I have an iPad Pro 12.9 for art work. Love it. But I have been routinely using a 1st gen mini for email, research, etc. it is now too old for updates. And it repeatedly crashed. So I needed a replacement & opted for the new iPad 9.7 128GB. I've only had it for about 24 hours. It performs as advertised.Typical Apple excellence. The Apple rep in the EVANSVILLE store (tall blond headed guy. Knowledgeable & not at all pushy) was very helpful, as he was when I bought the Pro. He is a real asset. For the store & for the consumer. I had to go to Amazon for a first class cover. In my opinion, Apple accessories are too expensive. The EVANSVILLE Best Buy ( Burkhardt Road) Store is a great place to shop. Our only bad experience was with a Samsung dishwasher that leaked. We will never again buy a Samsung kitchen appliance.
