I've received this question a LOT, so I'll pin it so everyone can see. The Photo app being demonstrated at the end of the video is Affinity Photo, an app released during WWDC: itunes.apple.com/us/app/affinity-photo-ios/id1117941080?mt=8&at=11l9Le
Alexander Lee yea thanks men. So mini 4 it is haha. Just keep this right? Coz its great? And also last mini series so it will be more valued among apple users right haha. For sentimental value
Yeah especially for the price. I think it might be too big for how thin the top shell for Mac is. Otherwise pretty stupid. All iMacs should have the 4K one for FaceTime.
It’s obviously because the iPad has a 6.1mm chassis to fit the camera in, while the MacBook has a much thinner lid so it has to be a much smaller camera
At first blush the 10.5" iPP seems like a minor improvement over last year's 9.7"...but it all adds up to a pretty significant upgrade, IMO: - 2x storage - 2x RAM - Better front and rear cameras - Faster Touch ID - 120hz refresh rate - HDR support - Better anti-reflective coating - 30% faster processor - Larger screen - Full sized keyboard My 9.7" iPP isn't that old, but I'm pulling the trigger on this.
good choice also brighter display, better contrast faster transfer speed via lightning and supports fast recharge with a 29w charger gpu speed is almost double the performance also
The logi keyboard is a better keyboard. It’s a little less expensive too and it’s back lit. Just my po. Total game changer. This has allowed me to have no need for my computer. It awesome. I purchased the 11.
what do you use an ipad for? im thinking about buying this because it looks cool but i dont know what i would use it for since i already have an iphone and macbook.
Andrew Tran I'm not from the US, so that doesn't work for me. But I'll probably by a SmartKeyboard (or 3rd party keyboard) once iOS 11 is released. After WWDC I can really see myself using the iPad as a laptop replacement, at least for light workloads… so maybe more a serious laptop enhancement rather than a replacement for me.
lesryglrhfohser this is really going to help because I edit 4K footage and I do everything on my iPad Pro. Also, like the author of this comment said iOS 11 is really going to transform the iPad
The good thing about taking pictures and recording videos on an iPad is that the screen. It’s super big so we can clearly see what’s going on with clarity. So I don’t mind recording or taking pictures on my iPad Pro :)
Because most people don't have a Mac from the past two years. Probably in a year or two they'll start shipping them with USB-C cables, that's my guess.
It is pretty simple. If they delivered it only with Lightning to USB-C, all the old adapters were useless. It would only "make sense" for loading it from your MacBook Pro 16 or later, which takes 2 days to charge for iPad Pro 12.9
I just picked up a 256GB, and this thing is a BEAST. I can't wait to see what iOS 11 does for this thing. It is insanely fast and the ProMotion is honestly fantastic.
Literally just bought mine today and typing this with it. Thing is such a beauty, first time I’ve felt compelled to buy an ipad. Especially because of that 120 Refresh rate lol
You swapped your MBP with the new iPad Pro. Don't you miss some productivity features that a laptop is providing? Also, is the Smart Keyboard good enough for a heavy user?
it just needs full programs ,apple motion - final cut / after effects / Xcode it's powerful enough for them the aspect ratio and size is good but for god's sake apple apps for developers and creators and not sure about this but would 120 Hz for reading better for the eyes- less eye strain- or not if so it would be perfect if we could adjust it manually too .
Omar kmt I really wish they would put their own pro apps on it especially Xcode and Final Cut Pro! There is a great range of apps however so it's not irrelevant for pros. Right now it's a beast at photo editing but video editing there's not many apps in my opinion that take advantage of it's power.
Excellent review. And even though its beautiful and I want it, I think I will stick with my iPad Air. Until Apple offers mouse support on the iPad Pro it's not worth paying laptop prices for something that isn't as productive as the MacBook Air despite the improvements in iOS 11.
a really nice case to protect the back of the case is the "SwitchEasy CoverBuddy Pencil Holder back cover for iPad Pro 12.9-inch" (search on Amazon). Doesn't look like they have a 10.5" version as yet but the 12.9 fits the new A10x model, fits the smart keyboard, and has a pencil holder on the back.
To be fair to the form factor of the 12.9" iPad Pro, it's a larger device that requires a larger area to hold it and the previous 9.7" iPad Pro had larger bezels than the current and previous 12.9".
I saw someone post a video on youtube that places the iPad Pro with keyboard cover in the Leather Sleeve that can hold your pencil. That would protect the camera and back of the iPad plus provide a place to store the pencil.
2018. My least favorite flaws: 1. The keyboard has no capslock state indicator. So easy to fix with the software but it's not. 2. The pen often falls on the floor since it's completely round and Apple does not provide any standard way to keep it with the device. 3. A lot of essential apps still don't work in the split mode (e.g., all Google apps or Medium).
I mean, they don't need to produce a large pressure sensitive display. Let the Pencil do pressure sensitivity, not only for sketching, but also in other OS controls.
2900405 Apple Pencil was sold better than expected. Back in November 2015, there was a shortage in Apple Pencil supply. I waited five weeks for my Apple Pencil. According to some report at that time, about half the people who bought the iPad Pro wanted an Apple Pencil.
why doesn't the Smart Keyboard have a pencil holder. A hundred bucks pencil is pretty pricy to lose loose. Will the smart keyboard fit in any kind of protective sleeve?
The new Pro is a game changer, in that, it is a laptop killer and as expensive as it may be, it's cheaper than any high end machine and better. I'm sold. I just can't decide between 10.5" and 12.9" models. The latter is like having laptop size screen in front of you, but the former, well, is cheaper.
There's a new unoriginal smart case for many iPad models that feature a soft back case. I haven't tried it, but it's intrigueing. The reason Apple doesn't make a back cover might be because they're prone to corner cracking. And the heat dissipates better with no back cover.
What still baffles me is why Apple is not adding 3D Touch to the iPad line. It's a lack of consistency in its products line that is not very like Apple.
I agree, but I find it funny that in iphones everybody says “oh 3D Touch is useless!” But then everyone is complaining about it not being there on the iPad
Stirling Studios Well, I for one love 3D Touch and have never complained that it's useless. On the contrary, I believe it adds real value to the device. Would have loved for it to be there on the iPad.
So they add fast charging but don't include a larger power brick to use it. Come on with the nickel and diming, really, the 256GB model with zero accessories, wifi only, is 1000 dollars in Canada, you'd think a fast charging power brick could be thrown in.
tipoomaster yeah, it would be a nice thing to have with the more expensive models. I want to see a discount for the iPad, keyboard and pencil if all bought together.
It should all be free I have a 10.5 pro and I’m pissed the second gen pen will not work with this model bullshit onley Apple almost 200 for a leather sleeve with a Apple stamp on it oh and a spot for your pen
I'm not an Apple guy especially when it comes to iPads. I love my surface book. I haven't followed any iPads in the last few years. I stopped by my moms house the other day and notice and iPad at the kitchen table. Had no idea it was the newest iPad. Honestly the display blew me away and It took me a while to realize why it felt so oddly satisfying to use and look at. Anyways, I found out my older brother sold it to my mom because he needed money and my mom didn't really want it so I bought it off her lol.
Zero compromise by Apple on that crazy ass price for the Smart Keyboard....and it doesn't have a case protector??? YIKES :(( I just got my new 10.5 iPad Pro 256GB unit today, but am waiting for Zagg or Clam Case to release their keyboard unit.
Having the camera bump and no way to protect it is in fact a compromise. The fact that you can't connect it to the current MacBook Pro without having to purchase some expensive dingle is a compromise. And that keyboard cover looks horrible, that would drive me nuts with that step. I like what they've done internally but for the price they should be able to provide more. I think for the money i'd go with a Surface Pro.
The iPad line needs to go Bezelless for the WOW factor, speed doesn't do anything, since app devs make apps to cover as wide a range of users as possible.
This is the first Apple product I have generally been excited about in years. I've been looking to replace my windows 10 machine with something that better fits my everyday computing style, but I couldn't justify spending well over a grand on a new MacBook. So this new iPad Pro model will definitely fit the bill and while don't necessarily need a lte model I do like that T-Mobile has integrated Apple support into their insurance scheme. Yeah, I'm excited.
I got the Smart Keyboard for $28 new at a second hand shop. Still in the box unopened. Same shop got the 9.7 256 GB for less than $500. Only thing I didn’t get was the Pencil.
I like the new iPad Pro and I'm in need of a upgrade. The last iPad I purchased was the Air. So I'm a few models behind now. With all the new capabilities it's the perfect time to buy . Great job on your review I have watch about 7 different presentations. Hands-down yours is the best.
So now that the new iPad Air 3 is out, as well as the 11" and 12.9" iPad Pros (2018), what would you recommend to someone like me who is thinking of buying this one (seriously reduced prices now), vs. the Air 3 or the 11" Pro. I'm really sorry they discontinued the 9.7" of the iPad Air 2 that I have, it's the perfect size. So now you have to go small (7.9" Mini) or jump to 10.5" up to 12.9". Your thoughts would be good. Thanks.
Yeah.. I agree. 9.7" was the perfect size. I had the 2016 IPad Pro 9.7". I wasn't using it so I sold it. But now I wish I would have kept it. It was bigger than the mini but not as big as the other IPad Pros. Now.. I'm just like you. I want to buy a new IPad but Apple doesn't offer the 9.7" anymore... so now it's... go small or go BIG.
I think one thing that would help make the ipad an option to replace a laptop is to add mouse support so when you dock that keyboard you could use either the mousepad or the touch screen to move around the OS. This kinda makes me wonder, if Apple isnt for touch screens on a laptop then why try making the iPad a laptop replacement if your going to have to reach over the keyboard (smart connector), just a thought. Anyways nice video, I love iPads an Im very temped to buy it even though I don't need it
I really think the up graded camera is meant for private use. For example, people who like to record live videos or videos for their TH-cam channels would find it particularly useful. I don't think Apple meant for people to use it as casually as you would use a digital camera or your camera phone.
Just curious why you recommend the cellular option? I've had an iPad with cellular before and never ended up using that option. I now just connect my current iPad to my cell phone hotspot as needed for internet access. So just curious what your thoughts are on why you recommend cellular. Thanks for the great vid
11:24 To me the Lightning Port is a huge compromise. Very soon USB-C with Thunderbolt 3 will be standard (and it's already there for some time now). And then there will be a new pen, and new Hubs, etc. for the iPad Pro. It's kind of annoying, that they stuck to the old port for now.
I love, love, love the upgraded camera in this thing. I also love it facing both ways. I don’t have a decent camera and I only use cheap phone when I am out and about. I think the display looks awesome. I primarily watch movies on my iPad mini 2, but I want a larger screen. I also use my iPad for priductivity, but since iOS 11 updates I can’t use split screen on my mini2 anymore and the processor is inadequate for the iOS 11 update. Its now slow and unstable. I wish the 12” Pro wasn’t so cumbersome because I’d like to type on a larger keyboard and I’d like a big screen. Thanks for making such a great video.
hi, have you noticed any white spot that is visible in white background, just above the home button? I am considering this iPad, but saw online that many people are noticing it after a year. So want to check it with you. Thanks
Great review. I'm also disappointed about the lack of rear-side protection. Logitech has a nice alternative...but it won't be released for another month.
I honestly don't understand why they'd put resources into making a good rear camera on the iPads. I mean, I get the front camera for FaceTime or Skype calls but who in their right mind would actually use the rear camera for anything? Scanning documents doesn't require that good of a camera.
David Karlsson I believe it is used in sports analysis like golf swings. If you are teaching someone showing them a recording seconds later of what they are doing wrong can help improve someone's swing quicker than just being told. The same applies in other sport. For medical use, if the de facto device is an iPad then if you need to take quick photos to maybe get advice on a break or injury then you have this at hand. A better quality photo or video in these two instances is surely worthwhile. There are many other reasons including document scanning. I do 20-40 a day and I can tell you the better the camera the better the scan. Just because Samsung charges similar prices for lower spec does not mean Apple should. This is a premium device and Apple have given it the top notch power and features. Another reason why the iPad is way ahead of the competition.
David Karlsson in Enterprise if your device given to you is an iPad of course you use it, what else would you use. I know if you got your personal smart phone out and start taking pictures of semi-dressed patients you would be reprimanded. The advantages for say a golf swing is that a 10.5 inch screen is much better to see your swing than a 5 inch phone. What else would you use, a pro camera and bring a monitor to the range? When I am taking photos of car damage and want to edit to mark off the relevant areas it is so much easier with an iPad screen. Also document scanning, easy to take the scan and then to show that to the client on a bigger screen, far more professional than on a phone. Now with the 512 go iPad you can record far more video than you would on your iPhone making it far more useful if you are on holiday or working with video all day. Also if you are with a client taking photos, say of a wedding outfit then it is far more professional to show them what it looks like on a 13 inch screen than a camera or a phone. In fact there are numerous reasons why using a tablet camera, if it is good enough, is extremely useful for business.
I love my iPad pro, but I miss my mini 3. It was more convenient when on the go. I used to take my mini 3 everywhere. I can't take my pro out, it's too big. Feels uncomfterble using it on the train.
Awesome blog. I am listening with Apple earphones and it makes your voice even better. Love the sound of your voice, man. So soothing .... Thanks for sharing!
What was disappointing was that I expected an iPhone 7 Plus type dual camera with DOF features included in the new Ipad Pro...but it did not have that.
Plenty of compromises. The iPad is an expensive toy best suited for media consumption and very light computing use. It only runs mobile apps that have dumbed down UIs because they need to work with fingers. No professional music production software. No professional video editing software. Can't run virtual machines. No virtual desktops. Can't manage hundreds of tabs with an add-on loaded Firefox installation. Can't edit file metadata. You can't play games that require a higher level of input complexity than 1 finger of interaction. The file manager app, which isn't even out yet, is extremely simplistic compared to file managers in desktop operating system. Typing is uncomfortable and comparatively slow, so you can't type an essay or even an e-mail (while staying sane) unless you carry around a keyboard. It's not very powerful compared to any actual PC of similar prize. The millions of full-feature software available on the internet you will never be able to use on a toy like the iPad.
Chief there are tons of people doing full pro music production on the ipad pro. so much so that Berkeley College of Music offers a complete music production class on the ipad. Now there is complete mastering app for music mastering as well. Why don't U know this?
I’ve never seen so much attention paid to the paperwork in a tech unboxing as I have in this video. I was worried it wouldn’t have been reviewed, so I was extremely relieved lol
I bought one Ipad Pro of 256 GB and installed data & files upto 200 GB. Now due to some internal hardware repair I have to delete 200 GB data. Where shall I backup my data for future use. Does Ipad Pro Support 2 TB slim external hard drive of Seagate to store up my data? Does it support windows USB?
I am seriously considering cancelling my phone line and just using the iPad Pro 10.5 as my only source of technology. Can phone calls and or texts be made through one of these beauties?
AdrianVino yes, but you must have a iPhone with the same iCloud ID logged in. And you have to carry that iPhone with you, so you can’t use only the iPad without a phone in the bag or somewhere nearby.
I somehow don't understand why an iPad needs all that power. It even gets faster than a lot of Intel PCs and Macs. I mean of course it's a good selling point, it's good for gaming and some graphic-intensive apps. But Apple is selling it as a productivity tablet. So what's all the power for? I would understand more this power if it has Photoshop, Premiere Pro, etc. but it doesn't. But for a daily iPad use, it doesn't seem to be necessary.
Check Affinity Photo, I'm using it as a Photoshop replacement for a year now on my Mac. The speed is insane on the new iPad Pro. BIMx is also benefiting this beast, so cannot really complain.:)
Adolf Loos Adolf Loos I would really like to see more powerful apps in iOS. I think the new iPad Pro really justifies it's price. Since I'm looking for an app to replace photoshop, I'll check Affinity Photo.
Bryan Austin Mahmoud It has huge potential and will gain traction. Some have already mentioned affinity photo which is pro, desktop class. And I can't understate how good procreate is. I think MS should make office for iOS just as capable. They can- the ability is definitely there. Apple should also release final cut for iOS. I think iOS 11 and the new pro will begin to steer things.
10.5 ipad pro 120hz screen combo with apple pencil is great! Just need another tool to counter with the surface dial. A mouse maybe for web browsing or microsoft office. Or something better than the mouse or dial. Come on apple!

Chicks dig him.
Jeff Benjamin's the man
Lol
A A damn
HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO HOLD IT WITH ONE HAND OMG
lmao
Michael Ray he's using the palm extender thingy just like the selfie stick 😂
Do yourself a favor and never ever post a peepee pic on snapchat while you're holding it. That thing's gonna look tiny LOL
You know what they say about people with big hands
What a good Doggo big 🍆 😂😂😂😂 lol 1-1-18
anyone else finds it absurd that iPad Pro has 1080p FaceTime camera but Macbook Pro has 720p? No? Just me?
+Wop wop not just you. It's crazy.
Yeah especially for the price. I think it might be too big for how thin the top shell for Mac is. Otherwise pretty stupid. All iMacs should have the 4K one for FaceTime.
And the MacBook has a 480p one LOL
True. I have the new one with a touchbar and the front camera just makes me sad. :(
It’s obviously because the iPad has a 6.1mm chassis to fit the camera in, while the MacBook has a much thinner lid so it has to be a much smaller camera
Your hands are freakin huge. You're palming that!
Evan Oliver lol dude I was thinking he same thing
Evan Oliver,
he must have a huge.... never mind
pair of gloves?
Evan Oliver i guess he is a pianist
It's normal, I can also palm the iPad 9.7
At first blush the 10.5" iPP seems like a minor improvement over last year's 9.7"...but it all adds up to a pretty significant upgrade, IMO:
- 2x storage
- 2x RAM
- Better front and rear cameras
- Faster Touch ID
- 120hz refresh rate
- HDR support
- Better anti-reflective coating
- 30% faster processor
- Larger screen
- Full sized keyboard
My 9.7" iPP isn't that old, but I'm pulling the trigger on this.
good choice
also brighter display, better contrast
faster transfer speed via lightning and supports fast recharge with a 29w charger
gpu speed is almost double the performance also
So glad you continuously tap your finger on the bits you’re talking about otherwise I wouldn’t have a clue what you’re talking about.
The logi keyboard is a better keyboard. It’s a little less expensive too and it’s back lit. Just my po. Total game changer. This has allowed me to have no need for my computer. It awesome. I purchased the 11.
Your hands make it look like an iPad mini. LOL
Ken Nguyen Vietnamese?
I don't need a new iPad (got the 9.7" Pro), but I want one. 😫
jetho bestbuy has a trade in that gives you $250 for the 9.7 Pro so I'm switching to replace my laptop

Why do their lightning cables use USB type A when all of their Macs have USB-C??
Stupid..
+Zachary Laborde good question...
Because most people don't have a Mac from the past two years. Probably in a year or two they'll start shipping them with USB-C cables, that's my guess.
Davin Saputra You misunderstood. I meant the side of the cable that connects to the charger or the computer NOT the side that connects to the tablet.
It is pretty simple. If they delivered it only with Lightning to USB-C, all the old adapters were useless. It would only "make sense" for loading it from your MacBook Pro 16 or later, which takes 2 days to charge for iPad Pro 12.9
Ummm, its called raping your customers
Where did you buy that palm extender?
I just picked up a 256GB, and this thing is a BEAST. I can't wait to see what iOS 11 does for this thing. It is insanely fast and the ProMotion is honestly fantastic.

iPad Pro, so you can play Angry Birds without any lag.

MrDefeater94 or get Procreate and draw in an 8k canvas with many layers...

I can do that on my iPad Air 2
how about roblox (I know I'm going have loads of hate for playing roblox)
it just needs full programs ,apple motion - final cut / after effects / Xcode it's powerful enough for them the aspect ratio and size is good but for god's sake apple apps for developers and creators and not sure about this but would 120 Hz for reading better for the eyes- less eye strain- or not if so it would be perfect if we could adjust it manually too .
Adam Abbas Gold luck, you can fuill an nice gap there
i wish you success
Omar kmt I really wish they would put their own pro apps on it especially Xcode and Final Cut Pro! There is a great range of apps however so it's not irrelevant for pros. Right now it's a beast at photo editing but video editing there's not many apps in my opinion that take advantage of it's power.
Adam Abbas Do you have a name for it? I'd love to follow the App good luck!!!
A10 can't do that, it's an arm chip. It's good at what it does, but it won't work with x86

I just got one of these and its awesome, very little hint of scowling down
Still no 3D Touch though. Apple can easily use the Apple Pencil to do pressure sensitivity.
I mean, they don't need to produce a large pressure sensitive display. Let the Pencil do pressure sensitivity, not only for sketching, but also in other OS controls.
Allan Sh Jesus Christ no one uses the Apple pencil lmao wtf are you talking about. The Apple pencil is not a feature so no 3D touch at all

LordBattlefrontGamer Obviously. This led Rene Ritchie of iMore.com said "because Apple Hates You"
The Zagg keyboard has a pencil holder.....works great!
There is magnetic connection on the Smart Keyboard case for the pencil
I just buy two sleek black magnet strips one along the side of the pencil and one along back of the iPad looks sick and works great
The new Pro is a game changer, in that, it is a laptop killer and as expensive as it may be, it's cheaper than any high end machine and better. I'm sold.

@Comic Animations ipad pro is still alot better than the regular. The regular is great, but the pro is a step above

Honestly the display blew me away and It took me a while to realize why it felt so oddly satisfying to use and look at. Anyways, I found out my older brother sold it to my mom because he needed money and my mom didn't really want it so I bought it off her lol.
after seeing this, the bezels on the previous models look massive
Zero compromise by Apple on that crazy ass price for the Smart Keyboard....and it doesn't have a case protector??? YIKES :((
I just got my new 10.5 iPad Pro 256GB unit today, but am waiting for Zagg or Clam Case to release their keyboard unit.
Dan K nah, the price is normal, Microsoft asks just as much for their surface pro keyboards
Damien McCue they charge less for a far better keyboard... I love the Ipad but the keyboard is definitely not as good
You must have very long fingers. I can not even come close to holding my 9.4 iPad in one hand. Thanks for the video. As usual they are all great.
is it just me or is this video REALY satisfying?
Having the camera bump and no way to protect it is in fact a compromise. The fact that you can't connect it to the current MacBook Pro without having to purchase some expensive dingle is a compromise. And that keyboard cover looks horrible, that would drive me nuts with that step. I like what they've done internally but for the price they should be able to provide more. I think for the money i'd go with a Surface Pro.
The iPad line needs to go Bezelless for the WOW factor, speed doesn't do anything, since app devs make apps to cover as wide a range of users as possible.
Still rocking it 3 years later.
This is the first Apple product I have generally been excited about in years. I've been looking to replace my windows 10 machine with something that better fits my everyday computing style, but I couldn't justify spending well over a grand on a new MacBook.
So this new iPad Pro model will definitely fit the bill and while don't necessarily need a lte model I do like that T-Mobile has integrated Apple support into their insurance scheme.
Yeah, I'm excited.
1:58 I tried to hold my 3rd gen iPad like that and I dropped it... 😅
Kevoliva643 🤭😂
Kevoliva643 I have the 3rd gen iPad and might upgrade to this.
I got the Smart Keyboard for $28 new at a second hand shop. Still in the box unopened. Same shop got the 9.7 256 GB for less than $500. Only thing I didn’t get was the Pencil.
I like the new iPad Pro and I'm in need of a upgrade. The last iPad I purchased was the Air. So I'm a few models behind now. With all the new capabilities it's the perfect time to buy . Great job on your review I have watch about 7 different presentations. Hands-down yours is the best.
+Marcus Thomas thanks Marcus 😎
I have iPad Pro 10.5 and I find I now use it more then my laptop.
So now that the new iPad Air 3 is out, as well as the 11" and 12.9" iPad Pros (2018), what would you recommend to someone like me who is thinking of buying this one (seriously reduced prices now), vs. the Air 3 or the 11" Pro. I'm really sorry they discontinued the 9.7" of the iPad Air 2 that I have, it's the perfect size. So now you have to go small (7.9" Mini) or jump to 10.5" up to 12.9". Your thoughts would be good. Thanks.
Yeah.. I agree. 9.7" was the perfect size. I had the 2016 IPad Pro 9.7". I wasn't using it so I sold it. But now I wish I would have kept it. It was bigger than the mini but not as big as the other IPad Pros. Now.. I'm just like you. I want to buy a new IPad but Apple doesn't offer the 9.7" anymore... so now it's... go small or go BIG.
I think one thing that would help make the ipad an option to replace a laptop is to add mouse support so when you dock that keyboard you could use either the mousepad or the touch screen to move around the OS. This kinda makes me wonder, if Apple isnt for touch screens on a laptop then why try making the iPad a laptop replacement if your going to have to reach over the keyboard (smart connector), just a thought. Anyways nice video, I love iPads an Im very temped to buy it even though I don't need it
Apple does make a case for the back of the iPad but it starts at $78. Others that I found on Amazon can can be as low as $10
I really think the up graded camera is meant for private use. For example, people who like to record live videos or videos for their TH-cam channels would find it particularly useful. I don't think Apple meant for people to use it as casually as you would use a digital camera or your camera phone.
1:59 holy shit you can hold this with one hand
can use UAG cover ... it supports smart keyboard by removing the detectable UAG front cover
Is the 10.5” Pro or the iPad 2018 better for digital art/drawing?
10.5
Got my ipad pro monday, its AMAZING
Add scanning documents with help from ARKit and marking up PDFs with the pencil to the features
Just curious why you recommend the cellular option? I've had an iPad with cellular before and never ended up using that option. I now just connect my current iPad to my cell phone hotspot as needed for internet access. So just curious what your thoughts are on why you recommend cellular. Thanks for the great vid
I just got this new iPad its a huge upgrade from my iPad Air 2
Just bought it 256 GB for 564 Euros wow amazing and Brand new
Not like the Apple SIM, but you still got an option to install your own SIM card, right?
11:24 To me the Lightning Port is a huge compromise.
Very soon USB-C with Thunderbolt 3 will be standard (and it's already there for some time now).
And then there will be a new pen, and new Hubs, etc. for the iPad Pro.
It's kind of annoying, that they stuck to the old port for now.
I love, love, love the upgraded camera in this thing. I also love it facing both ways. I don’t have a decent camera and I only use cheap phone when I am out and about. I think the display looks awesome. I primarily watch movies on my iPad mini 2, but I want a larger screen. I also use my iPad for priductivity, but since iOS 11 updates I can’t use split screen on my mini2 anymore and the processor is inadequate for the iOS 11 update. Its now slow and unstable. I wish the 12” Pro wasn’t so cumbersome because I’d like to type on a larger keyboard and I’d like a big screen. Thanks for making such a great video.
hi, have you noticed any white spot that is visible in white background, just above the home button? I am considering this iPad, but saw online that many people are noticing it after a year. So want to check it with you. Thanks
Thanks for this excellent review and thanks for your good pronunciation so that non native speakers like me can easily understand.
I love your review about new iPad pro. Btw what camera did u use for this video? Thank you
I got a bit confused how wide that 10.5 ipad is coz you can hold it with one hand. Is your hand big or the width of that ipad is just small.
Great review. I'm also disappointed about the lack of rear-side protection. Logitech has a nice alternative...but it won't be released for another month.
This probably is the iPad review I enjoyed the most. 👍
+Julius Leal thank you for watching Julius.
I honestly don't understand why they'd put resources into making a good rear camera on the iPads. I mean, I get the front camera for FaceTime or Skype calls but who in their right mind would actually use the rear camera for anything? Scanning documents doesn't require that good of a camera.
David Karlsson I believe it is used in sports analysis like golf swings. If you are teaching someone showing them a recording seconds later of what they are doing wrong can help improve someone's swing quicker than just being told. The same applies in other sport. For medical use, if the de facto device is an iPad then if you need to take quick photos to maybe get advice on a break or injury then you have this at hand. A better quality photo or video in these two instances is surely worthwhile. There are many other reasons including document scanning. I do 20-40 a day and I can tell you the better the camera the better the scan. Just because Samsung charges similar prices for lower spec does not mean Apple should. This is a premium device and Apple have given it the top notch power and features. Another reason why the iPad is way ahead of the competition.
andyH_England but why would you use an iPad for any of those things?
David Karlsson in Enterprise if your device given to you is an iPad of course you use it, what else would you use. I know if you got your personal smart phone out and start taking pictures of semi-dressed patients you would be reprimanded. The advantages for say a golf swing is that a 10.5 inch screen is much better to see your swing than a 5 inch phone. What else would you use, a pro camera and bring a monitor to the range? When I am taking photos of car damage and want to edit to mark off the relevant areas it is so much easier with an iPad screen. Also document scanning, easy to take the scan and then to show that to the client on a bigger screen, far more professional than on a phone. Now with the 512 go iPad you can record far more video than you would on your iPhone making it far more useful if you are on holiday or working with video all day. Also if you are with a client taking photos, say of a wedding outfit then it is far more professional to show them what it looks like on a 13 inch screen than a camera or a phone. In fact there are numerous reasons why using a tablet camera, if it is good enough, is extremely useful for business.
David Karlsson taking pictures? I mean why not?
David Karlsson taking pictures? I mean why not?
I can actually see your hand from my bedroom window
Same, and i live in wakanda
Lol
hahaha
Didn’t even know my 10.5 had optical image stabilization. Now I know. Neat!
I also have this model with apple pencil and I am a school child in class 8th
I love my iPad pro, but I miss my mini 3. It was more convenient when on the go. I used to take my mini 3 everywhere. I can't take my pro out, it's too big. Feels uncomfterble using it on the train.
Awesome blog. I am listening with Apple earphones and it makes your voice even better. Love the sound of your voice, man. So soothing .... Thanks for sharing!
Should I buy the iPad Pro now or wait for the new iPad Pro? I heard it will come out on WWDC18 (this month)or September.
one of the best reviews i have watched and listened to yet...thanks...Excellent.
This video is very helpful! Even though I have an iPad Pro 9.7 inch, the video got me very excited for the iOS11 update.
It does the same thing. Just slightly faster is not worth it. You buy an iPad to get apps. The apps on both devices are the same
What was disappointing was that I expected an iPhone 7 Plus type dual camera with DOF features included in the new Ipad Pro...but it did not have that.
To reduce the camera lip. Would be harder to imagine a dual camera setup on an iPad.
I'm confused what's the point of a 4K camera if can't be viewed in 4K?
Watching this in 2024 to feel better about still using this 6 year old iPad
The audio... better than ASMR! What mic do you use?
The compromise is the durability. Rlly sad it isn't very durable. I'd still buy it though
OMG I notice the full black Magic Keyboard and mouse next to your iMac!
Great presentation Jeff! Very clear and explanatory which makes it easier to understand,! Thank you
5:46 if you don’t have them side by side you don’t really notice it unless you are really looking for it.
Dude, you got some huge hands! Bro, you just held that thing like you're showing us a phone.wooooh
Watching this review made me ever more happy I went with the 10.5!!
MarioAZarate it’s call Affinity Photo! 👍🏽
I was looking for unboxings like this all of them are bad this is the best unboxing
Plenty of compromises. The iPad is an expensive toy best suited for media consumption and very light computing use. It only runs mobile apps that have dumbed down UIs because they need to work with fingers. No professional music production software. No professional video editing software. Can't run virtual machines. No virtual desktops. Can't manage hundreds of tabs with an add-on loaded Firefox installation. Can't edit file metadata. You can't play games that require a higher level of input complexity than 1 finger of interaction. The file manager app, which isn't even out yet, is extremely simplistic compared to file managers in desktop operating system. Typing is uncomfortable and comparatively slow, so you can't type an essay or even an e-mail (while staying sane) unless you carry around a keyboard. It's not very powerful compared to any actual PC of similar prize. The millions of full-feature software available on the internet you will never be able to use on a toy like the iPad.
Angelo Dizon Yes that's what they did. They call the iPad Pro "your next computer" and they want people to switch from PC to the iPad.
Chief nice essay buddy
I know it's not as good as laptops, but not everyone does what you said on their device.
Chief PUBG Mobile and Fortnite say otherwise
Chief there are tons of people doing full pro music production on the ipad pro. so much so that Berkeley College of Music offers a complete music production class on the ipad. Now there is complete mastering app for music mastering as well. Why don't U know this?
Ayyy where is the 144p squad at
Cetrix sad😂
Cetrix enjoying 1440p on my S8plus
HAHA why? iPhone 7 Plus is only 1920 x 1080 where as Galaxy S8 Plus is 2960x1440. So it doesnt make a difference at all for you....
QrewGaming hes telling you there is no difference in your phone between 1080 and 1440 because your screen is 1080
well the S8 is the only model with a 1440p screen and its new so i didnt want people to call bs
I’ve never seen so much attention paid to the paperwork in a tech unboxing as I have in this video. I was worried it wouldn’t have been reviewed, so I was extremely relieved lol
3rd gen is just a MacBook that’s optimized. Imagine how smooth it will run
12.9 or 10.5 which one is better replacement of macbook? and why?
i wish you talked more about laptop replacement features and comparison
You've got big hands to hold the iPad Pro using one hand like that...
I bought one Ipad Pro of 256 GB and installed data & files upto 200 GB. Now due to some internal hardware repair I have to delete 200 GB data. Where shall I backup my data for future use. Does Ipad Pro Support 2 TB slim external hard drive of Seagate to store up my data? Does it support windows USB?
I am seriously considering cancelling my phone line and just using the iPad Pro 10.5 as my only source of technology.
Can phone calls and or texts be made through one of these beauties?
AdrianVino yes, but you must have a iPhone with the same iCloud ID logged in. And you have to carry that iPhone with you, so you can’t use only the iPad without a phone in the bag or somewhere nearby.
I somehow don't understand why an iPad needs all that power. It even gets faster than a lot of Intel PCs and Macs. I mean of course it's a good selling point, it's good for gaming and some graphic-intensive apps. But Apple is selling it as a productivity tablet. So what's all the power for? I would understand more this power if it has Photoshop, Premiere Pro, etc. but it doesn't. But for a daily iPad use, it doesn't seem to be necessary.
Bryan Austin Mahmoud I think they want to "push" developers to bring desktop-grade apps into the iOS.
Check Affinity Photo, I'm using it as a Photoshop replacement for a year now on my Mac. The speed is insane on the new iPad Pro. BIMx is also benefiting this beast, so cannot really complain.:)
Adolf Loos Adolf Loos I would really like to see more powerful apps in iOS. I think the new iPad Pro really justifies it's price. Since I'm looking for an app to replace photoshop, I'll check Affinity Photo.
Naum Rusomarov Is that why iPad sales beat surface all the time?
Bryan Austin Mahmoud It has huge potential and will gain traction. Some have already mentioned affinity photo which is pro, desktop class. And I can't understate how good procreate is. I think MS should make office for iOS just as capable. They can- the ability is definitely there. Apple should also release final cut for iOS. I think iOS 11 and the new pro will begin to steer things.
i saw a student using this accessory but it has the pen holder
I hope they make a mini iPad pro cause the 10.5 is way to big for me tbh
10.5 ipad pro 120hz screen combo with apple pencil is great!
Just need another tool to counter with the surface dial. A mouse maybe for web browsing or microsoft office. Or something better than the mouse or dial.
Come on apple!
