It's minuscule. It's ridiculous that they make them with such a small amount of storage. It's so they sell people iCloud space.
He probably edited his post.
128gb is quite small

Rumor has it the next gen iPad Pro's will be announced any day now. Expect previous gen prices to drop in the near future.

I second this, again the rumors are that the 12.9" MicroLED will be a 13" OLED for the next generation. I believe that the 11" model will stay the same size but be OLED as well. Some leaked drawings show that both models have a thinner profile as well.

Check Macrumors.com and their "Buyers Guide".

The iPad Pro is the most overpowered Apple product in its entire history. I've purchased two for my mom over the years, but never again. The base level iPad does anything and everything you'll ever need. Without a file system, there is no need for power that you will never be able to exploit. Unfortunately, all iPads are effectively a large iPhone a decade-and-a-half after its release. I can't fathom why someone would still purchase the Pro, but I bouth two, so there you go! Unless you're a creator, its laughable overkill.

lol, lmao

The "PRO" was never meant for moms to browse youtube, facebook and make nextdoor posts about suspicious person does this.


It should go to some 3d/illustrator/on the go video creator whilst playing mirrored PS5/PC games in their off time.

Who buys an iPad Pro for their mom?

Unless your mom is a creator or artist or has a use for the features in the iPad Pro, then it sounds like you bought the wrong item, that's on you. You should've chosen a regular iPad and saved yourself some money. ​And you even bought it twice, like you said.

I have a very old iPad that i don't use very often. Would like to use it more and Wouldn't mind replacing it.

This 2021 model, and newest one, is there that big of a difference in performance to spend the extra $$ for the latest model?

Regarding the storage size on this iPad, my previous iPad Pro was 256 GB and I actually downgraded this time to 128 GB on the 12.9 Pro when I bought it in 2022, because of the new external storage options and so many things are streaming or in the cloud these days.

You can hook up a fast external drive to it and voila, you have plenty of extra terrabytes in storage for cheap, if you need it.

I think that my iPad Pro is great, but it's not my main computing device, so my answer to your question would be Macbook Air, if they could only choose one of them. Macbook Air gets you the full Mac OS.

... I think for me, I would see what the other kids are using, what the teacher is using, and what is the most popular device.
Some schools are into google chromebooks, and some schools are into apple stuff. I picked up a 17inch chromebook with 64bit-OS for 70 dollars in Excellent Open box (new price was 250 dollars) , and it is still fantastic device, and is updated until 2029.
I am not in school, so I don't know what your classmates are using. I also have 11 inch chromebook with touch screen and keyboard, that I picked up for 99 dollars with update until 2028.

Now, these chromebooks can be used in collage too.

Maybe the IPAD 9th gen and chromebook ... or if the kids are using apple MacBook Air's, maybe get that. Maybe call the school, and ask what they recommend and what is popular. Or maybe a windows 11 laptop would work.
Good luck with your purchase whatever it is.

With you 100% on this​. I was tempted at Xmas but decided to wait once I'd researched when the new models were expected. This deal is the same price Woot had it for in the holiday season 2023, Out of this World on ebay beat them by $20, so if you're not desperate wait until the end of this month annd you'll have more retailer options at better prices.

Not everyone is as fit and rude as you are!! Some people eyes and finger senses weaken, and hence need a bigger screen.

I don't disagree. The 12.9" iPad is a joy to use because of the larger and better quality display.

If somebody has poor eye sight and they don't mind paying extra to get the pro model, then go for it.

The power of apple's brand is just incredible. They regularly abuse their customers. (The EU just find them again for EUR 2 billion.) And those same customers come out in droves to defend apple's abusive practices. Stockholm Syndrome. Just incredible!

12.9" screen is very nice to read for older people, but the pro is the only iPad that has that big screen.
