Review: Apple iPad Pro 11'

Inna purchased the 2021 Apple iPad Pro 11 for my upcoming birthday with a 128GB SSD and M1 processor.


 My current iPad Air 2 (from 2014) was getting a bit old, and I could use a newer iPad.


To complement the iPad Pro, I also purchased the Logitech Folio Touch iPad Keyboard Case (with a built-in trackpad).


 

It took me some time to restore my iPad Air 2 backup onto the iPad Pro 11, re-authorize all my applications, and re-enter all the passwords.

I will ship the old Apple iPad Air 2 to Phobio (for a Costco Rewards Card).
