Design
The iPad Pro’s display features the same Liquid Retina technology found on iPhones, and has a 2388 x 1668 resolution, ProMotion technology, wide color and True Tone support, as well as a 600 cd/m2 brightness rating. On the rear, Apple has added a 10MP ultra-wide camera, enabling different perspectives and multi-camera use. A newly added LiDAR scanner, which determines distance by determining light reflection, further readies possibilities for augmented reality and beyond.
Liquid Retina Display – Apple iPad Pro 11 256GB WiFi + 4G space grey
The Liquid Retina display in the iPad Pro features wide color support, True Tone, and an anti-reflective coating for a natural, accurate viewing experience both indoors and out. It also supports ProMotion technology, which automatically adjusts the display’s refresh rate, up to 120Hz, for smooth and responsive scrolling.
Face ID & Cameras
With the removal of the home button, the iPad Pro now utilizes its 7MP front-facing TrueDepth camera with Face ID for security and unlocking your device. It works in any position and enables you to use Apple Pay in apps as well as Animoji and Memoji in chats. At the rear is a 12MP camera, which supports 4K video, document scanning, and AR experiences, as well as a 10MP ultra-wide camera for a different perspective.
A12Z Bionic Chip
The Apple A12Z Bionic chip, built on 7nm technology, is designed to tackle complex tasks such as editing photos, creating 3D models, and more. Additionally, a Neural Engine chip works alongside the A12Z for advanced machine learning from photography to AR.
USB Type-C
The USB Type-C connector has replaced the Lightning connector as a one-cable solution for a wide variety of connectivity options. It supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 speeds for up to 10 Gb/s file transfers, an external 5K resolution display, and even other devices for sharing power.
Battery Life
Built with a 36.71 W lithium-polymer battery, the iPad Pro is rated to last for up to 10 hours while surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching videos, or listening or music. Models utilizing cellular network data for these services will have around a nine hour battery life instead.
Apple Accessories
Built with over 100 magnets, the iPad Pro seamlessly connects to additional accessories. The Apple pencil can magnetically attach to the side of the iPad Pro for simultaneous pairing and charging. On the other hand, the magnets firmly secure the Smart Folio Keyboard in place and detach easily for alternate viewing modes.
Apple iPad Pro 11 256GB WiFi + 4G space grey customer review
I’m exchanging my new iPad Pro for a Macbook Pro or Air. Here’s why….
As has been noted in many tech blogs and test labs, the Apple iPad Pro is an impressive tablet. But it’s not a computer per se. It has a lot of technical innovations, but at heart it’s just a much bigger iPhone with a touch-sensitive screen refined sufficiently so that you can draw on it. You still must get your iOS applications from the Apple Store, which is a severe limitation of the iPad Pro’s utility. Those that are available are not always the best but are always the most expensive. Not being able to use macOS applications … well, say goodbye to the world of computing.
As for internal storage, it varies with price, but to share and sync data among your devices, you must stash everything in the Apple iCloud or another cloud system (for a price). As a longtime Mac user, I’m not thrilled by the iCloud’s imposition of rules on how to handle my data. At least with a Macbook of one sort or another I retain control of how these things are done. Call me old fashioned, but having my provider dictate to me how to run my digital life is a big deal with me.
The keyboard that one can buy for text entry is seriously crippled: no backlighting, no touchpad, no easy scrolling or positioning of the cursor, and it’s about half the size of a conventional keyboard. The keys have very little “travel,” which is great if you’re a skilled touch typist. But if not, you’ll be prone to errors that seem almost spontaneous as your fingers weigh on the keys. Making text changes with one’s fingers is challenging. I didn’t buy the pencil because I’m not graphically inclined. I hear it’s ideal for artists and designers, etc., which may be true of the iPad Pro overall.
If Apple is reading this, please consider developing (1) a Macbook capable of emulating the visual, aural, and touch capabilities of the iPad Pro; and (2) an iPad Pro that’s more akin to a Macbook Air or Pro, with all of those platforms’ data-manipulation capabilities. Why not, as one big-magazine reviewer suggested, a Macbook Air or Pro (or both) that operates as a computer, with a removable lid that can operate as an iPad Pro — all running Mac OS rather than the iOS that’s suited (maybe) to phone use, but not much else?
I’m sorry that Apple has stumbled so badly with the iPad Pro — not technically, but in terms of performance flexibility and ultimately, customer satisfaction. I’ve been an Apple fan since I bought one of the first Apple IIs for the California Legislature, where I was a principal tech- and telecom policy consultant. Later, our office was the first to employ a network of Mac IIs. Of course I had several of the little white Mac portables. And for that brief time when Jobs was gone and Emilio was running Apple, I bought a Motorola StarMax, a beast of a machine with an interface licensed to Motorola by Apple. More recently, I’ve used a string of Macs of every variety, and OSs culminating in the current OSX variations. I’ve even experimented with Mac VR.
I expect Apple to get back on its horse and come up with a bonus solution that unites the best of its Macbooks, its iPads, and its VR engines to really up our computing games. Hey, do it now!
