the iPad pro is big it's powerful but it also goes against everything Apple initially set out to achieve with the iPad there's some good there's some bad and this is my first day with it so what's up guys Jonathan here and yep that is a big-ass iPad it's almost silly to the point where if you saw this for the first time not knowing it existed you might think it was a joke now what's the big I pad comes a big display this is twelve point nine inches so that's considerably larger than anything we've seen so far in an iPad and for reference the iPad air 2 comes in at nine point seven inches with this there was also a bump in screen resolution so 2732 by 2048 that's not quite 3k but it looks really good now as good as the display looks what presumably puts us into the pro category is the power under the hood not as Apple's a 9 X processor it's clocked at nearly 2.3 gigahertz and that combined with the 4 gigabytes of RAM really dish out the performance benchmarks are cool but that will only tell so much of the story so what I did for fun was import some 4k footage from the dream desk and then export that in iMovie now what was insane is that 30 seconds of 4k footage only took around 38 seconds to export on the iPad pro so by now you might be thinking wow this iPad might actually be pro but right there is where it stops it gets a little confusing obviously there's proven power and potential behind this but after a day with it I really want to call it the iPad almost pro the biggest problem here is the fact that it's running the exact same is that we see on the iPhone and the iPad and there's not really anything that separates itself that makes it really deserving of that pro name now again there are things like multitasking that look better on a bigger screen but it's not anything new that we haven't seen on the iPad air 2 for example it is just simply bigger if it has the power why aren't we seen applications like Final Cut Pro 10 that would actually take advantage of the processing power and granted that may come down the road but as of now it's just a really big iPad with a powerful processor that really isn't utilizing it to its full potential now as much as it works my so I know people are going to do it anyway so for the sheer purpose of this video I went out with a 13-inch iPad and tested out the camera now again with the pro name attached to this I kind of would have expected 4k video recording that's not there it caps out at 1080p and even though I really wouldn't use this for video I was not too impressed I did also test slow motion video and again it's not anything we haven't seen before what I did realize while shooting with this is that forget shooting video on the iPad what would be awesome and actually make this a pro device as if you could use it as a viewfinder with your camera if there was some way to get an HDMI signal out into the iPad this would be an amazing viewfinder so you can see there's kind of an ongoing theme with this iPad pro it has a potential to be great but as of now as is it's kind of missing an identity and doesn't really have a solid place on the market now obviously it's only been a day and I've had to try with Apple's insanely price hundred-hour pencil because for whatever reason they had a ton of iPad pros in the stock but had next to zero pencils so I'm still on the hunt for one of those hopefully enjoy the video if you did and you are feeling like being awesome make sure to go Colonel Sanders on that like button if you guys have any questions or things you want to see covered in the full review definitely drop me a line down below this is Jonathan with TLD and I will catch you guys later
