iPad Pro 10.5 Review! With Apple Smart Keyboard!

2017-06-15
this year's WWDC was pretty big Apple is doing new iMac and Mac books with Cabul eight processors they gave us a sneak peek of the new home pot and iMac pros which are due out in December unless they get delayed and they also showed off the new 10.5 inch iPad pro but for some reason it didn't get too much love at the time of the event so that's why I got one and a smart cover and we're going to reveal so while I get these things out of the box don't forget to Like comment and subscribe I think you're going to like this video so this here is the 10.5 inch screen iPad pro Wi-Fi only in space grey with 64 gigabytes of storage this one will cost you 600 $49 plus tax if space gray is in your style you can also get it in silver gold or rose gold for $749 you can get the 10.5 inch iPad pro with 256 gigabytes of storage and for $949 you can get it with 512 gigabytes of storage and the fully loaded iPad pro with Wi-Fi and cellular capabilities will cost you a grand total of 1000 $79 inside the box it's pretty standard for Apple the tablet is front and center you get a lightning to USB cable and a USB power adapter Apple is really trying to make the iPad a laptop replacement for average consumers and for someone who just uses our computer tech social media watch videos answer email in oriental free reports I think it's very doable and with all the cloud storage options out there right now I think a lot of people can get away with just a 64 gig option for comparison the 10.5 inch iPad pro footprint is just a little taller and wider than the nine point seven inch iPad the 10.5 iPad pro is 6.1 millimeters thick while the 9.7 ipad is 7.5 millimeters thick and the bezels on the iPad pro are much smaller than your standard iPad concerning all of the power that's packed in here that's pretty impressive and they both weigh in at just one pound concerning specs the 10.5 iPad pro has a 12 megapixel camera on the back with optical image stabilization and consume video in 4k and record 720p video at 240 frames per second for super slow motion it can also do 1080p at 120 frames per second as well it also has a seven megapixel front-facing camera for FaceTime and snapchat filters and captures video at 1080p there's a touch ID sensor on the front that's two times faster and when it comes to Wi-Fi it has up to eight hundred sixty-six megabytes per second down so you can binge the new Game of Thrones Season seven without any interruption I'm going to have a separate video showcasing the 10.5 inch iPad pro 4k video and image quality so make sure you check it out after this video I can't include 4k shots in this video because of my current setup so many shots you see in this video taken by the iPad on 1080p at 60 frames per second so they're going to be like super super smooth but not as detailed one of the standout features on the 10.5 iPad pro that I think is what the upgrade is the screen sir is 20 percent bigger than the nine point seven inch iPad but in person the screen looks freakin amazing video doesn't do it justice the screen on my iPad pro has 120 Hertz refresh rate which means everything looks extremely smooth it's almost liquid for comparison the standard iPad screen has a refresh rate of 60 Hertz and once you get used to 120 Hertz on the iPad pro you can really tell the difference it's like when Apple released a Retina displays on their iPhone for the first time and once you saw it you couldn't go back and you were able to see individual pixels unnhhh on Retina displays well at least I did another big plus is the screens anti-reflective coating that makes the screen easier to read in direct sunlight than your standard iPad and the larger screen on the iPad pro means you'll get a full screen digital keyboard to type on although this seems like an arbitrary detail it's actually a big deal the first half of the script of this video I wrote on the nine point seven inch iPad and adjusting to the keyboard was a little tough and I did feel some cramping in my knuckles after a while first of all problems but the second half of the script I wrote on the iPad problem and the slightly larger keyboard was much more comfortable to use honestly when Apple announced a 12 point 9 inch iPad pro and when I saw it in person I thought it was a little ridiculous but I think they hit a sweet spot with the template 5 inch version and here are a few other things that you should know about the 10.5 iPad pro it adds up to a 10 hour battery life but if you're doing something intensive expected to drop dramatically but I got us all in that now as with battery life when I was shooting all that for take footage stitching it together and just doing normal things like watch videos check my email and just search the web as for speakers like the larger iPad pro and it sounds pretty good for a tablet just four gigabytes of RAM and an a-10 x-fusion ship and starting percent faster than the previous iPad pro all of this makes for a comfortable size tablet that runs very smooth with an all-day battery life now once they my iPad pro lag or struggle to keep up but Apple products are known to slow down after some time but hopefully this will be able to keep up for the long run especially with all that AR Apple is pushing this iPad pro is currently running iOS 10 and it's identical to what you would see on your iPhone but you can have multiple windows open and multitask and the iPad pro has no problem keeping up with two processor intensive apps like Google Earth and maps open I can even multi-touch and use both hands simultaneously without any problems multitasking on the iPad pro isn't perfect but it's a step in the right direction multitasking on the iPad programs iOS 11 hits is really going to change things also don't forget this iPad pro can also be used with Apple's new pencil I didn't get it because I really don't need it but Apple claims that three new pens to pair with the new 120 Hertz screen means that they have the lowest latency stylus on the market I still want to compare it to a surface pro imperson though just like the larger iPad pro this 10.5 iPad pro also has a dock connector so you can attach Apple Smart keyboard and thanks to the slightly larger footprint the keyboard on the smart keyboard is now also full size but at $159 the smart Keyboard isn't cheap if you want to have a keyboard with you at all the times and you want to keep your iPad as thin as possible that is worth getting but if you're not planning on typing on the iPad pro a lot then it would just be better to use the on-screen keyboard or just get a cheap third-party Bluetooth keyboard I know Liza tech have some crazy options and they just released a crazy case with a backlit keyboard and Apple pencil holder and abducts with the smart connector for 12999 I wonder if I shouldn't review it but typing on the smart Keyboard also takes a little getting used to the spacing of the keys is very familiar but they are a little smaller they also have a very small amount of throw to them but is similar to what you would find on the current MacBooks the keys themselves are just slightly concaved and there's a textured horizontal paddle to them which really help give your fingers of style of grip while you type so has Apple finally made an iPad that's good enough to replace your laptop well if your casual user then yeah I really think you'll be able to get by just fine with an iPad pro in a full-size keyboard and when I refer to a casual user I mean someone who just consumes media answers email on a regular basis and might have to make a PowerPoint or keynote here in there but if you're a power user or a creative you're still going to be better off at the laptop or workstation or even a surface pro the iPad still isn't winning full desktop apps so it's a huge crutch if you're trying to use much more complicated software ad versions of your favorite programs just isn't going to cut it a lot of people will argue that the iPad will never be able to replace your computer because it's not running a full desktop OS well maybe things will change with the release of iOS 11 there's a lot of functionality coming to the iPad in general in the near future but here are a few issues I have with the iPad and the Smart Cover first is with the volume rocker I like to hold my iPad here at the bottom half if I'm holding it vertically if I want to adjust the volume I can't just do this I have to raise my hand and go looking for these buttons and they're tiny too they're the same size as buying on the iPhone I just want to see Apple bring these buildings down a little bit so I can adjust the volume from here now I know you can use control center to adjust a volume well why have the buttons if you're not going to put them in the right place another issue I have is with the Smart Cover and the camera placement I know some people think taking pictures with the iPad is a little ridiculous but if there's a camera I'm going to use it if I'm using my iPad and the smart case is open and I want to take a picture I can't just do this I have to do this or I have to do this and this is just uncomfortable and while I was out getting to 4k footage there were times where I was doing this this is not optimal my suggestion is to move the camera sensor from this side to this side and have a slit here on the smart case so that when I have the smart case open and I want to take 4k video there's going to be a hole here so the sensor can see whatever I'm trying to shoot and this way I can keep this a caisson and there's going to be a lot of good for me to hold on to now I know moving the sensor for one side of the device to the other is going to require a lot of work on Apple's part but I know they can do it I believe in you but if you're in the market for an iPad and you're trying to design between a standard iPad in the iPad pro I say spring for the iPad pro the screen is just so amazing you get four speakers a whole lot of power and if you're the type of person that records and takes pictures with an iPad then you're really going to like the sensor on the back you can even edit export and post your 4k video onto YouTube directly from your tablet that's what I did that's something like current MacBook can't do what I'm still going to keep my laptop around personally I wouldn't go in installed working on a CAD drawing at a full video or working on a Photoshop project from scratch on an iPad due to organic and software reasons assisting that 4k video on the iPad took longer than just doing it on a computer but I would definitely like to use the iPad pro to take those prizes with me so I can put the final touches on them on the go or have them with me so I can show people my projects on that awesome screen if you have the budget I think of base iMac Pro paired with this 10.5 inch iPad pro would be pretty cool just start working on your project on your iMac Pro and then transfer those projects to the iPad pro and take them with you on the go so people can see exactly what you're working on hey if you enjoyed the video please
