I’m finishing setting up my 11” iPad Pro (M4). It replaces a fairly banged iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation) from 2018. I will post impressions in this thread.

(No, I did not set it up in Spanish. I just happened to take the photo when it showed the signed in Spanish)

(I normally post to my blog but I will instead just add to this thread as things pop up in my mind)

Okay, new iPad Pro is downloading its initial SW update. Using my iPhone for the initial setup really removes so many pain points. It is indeed very thin.

I appreciate the lengths apple goes through to prevent rogue devices, but there’s some rough edges in the workflow that need work.

Setting it up as new, it’s interesting how few apps have iPad versions

Okay @signalapp is a disappointment, it can only do iPad -> iPad history xfer, not iPhone -> iPad.

Wait, signal can, it’s just a completely different. Process that starts out making you think you have to set it up as a new device. And there’s more steps and settings trees.

Testing the handwriting recognition. It's not bad but it kind of sucks if you start writing under the "wrong" word. Then it just randomly inserts words whenever. Also, it would be nice if the "writing" area respected the size of the text input box. And it really, really rates my scribble.

This post took a lot of editing.

My big complaint about the iPad Pro: the edges they make it remarkably uncomfortable to hold.
