ipad or iphone

You can do almost everything, the Apple pencil doesn't work with the iPhone. I would ask the question in reverse, can I do anything on a iPhone that I can do on my iPad. With the small screen the answer is no.

If you're having second thoughts about buying the Pro can I recommend holding off until you're certain it's what you want.

When I am on the go my iPhone is essential. At home either an iPad or a laptop is what I tend to use. The portability issue is very important to me. Just my own opinion FWIW. Good luck with your decision.

Why own a iPad ? For me a iPhone is so small it's useless.

I'm a college professor, and I own an iPhone 6s, and an iPad Mini 4. While I can do most things on my iPhone, when away from home, there are many things I can do somewhat better on the iPad, and don't have to bring my laptop. I can tether my iPad to the iPhone, so I didn't need to purchase a wi-fi cellular model, saving myself some money there. The screen size for the iPad mini works well for me on some of the issues I need to address with students in Blackboard and other online services much better than the iPhone, again, screen size. Lastly for me at least, I have a 128GB version, so when I travel, I put a movie or two on it purely for entertainment purposes. Much better experience than the iPhone for that.

I own an both the large iPad Pro (128 GB storage model )and a 6th gen iPod Touch ( 64 GB storage model, which is pretty much an iPhone wiithout the phone.

There are a LOT of things I could never/want to do on my iPod Touch that I can do with ease with my standard size iPad and my larger screen iPad Pro with double the RAM of all the current iDevices.

I am a creative and drawing on the small screens of iPhone, iPod Touch and to a significant degree the iPad Mini models were never big enough to more naturally sketch/draw/paint on.

I like my larger screen iPads for all of my various drawing apps, music performance and sound apps and even for reading my eBooks and eMagazines.

I like the bigger screen real estate for note taking and idea taking apps, too, over smaller screen iDevices.

It comes down to your personality and personal preferences.

Are you a iPhone/iPod Touch type of user OR are you an iPad user?

I am, squarely, an iPad user.

I use my 6th Gen iPod Touch mostly for storing and playing my large music library and for FaceTime/Skype calls, some games, sometimes as a passive GPS and use this iPod Touch sync'd up. with my smart watch, at that is it!

I use my iPad for everything else and any heavy work/project loads, basically, using my iPads, and especially my iPad Pro, as pretty much a laptop

replacement.

I, also use my iPad Pro with a wireless, visual drawing tablet app for drawing directly from my iPad Pro to my Mac.

Lots of wonderful things you can do with a large screen iPad that you simply can't do on smaller screen iDevice.

What are you expecting/planning to do with the large iPad Pro if you have no interest in purchasing an Apple pencil?

Have you considered the smaller 9.7 inch screen iPad Pro model?

You'll get a standard size iPad with many improvements over the 12.9 inch model, if you are not sure about the larger size iPad Pro model.

It will weigh less, too!

The large iPad Pro weighs almost 1-1/2 pounds.

There is a significant weight to the larger iPad model.

If you can afford it, depending on what you are going to use this for, if you want some future proofing, go for either the 128 or 256 GB storage models.

In my opinion, the 32 GB storage option is just too little for this class of iPad.

You only end of with 27- 28 GBs of usable storage space.

The 128 GB model has about 118-120 GBs of usable space.

The 256 GB model will, probably have approx 244-246 GBs of usable storage space.

Good Luck!
