Top 5 - Reasons to hold off on the Apple iPad Pro

2015-10-26
welcome to top 5 where we countdown things I'm your host Aya's Akhtar Apple's big iPhone 6s announcement came and went and the big news was the iPad pro no pun intended the audience booed and awed the monster tablet and what it could do there are plenty of reasons to buy an iPad pro and we'll cover that in another top 5 however today we're counting down the top 5 reasons to hold off on the iPad pro at number 5 you already have an iPad air sure there are performance boosts with the air 2 and the pro but how slow is your current iPad anyway Apple's iPads have aged relatively well and they'll gain some functionality with iOS 9 iPad air 2 will get more cool stuff in the original air but can you miss what you never had at number four you're not a giant the new iPad pro is twelve point nine inches the nine point seven inch model wasn't that portable but this is even less portable the iPad pro will feel like holding a decapitated 13 inch laptop now if you're a giant of a human perhaps this will feel natural for some of us it might be a little weird number three no 3d touch display Apple spent a lot of time discussing with set the iPhone 6s apart from the iPhone 6 and that was the 3d touch display they could sense how hard you press on the glass so you can use your phone in a new way the iPad pro doesn't have this technology for some reason granted you could probably get similar functionality by picking up the Apple pencil but if 3d touch caught your eye you might actually want to wait for the next generation iPad pro at number two the price let's get down to the money here you want the iPad pro it'll cost you at least 800 dollars if you want a version that runs on wireless carriers there's only one and it costs one thousand $79 oh and those cool demos showing off at the Apple event with that new stylus the Apple pencil will cost another hundred dollars and if you want that smart keyboard cover pony up another 170 dollars please one thousand three hundred and forty seven dollars is what you'll pay for an LTE iPad pro with those two accessories you know what time it is it's time for Twitter I asked you guys on Twitter what would stop you from buying an iPad Pro Kamerion said I would be more interested if it ran OS 10 that would make it a real surface ripoff well exactly what I want at scene D said the lack of available software for my job UX design and MJ Dumas said nothing I'm buying thanks for your feedback and on to number one and at number one you think it'll replace your laptop when I saw iOS 9 and it's multitasking capabilities it looked like the iPad could one day replace a laptop however that day hasn't happened yet the iPad pro still uses Apple's lightning connector so accessories have to be specially made for the iPad pro or you're going to need something like nning to whatever adapter had the iPad pro made the move to USB C like Apple's MacBook now that could have been interesting there's also a question of how well multitasking will work compared to a traditional computer and so we draw to a close another top five we're lucky to have the best audience out there so it's always great to hear from you on Twitter if you disagreed or agreed with this list let me know I'm at Aya's thanks for watching and I'll see you next time you
