I really want the 12.9" pro (I have XXL hands) but can't justify the hefty price tag. $1k just for basic media consumption is insane…BUT the size is LOVELY.

My concern is getting the 11'' pro that I may get buyer remorse because it the same size as the Air or base model iPad.

Maybe I'll be happy with $600? Idk ☹️
Or switch to a larger Samsung tablet for cheap. LOL. Apple is overpriced but makes nice iPads. But yeah, they know it too and charge a premium for it. What they charge for additional storage is criminal. No way around it really unless you buy previous models or open box units at a discount.

This. The samsung s7+ or S8+ is the better media consumption tablet, the screen is OLED and the speakers are phenomenal for a tablet.

Quote from JamaalJohnson :
For me it all comes down to the price. If the price is within $50, then go with the pro.

For an 11 inch tablet, I don't think most of us would really care about the ultrawide back camera as much. Having a good camera is great, but the air's camera more than meets it's needs. Also the front cameras are the same. I can't imagine pulling this out of a bag to take pictures with the rear camera, though I've seen others do it.

Same with speakers. The speakers on the air are good enough, and if I want better, I'd use headphones or BT audio.

So really it comes down to the screen. It's nice to have better speakers and camera too, but those would weigh in pretty low in the decision. Most of those improvements are not the sort of things you'll feel every day. ProMotion is the biggest benefit.
Great breakdown of the comparison between the two. I am in the same boat, get the iPad Air 5 or iPad 11 Pro. The prices right now if you catch both on sale Air is around $500-$520
The Pro is $600 if you can catch it. The big difference for me is the storage size. The base Air only get 64GB vs the 128GB on the Pro base, if it was not for this I would just get the Air for the kids because I am not sure if they'd notice the reset of the difference.

I have Samsung S8 Ultra. The screen is awesome, no comparison to Apple stuff. I hate surfing the web on it though because a lot the browsers convert sites to mobile even when checking "desktop" in the setting for Chrome and Firefox. I found an alternative browser to use but just hate that it can't be forced in the 2 main browsers.

Everyone..instead of trying to fight on Sunday for this, Best Buy has an open box excellent condition for $594, still eligible for AppleCare+ for the 2021 IPad Pro 11" 128gb. FYI Smilie

Rather than fighting, most will be trying to PM, which if successful, is for a new sealed iPad

When exactly did you find a dumb enough or uncaring BB rep to overlook the actual start date?

Also, did you PM via Chat or in-store?
