iPad Pro 2018 hands-on: Apple’s new all-screen tablet

2018-10-30
everybody's seen out with the Virg I'm here with Apple's new iPad pro this is a twelve point nine inch iPad pro it's the larger one but it's smaller than the old twelve point nine inch iPad pro this one was actually about the size of a sheet of paper this thing is really thin it's five point nine millimeters it's got a camera bump that's a 12 megapixel camera right there you can see it's got these LTE lines which are not beautiful but there they are and the smart connector has been redesigned that actually instead of at the bottom it's on the side now so when you plug it in so the new keyboard case goes there bang it out and apps in the keyboard case smart connector on this side so you notice there's no home button here it's the same gesture controls as the iPhone 10 10 s 10 R so I can open an app here that's great swipe around swipe up to go home ice so I've been told get the app switcher I can pick this photo of baek again swipe from the bottom and go to another app real fast that stuff is all super cool I can also grab Mayo put it over here and get the little pop-up overview of mail I can go home now that I've got that you can slide mail over you the actual side-by-side view then I can swipe between apps here she's here those Becca is that then I can go back myspace has been maintained so very familiar multitasking setup to previous iPads but now you can do it a little bit faster with the gesture support and no home button Apple has totally reengineer the screen it's providing a liquid Retina screen it's the same idea as the iPhone 10 R it's got pixel mask rounded corners there's also face ID right here this is the face ID system this is technically the top of the iPad the face idea will work in landscape they actually say it'll work any way that you pulled it which is super cool and you've got USB C on the bottom which is super exciting an important note this is not Thunderbolt 3 like Apple does it's laptops this is USB see Apple says it's USB 3.1 gen2 so it supports 10 gigabit transfers and it's optimized for file transfer and DisplayPort so you can run a 5k monitor off of this and you can plug in a camera we've got a camera over here and turn on I took a picture of Becca earlier I'm just gonna plug it in and you can see just like the old SD card adapter for the iPad it's going to pop right into photos open photos and I can grab this photo I took it Becca hit import then I'm importing it right off of that Sony camera over there so keep it and I can go into photos there's a girl that nailed it there's still no file system here when you plug in a hard drive it's not going to do anything you plug in a printer Apple said we'll find out what happens together control you have finished our smaller class prepara if you're looking at cameras you're looking at monitors those are big deals for the iPad it has not been able to support all of those things in the past we're gonna plug in a lot more stuff every app can add its own support from peripherals over USB C so we'll plug in a lot of stuff and see what works but after all purrs are gonna have to do a lot of the work here yep ad pro the 12.9 here starts at $9.99 for 64 gigs of storage there's a smaller 11 inch version it's the same physical size as the old 10.5 with a bigger display that smaller one starts at $7.99 there's 64 gigs inside you've got an a 12 X Bionic processor the X line is Apple's beefed-up version of the a12 in the iPhone 10 s and 10 are Apple says these are faster than 90 percent portable computers ship today they really really want you to think about this in comparison to a PC and not other tablets that's why they've got us PC that's why they're pushing its performance specs that's why they had Adobe on stage to show up Photoshop actually have a video Photoshop and app that you should check out and that's why I hear when I'm talking to them they're showing me lighter in CC on the iPad Apple also has a new Apple pencil which is honestly way nicer than the old pencil it's kind of a matte finish it's a little bit smaller it's flat on one edge which makes it easier to hold it charges magnetically there's none of that old lightning port stuff going on so I just click it in you can see it drops a blue pencil 97% that's super cool if I'm on the lockscreen here I can just tap on it I guess it opens two notes again right away hello that's super cool bye double tap on the pencil it'll switch to the eraser it's gone I can double tap switch back to the pencil and I'm writing again that's super cool it's something people wanted for a long time and then I closed it up it's still locked it's still ready to go I can put the pencil back on top of it it's charging again and this isn't programmed to my face so I'm going to grab my friend Steven over here and we're just going to have him unlock it so he's looking at it swipe up a lot face idea works like a charm this is fast as a 10 SNR so that is the iPad pro $7.99 for the 11 inch 64 gig version $9.99 for this 12 point 9 inch version and she's for 4 gigs it looks pretty cool we got to get one we gotta plug all kinds of stuff into it we got to see what USB see honest thing can really do and I personally am gonna have to get over the lack of that wrench so there's a true depth sensor here so it also supports an emoji of course I like to be this fox what's really interesting is Apple had to recalibrate the system so you're not looking at it off access because the camera is over here not at the top in landscape that's pretty neat
