I ordered the ipad pro 11 with 10x Airmiles promotion. Somehow I am already have second thought before it arrives that I should have ordered 12.9, I bought 11 mostly for the cheaper price, but I feel the experience from 11 may not be significantly different than a regular ipad while 12.9 pro would be a different experience especailly with the mini-LED. And if I bought more accessaries like Magik keyboard etc., it will be more expensive in the future to upgrade.

I sold my iPad 11 2018 and got the iPad 12.9. Absolutely regret it. With magic keyboard this is freaking heavy, and not portable. Anyways, you are right, iPad pretty much have all the same experience since a lot of it are limited by iPadOS. I will just get the iPad Mini 6 when it comes out so I have something portable.

Yes I am curious as well.
I wonder if they will allow exchange of airpods for anything other than the magic keyboard (eg. smart folio keyboard + applecare).
Has anyone tried this?

If it will be your main device go with 12.9, but if it's a companion 11 is much better. 12.9+keyboard is heavier and thicker than a MBP. I won't mind if I am not carrying a MBP with me. I have 12.9 and love the size and feel but without a keyboard case, once I add a case it starts to give me remorse and guilt feeling as it becomes really expensive, thick, heavy for something which is basically a oversized iPhone with mobile OS (in fact you get worse cameras, lose WhatsApp, Instagram and many other apps). That's why I am sticking to my 2018 Pro, iPad OS is a bottleneck.rivet wrote: ↑ I ordered the ipad pro 11 with 10x Airmiles promotion.

Stores are cracking down on the refunds of the AirPods. So, to circumvent it, I needed a case, anyways. Not sure if they would refund the difference on to the Apple ID balance or an Apple gift card.blindemboss wrote: ↑ I’m surprised they gave you credit for the AirPods.
I’m wondering if this would be the case if you only spent less than the value of AirPods.
For instance, would they put the remaining balance on your account if you purchased say a $130 Apple Pencil?

Metrotown shopping centre in Burnaby, BC. Paid the difference. Used my employers purchase plan corporate discount for the magic Keyboard, so got $24 off, plus the AirPods credit of $245. Paid $175.

I was able to return the Airpods today at Upper Canada Mall. No questions asked, in and out only in about a minute.

So I did the pick up airpods in store, but ship the macbook to my house trick, and the order had said to pick up the airpods by July 26th, and as of last night, the airpods' status changed to "processing - your item will be available for pick up shortly". Is this normal before the order changes to cancelled/refunded? Since today is technically the last day I have to pick up the airpods

This happened to me where the status of the Airpods changed to "processing" after the initial "ready for pick up" status. Today, on the 15th day since I placed the order, I received an email saying my order has been cancelled and they are processing the return to my credit card.BlissKira wrote: ↑ So I did the pick up airpods in store, but ship the macbook to my house trick, and the order had said to pick up the airpods by July 26th, and as of last night, the airpods' status changed to "processing - your item will be available for pick up shortly".

Got this email Your pickup has been cancelled.We’re working on your refund now.
Hopefully it works out otherwise I will return my iPad Pro 12,it’s too heavy and not portable at all compared to my old 11.Only added benefit is bigger screen to read magazine etc,mini led is good but sometimes it has some issues.

Damn, the M1 chip is ridiculous. LOL, this might turn Mac haters into Mac owners, Intel PC's/AMD PC's does not have anything at this price point to beat the M1.

How would gaming on the M1 be vs. a GTX1650? RTX2060? RTX3060?

And I'm not sure why the unwavering faith to a platform. And this goes both ways.

Hey, how did you split the order for airpods for pickup, and ipad for delivery? I do not see any option to do so.crispwolf wrote: ↑ Got this email Your pickup has been cancelled.We’re working on your refund now.

Took advantage of this offer last year. I ended up selling the airpods on Kijiji for $150. I'm sure I could have sold them for more, but I wanted them sold asap. I had a lot of inquiries on them too.
