- Ya'll have been waiting for this one :D In this video I go into depth on my extensive experience with both the iPad Pro 11" and the iPad Pro 12.9" (that I recently picked up) in the realm of college and personal work. I firstly go over portability/footprint aspects, then conduct a speaker quality test, talk battery life and then go in depth comparing many of the iPad Pro apps we love side by side in order to give you an idea as to what to expect from each form factor. I then get into why you should go bigger or smaller in regard to price and screen real estate.

Just thought i'd point out that the 12.9 link is the 11 inch one ^^
Yes... both of these links go to the 11"...
are you using Paperlike ?

Alfred Everything Passive income is a wonderful thing what can I say :)
I love reading books on my back in bed with the 12.9. When it hits me in the face, it keeps me awake.
Had the same problem. I got a black eye from my iPad

Loooooool

"the extra two inches makes a huge difference in my opinion"
-Noah Herman 2020
Absolute unit of a quote right there
Size does matter. Truly it is.
That's what she said ...
12.9 actually has bigger capacity battery and last slightly longer.

I got the 12.9" and originally thought it was way too big. I thought of switching to the 11", but as I started taking notes in class and carrying it around, my eyes adjusted to the size. It looks perfectly normal now, and I can't imagine switching to a smaller size!
Yea I know!! It's nuts, now my 11" feels like a iPad mini lmao
Honestly, just get a mini for those times the 12.9 is too big. I originally had the 11 and while it was great, there were way to many times it was either too big or too small. Since most of the time I thought it was too small I decided to get a 12.9 to try out for a few weeks and just decided to keep it. I then sold my 11 for enough to justify getting a mini as well. Its definitely an extremely luxury to have 2 ipads, but its so awesome to always have the right tool for the job.
Yeah! I thought my old 10 inch tablet looked like a phone lmao
I want to use it for university to study. Which size do you recommend for it?
@@kate_v_ 11 is the perfect as you need more space on the desk for 12,9.
"the 11 inch feels kinda small"
ipad mini: am i a joke to you
minis are for kids and old ladies .
Dan Rustle 🙃 STFU
LMFAO
I’ve got the iPad mini and upgrading to the iPad Pro 11 idk what it will be like
@@DanRustle For real man. It's like a micro. The one upside though is I can fit it in my jeans pocket.
Freaking Finally. Dude I can’t tell you how long I’ve been searching for a video like this. I’ve been struggling about what size to get lately.
I've gotten so many comments. So happy I can finally help :)
Endgame this video is simply amazing...
I wish someone did a 11 pro vs pro max comparisons this in depth...
Noah brings in rare content that can be helpful
You get and iPad already....i want one😰😰😰😰😰
Who's here after seeing the new ipads

may 2024 after seeing the new ipads lol
When I first found this channel I was kinda "eh" about iPad. But the amount of depth to your iPad content made me genuinely interested in learning all I can about the iPad line
Just got mine in the mail today. czcams.com/users/postUgkxhcEDB3r-OJ3_X5hQzr7k1ZofTQy1ao_U The corners of the box was a little smashed but I think that’s more of the shipping’s fault. iPad was in perfect condition though. I ordered the yellow one thinking it was going to be a bright vibrant color. Instead I looks like more of a Gold color. I personally prefer the gold look. Definitely not disappointed but just a heads up to the ones expecting a brighter cream of yellow.
I decided to go for the 12.9” and don’t regret it one bit. So far it’s been excellent. I use it for digital note taking etc for uni. Very expensive, but when paired with the Apple Pencil, it works wonderfully for me
I would say the 12.9” is best if you are mainly working with the device supported on a desk or table. The 11” if using mainly as tablet in the hand. If cost is major consideration, just go for the regular iPad which are also capable devices, now with keyboard and pencil support. I have the 12.9” iPad Pro 2018 and love it - my favourite device ever!
I have the 11 inch it’s perfect for me as I manly use for a tablet take some notes and some minor things but easy for city breaks and take with me
I've only been watching you for like a month and you've become one of my favorite youtubers. Keep up the good work. 👍
I just sold my 12.9 pro and bought the 11. The main reason was i started traveling a lot. 11 inch is much convenient if you use your ipad without the keyboard especially in the plane or on the couch. If u use it more on the desk and much more like laptop replacement then definitely go with the 12.9.
Sold it for how much?
Yup how much????
I’m gonna sell my 12.9 for the exact same reason.
@@Seanonyoutube i mean you could give it to me(≧▽≦)ಡ ͜ ʖ ಡ
Is it impossible to use on a flight?
Guys, if you are just regular users and do not need to use any specific app, just for college and watching series, ear me out:
I've had the iPad Pro 11" for over a year and a half now, and it is very comfortable to carry arround. On a daily basis I read manga with it, watch anime, or youtube videos and taking notes.
Now, that said... The *ONLY THING* I miss about this iPad is the extra space while using multitasking.
I do all my notes with it, and rarely use any paper, so when I am writing on the split screen in one side and I'm looking for information at the same time on safari, it gets super uncomfortable because I'm forced to zoom in and out to write all the time. You don't have full view of the stuff you are writing and it slows you down soooooo much.
So, in my opinion you should pick 12.9" for school work (if you want to use split screen), you may have to sacrifice portability but I think it's worth.
You also have the option of going to a shop and compare sizes before ordering one.
Prefer the 12.9 inch, I take with me everywhere no problem. It’s great for multitasking!
this comparision was so much required!! thank you Noah!
I wish there was a size in between or maybe a 11.5”.
It would be PERFECT
Same. I think bigger is better thought in this case.
I disagree... I think both 11" and 12,9" iPads serve very different usage, and that an "in between" model would only bring the cons of both iPads along, not the perks. 👍
- Smaller one keeps all the specs of the big guy but brings it all into a much more portable device.
- The 12,9" though tosses portability to enhance the usage experience, and makes for a beautiful display and gorgeous media consumption ✨
I think you just gotta pick one, and decide whether you want a smaller form factor to enjoy it on the go, or a bigger one to enjoy using it as a whole ♥️✍️ What do you think?
@@JA-hg6ee I'm buying it for educational purposes so I want to be able to write on it and use the web while doing other things in the screen. I also want to use it all the way through university.
Kevin Zhang the 12.9 is about the same size as a sheet of a4 paper
Noah great video man, I just went from an 11" to a 12.9". I was as well driven initially by the fact that I preferred portability vs. screen size. And yes the 11"is real nice, no complains, but I decided to try the 12.9" and I fell in love with it. I don’t mind losing portability for the extra screen size. It’s worth it. I won’t go back to the 11". Definitely go with the 12.9" if it’s your first iPad Pro, you won’t regret it.
Is it convenient to work with 12,9 video editing on sofa?
Even though the it’s my first iPad Pro I still chose the 11 over the 12.9 because it’s easier to carry around and plus I don’t use iPad Pro accessories except the stylus.
Great video Noah! I own the 12.9 inch iPad Pro. If you plan to walk around your house using your iPad and you primarily use it for reading books or magazines, surfing the web, media content and CZcams on the couch / social media then i’d suggest you get the newest iPad Mini 5 or iPad Air and save some money. The new iPad Mini has the older design but its internals are future proof and its super lightweight and portable. It’s all you need with the 11 inch Pro being massive overkill for those listed tasks. For students taking handwritten notes, or using a keyboard case and multitasking you should definitely get the 12.9 if you can afford it. The extra screen space is an absolute luxury for productivity. The size difference is NOT that big a deal if you carry it in a school bag, its unnoticeable in a backpack. The difference in weight is 300 grams. People on here saying.. “If only they made a 12 inch iPad”. Trust me, you will get used to the extra .9 of an inch, if you owned the 12.9 inch you’d probably laugh at that comment in a month.
Rafael I use the Logitech Slim Folio Pro. I really like it.
I disagree. I’ve had the 12.9” for 5 months and still find it too bulky anytime I want to hold it in my hands and not on a table.
@@Seanonyoutube what do you think if I'm planning to use it in my hands on sofa for video-editing?
@@Seanonyoutube Isn't 12.9 comfortable for video-editing in my hands (on the sofa)?
@@alexanderv.753 get something like Levo G2 deluxe ipad stand or cheaper brand
I just got the 12.9 and I love it. I use it primarily for online schooling and the split screen size for note taking is 👌🏻
Exactly the comparison I was looking for, Amazing!
I have the 12.9 inch, always wondered the 11 inch. I just received an 11 inch for test.
After using the 11 inch a few hours i felt was missing something, so i switched back and yes it’s the screen ratio i think. I highly prefer the 12.9.
Indeed the audio is more mature on the 12.9, and the audio on 11 inch is really different in the highs (less pleasant / natural).
Will be testing side by side some further. If you don’t leave home with the ipad, to my opinion the 12.9 is the better choice despite the extra weight.
I like your videos. They are perfect. Continue in this way
The ONLY TRUE iPad Pro size comparison on CZcams. All others fall way short and fail to provide all info needed to make a comfortable purchase.
I really prefer the 11! I use it for school work and notes. Compared to the 12.9 it looks small, but when you use it, it’s really perfect and feels large but comfortable to hold. It’s great for studying but also great for relaxing in bed with some Netflix.
You the man Noah! Been lookin forward to this one.
I can’t believe I’m just discovering your channel now, the quality and execution of your videos is so beautiful
This was a fantastic comparison video! Thanks so much!
I sold my old iPad Pro 12.9 1. Gen to buy the 11“ one. Absolutely perfect size for university & netflix👌🏻
Duc Anh Michael Pham how is note taking on it?
Lol I bought the new one for CZcams and cod mobile and the one I bought 11 inch 2020 128GB wifi plus cellular apple care engraving
Didi Dogster I’ve had the 11inch 2018 model for university and Netflix the last two years and I’m happily upgrading to the 12.9inch 2020 model as multi tasking space is something I really need
Dont you guys recommend 11” ı was thinking by 11” i’m a student too can i write comfortably with 11
I'm regretting buying the 12.9. I might downgrade to 11 soon. The12.9 is a bit too cumbersome for regular handling and portability for me.
I had a 10.5 iPad Pro and upgraded to the 12.9 when it was released in 2018. No regrets. I love my "big" iPad. I use it every day and the size hasn’t been a problem for me. I think it would be difficult for me to go back to a smaller iPad.
As someone who is worrying about he size between the two, thank you so much. I’m fully in the 12.9” camp now. Thank you.
Noah! Always remember u r the best!!!! Keep up with the content ❤
I wish there was a video showing the size comparison against real life things. Like a human walking down the street. Or a far away view of someone putting it in their bag. Purse. Or backpack. Some one sitting on a bench or sofa with it in their hand. Some one laying in bed. Without the keyboard. Someone sitting at a school desk with it. I haven’t found one size comparison video that gives a real idea of the actual size. I want to buy one but can’t go look in the store Bc of the pandemic. And I can’t decide on the size Bc I have no idea how true the size is Bc I keep seeing videos of ppl with them on a table. Good review tho on the pros and cons of the diff size
Just take two pieces of A4 paper and grab a measuring tape and scissors. Leave one as it is, that's basically your 12.9". The other, cut to 248 x 178 mm - that's your 11"
Hey! What I would do is go to Target and physically hold it in your hands to see the difference. I have the 12.9” and love it, but I’m getting an additional one when the new one comes out. I’ll probably go with the same size, but it’s always good to check it out and physically hold it! Hope that helps.
@@teddygotsch5832 thanks. I tried that. Target only had the 11
Try Best Buy? I like them better. Did you decide on a size?
@@scotthunter4 but A4 is 8.5"x 11" so wouldn't the ipad 12.9 be bigger than the A4 paper?
Good review Noah. It’s nice to watch one where the reviewer has actually used them for a length of time, to allow for proper and thorough use, before doing this type of comparison. Nice job 👍🏻😀
I 110% recommend this video. You are one of the best YTers I've ever seen. Thank you so much for this video. Have a great day. Thx!
This is the best comparison for both that I've seen on CZcams. Thank you for this.
I’ve been waiting for this video to drop like a hot new album.
Ahaha thanks man :D
Got the 12’9 and returned it for the 11”. Using it like a tablet and playing games it’s the perfect size. The 12’9 is just too big to comfortably hold and type etc. if you want a bigger but still portable device, get a MacBook Air 13” imho.
Depends. I'm a photographer and there are things the 12.9" can do as a photo viewer that a MacBook Air can't do, like view/edit portrait photos full screen in the correct orientation
Wish a video like this was out when I was trying to decide between which size to buy! I ended up going in store to test it out hands on. Now I love my 11’ and have no regrets. I know this video will help out many other people who are waiting for the new iPad Pros to come out. Great video, as always.
this video is exactly what i was looking for. Im an artist and i am really tossed between both sizes. There arnt very many videos going into depth about this "issue". So thank you!
I absolutely love my 12.9! I was going to get the 11 but they had a pre owned 12.9 at bestbuy for a great price at the time so I went with it, and have zero regrets.
How much price?
ZACHARY SPENCER I just went through the same. I just bought a 12.9 refurbished for 699 on apples website last night . Couldn’t pass it up for that price
i did too bro, i just purchased mine yesterday
Fantastic video Noah. Really great explanations of every aspect of iPad pro! Keep it up 👊😊
I have seen dozens of videos on the iPad pro. I did not know whether to buy the ipad of 11 or 12.9 and your video has been the best I have seen. You helped me to make an important decision, thanks.
THANKS so much bro. You helped me make a decision finally! I am going with the 12.9 inch. You’re the FIRST CZcamsr doing a review on this iPad Pro that actually talked about something USEFUL to me like doing calculus problems and taking notes, rather than just complain about the weight and “portability”. I’m an Aerospace Engineering student and I’m hoping this thing will be perfect because once you get up to differential equations and high level physics courses, one math problem takes up 2-3 pages!!
@Ken88 how do you like it?
Damn... I’m rocking the 2018 iPad (6th gen) with a 9.7” screen and I’ve even enjoyed that! The 12.9” looks like a whole new experience for the iPad. The larger screen allows the apps to be more desktop class in their layout, making it feel more capable.
Same
I love my 11 inch iPad Pro. The 12.9 works best for me during meetings. Plus, it's more portable, and the 12.9 is too close to the size of my 13.3 Samsung 2 in 1. Great video, as always, Noah. Keep up the great work.
The comparison I was looking for 👌 Definitely the best! Thank you!
Thank you for this great video. 👌 Been waiting so long for something like this. Really helpful!

WrightsCS What does this comment even mean?
and an extra $200
I loved this video! Thank you! I was really looking for this in-depth comparison :D
Alright, whenever i search iPad pro, your videos comes out on top. I will subscribe.
I debated for weeks which to get but definitely glad i chose the 11 inch. Walking around a construction site all day lends to the smaller lighter device. I don't feel i'm missing out and typing is still a dream with the 11" magic keyboard as is writing.
I am enjoying the 11 inch ipad, although there are some moments that I long for the extra screen space.
Honestly amazing overall review, very concise and visual examples. The split screen at the end was a major application I was curious about!
I really appreciate you being so thorough. Your examples are excellent. They really illustrate that the type of content determines what size is preferable. Bigger is not necessarily better. The message I get is that the bigger size is best if you need a paper equivalent.
Awesome, i would go for 11 inch it’s just perfect at everything.
I loved mine for months! It is a really nice size :)
Noah Herman yeah it is.
@@NoahHerman what do you think if it is comfortable to edit video on 11?
Alexander V. Get yourself a external monitor for video editing.
Great comparison! It helped me a lot. I hope your channel will grow up! תודה
Israel!!!!!!!!!!!
🤢🤮🤮
Finally some one that compares the sizes👌
One of the best comparisons I’ve seen so far. Thanks, this was helpful at letting me know for sure that I only need the 11 inch.
I have the 11" and I find it a bit small. I'd love to upgrade to a bigger one but 12.9" is just too big. I'm hoping for a 12" one 😂
Lmao I went to an Apple store today to test it out and I've got the same dillema 😂😂
What do you need the extra size for though?
12” will be perfect!!
@@TheJames1579 when reviewing my transes for school in Good Notes.
@@pinoyozzyworld also, the 12.9" won't fit on our school's armchair's armrest 😂
Been waiting for this video! I have the 12.9” iPad pro and i LOVE it. I originally picked up the 11” a few weeks ago to try it out, and i really fell in love with the iPad pro and its my main device now so I really wanted that extra screen real-estate, so i ended up exchanging my 11” for the 12.9 256gb space grey and im super happy i did! Its still ultra portable and i take it everywhere. The bigger size feels slightly less like a toy to me if that makes since. Theres so much power in these iPads i figured i want to utilize it as much as possible. Gaming is still awesome especially when i connect my ps4 controller, and Fortnite now supports 120fps 😬🔥 I have the iPhone 11 pro max so my logic was, my phone is my smaller touch interface device and my iPad pro 12.9” is my big one. 💯
Best comparison video i have come across. Answered all my questions
I AM SO GLAD I FOUND THIS VIDEO!!!!!! I’m a “multipotentialite”-type person who does, well…everything. Writing, art, video, audio, but want portability. And this is the only video that really dug deep into researching which I’d do w some writing and using obsidian or scrivener. I really want the 11 for sticking in a non-backpack size and I’m used to sketching in an A4 or B5 notebook, but someone mentioned in the comments on printing accuracy on letter paper and I didn’t even think about that. So I’m off to the store to do some hands on with the “hand hanging off screen” and reference mode. THANK YOU!!!!
You’re videos are great 👍🏻 keep it up....😊 ❤️
Definitely the best comparison i've seen comparing the 2 ipad sizes. Personally i'm in the 12.9 inch camp because if i'm making of carrying a tablet i want it to be big, otherwise I'll just use my phone.
Yes
You're literally the only CZcamsr that posted how do they scale.
Your video is very helpful! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences!
12.9 is still super portable (thin and light). The previous generations were too big IMO, but the reduced bezels made the 12.9 the perfect size. You get significantly more screen real estate and a better split screen and multi tasking experience.
I just bought 12.9 today and my hands really hurt. It is waaaaaayyyyy too large and feels like laptop. It's heavy. I never use tablet on a desk and I only use browser to write code and use mic. I like high quality screen, though.
I comment just this "comment " I really want your channel to grow, your videos are very professional , keeping growing
Amazing review, thanks!
Excellent video...thanks so much for helping me choose between the two.
I’ll be using it a lot for music practise, so just that means I’ll prefer the 12.9 inch, not to mention that I’m one of the ‘oldies’ whose eyes aren’t as good as they once were!
I really appreciate so much information delivered so concisely, and in a way I could understand. Thanks again, mate, and please keep up the good work!
Really nice video. Congrats Noah. I have an iPad Pro 10.5 since 2017 I’m waiting for new generation for this year. I would like the 13” for my work and use. Greetings from Mexico
Ma. Elena Rojas the 2017 10.5 is very nice! I have the same one and like you, also waiting for the 2020 model to upgrade. Cheers!
A bit late, would have needed this Video some time ago :p
Bought the 11 and would rather the 12.9
Loveeeee this video! Helped me decide! Going for the 12 inch, going to use it for architecture stuff. Thanks!
Exactly what I needed to see! Great in depth, comprehensive comparison. Thank you for the effort. Subbed 👍🏼
11 is absolutely perfect, I would've regretted the bigger one. For a student I think the bigger is the better choice, cause of splitscreen and yeah artists obviously the bigger too.
This was a great comparison! 😀Thanks Noah.
Think I’m gonna go with the 12.9 now although initially I wanted the 11 due to portability.. screen real estate looks less cramped like you say and that’s worth it to me 👌🏻
Honestly.. best comparison ever ... because of you I choose my 2020 11 inch for my lifestyle
Thanks a lot ❤
Very complete assessment. Thank you Noah.
I love how the iPads look, if I had one I would chose the 11 inch, it’s smaller and more portable but the 12.9 is not that bad😂
Just got an 11 inch. Would've got a 12.9 inch, but it was just outside of my spending zone
That was exactly my predicament when I got my 11" I was freaking broke lol. Loved and still love mine to death though :)
I'm torn because I'm going to be using my ipad for school and note taking but also enjoy playing cod mobile and want a bigger screen to do but not too big like the 12.9. It's like the 12.9 would be perfect for all my school purposes but the 11 would be perfect for all my entertainment purposes urgh. Doesnt help the 12.9 is substantially more expensive. Also how tf does apple sell a 12.9 ipad pro with only 64 GB of storage at the base model? That's egregious for a thousand dollar product. 128 should be the starting point.
hard knocklife I hear you on that. My 11 inch came with 256 GB of storage, but I paid $1300 for it lol. The 13 inch would've been $1500
Noah Herman had to get WiFi and cellular for my use case, but if I didn't need cellular, I would've gotten the 13 inch
StarWarsBatmanShow l just ordered an iPad Pro 11 inch, 256 gb, is the battery life good?
I really enjoyed the video, your channel keeps getting better and I would not only recommend, but also would like to see a review of the Paperlike screen protector, I have an Aliexpress cheap copy and I can definitely say it is my best purchase for the iPad so far. Keep doing these quality videos dude, they're awesome!!
This was THE best comparison video I've seen. I'm a grad student and want one for note taking but I also need it to function as a computer because I don't want to carry both on campus. I kept watching videos so I could decide which one I should get and EVERY SINGLE STUDENT has the 11 inch but I kept feeling like it would be too small and cramped for me. I also worried that the 12.9 would be too big especially seeing that everyone does just fine with the 11. If I can write on the 12.9 with no problems and not have to zoom in and out all of the time, it's worth it. Thank you so much for this video, seriously. :)
I use a 10.5 air and its just fine for notes. Its honestly a little on the heavy size so unless you do heavy video editing i wouldn't recommend it.
Great advice man :)
I'm surprised you didn't compare the smaller size to a standard composition notebook (9.75×7.5 I think)
Really well done comparison! Thanks for sharing! How do you film these kind of videos?
Wow❗️Great video and review. I went through this same process before purchasing my new iPad 11” PRO 256 GB. I went through many synopsis on this issue alone. The other issue was the amount of memory and that was just as hard but I think that I made the best choice for me with the 11” 256MB iPad Pro as I use it on CZcams sitting in my recliner in the living room. As usual Noah you do a super job with your videos❗️👍✅☝️
iPad Pro 12,9 fue una de las mejores compras que he hecho, el tamaño de la pantalla facilita mucho el trabajo, estudio y multimedia. Excelente video, saludos desde Ecuador 🇪🇨...
video editing with those on a desk is cool, but if you wanna edit video in bed the size of the iPad Mini is much more beneficial than the preview size of the video in Lumafusion in my humble opinion. Ya’ll want an iPad Mini Pro?! Upvote this! A lighter, but stronger (it’s already very durable, but let’s make it tougher) bezel-less iPad Mini that keeps that same screen size with a smaller footprint due to removal of top and bottom bezels would be lit. The perimeter could retain the size of the current side bezels just so it’s still thick enough to where the thumb typing experience is still comfortable :)
Been an iPad user since original iPad launched in 2010. Always dereamed of using only iPad as my computing deviice. 10 years later it is a fact. Love it
Very in-depth video! Great content! Subscribed!
Comment to help with algorithm mostly but I do like this kind of comparison video
thank you :))
I hope the 2020 iPad Pro has Mini Led display
This was the best iPad Pro comparison video thanks.
Best in depth size comparison video I have seen. Thanks Noah.
8:12 the moment I see this I knew 12.9" is perfect.
So true
10:03 same!
Much appreciated for your comparison video. Great video that helps me with proper decision
This was a very good comparison! THANK YOU
