the all new iPad pro plenty of new design changes thinner bezels and no home button or headphone jack it's time to see if this massive tablet is durable the iPad pro is basically the same price as the iPhone 10 arm and appears to actually be one of the more reasonably priced Apple products it even comes with a standard USB C charging board Apple's moving in the right direction let's get started this is the smaller of the two iPads the 11 inch version perfect size for a backpack or book bag Apple has also released an updated version of the Apple pencil which is good last year's design included plenty of stupid poking out the bottom of the iPad while charging like an elephant trunk just waiting to snap off this year it's held onto the side of the iPad with magnets and charges wirelessly not quite as smooth as the integrated note 9 s-pen which charges internally in seconds with a super capacitor Apple doesn't include this pencil in the box probably out of respect to Steve Jobs who wants a stylus you have to get them and put them away and you lose him yeah nobody wants a stylus but let's be honest they mostly just want you to pay extra for it the tip of the pristine clean white pencil does not appear to be replaceable like they are on samsung's s-pen so if you want to find our tip you'll just have to sharpen it manually we all know it's what's inside the Apple pencil that matters most though dead center is the weakest point probably a tad stronger than your average wooden pencil this immediately gives us unrepairable access to the wireless charging component these copper coils absorb energy wirelessly through the induction field on the side of the iPad I'll skin the rest of the pencil it has a pressure-sensitive tip and a row of strong magnets along the flat side of the writing utensil the upper half is a bit harder to get inside the super white plastic coating is not meant to come off inside of the upper half of the stiff metal frame is where the battery resides I tried opening up the metal to get a better look at the battery size and information but after it squirted battery acid at me I decided it was not a fun activity let's start with the scratch test we know glass is glass at this point but we still got a check and make sure Apple isn't pulling a fast one on anyone and using less durable materials than what we're used to it is interesting to see how thin the glasses though each scratch of my picks leaves major temporary impressions on the pixels we get the standard scratching at level six with deeper grooves at a level seven so the screen is still made from glass and not plastic but it's super thin there is a front facing camera does the whole face ID thing now that the home button is gone the volume buttons up on the right hand corner are made from metal along with the whole right side of the iPad except for this little patch of plastic in the middle for the wireless charging induction can happen through metal so Apple cut out the metal and added this little plastic layer that allows the power to flow through to the pencil hopefully the plastic doesn't compromise any structural integrity later on down to the bottom we get our two large speaker grilles we'll have to see if these are decoration or not during the teardown video and we also have our USB C port which can be used to charge other devices pretty cool hopefully Apple makes this port the standard across all their devices in the future that would be an awesomely beneficial move for the customer the left side of the iPad is blank except for one little microphone hole right smack dab in the center you know how easy it is to rip your jeans after a hole has already been started the same thing applies to metal that hole is a weak point and I can see this probably being a problem in the future there are two more microphone holes up at the top of the iPad and between the two ginormous speaker grilles there's also the power button all metal the back of the iPad pro is also metal Apple focused quite a bit on how well people can draw on the new iPad pro but they never really specified on which side of the iPad the drawings need to occur this is the biggest art class with Jerry canvas I've ever had and the anodized aluminum makes a perfect surface as an artist I definitely have to agree with that one this one the iPad is really good for drawing yeah the front has liquid retina with a hundred and twenty Hertz touch sensitivity but the back has a hundred and twenty Hertz your ear sensitivity and you can't beat that if you guessed I was drawing spider-man I'm impressed with your creative thinking or maybe the iPad pro just makes me look better at drawing than I actually am hopefully Stan Lee approves the Apple logo does kind of distract from the overall appearance though so it's good to know if you ever want to get rid of the Apple logo or hide any accidental scratches debrand has you covered quite literally this textured black matrix feels more professional than just the bare aluminum but the best news is that with D brand the Apple pencil now looks like an actual pencil and still connects and charges wirelessly that doesn't get any better than that I'll leave a link down in the description if you want to customize your own phone or iPad and thanks addy brand for sponsoring this video we already know the result of our next test Apple is once again touting sapphire camera lens covers on their iPad pro and as we know sapphire should scratch at level 8 making it a very premium durable scratch resistant product more so than glass glass scratches at level 6 but Apple sapphire is not the same quality we've seen in other places like HTC zorty so's Apple sapphire scratches like glass at level 6 super annoying when Apple is bragging about premium materials that don't actually perform like they should it makes real sapphire look bad you would think Apple would be able to afford real sapphire but maybe next time the massive 11 inch display is using Apple's liquid retina technology which is just an LCD and lasted 10 seconds under the heat from my lighter before turning off I'm still impressed that I can buy this whole iPad pro for basically the same price as a 10 R which is probably just another example of that phone being incredibly overpriced like always with my durability test it's time for the bin test I doubt this tablet will ever end up in a back pocket but it will be in backpacks and book bags or laying around unnoticed on a couch cushion chair or bed before someone sits down structural integrity is still important and the iPad pro just doesn't have any of that structural integrity stuff at tablet the size of a piece of paper folds like a piece of paper I do feel bad for spider-man though I'll try to straighten him out perfect it looks like the two weakest points are right dead center on either side of the iPad pro the correct frame happened right at the poorly placed microphone hole and again over here on the poorly supported wireless charging dock for the pencil the thin glass screen isn't helping out structurally and neither are the loose on compare to meant alized pouch style lithium ion batteries the iPad pro is a thin Ridge 'less aluminum sack with no structure holding things together like tin foil wrapped around mashed potatoes there are four massive speakers inside which is pretty impressive at least now I don't have to make a teardown video Apple focused on making the thinnest iPad they could without putting much thought into structure or weak points in the frame so make sure if it's ever in a backpack you don't lean up against a chair or a wall and make sure grandma doesn't accidentally sit on it because it won't survive
