I like my new iPad Pro 12.9. It is a well made and very good looking tablet. I did not like the lack of a manual, I prefer being able to read the instructions for a device rather than hunting through apps to find instructions. I also do not like the fact that Apple wants me to use apps that I do not want to use. Siri being a good example. Especially, after reading the part about sending what I say to Apple. My conversations do not belong to them. So far I have not found a way to stop the tablet from saying that I have not completed my setup, because Siri is not loaded. I view my privacy as mine and no one else's.
I knew I should have gone bigger than 128GB because of the nature of my usage. I really wanted to go cheap considering the extras I’ll need to get later. Some things are a little buggy with iPad OS 13.5 or whatever but they feel like shortcomings from moving on to what they’re going to do in 14. I can wait. It’s an excellent device and comes in handy for so many different jobs.
