I used to love the iPad but then it got boring each year there was a minor bump in specs but it has basically been the same iPad since 2010 except for screen resolution and performance not only that but phones got bigger so for me and others it wasn't necessary to have a larger touch surface but this year it's different the iPad pro is a true upgrade to previous iPads and I couldn't wait to unbox it so let's check it out I also got the Apple pencil 2 with the iPad pro which is redesigned with a flat edge for better ergonomics plus that flat edge lets you magnetically connect and charge the pencil with the iPad pros edge super cool not only that but that flat edge of the new Apple pencil that you DoubleTap to perform certain actions that developers will be able to utilize right now for example in notes double tapping will switch to the eraser and a writing tool but that's pretty much all it does for now I can't wait for other apps to do something with this functionality like a Microsoft OneNote or the fantastic pigment coloring app which you have to check out if you have an Apple pencil and an iPad I didn't get the keyboard case with the iPad pro because in my opinion the iPad is still very much a consumption device it's great at looking at photos and watching videos reading newspapers and magazines but I don't buy this notion that the iPad can be a replacement for your computer maybe if your grandma it can work but when I want to get true work done and it's probably the same for you I reach for my laptop or my PC my desktop computer the iPad pro is just not that good at productivity but it's great at consumption the iPad pro itself shown here with the 11 inch model because I wanted to use this as a digital notebook and so the more portable size was important to me is physically sharper and more flat than previous iPad I really like this look it feels utilitarian like a notebook or a hard book and it's crazy thin at five point nine millimeters which makes it effortless to hold for comparison one of the thinnest phones ever made is the original moto Z which was five point two millimeters the iPad pro is just a little thicker than that let's talk about connectivity the possibility of a utopian tech future where every battery-powered devices the same connector is now a little bit closer the new iPad pros have USB see which of course means you can use all of your existing USB C cables and power banks to juice up the iPad pro because let's face it you're tired of looking for lightning cables I know I am let's just hope the next iPhone gets us BC to the charger in the Box is rated for 18 watts which charges the iPad pro at a reasonable rate of 0.5% per minute which comes out to 3.3 hours to charge the iPad pro fully without a home button you get the same gesture navigation we see on the iPhone 10 and 10 s while this takes some getting used to by far the best part about this change is the ability to quickly move between apps by swiping the navigation on an iPad it's so fluid to do this gesture when you need to move between two apps and thanks to the a 12 X chip and the 120 Hertz refresh display using the iPad no matter what you're doing is such a fast and fluid experience it's really incredible no home button means that you don't have touch ID but instead face ID which works really well on the iPad pro it works in both landscape and portrait which is a cool trick I got the LTE model because I love how iPads have an e SIM that let you pick whatever carrier you want without needing a plan or a sim you just pick the carrier you want to use at that moment and you're connected and then for storage I got 64 gigabytes because I rely so heavily on the cloud for my media I don't need the extra storage the total price of this iPad came out to 949 dollars which is a lot of money but considering that this is the best tablet in the world by far it's not that crazy and then there are a lot of other niceties on the iPad pro such as really loud speakers with very spacious sound tap to wake like on the new iPhones to make it super easy to turn on the display excellent fantastic palm rejection so that you can hold the iPad in one hand even while touching the screen while swiping between things even though the bezels are smaller another great thing about the new iPad pros is the camera is really good although you shouldn't be one of those people that use your iPad to take pictures you just look really lame so don't do it and also the new iPad pros can do all the augmented stuff if you're into that okay that's going to do it for this quick unboxing and first impressions of the new iPad pro we'll have a full review of it in the coming weeks until then you can follow me on social media at brand the minimun and make sure you give this video a thumbs up if you like what you saw if you have any questions about the new iPad pros I'm gonna hang out in the comments for a little bit so drop your question I'll do my best to answer it thanks for watching and that's it for now
