For everyone curious about the size of the 11" iPad, this is the 2017 iPad in a thin shell case on top of it! It's essentially just a sliver wider and a smidge taller.
@rosemaryorchard I’m still waiting for my 12.9” iPad Pro to ship, but I’m pretty sure, based on everything people are saying, that i made the right call going with the bigger one. Been using an old 9.7” one, which is significantly smaller than I’d like; I considered the 11” this time, but I wanted a bigger keyboard and full size apps when multitasking, and now that the 12.9” has a smaller footprint, I think its going to be really great. Thoroughly enjoyed your review the other day, BTW. All of you with yours are making me so jealous!
