Questions about ipadpro

Everything in the question is right. The cost performance of 9.7 is higher than that of 12.9.

The biggest difference between the two is the display screens with different sizes. 12.9-inch version of iPad Pro is basically twice the area of 9.7-inch version of iPad Pro, and its width is equivalent to the length of the latter. A bigger screen means more content, but at the expense of portability. If you buy an iPad Pro, you will frequently use accessories such as Apple Pencil and smart keyboard, or plan to use it as a portable substitute for your notebook. Obviously, the 12.9-inch large screen will be more comfortable to use. However, if you can use Apple Pencil only by taking notes occasionally at most, it is still entertainment-oriented, and the portability of 9.7 inches may be more important. Here, I would also like to remind my friends who plan to choose 12.9-inch iPad Pro. At present, there are not many applications to adapt 12.9 inch version. On the other hand, the 9.7-inch version does not have this problem.

In addition, it should be noted that from the screen performance, the 9.7-inch iPad Pro introduced later is actually better. Apple also made it clear in official website that only the 9.7-inch version can support wide color gamut and True Tone technology. Apple said that True Tone can automatically optimize the screen parameters such as color temperature, saturation and contrast according to the ambient light, which may be more important for professional graphics users, but the average user can basically ignore this difference.

In addition to the screen performance, the camera of the 9.7-inch iPad Pro is also better, and the parameters are basically the same as those of the iPhone 6s and iPhone SE, while the 12.9-inch iPad Pro remains at the level of the iPhone 6. The 9.7-inch iPad Pro is equipped with a brand-new iSight camera,1200,000 pixels, which supports real-time photos and automatic HDR. F/2.2 has a larger aperture, sapphire protective glass and flash blessing. In terms of video, it supports up to 4K/30fps and 720p/240fps recording. On the other hand, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is only 108.

Of course, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is still a big brother after all. Although both of them are equipped with A9X chips, in fact, the CPU and GPU of the 9.7-inch version of iPad Pro are down-converted, and the storage capacity is only half that of the 12.9-inch version. At the same time, it should be noted that 12.9-inch iPad Pro also supports USB 3.0, so photographers can choose an SD card reader with lighting interface that also supports USB 3.0. In addition, 12.9-inch iPad Pro supports two charging specifications, namely 5.2V/2.4A and 14.5V/2A. The former corresponds to its own 12W charger, and the latter can match a brand-new 12-inch Macbook 29W charger, which means that if you buy a Lightning-to-USB-C interface data cable separately, it should be greatly improved.

Finally, let's look at the price. At present, the Bank of China's 9.7-inch iPad Pro and 12.9-inch iPad Pro are available in 32GB, 128GB and 256GB. Considering that the cellular model of the 9.7-inch iPad Pro is not yet on the market, we will not make a comparison for the time being. The price of 9.7-inch iPad Pro is 4388 yuan, 5388 yuan and 6388 yuan respectively, and the price of 12.9-inch iPad Pro is 5888 yuan, 6888 yuan and 7888 yuan respectively. Although the price of the 9.7-inch iPad Pro is higher than that of the previous iPad Air series, it is still much closer to the people than the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. However, if you plan to replace your notebook with 12.9-inch iPad Pro, 32GB is obviously not enough. In fact, you can choose many ultrabooks, including Macbook Air, at the price of 6888 yuan for the 128GB version. So the conclusion is that if you just want to taste fresh food or mainly entertain, the 9.7-inch version is obviously more cost-effective, but for those professional users who are extremely pursuing productivity, the 12.9-inch version of iPad Pro may be a better choice.
