iPad Pro 12.9 Discussion Thread

Nah. Surface 3. Coming from the RT, the Pro2, and now to the 3, the change in aspect ratio makes a huge difference despite having the same 10.8inch. The reason I'm fine with smaller screen is probably because of my nearsightedness. That said, having more screen estate is always nicer, but seeing the current state of the Pro4 right now, I'd rather wait til the Pro5, haha.
The reason why microSD card is great is I can share a single one across all my tablets and phones. No file transfer or network required... a shame that with a "Pro" in the name, the 12.9" still doesn't support microSD card. Would be great if they suddenly add a standard SD size one in the future (like their Mac laptops).

 

Thanks, it's good to know there are such options since I'm 95% certain to switch to an iPhone later this year. But, to be fair, these are more like substitutes for USB flash drives, not always-in and non-protruding microSD cards.

 

Nice! So I can directly edit and read any file off the microSD card right?

 

I think some will find the pit show that is this thread interesting. Specially the silliness about the battery, and one person not getting when they are being messed with(by apple die-hards).

I think this was mentioned earlier, but at max brightness this thing has an un-Apple like short battery life. I just used 25% of the battery charge in one hour, just doing some outdoor PDF markup. Ouch!

Edit: Found it. So yes, 4h battery sounds right. That's Surface Pro 1 level battery life..

 

Indeed, at max brightness this screen sucks up battery like nothing. Luckily for me I never need to use it at such level of brightness: indoor it's too much and outdoor It's useless to paint with, like any other tablet I tried.
