I bought this model back in 2017 and been using it mostly for drawing and music creation. Now, one week ago, I bought the 2021 12.9 model but returned it already because I still prefer my 2017 one. Yes, the screen was pretty cool and there's a lot of power but most apps work just as well. What I just couldn't get over was the weight of the new one being about 50 grams more in a tighter package and less space to grab onto. It was a heft that restricted me in my general use and which I had never before experienced on my 2017 model. Also the sharp edges seemed to cut into my hands. I missed the rounded back edges. This one is also better for drawing because your palms don't push the edge quite as often, so it's more like a drawing board. So holding on to this one until they release a better design. Still a beast.
Honestly the iPad Pro 2nd gen now is great for college students that draw and write and need a big screen and the performance is still great to this day!
Fun Fact: The Apple TV 4K uses that exact A10X found in the iPad Pro 2nd gen, which is why the ATV4K is actually very capable of playing even the more demanding Apple Arcade titles. If you have an ATV4K and Apple Arcade I highly recommend Shinsekai Into The Depths, looks great on the big screen.
Agreed max tech is on point. Your channel is much more down to earth in depth reviews which is why you are my go-to for most enjoyable vids here on TH-cam.
I’m watching this on my iPad Pro 12.9 2nd gen with 256gb storage. It’s a fantastic machine very fast for everything I do, the screen is very bright and clear and 120hz refresh makes using it a joy. I have the cellular model which means I can use it on the go without a tether.
Same hear. Won't upgrade until all iPad Pro models come standard with 8GB of RAM, USB 4.0, some form of indisplay TouchID, and hopefully a second USB-C port. How about you?
I have a generation 1 rose gold but I’ve handed that one back to my brother after it got water damaged. We managed to fix it after leaving it in some rice for a while. It’s working as brand new again.
I have a 2018 3rd generation 12.9” iPad Pro as my daily driver, but have retained my previous 2017 2nd generation device and that still works great. It is rather bulky to carry, but for use around the house it is still excellent
Just got mine in the mail today. th-cam.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 got my iPad Pro 12.9” 2nd gen a month before this video was published. Got it on LetGo for $450 and mine is 256GB. Best purchase EVER. I love this iPad more than I ever thought I would.
True true, I’m still rocking the ipad pro 10.5, it’s been 2 years now. It’s still quite more than capable of a device, even though nowadays the all-screen iPad Pros are everywhere. Not everyone actually has the ability to buy those more expensive models lol. So thanks for making contents like this Noah ❤️
My ipad 12.9 2017 2nd gen will be 5 years old next year. It works as a charm like it was new! I am getting a ipad mini 6 though but as others has commented this works fine to carry around the house. 😌🙌
I actually have this 12.9 and the 2020 generation. There are very minor differences between the two. I let my fiancé use the older 12.9 and she loves it more than her HP laptop. Nice video..
I still have a first generation iPad Pro that still gets software updates. It looks and sounds great! It supports the first generation Apple Pencil. Perfect device for media consumption!
Great video Noah. Made me feel good about keeping my second gen 12.9 and not getting a new one. I really wish there was a trackpad case like the new one unless you know something is out there that I don’t!
@@justswitched8841 i got a 10.5 ipad pro 2nd gen it came with a bundle including the apple pencil and wireless keyboard it supposed to get here Wednesday i got it for 427.00 us dollars
I have had my 12.9 inch 2nd gen for 2 years now and just upgraded to the 11 inch 2nd gen. The 12.9 is a great iPad but it is slowing down and stuttering a lot for me. But it’s the perfect streaming device and can still do some decent gaming. I would recommend if you need a big iPad for a low price and don’t mind an older and slower device that isn’t as capable of doing high end tasks like video editing anymore. This isn’t a knock at its performance, as it’s still more than fast enough for basic tasks like web browsing and streaming.
I wanted one since mid 2019, but after 9 months on online classes. I don't think I need it since I no longer need that much power on the go. The 2018 iPad is still enough and I can always remote into my desktop
Hey Noah, can you include Zoom when making iPad videos since that's what everyone is using at least and how does it hold up??? Can you make calls while doing notes or can you open multiple tabs while still being inside the call... need your iPad expertise on this one PLEASE!!!🥺😭🙏
Hi Noah, I would like to express my thanks of your effort. I just bought iPad Pro 2017 12.9 for my mom. I am a iPad Air 3 user. When I compared it with my iPad Air 3. I am shocked that the 2017 pro model runs a little bit smoother than my iPad Air 3. I am not sure whether it is due to pro motion or not. I tried to convince my mom to use my iPad Air 3 . Then I can use the 2017 12.9 ^ ^
Bought one off my brother back when they were fresh. Enjoy it for the home button & features. Eventually I may want to upgrade to a newer/smaller pro, but mine is still thriving for what I do
I’m using one now, I just borrowed it. Lol. Downside is it sometimes stops being responsive for a few seconds. And I find it a bit frustrating at times since I mostly use this for paintings. I can’t really finish my drawings as quickly because of the lags.
I’m 2018 I got the iPad Pro 2nd Gen 12.9 512GB in Gold WiFi for $700 brand new, I didn’t want to pay $800 for the LTE version which I’m not currently regretting because I got it for my 1 year old daughter, and as she was growing she didn’t understand why it didn’t work in the car or outside the house lol I should’ve spent the extra $100
Thanks for this, Noah. The 2017 fits my workflow well and saved me a bundle. iPhone 13 Pro Max Dolby Vision HDR > iPad 2nd Gen LumaFusion export to H.265 > Premiere Pro on 10-year-old desktop Windows PC for last touches in Premiere and Audition.

@@jonarosebation118 def! I still use it for school, Apple Pencil works great and it is compatible with almost all apps, Not compatible with apps like games for M1 iPads or above.
Thanks for the video. It makes me feel less envious of my sisters iPad Pro 2018. 🥴 I have the iPad Pro 2nd gen with a Logitech slim combo keyboard so have $$$ invested in this in addition the the huge price I paid. So will live with the Pencil with it’s wonky charging/syncing. That said, I still love my iPad Pro and all of the recent updates to OS have made it more dear to me. It has taken on many of the tasks I used to accomplish on my laptop. Still looking for an iPad app that writes out music the way my old program does on my laptop but so far all have fallen short in one aspect or another. Once the Pencil is linked, it stays charged a long time and I use it more for fine editing of music and videos. You can zero in on a cut so much easier and quicker. My slim combo case has a ‘sleeve’ for the Pencil so stores it right on my iPad (in the same place the new Pencil sits on later version tablet).
I actually had this iPad before I sold it to buy the iPad Pro 12.9 4th gen 256gb. I actually liked it but now love my 12.9 4th gen with the new iPad Pro keyboard case.
I watch this on my 2nd gen Pro 12.9 🤣 Just make sure to watch out of some screen problem, mine already have whitespot and dirty screen effect, overal great value
Gingerale is good apple pencil one is not bad. It's better than all third party stylus. The charging mechanism its complete round and smoothness and the fact that you can lose the cap sucks. AP2 is always charged never rolls off a table and has that useful tapping gesture.
I recently switched from the 2017 Pro to the 2018 11” Pro and the second gen Pencil is amazing. The awkward charging of the first gen never bothered me and I also never lost the cap, but length and slightly slippery surface of it did. The second gen one is the perfect size and weight for writing, the matte finish feels amazing and the charging is pretty convenient as well. If you plan to use the Pencil a lot, I say go for a never Ipad Pro just because of the newer Pencil alone
Robbie Meikle I didn’t know about the wraps, only the bulky silicone cases and grips. Looks like a great solution, if only I knew about this when I was using the first gen Pencil lol. Thanks for telling me!
people give it a lot of shit because of the charging method, but what they don't tell you is if you plug it into the ipad it fully charges in 15 minutes while if you charge it with the lightning wire it take 1.5 hours
Picked one of these up while visiting family for $350. Enjoying the screen size at first but the little bugger really can do some work!! learning how to use Luma and still no drop frames. Thanks for the review
I’m using the iPad Pro 9.7 2016 and it feels great. I love the home button and I think I won’t change to the new iPad Pros because they don’t have the button.
Should I buy a iPad 10.2 for my daily purpose like attending online lectures, TH-cam surfing, internet surfing, light video editing and other light works...? and also tell me that I should buy apple keyboard or pencil or both of them?
You can get the 10.2 inch ipad with the apple pencil. However, I have tried the apple keyboard without the trackpad, on my ipad air 3 a year ago, and the keystrokes didn't feel good and as much as I remember there is no back protection on ipad with the apple keyboard, no backlighting either, build quality is good, and with a price of about 17k in India, it ain't worth it. If you intend on using microsoft office apps for free, then get the older ipad 9.7 or the mini because all ipads more than 10.1 inch cannot use office editing apps and subcription costs over inr 300 a month.
never purchased an apple product. But bought an iPad Pro 11 inch model recently as i wanted my apple journey to start with the best available product.I may not be upgrading to an apple phone though 🤷
I do agree if you are on a budget and planing to take some design classes in drawing or lettering or what ever you prefer the 2nd gen is amazing. I started my design business one year ago and I was on a low budget to start I did a lot of work on my MacBook Air 2014 and once I collected some cash I am now using the 2017 MacBook Pro and iPad Pro and the amount of work I do on these two bad boys they are amazing. I now do have the budget to get everything new but honestly I dont think its that of a difference I am gonna use them for about 2 years more and then sell them and get everything new
Been my daily since 2017 everything Lightroom Photoshop Rush it is my laptop it works well would love a new one but the budget isn’t there so great video showing it still works really well.
Last month Oct 2020 l bought the 12.9 iPad Pro cellular version 2020 I love it the 4 speakers are great and it should last me a few years like my old iPad Air 2 did and my new iPad Pro is lighter then my original iPad 4 Which are used to carry around a lot. 😁😁 The iPad Pro 2020 is Much better than the new iPad Air 4 In my humble opinion.
Would be so cool to see Logi releasing a combo touch keyboard scaled up for the 12.9" iPad Pro 1st and 2nd Gen. But I can see that why they're not doing it since, the new iPad Air is of the same form factor of the old iPad Pro so they made one for the old 10.5 iPad Pro(quad speaker cutouts) so that it also supports the iPad Air 3. But that's not the case with this iPad. It's so big, it has the best software keyboard and all those are asking for a keyboard case with trackpad.
I would say a major draw back for the 2nd gen 12.9 pro vs the 2nd gen 10.5 pro is that, while the 10.5 is basically the same size as the newer 11 pro, the 2nd gen 12.9 pro is significantly bigger than the newer 12.9 pros due to the larger bezels.
Great vids, Noah. And to think I almost handed off my Gen 2 to my fiance' and almost dropped the money for a new one. My only concern is that rumor is Apple won't be supporting it much longer. Thoughts? Last question: Can you recommend an external HD for it? Must have accessories that will work with the 2nd Gen to make transferring video files easier? My new job includes shooting 4K video (insurance investigations), and editing, and messing around with my 2nd Gen, it seems to work fine (as you just demonstrated).
Your videos are very informative! I am currently watching your videos regarding older ipad models so I can decide which is still worth it to purchase. :)
Do you recommend getting the Apple Pen First gen? I'm using a cheaper stylus but the palm rejection does not work as well. I'm debating whether or not I should invest it.
Love your vids I have a question what do you do with everything you buy do you keep EVERYTHING or fo you keep some snd give eome away to ppl? Cs i wouldnt be sble to imagine on what i would do with everything
gl finding one. i always check the apple site and they never have the base on the refurbs. its rarely on occasion the 10.5 one. and even then its usually the bigger storage options which for me kinda beats the point of buying a budget pro ipad
I need advice: I have all Apple products (all space gray)- and my iPad Pro 12.9 Gen 1 battery life was going, couldn’t get anything more than maybe 1-2 hours max out of it- so I took it to the Apple store and they said they can’t replace iPad batteries, So they gave me a band new one (but I had to pay $104 since I didn’t have warranty on my last one)- I just picked it up from the Apple store this past Friday (October 23, 2020), brand spankin new- I also bought the Apple Pencil gen 1 exactly 2 weeks ago today and my 2 iPad cases and the Apple Pencil keys are brand new as well. Now here’s where I need the advice.... Apple literally ONLY had silver left- that’s it. And I don’t like it. It’s just not what I wanted at all, especially because I had to pay $104 for it since I didn’t have the warranty, or else I would’ve gotten it for free.....so I was thinking about selling it all and getting the new iPad Air 2020........since everything is literally BRAND NEW, I was going to sell for $600 total- $550 being the lowest....is this a fair price for everything? Is it too much? Too low?.....I was looking up the same exact iPad on Amazon and even used ones are being sold for like $580 up to $700.....so I figured $550 to $600 isn’t bad at all, Especially since evening is brand new compared the used/renewed ones on Amazon....so thoughts?? Please help!😭 I just don’t want to sell it for an unfair price or lowball myself which would then be unfair to me....I could really use a second opinion!! What do I do?
Im running 13.4.1 with packix & twickd tweaks. Revealed the iCaughtU tweak to some peds, they could not believe their eyes! Tall order for an actual .ipa for TouchID Remote SMS/Email invalidated notifications exists now, all the way down here, in South Africa. This device is leagues ahead of time! There has been no Handheld Computer-esque device which has given iPad a run for its money. Sure it derives from the PenPal or the Microsoft Slate, but it is far evolved in under 10 years!
Then I'm not buying it. That money can be worth a surface book even if it's more expensive but it does better than an iPad with a keyboard and more RAM and CPU. iPads only runs the iPad version of the apps instead of the desktop version of these apps.
I would love love love for a video on the logitech slim combo keyboard for the ipad pro 12.9” 1th and 2th gen. I don’t know if you are able to make a video on this combined with your 2th gen 12.9 ipad? I have that ipad and absolutely love it!
Awesome Video! This really is a great iPad I have the 9.7” model with the A9X but does the job pretty good, Still has some logic board issues which makes it randomly power off 😔 But still is a very powerful Device 😁

Reka Torzsok I got a dock and a matte wrap, fixed it all for me! Also the wrap is cool as it makes the pencil look like an HB school pencil
Robbie Meikle I didn’t know about the wraps, only the bulky silicone cases and grips. Looks like a great solution, if only I knew about this when I was using the first gen Pencil lol. Thanks for telling me!
people give it a lot of shit because of the charging method, but what they don't tell you is if you plug it into the ipad it fully charges in 15 minutes while if you charge it with the lightning wire it take 1.5 hours
Just got one for mainly Procreate. Awesome machine for that purpose, for years to come.
Picked one of these up while visiting family for $350. Enjoying the screen size at first but the little bugger really can do some work!! learning how to use Luma and still no drop frames. Thanks for the review

Hey great video as usual! Love the new transitions btw, they look really smooth 👍
Awesome video man. I had forgotten how large the iPad Pro used to be.
I have both. Debating on if I should sell my 2nd Gen or keep it as a back up.
I’m using the iPad Pro 9.7 2016 and it feels great. I love the home button and I think I won’t change to the new iPad Pros because they don’t have the button.
I'd go for a 11' iPad pro 2018 model over the older 12.9 models that go for a little over or about the same price.
Should I buy a iPad 10.2 for my daily purpose like attending online lectures, TH-cam surfing, internet surfing, light video editing and other light works...?
and also tell me that I should buy apple keyboard or pencil or both of them?
You can get the 10.2 inch ipad with the apple pencil. However, I have tried the apple keyboard without the trackpad, on my ipad air 3 a year ago, and the keystrokes didn't feel good and as much as I remember there is no back protection on ipad with the apple keyboard, no backlighting either, build quality is good, and with a price of about 17k in India, it ain't worth it. If you intend on using microsoft office apps for free, then get the older ipad 9.7 or the mini because all ipads more than 10.1 inch cannot use office editing apps and subcription costs over inr 300 a month.
Just buy other bluetooth keyboards i'll save you money! (cuz the keyboard ain't worth it imo.,)
never purchased an apple product. But bought an iPad Pro 11 inch model recently as i wanted my apple journey to start with the best available product.I may not be upgrading to an apple phone though 🤷
I accidentally bent my iPad Pro 9.7 inch somehow in my backpack lol. I upgraded to the 4th gen 12.9inch and its great
The A10x GPU is one step down from the newer iPad pros even slightly beating the A13.
in gpu only
GamingBox Yep that’s why I said GPU
I’m just glad it’s still stable.
Just bought one today for cheappppp and I love it.
How cheap?
@@warbeast6870 $300
Keep up the good work bro love the vids!
I just cant seam to find cases for it 😫if you now where I could find them please help me
Can I buy this iPad pro 12.9 inch second generation in 2021?
Is it still worth buying in 2021?
How's the display and battery is it good? Please reply.
I do agree if you are on a budget and planing to take some design classes in drawing or lettering or what ever you prefer the 2nd gen is amazing. I started my design business one year ago and I was on a low budget to start I did a lot of work on my MacBook Air 2014 and once I collected some cash I am now using the 2017 MacBook Pro and iPad Pro and the amount of work I do on these two bad boys they are amazing. I now do have the budget to get everything new but honestly I dont think its that of a difference I am gonna use them for about 2 years more and then sell them and get everything new
I never knew that Apple's first ProMotion product was this. I always thought it was the 3rd Gen/2018 model. That's cool to know!
Been my daily since 2017 everything Lightroom Photoshop Rush it is my laptop it works well would love a new one but the budget isn’t there so great video showing it still works really well.
Last month Oct 2020 l bought the 12.9 iPad Pro cellular version 2020 I love it the 4 speakers are great and it should last me a few years like my old iPad Air 2 did and my new iPad Pro is lighter then my original iPad 4 Which are used to carry around a lot. 😁😁
The iPad Pro 2020 is Much better than the new iPad Air 4 In my humble opinion.
Would be so cool to see Logi releasing a combo touch keyboard scaled up for the 12.9" iPad Pro 1st and 2nd Gen. But I can see that why they're not doing it since, the new iPad Air is of the same form factor of the old iPad Pro so they made one for the old 10.5 iPad Pro(quad speaker cutouts) so that it also supports the iPad Air 3. But that's not the case with this iPad. It's so big, it has the best software keyboard and all those are asking for a keyboard case with trackpad.
I love my iPad 7th gen. Not a power user just a sit at home and play on it like TH-cam and games
I would say a major draw back for the 2nd gen 12.9 pro vs the 2nd gen 10.5 pro is that, while the 10.5 is basically the same size as the newer 11 pro, the 2nd gen 12.9 pro is significantly bigger than the newer 12.9 pros due to the larger bezels.
I’m watching this on my iPad Pro 12.9 2nd generation just to make sure that I don’t need an upgrade.
Still can use in 2021??I want to buy second-hand iPad,,,for school
Still on the 2nd gen ipad pro... it’s working perfectly fine.
You can it if you want.
@@anne-zv8wm for school it’s perfect
Great vids, Noah. And to think I almost handed off my Gen 2 to my fiance' and almost dropped the money for a new one. My only concern is that rumor is Apple won't be supporting it much longer. Thoughts? Last question: Can you recommend an external HD for it? Must have accessories that will work with the 2nd Gen to make transferring video files easier? My new job includes shooting 4K video (insurance investigations), and editing, and messing around with my 2nd Gen, it seems to work fine (as you just demonstrated).
Your videos are very informative! I am currently watching your videos regarding older ipad models so I can decide which is still worth it to purchase. :)
I'm definitely gonna get the 2nd gen ipad and apple pencil for art and animation
Do you recommend getting the Apple Pen First gen? I'm using a cheaper stylus but the palm rejection does not work as well. I'm debating whether or not I should invest it.
Love your vids
I have a question what do you do with everything you buy do you keep EVERYTHING or fo you keep some snd give eome away to ppl? Cs i wouldnt be sble to imagine on what i would do with everything
let me guess, he sells things...
Ok, now .. which one should i buy? This or 7th gen?
Ps : I'm a newbie to Apple product, so which one?
I recommend the iPad Pro 2nd Gen. Main reason is because of the pro motion/high refresh rate screen.
It can be had for about 450 on eBay.
I feel like the Third gen is going to be a very good option since they’re cheaper now
Thank you all for your reply...
gl finding one. i always check the apple site and they never have the base on the refurbs. its rarely on occasion the 10.5 one. and even then its usually the bigger storage options which for me kinda beats the point of buying a budget pro ipad
Just discovered you channel today, Great Video. Planning to buy this Ipad now. ☺️
I need advice: I have all Apple products (all space gray)- and my iPad Pro 12.9 Gen 1 battery life was going, couldn’t get anything more than maybe 1-2 hours max out of it- so I took it to the Apple store and they said they can’t replace iPad batteries,
So they gave me a band new one (but I had to pay $104 since I didn’t have warranty on my last one)- I just picked it up from the Apple store this past Friday (October 23, 2020), brand spankin new- I also bought the Apple Pencil gen 1 exactly 2 weeks ago today and my 2 iPad cases and the Apple Pencil keys are brand new as well.
Now here’s where I need the advice....
Apple literally ONLY had silver left- that’s it. And I don’t like it. It’s just not what I wanted at all, especially because I had to pay $104 for it since I didn’t have the warranty, or else I would’ve gotten it for free.....so I was thinking about selling it all and getting the new iPad Air 2020........since everything is literally BRAND NEW, I was going to sell for $600 total- $550 being the lowest....is this a fair price for everything? Is it too much? Too low?.....I was looking up the same exact iPad on Amazon and even used ones are being sold for like $580 up to $700.....so I figured $550 to $600 isn’t bad at all,
Especially since evening is brand new compared the used/renewed ones on Amazon....so thoughts?? Please help!😭 I just don’t want to sell it for an unfair price or lowball myself which would then be unfair to me....I could really use a second opinion!! What do I do?
I still have my iPad Pro 10.5 and it’s still running so so well, other than the battery, because it’s a bit bent.
Im running 13.4.1 with packix & twickd tweaks. Revealed the iCaughtU tweak to some peds, they could not believe their eyes! Tall order for an actual .ipa for TouchID Remote SMS/Email invalidated notifications exists now, all the way down here, in South Africa. This device is leagues ahead of time! There has been no Handheld Computer-esque device which has given iPad a run for its money. Sure it derives from the PenPal or the Microsoft Slate, but it is far evolved in under 10 years!
Underrated TH-camr. Great vid
1:25 is it just me or has the iPad bent over time 🧐🤔🤔
Fun fact, I bought this a few months ago sealed lol. It’s basically brand new! :D
@@NoahHerman Omg pls can u shoutout me
Then I'm not buying it. That money can be worth a surface book even if it's more expensive but it does better than an iPad with a keyboard and more RAM and CPU. iPads only runs the iPad version of the apps instead of the desktop version of these apps.
Same same with surface pro
Hope Apple fans don't be angry, but Apple is selling overpriced powerful machines that are almost worse than other companies.
Nice bro, but... Can you use a external storage in this iPad ?
I believe this will be great for school stuff including note-taking with the apple pencil my next 4 years at uni?
My 10.5 iPad Pro 2nd still work like perfectly charm.
Hello did the iPad Pro 2 gen still upgrade to new iOS?
October 2021 just expected mine today but it could come tomorrow
Love your vids!
Does it have multitasking features? 3 screen option? (1 being the tiny slide over)???
I got gen 1 and it’s broken 😔 I was thinking of getting the 2020 but I’ll just wait for the 2021 thing
I would love love love for a video on the logitech slim combo keyboard for the ipad pro 12.9” 1th and 2th gen. I don’t know if you are able to make a video on this combined with your 2th gen 12.9 ipad? I have that ipad and absolutely love it!
He really looks like dynamo magician!!!
Awesome Video! This really is a great iPad
I have the 9.7” model with the A9X but does the job pretty good, Still has some logic board issues which makes it randomly power off 😔
But still is a very powerful Device 😁
its not a logic board issue man its a battery issue get it replaced n you will be good
@@neet-tz5st Nah bro, Contacted Apple Support they did all the checkup and I am good at this stuff so I am sure no battery issue, I dont need to charge too, its a graphic issue
Finally! The review I needed! Lol thanks! 🙃
just ordered the second gen. boy i cant wait to gets busy😭💪🏿. gimp and photoshop is not cutting it
How come some iPad Pro (2nd gen) have those lines at the top at the back and some don’t? Just wondering.
Is it good for 2024
