First day with the the new IPP12 was a challenge. The new form factor was the factor that made me wanting to give it a go once again.

I tried the first version of the 12” but returned it as I felt it was to big and heavy. The only concern I had before the purchase was about the size. Prior to this one I had the 11” IPP from 2018, before that I've used just about every version of the iPad since the original iPad was released. So, after 6 months of use, how are you guys liking or disliking yours? What are you using yours for?

Even 6 months later, I catch myself being taken back by how beautiful the screen looks. My initial concern/bother with the blooming from the mini LED screen has reduced dramatically I still notice it sometimes, but I am much more impressed by the screen and the image it produces. I even picked up a Playstation Dualsense controller to use with it. I use it for media consumption, microsoft office suite, general web browsing, photo editing with Lightroom/Photoshop, occasional video editing through Lumafusion, drawing with Procreate, and even recently started picking up gaming on it more, which was nearly exclusively done on my iPhone prior. The thing is still just as speedy as the first day of use. Using it every single day, I am still ecstatic. So I returned my 256GB M1 iPad Pro and ordered a 1TB. However, I realized quickly going from a 2018 12.9' iPad Pro to the M1 iPad Pro, I kept the same amount of storage at 256GB and it wasn't enough. It took longer than I expected to get used to it, but I finally did. I have an LG OLED TV and so the blooming initially bothered me, but I thought I'd give it some time to see if I could get used to it. I preordered one right when it was available and I was initially pretty happy, but had a hard time adjusting to the mini LED screen. I'm curious how you guys are enjoying or not enjoying your 12.9' M1 iPad Pros. I don't post much hardly at all, but here we are nearly 6 months after the release of the new iPad Pros with M1.
