for the past few years each generation of iPad we've been promised that this is gonna be the one that's gonna assure in the future of mobile computing this is the one that's the paradigm shift to how you use and think of a computer and for the most part it's just been small updates and processor improvements with the exception of this current gen iPad pro and the more I use it the more time I spend with it the more I start to think Apple might just be right so I think even Android purists would acquiesce a little bit and say that the iPad pro is the best tablet on the market and I get that's kind of like being the best player on the Lakers maybe nobody cares but what the iPad is doing is really big in the space so this generation iPad pro brought a lot of really new things I've been using on a daily basis for the past three months and things I really like it's a new redesign it's thinner it feels better and it looks different which is nice to have my pads and pretty much looked identical from almost gen one you might not know it cuz no notch on the iPad pro but face ID is here it makes sense on a phone and make this on a tablet I'm not gonna talk too much about it you know what it does and it works really well here perhaps the biggest change for Apple that I really honestly didn't see coming was the inclusion of USB C was a really big deal opens up the iPad ecosystem to a lot more third-party accessories it gave the ability to reverse charge you can charge your phone or another USB C device from your iPad that lets you use a lot of cables you already had probably from your you know non iPhone phones or any other USB see things you might have it was a really big deal the 11 seems a little small for me so I went for the comically large 12.9 and I've loved the larger size if you use the old 12.9 this feels much smaller cuz them bezels are totally slimmed down the screen is beautiful the resolution is great anything you can want to do on it looks good weather it's movies whether it's TV games whatever the screen is really good like historically with iPads they've gotten like one change that was a big deal the cherished iPad pro got singling everything an Apple got the iPads kind of where they've wanted it to be and despite it having a lot of awesome things in it it's still far from perfect so before we continue on with the iPad coverage hope you guys have been joining the videos and coming out on the channel we're having a blast making it and hopefully you can notice the difference if you like the video be sure to subscribe into that little Bellis to get notified when new videos are coming your way and I want to give a huge thank you to this video sponsor Mac paw so I think one of the best feelings about getting a new Mac it's taking off the plastic turning it on and it being crazy fast for the first like a few weeks or even a few months but if you keep your computers well you know like I do for years just by the nature of what they're doing they start to slow down that's where something like CleanMyMac X comes in and sort of brings your computer back to that new phase well I can't rewrap your computer and plastic they can't make it as fast as it was on day one if you're looking at free up hard drive space this is going to scan your computer for sort of partial or half downloads and it'll get rid of those for you generally freeing up you know gigs of space it'll also check for malware things have maybe been slowing your computer down or maybe things are running in the background that you didn't know or don't want running it'll scan for all of those things if you care about reclaiming your lost hard drive space or removing malware from your computer one of the first app you should check out should be clean my Mac X file learn more about it will link to them down below obviously I love the hardware on the iPad pro from a spec standpoint the thing is a straight up beast in a beautiful package and as awesome as all the components that make up the iPad pro are it almost makes it more glaring kind of how frustrating and lacking the software can be so the iPads obviously running iOS and it's front it's a purposes a larger version of the phone OS with some nice tweaks that are custom for the iPad and I think that is where the iPad is really lacking if Apple's vision is mobile computing mobile computing is not a phone operating system I'm not a huge proponent of like forking os's but I think it's time for Apple to make a dedicated pad OS where the iPad clearly stretch its legs and become what Apple wants it to be the hardware's there the software just like a few steps behind let me just look at the home screen on the iPad look at the space between those icons Apple could do a lot more for with that space things like widgets could be their home screen apps could be an option the iPads can be the future of mobile computing I can't go app home screen app home screen app home screen gotta be able to get information at a glance and that's really where iOS is lacking I think this kind of pad OS could fill that gap really nicely so one end it was nice to have a files app built in iOS but with USBC it's really apparent how restrictive that is so sort of a universal file management wherever I plug in if I could plug it into my macbook pro I want to be able to see what those files are on the iPad usually when Apple releases iPads that kind of make it for the next version of the OS in mind so maybe it's gonna be iOS 13 that'll sort of be this kind of pad OS but Apple click clearly has a broader vision of what the iPad can do otherwise I can understand why they would pack such crazy specs an incredible PC like performance in a tablet and then it completely neuter what it's capable of with software I mean the whole idea behind the iPad was that you could hold the Internet in your hand and like that was the vision with what a tablet should be and could be an apple hit that out of the park with the very first generation so if you look at the first generation 2 now obviously you still have the Internet in your hand but the Internet's changed what you can do with the Internet has changed how you interacted the Internet has changed and the iPad for the most part has you know changed with it but there are few things it's still really lacking so when I look back and the wonder of the first iPad and I kind of look at the new Jenner big you are awesome and you could bring that same amount of wonder or just a few things could be fixed I still love what the initial mission was of the iPad I still love holding the Internet in my hand and obviously you can do that on your phone or smaller screen sort of having websites and the full breadth of the Internet sort of right in your hands and whenever you're laying in bed or on an airplane that's still awesome to me I mean it's how I am consuming most of my media it's how I'm I'm watching my Netflix how I'm watching Hulu I cut the cord so all of my TV is done on YouTube TV it's all of those things for me and perhaps the most important job and don't judge me it's during football season it's but I want to watch the Rams and I just need like a few hours of quiet so I'll put a movie on let my kids hold the iPad that alone makes it worth the exorbitant price as a sports fan and a dad but it does a lot of things does a lot of things really well it just doesn't do everything that it's capable of I'm gonna kind of feel like the iPads like one of my kids I got to pull it aside and be like you can do it you've got it in you to be awesome if you can just reach your potential and study hard maybe get software that's not limiting you you can do anything I pad son or daughter just just Papa Tim needs to let you grow to get your full potential I also really like that the iPad can be different things I have friends from music producers and for them it's how they do their jobs I friends who are artists and it's how they edit their photos sort of I think it's cool that the iPad can mean different things different people as the app ecosystem starts to get better it's not just an internet device anymore it's kind of whatever you want it to be device I think that's kind of the beauty what the tablet can be the biggest reason that I don't use the iPad as a computer is I don't want to adapt what I want to do to the computer I want the computer to adapt to me and to use the iPads of a daily computer I have to change everything that I do to work within the confines of iOS but I no longer have to do that when sort of it can do everything that I want about me having to change what I want to do at that point the iPad can be and probably will be my only computer one of the strangest experiences at the iPad is actually when I let my kids use it you know when I use it I think about what I want to do when they're on it they just kind of do stuff what I'm traveling and like facetiming with my wife my kids will grab her iPhone and may instinctively know how to turn the camera around or how to use an emoji I never showed them like how to do any of that stuff so maybe it served this generation that sir didn't necessarily grow up with an iPad or didn't grow up with iPhones but for the you know the kids now that always had it it seems like second nature and maybe for them but they think of in a computer is very different than like what we think of as so right now I can't give up my macbook for an iPad but if Apple does what I think they should and what I think they know they should do the future of computing very well could be the iPad
