Does the white spot interfere with usage?

Basically no, it's only visible on a light background (like web pages). You won't notice it in Dark Mode.

Is it better than the new iPad 9?

The Pro 10.5 has the advantage of 120Hz, a laminated screen, and 4 speakers. The iPad 9 is faster (A13), but the screen and audio are inferior. For media, the Pro 10.5 is better.

Is a keyboard available?

Yes, Apple Smart Keyboard (attaches magnetically).

Why does the battery drain quickly?

The 120Hz screen requires a lot of power. It's recommended to keep the screen brightness on automatic.

Comparisons With Other Models

How this model differs from the competition.

UpgradevsiPad Pro 9.7 (2016)

The Pro 10.5 is better in every way: a larger 10.5-inch screen thanks to thinner bezels, 120Hz ProMotion, and a faster processor. Absolutely worth the upgrade.

RAM	4GB	2GB

Cross-shopvsiPad Air 3 (2019)

These models use the same chassis. The Air 3 is newer and faster (A12), but the Pro 10.5 has a ProMotion display (120Hz) and 4 speakers. If you prefer a smooth picture and sound, get the Pro 10.5. If you want longer-term support, get the Air 3.
