    I don't think Apple needed to make the new iPad even thinner. One millimeter is unnoticeable in terms of portability, but a bigger battery and a headphone jack sure are noticeable.

      If anybody else is interested here is the list of iPads / Air / Mini / Pro's and different inches, with release Dates -
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad#History
      Most current line-up are:
      iPad 7
      iPad Air3
      iPad Mini 5
      iPad Pro3 11"
      "iPad Pro3 13"
      They also had iPad Pro1 9.7" and 10.5" at some point!

    Hardware is spot on, but the software is a big bottleneck! On the bright side the iPad Pro’s biggest problem can be easily fixed with a software update! I’d much rather have software problems than hardware problems

    • @29kalel

      @IamtheKingsman 6 лет назад +1

      Jack,
      The original IPad Pro was an excellent hardware device that was without peer. However, on it's release, end ever since, the hardware has been throttled by lousy implemention caused by IOS. This severely limits the power of the hardware, and continues to plague the new IPad Pro 2018. I would have hoped that Apple would have severely pushed the envelope. This is still largely,a consumption machine rather than, outside of niche markets,a prosumer device.

      I only use it for Touch ID, but I am sad that we cannot disable that bottom bar. The other iPads can use the same gestures with a small slide from the bottom and I find it a lot more pleasant than having something that permanently takes up your screen space.

      darktennisball he’s talking about leaks. But which are very likely to have been leaked by apple themselves, and have been widely reported. IOS 12 was supposed to be the overhaul, but IOS 11 caused so many complaints that apple held back the main changes(multitasking, dark mode, mail app changes, redesign of the look of apps etc) until iOS 13, and decided to focus on performance, since this used to be something iOS users took for granted compared to android users.

      @@TechDove Fair enough. I just wouldn't call it a beast though. To me the comparison to the Xbox One S is false advertisement. So what if it's as powerful? It doesn't mean much if it can't sustain the same workload without throttling. They ought to drop this neurotic fixation with form factor and actually put a serious cooling system in it (something with fans and ventilation). God forbid an iPad be more than half a centimeter thick.

    Benjamin, I would have never guessed that you had any problems with your voice. The audio is that good sir. Also, you're in Kentucky? That's an awesome state.
    This is a great review of the new iPad. I liked all that you had to say about it. The limitations were the most important as that's why I got rid of the old iPad. It just doesn't do as well as a full on MacBook or other Notebook PC.
    I do like the new specs and hardware that you get with this new model. It is definitely an improvement over the older generations. That USB-C port is such a welcome. The potential for this new device with adapters is amazing. The possibilities seem less limited now.
    I'll personally will hold off for a while as to purchasing a computer like this. Like you said Benjamin. Maybe, iOS 13 will open the doors to less limitations with this hardware.

I mean, at the end of the day, it’s still an iOS device...for the full pro experience wouldn’t you want pro software? I have mine for the convenience that a tablet offers...size, portability, ease of iOS...the fact that I can use a great LR app and with photoshop CC coming soon, just make even more worth it.

    • @BlazeingGoldReviews
      @BlazeingGoldReviews 6 лет назад +2

      Jack Yarrow since when do you need a mouse on an iPad? I just don’t think that’s necessary. I’m no apple sheep, but when it comes to the iPad pros, it is a laptop replacement for many. It is a computer for many. Does iOS have limiting factors? Most definitely it does. But mouse and trackpad support isn’t one of them. The iPad was based on touch input. Adding some type of pointer support would be pointless. Have you ever tried using a mouse on an android device? It isn’t the best experience. I run my tech business from my iPad. Now I realize I’m just one person, but I’m sure if others opened their minds to the possibilities, they could too.

    • @jackyarrow9442
      @jackyarrow9442 6 лет назад +1

      Trevor Golding having the ability to use mouse is essential for any pro user who wants to replace their laptop with this iPad, for example if final cut ever came onto the iPad it would be very difficult to use only using touch input because it is less accurate! I wouldn’t necessarily ever have a need for mouse or trackpad support on an iPad but pro users certainly would!

    • @LokiTime
      @LokiTime 6 лет назад

      Jack Yarrow I get your point. But remember when me and Trevor said it’s good enough for most people. Most people won’t use final cut... nor even photoshop. We both understand that it definitely can not replace a workstation laptop for any pros.

      With JB'ing we now get the best of BOTH WORLDS. Aka the industries *Best Hardware* and the Industries most stable and simple *Mobile Software* out with the customization of Android.
      Because of this very thing I will never go to Android, I only care to switch because of customization. Sorry but JB'ing does that so Android and its unoptimized mess can stay far away. I'll stick a stable OS that I can tinker with, instead of both the phone company and myself being able to tinker with it. Aka the company skinning the OS and adding there own bloatware.

      Also the downloadable calculators just feel clunky. They either have grainy looking buttons, ads on the screen, or a layout that just doesn’t belong.
      Apple could easily make a beautiful simple calculator app. If they wanted to really out do themselves they could add functions like voice features where you could say the calculation you need to even say “clear” to start over. Maybe even add some graphing functions or add the ability fot it to be a math reference tool. Maybe I would like to remember the order of operations and just need to ask “show order of operations”.
      I even could see the camera being able to recognize homework types for kids. Not to solve it but to recommend a tutorial based on the math homework. This could be very helpful for algebra, trig, or geometry. What if it could take a photo of a math problem, change the numbers to create a similar problem and withhold the answer for a user to practice with. That would be one heck of a calculator.

    I’ve had the original iPad Pro 12.9 for 4 years or so and to be honest it’s been remarkable. One stop shopping for almost all of my multi Media needs when at home or traveling. All the iOS updates have been seem less upgrades that work nearly flawlessly and are intuitive like all other iOS devices, and I was an early adopter and stood in line to get the original iPhone 2g from att. Compared to windows its a night and day experience. I’m about to jump into this 2018 model and the only reason is because the lte SIM card won’t communicate with the radio of the device. It doesn’t recognize the sim. Tried swapping out to a new sim, disable cellular etc. not sure it’s worth the steep price Apple puts on it but it’s beyond anything I could ever dream of in a device.

      Louis Rossmann's channel). In fact, it is precisely because people bought the new iPad Pro knowing full well the limitations of iOS 12 that Apple will likely try to get away with it again next year (with such a premium product, and even marketed as a PC substitute, it is seriously inexcusable that it did not launch with a beefed-up OS). It could be years before we get an iOS with full desktop capability, which, by then, Apple will have likely dropped support for the 2018 model.

      @@alchemy-the-animated-series Apple has consigned itself to being a mere luxury brand these days. Even John Sculley said it in an interview. The iPad Pro looks like a blast to use, but it's ultimately more like a fancy sports car than something that is of everyday practical and professional usage. It doesn't deserve the "Pro" label at all. Sure, some people can make it work for their professional needs, but most of everyone coming from a Mac or Windows PC will find it lacking.
      I own a Surface Pro and while it certainly doesn't deliver the tablet experience of iPads and Android tablets, you do get a full desktop OS so you can actually get stuff done with it.

    Great coverage, Jeff... I hope the SD card and external drive reader situation is resolved in an iOS12 update rather than iOS13. The latter is almost a year away from coming and doesn't make sense to limit potential buyers when the device is for sale now. Conversely, if we are to wait for iOS13 to fix these problems, does that mean iOS, the platform, isn't ready for USB-C for anything beside charging and certain supported peripherals? Side note, I am super excited and cannot wait to see iOS apps work on macOS. That should bridge the gap between on-the-go experiences from the iPhone and iPad with desktop-grade use cases, instead of having to do a little on the former and finish the work on the latter.

    • @HomelessG

      makasete30 this is false. No amount of "ram management" will help with loading and editing large files. For $2k anything less than 16gb is laughable for a machine poised to run Photoshop and edit 4K video. I suspect when the real convergence of IOS and MAC happens (in a few years), we will see better specs. But for now, it’s really disappointing when you also consider the lack of connectivity, lack of a real file system, lack of mouse support, etc. It’s a shame since I believe Apple could provide all of those features TODAY but intentionally handicaps these devices.

It’s just that I am starting to feel a little regretful. I somehow feel that I should’ve just kept my old iPad Pro. It’s slightly smaller, lighter, and slightly better looking, but it does not justify the cost that I had to pay. And now I just realized that I have to buy a usb c to usb adaptor so I can connect it to my old iMac so I can connect to iTunes and restore from my backup.

      lassi lahtiluoma There are plenty of people who do that. With Lightroom, Affinity here and Photoshop coming soon, there are a lot of creative pros using iPads for work. Just because you don’t doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. A few years ago is history in the tech world.

    Adding the ability to manage external drives using the iOS files app would be a huge step in the right direction.

    I use an iPad 3 which stopped upgrading at iOS 9, but I never use the headphone jack in preference to Bluetooth headphones. Much more convenient. So I get that Apple has dropped the headphone jack. It's in the past. Remember the first iMac had no floppy drive? What a crisis! And I get that I have to use various cloud-sourcing apps to import files. It protects the iPad's security 'sandbox'. Notwithstanding media files are very big, what then is the problem? It's not a laptop, it's an iPad.

    Pretty soon, Microsoft will take their Surface Pro and rub it on Apple’s face.

      I had a surface Pro and hated it, personally. But I think if they improved it dramatically it could be great.
