
Great performance. The A9X is still a fast chip, and it’s a big upgrade over the A8X in some important ways., Characteristically great build quality., Great screen with a wide color gamut. True Tone isn’t essential, but it’s definitely nice.
Smart Keyboard is more cramped, which makes typing more frustrating., Aside from Apple Pencil support, it doesn’t offer a ton of features that the now-cheaper iPad Air 2 doesn’t also offer.
