Watch: What's new with the 2017 10.5-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro

I will buy the IPP 10.5 but need a better keyboard than Apples' and current Logitech.   The best keyboards are made by Logitech and I use that with a iPad Air 1.  This is a Folio bluetooth keyboard.  I hope Logitech will make one for the IPP 10.5.  

These tablets kick ass, even compared to the latest 13" MBPs.

Mike W.,

There are a huge number of articles out there which center on the 10.5, but few focus on the 12.9.  Could AppleInsider please install the iOS 11 beta on a new 12.9" and then tell us if the 12.9" version beats the 10.5" in terms of how info is displayed on the screen?  Are there real usability advantages to the more expensive 12.9 that make it more of a laptop replacement than the 10.5 could ever be?  Or does the expensive 12.9" just increased the physical size of everything that is displayed on the 10.5?  In other words, is the 12.9" just a "large print edition" of the 10.5" that serves no practical purpose?  (I realize movies would look bigger and better on the 12.9", but I want to know about things other than how good movies look.  I also realize the onscreen keyboard is larger, but I want to know things other than that.)

I know it's expensive and more people will buy the 10.5", but a much more in-depth focus on the 12.9" would really help us make a more informed buying decision.

Thanks!

Excellent video. I appreciate the high-speed commentary.

I posted the article, but had nothing to do with the actual content of the video. I will pass your request along to the staffers that have the review units.
