bought the 2018 ipad pro 3 weeks ago with apple pencil.... my intention is to go paperless and be a bit creative....

surely paperless for the last 3 weeks... everyday go to management meeting and no need to bring that diary planner... and the note I took down is more easily accessible and neatly arranged... bought Brydge keyboard but end up not using it at all...

2020 ipad? hmmm it is ok ... the one i have now is a lot of fun to use for the next few years...

Same here. I like that the base storage is now doubled, 128GB seems more reasonable. The one thing I don't like is that I think this iPad Pro will be every bit as fragile as the last one and will bend easily with pressure!

I bought the 3rd gen 12.9” 64gb for entertainment and for light works like emails and presentations..after a year using now I’m down to 42gb left, so I’m good with 64gb.

Durability wise I’m ok, not even using super UAG or otter, just normal rm160 casing and no bent and etc to date...

It’s never meant to be a large screen phone, although arguably when it was first launched it did feel like just a big a$$ iPhone back then. But with iPadOS and the USB C adoption, it’s clear that Apple now wants this shift to a laptop replacement. We’ll see how it pans out. Are you getting one bro?
Usually we’ll be in the second or third wave launch countries, but now the only “wave” to be concerned with is that to do with Covid19 laugh.gif
True, and the old one supports the magic keyboard too. I’m not opposed to getting the older one if it is discounted significantly by maxis in the upcoming days or weeks.

Very tempted to get one, now cannot decide between the Wifi or Cellular version tongue.gif

I will keep my current iPad Pro 12.9 3rd Gen but probably will buy the keyboard. Currently I’m using Non Branded keyboard that have RGB Keys 😁 and its working Fine for my daily work.

mind sharing why spending more on cellular is worth it? in terms of daily use example

most places i would use an ipad would have wifi; and if not, would hotspot from my phone. also saves paying additional monthly simcard data.

Ya, I had the 11" Pro for a bit and I was worried about bending it everytime I place it in and take it out from my case laugh.gif

Cellular bro, having connectivity on the fly is really a convenience!

convenience is the main reason i suppose, i like the redundancy.
I'll always go for lte models myself. If you do, reconnecting to the iPhone every single time it goes into power saving mode is a major annoyance that's well worth avoiding for an extra bucks.
This has proven beneficial with the mini as it makes the iPad truly portable and standalone, without having to tether or beg for wifi.
Now, having said that, obviously if you never take your iPad outside, then just stick with the wifi version. Also if you treat the iPad like a laptop (very few laptops have cellular modem), then just get the wifi version and tether as needed.
Buy what you need.

I wished new Macbooks got CELLULAR MODEM built in.

Coupled with Unifi mobile unlimited data quota, it’s the perfect working machine when travelling.

Is cellular on Apple Watch worthwhile? I decide to go with non-cellular version just to conserve battery.

I had an iPad Pro with cellular but almost never used the cellular before.
Then upgraded to a newer iPad Pro with larger storage but forgo cellular this time.

Yeah, that's why I've been eyeing maxis' iPad plans - RM18 for 5GB per month...but to sign up for that must buy iPad from them!

Depends on you actually.

I use it for outdoor runs and gym. Literally tossed my phone aside and just rely on my watch for music and workout tracking.

Battery life enough to survive until end of the day with <10% left.

Actually I dont understand why our local telcos cannot just link to our existing plan instead of a new plan for your iDevices.

They used to have that multi-SIM thingy, but yeah, I agree, they should allow seamless integration of our mobile plan across all our devices.
