Apple's iPad Pro is finally here. The new iPad Pro comes in two different sizes – the 11-inch model and the 12.9-inch model -and adds along Face ID, a new A12X Bionic chip, support for USB-C, and more, all packed into its slimmest design yet.
While Apple's new device offers plenty of additions to be excited about, there are also things we are not too keen on. Here are five things we love about the iPad Pro, and we are not five.
Features we love:
Face ID
Following the release of the iPhone X, Apple made it clear that it is slowly phasing out its Touch ID technology on its devices and replacing it with Face ID. Thanks to the addition of a TrueDepth camera, facial-recognition technology is now on the iPad Pro, too. Rather than using your fingerprint, you'll be able to unlock your iPad and use Apple Pay by simply looking at the display. The 7-megapixel 3D-face scanner is also redesigned to work in any direction – whether you're holding it in portrait fashion or landscape mode – so there's no wrong way to unlock it.
The removal of Touch ID is also a way to navigate the device. First introduced in iOS 12, you use the same gestures you would have on the iPhone X. You have to swipe for the control center. You can access the dock by swiping up from the bottom, and continue to swipe up to access the App Switcher. To continue to use your most recently used apps, simply swipe along the bottom edge. There is also the ability to use dragging and dropping apps, along with the slide on feature that allows you to quickly get an app and swipe it away.
Large Liquid Retina display
While the new iPad has grown larger, Apple made sure that the dimensions of the devices were also bigger. This year, both models are 5.9mm thin – the thinnest the iPad has ever been – which should make it much easier to carry.
As mentioned before, iPad Pro comes in two sizes: An 11-inch model and 12.9-inch model. Both feature an edge-to-edge Liquid Retina display with rounded corners, that's also found in the iPhone XR, packed into a smaller frame with slimmer bezels. The 11-inch iPad Pro has the same footprint as the 10.5-inch model – but it has a bigger display and more pixels while still weighing only a pound. As for the 12.9-inch display, it has a 25 percent reduction in volume in comparison to the latest iPad Pro model.
Equipped with a USB-C port
With Apple's latest lineup of MacBooks, the iPad Pro now has a USB-C port, replacing the Lightning connector found on its predecessors. In addition to using it to charge the device, you will be able to connect your iPad to external displays and docks along with instruments and cameras. Using a USB-C to Lightning cable, you also have the ability to use the iPad to charge your iPhone.
Brings the A12X Bionic chip
For the very first time, the iPad Pro packs Apple's A12X Bionic chip. Apple says single-core performance is up by 35 percent, while multi-core workloads are 90 percent faster. There is also a seven-core GPU that delivers faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster and faster. In terms of battery life, the company claims it can last up to 10 hours.
Apple Pencil connects magnetically, wirelessly charges
Tired of misplacing your Apple Pencil? With the new iPad Pro, that is more likely to be a problem anymore; the Apple Pencil now attaches magnetically to the device. But it does not stop there, you will be able to connect it to the iPad. Once connected, the display will indicate that it is currently being charged.
With the Apple Pencil, you can also switch between different modes with a double tap and you can automatically launch the app.
Features we do not love:
High price tag
Pricing for the iPad Pro is still a bit high (and a little more expensive than the 2017 iPad Pro models), starting at $ 800 and going all the way up to $ 2,000 – depending on the model and configuration you purchase. If you want Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity, an extra $ 150 will be added to the original cost of the device. While it does come with a few new features along with a sleeker and thinner design, you'll be able to get more involved if you're looking for a device with plenty of storage and cellular connectivity.
No 128GB storage option
The iPad Pro comes in a few different configurations – 64GB, 256Gb, and 512GB. For those who need more space than 512GB, there is also a 1TB option available. We wish Apple would have omitted the 64GB model completely, in exchange for 128GB iPad Pro as the base model. Especially since the 64GB configuration is not cheap – the 11-inch model starts at $ 800 while the 12.9-inch model starts at $ 1,000, and that is without cellular connectivity. It's tough to check out that much money on an iPad with such a small amount of storage that will fill up quickly.
Say goodbye to the headphone jack
Not only is Apple doing away with the Lightning connector, but the company has also removed the 3.5mm-headphone jack from the new iPad Pro. While it's unclear whether or not it will ship with a USB-C to 3.5mm dongle, you'll need it if you still want to use your device. Otherwise, you will probably want to consider switching to wireless headphones.
The camera bump
As Apple's latest lineup of iPhones, Apple still included the same camera on the back of its iPad Pro. While the front of the iPad looks sleek and streamlined, the camera bump looks out of place and unnecessary. Unless you have a box on it, the bump
Needs more console-like games
With its A12X Bionic chip and seven-core GPU, Apple says the new iPad Pro delivers up to twice the graphics that provides console-quality graphics – obviously making it as powerful as the Xbox One. like Civilization VI and PUBG Mobile for the iPad Pro, we're looking forward to seeing you in the future. At its event, Apple announced that NBA 2K will be available for the new iPad Pro so hopefully, this means there is more to come in the near future.
