I purchased the 512GB Model for the added storage. Great performance as expected for any Apple product. Great sound from the added speakers on this model as well. I'm so glad that Apple has decided to keep the 3.5mm or (1/8") Audio Output Port on this model, otherwise I would have purchased an older model. I really am upset at their decision on the removal of the 3.5mm Aux. jack, NOT the brightest decision in the world to remove the auxiliary audio output jack on all of the new Apple products iPhones. I really don't know of anyone who likes this missing feature, why change something that works?... Apple really thought that it would be wise to try and reinvent the wheel, NOT VERY SMART APPLE! It's always best to have added options when it comes to my choice of headphones or earphones when listening to great music. The new lightning dongle is a joke... Really, (Who wants to carry around another flimsy dongle) that doesn't even give you the option to charge your phone when using the dongle with headphones.... REALLY APPLE? What were you people thinking? Keep the Audio Aux. port and give us the option. Besides, music still sounds so much better from a great set of professional wired headphones anyways. If removing the 3.5mm jack was such a good idea to them, why aren't they brave enough to remove it from all of their computers too... It's simple, nobody would buy one. DJ's across the nation use Mac Computers for one reason...(((SOUND!!!))) You take away their headphone jack option and you just killed your sales on your entire fleet !!! Bring it back APPLE... "If something works, leave it alone"!!!

This is not the latest generation of the iPad Pro series. In fact, Apple no longer makes the iPad Pro in the 10.5 Inch screen size. The newest generations are 11 and 12.9 inch screen sizes; yet, there's little difference in terms of performance between this unit and the most current iterations. Admittedly, the new series use a supposedly faster chip (the A12), while the model under review ran on an earlier chip. Yet, for most people, the difference in chip speed is barely worth the difference in price. Similarly, the newest models of the iPad Pro have supposedly faster wifi connectivity; but since actual wifi speeds depend on a whole series of factors, including your router set up, this difference may not matter that much. The most important element in any iPad is of course the software, and to that extent, there is essentially no significant difference in the ability of the variouys iPads to run compatible software. iOS12 will install and run just as readily on this iPad as on the newer ones. And, the 10.5 cost me significantly less than the newer iPad pros. It's a good bargain.

I am an android user but have not found an android tablet that works as well as the iPad. I looked at the Samsung Tab. 3 but became disenchanted with their tablets when last two my wife had stopped being updateed after lless than two years. Little to no support after a short time killed that idea. Apple tends to continue supporting their hardware for a much longer time allowing the iPad to have a longer life, I do have problems with IOS in that there is a lack of customization but I have to admit the device does just work. Getting use to many of the capabilities as well as dealing with the limitations, I have IOS 11 beta running and the new “file app” is a joke as are any of the file managers in the store. This thing is fast. Everything just runs fast. Multi tasking is not as good as on the Galaxy S8+ my current phone of choice. Battery life is very good. Still find new things to do every day. The Pencil is good just no place to keep it without a special case. Prefer the S-pen on the Samsung Notes. For other android users , NO I will not be going to an iPhone. But I do believe in using the best the tech for my needs and the iPad Pro fills my need for a tablet.

I have no idea about the new features. I wanted the additional storage space...528GB...no more choosing for about a year...Comixology eats up storage space... I like the larger screen, but can no longer hold the iPad with one hand for extended periods of time. As always, setup, ease of use, screen quality are top notch. I miss the Apple cases (expensive, but so slim). I have a Speck case (my second...the first one gave its corner protecting the iPad from a drop...iPad fine...Speck case not so much). IPad does what I want it to do in one of the most elegant and enticing packages available. I am not a power user. Video and photos of my son’s high school orchestra concert turned out well despite a darkened, open theater. Sound quality was better than average. Other than that, and lots of reading, I can’t comment much. Comixology is a dream on this screen with this form factor.

I take and edit lots of pictures so I needed something with a lot of storage and decent processing power. I’ve had this ipad less than a year and already have over 50,000 photos on it, at about 5MB each. After a photo shoot I’ll upload hundreds of photos with the Apple SD card reader - they upload very quickly. Then I edit them with the Photoshop Express app, amongst others. This ipad hasn’t let me down yet - I can’t say enough good things about it. It’s also been great for downloading movies off Netflix and streaming music and video without a glitch, along with all the usual stuff like email, surfing the web and Facebook. A wonderful product. If you like things done fast and don’t want to wait for them to load, this is it!

Never been an Apple fan. But this is a nice unit. But my first new unit had an issue with the touch screen, just shy of 30 days in. Everything worked, displayed fine and executed but the touch feature failed and Geek Squad couldn't fix it and gave me a new one. Second one still working, although definitely not a clone. A few features seem just a little different, like being able to fully select Dropbox as a storage location from apps. This 2nd one only wants local or Apple cloud for storage and Dropbox isn't an option, even though it's available. Otherwise, the 10.5 pro is the perfect size and speed with really great battery life.

I purchased an iPad Pro the first time it came out (but returned for personal reasons) and that one seemed much faster than this newer model. Aside from the larger 512gb storage, the 1st version seemed much better overall actually. I really expected more but how much more can they really change I suppose? I did learn that the color surrounding the screen makes a big difference. I got white surrounding mine but the black is MUCH LESS distracting and makes movies extremely better to watch on it. I wish I could exchange mine back but too late.

I pondered whether to spend this much on my 8yo son, but I am an apple lover and familiar with the products, so this replaced his Samsung tablet. I could never figure out the prior tablet. Thought maybe Amazon kids tablet was the answer. Yes, economical, but you're limited on what you can do, so here we are and couldn't be happier with the IPad Pro. My DS is also becoming quite a sketch artist with the use of the pen. We got lots of memory so it won't become obsolete or unusable in the future. I think it'll last a while.
