Nothing will ever feel as big as the new iPad Pro. Nothing. Why is it so huge and why do I love it so much? Tell me why
This year, for the first time since 2010, Apple didn't update its flagship iPad. Except it did. Suddenly, the iPad Air 2 isn't Apple's classiest tablet any more. It's been overtaken by a more advanced, bigger brother.
The iPad Pro is not for everyone. It's simply too big for some customers which is why Apple will continue to offer the iPad Mini and the iPad Air 2. But anyone who likes to draw and paint or design and anyone who wants to use detailed apps and get even closer to what they're designing or studying...
During my time with the iPad Pro I couldn't help but draw comparisons with other devices out there, like the Microsoft Surface series, that are trying to bridge the laptop-tablet divide, some of which offer both tablet and full OS interfaces.
Apple's original iPad made the tablet a mainstream device, and for more than five years 9.7 inches was the largest diagonal iOS device available. Not anymore - we now have the iPad Pro, all 12.9 inches of it.
I don't use most of the advertised features of the iPad Pro. I haven't activated the split-screen multitasking feature more than a couple of times – just to see how it worked. I haven't used Siri.
Overall, the iPad Pro has proven to be a very different experience for me than previous iPads. The design is definitely familiar, with the same industrial design and general feel as previous iPads scaled up to a 12.9" form factor.
