I recently bought the new large iPad pro for travelling- my thinking being a bigger screen and my own content would be better for while I'm travelling. I'm loving the new iPad, but my question is this- has anyone else been told to stow it during take off and landing?

I've used it on 5 flights so far with no issues, but on the most recent flight tonight I was told it was too large to be deemed hand held and therefore I'd need to put it in the pocket with the magazines during takeoff. Normally I might be tempted to argue the point, but tonight's CSD was an old school lady who's tone was quite clear that I wouldn't win any argument with her ;-)

Anyone else faced a similar challenge?
