Question of the Day: Have you ever been to an airshow?
Ipad pro 2020 availability ?
- Thread starter bar1

Do you use it predominantly on the stand – or are you fine using the iPad "naked" off it as well?
That's probably the single biggest reason I would go for the Folio(?) keyboard over this – since the former at least serves as a cover, and I am too clumsy to not have protection on the iPad!

This is how I have mine setup, in a case and a separate BT keyboard
Shew, it never is easy to watch him do his durability tests
Definitely will be keeping mine in its case.

Hi, I would say 90% of the time it is attached to the keyboard. very convenient to use

What keyboard is that? How does the trackpad play along with the new cursor support in iOS 13?

It’s the X-Folding Touch Pro Folding keyboard, I got it in 2017 with the Galaxy Note8 when Samsung ran the DeX promotion, we got this keyboard and the DeX dock, been using the keyboard with my iPad Air 2 and now 2020 iPad Pro.
It works pretty great, trackpad could be more sensitive though, don’t expect Mac level sensitivity, it works great with the iOS 13 cursor though. Also the keys on the left side by the fold (T and V especially) have been slightly compromised due to the gap to fold, also not backlit.
What I really like about this keyboard is the amount of travel in the keys, they feel great and the shortcuts work including Search. Battery life is also pretty decent, it automatically goes into a power saving mode if you don’t use it for a while and then wakes up when you touch it, can take a few secs to reconnect to the device.

There seems to be a stock shortage with the istore and incredible at present. The iStore has a waiting list that you can add yourself to.

There is a big-ish thread at MacRumors around the 2020 iPad Pro availability, some people who ordered in early July are still waiting and may only get their devices in mid to late August in the USA, supply seems to be a huge problem globally.
3 week waiting period in the Netherlands. Luckily got one at a premium reseller .

Glad you managed to get it early to, a lot of peeps having to wait too long ,lol.
Wish it was mine. It is for my wife’s work. She needs to illustrate.

By the way for those people coming from older 9.7inch iPads like me, here is my little comparison of my 2020 iPad Pro 11” next to my old iPad Air 2, as you can see not much between them, the screen real estate is so much greater on the 11” Pro despite it being only slightly larger than the Air 2

Got the perfect companion for my iPad Pro, a pair of Sennheiser HD 350 BT headphones, they do a pretty good job for watching Netflix in bed as well as listening to Music and Podcasts, great balance of audio, bass is not overwhelming and the Battery life is just insane. Got them lost Monday (28th Dec) and they only hit 40% battery today, very impressed!

Indeed! I jumped on this very deal with some Vouchers I was gifted
so I paid about R600 out of my own pocket for them.
