The Apple Pro was the only product Steve Jobs introduced us to bed. And it was a great way to describe it because traditionally, tech presentations rarely slow down this way. The jobs stayed quiet, as anyone would do at home, took the job into their own hands, and started using it.
And from that sofa, he started doing things that used to be somewhere else: a desk. Browse a large web page without being cut, send emails, enjoy a movie on a 10-inch screen, play games, read eBooks. "We think there is a gap between the iPhone and the Mac"- he said looking at the screen -"But it must differ from the most important tasks"
Jobs opened the door for the iPad to content buyers. It was a great way to do that, and it could be done anywhere on the big time screen – with lessons learned on the iPhone and the interface. touch more, taken continuously. I'm pretty sure it was clear to me that it was just the beginning.
The iPad has gone from using whole food content, to creating it
The passage of years has also attracted the creators: interactive communication makes things a lot easier when it comes to managing not just apps (I think you see a kid managing apps naturally) and that screen that started on the sofa became by the great fabric of the creators. That change was so important to the range that Apple thought – finally – to build an operating system with its life cycle: iPadOS was born, and with it, a lot of betting on the future of iPhone.
The iPad Pro was a step that knew that more rapid change – especially in Hardware – was needed for those who not only wanted to create, but wanted to devote themselves to it. Or they take their own hobbies, or maybe because they have the gift of painting, music, writing. That is actually it Last name Pro, for production.
Development needed
The first Pro was a nice dual-mode model: great views of the iPad Air and what was expected of the most powerful version. It was, however, at the launch of the 2018 iPad Pro when Apple was ready: I remember the exact time on Steve Jobs Theater where that Apple Pencil 2 call with power upwards, he started charging. People nearby private applause because that's the way everyone expected it to be.
And that design was the way everyone expected the Pro to be: away from the standard iPads, which included the latest technology such as the face ID or the Liquid Retina display and use the wings of the first model to show the screens are as big as 11 "or 12.9". We now have the same screen, which has a P3 color space, True Tone for measuring the warmth of the room as well as the magnificent ProMotion at 120Hz – which achieves sweat gains and switches to another level – and Improve Apple Pencil Response Time.
We have the same screen, and we're still happy with it: full-view angles, a victim with touch-sensitive display, for example, that I'm not featured on the IA Author screen currently running in Black Mode, description and color depth … It's great to watch movies but and create: from inspired text, 3D programming or agency client drawing – everything on this device is designed to turn it into a tool for creating content, with perfect quality.
As in the late 16's "MacBook Pro – at" model demand "level – maybe you can ask a product for a 4K resolution or display … but why? With a size similar to these devices expanding, a screen with that decision will be the cost of battery, of course, of energy efficiency that can shorten the life and work cycles so that the tasks we really need to do. Also, this screen looks great (Note that the 12.9 ”model has no 2732×2048 pixel resolution
I also want to highlight TrueDepth Camera, Optical sensor bar that handles FaceID but that on a device like this is used for something as good as 1080p video recording with front camera, image mode, Animoji, face detection … Full integration for continuous improvement for example we don't have on any Mac today. In these days of home telecommunications, that's where we find the the various performance and quality of the serviceor so, for example on teleconference.
The size, weight and quality of the screen continue to make this device closer to science fiction.
Great ideas are also kept in the design, which mimics the 2018 version in size, weight and form factor. To order, we will ask for major reductions in the edges, which will come sometime in the future but honestly, now you don't need them anymore. Weight 473g or 643g (11 "or 12.9"), respectively totally sustainable by hand, and sometimes they look like one of those courage Science fiction. In short, the outside is the same way as the previous generation and still is, of course forward before resting.
Cameras: point of view
When we change the new iPad Pro we see the biggest physical change seen in this generation: the addition of two new cameras The wide angle and Ultra-wide-angle, are very similar to those set on the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro, but with a difference. For example, the wide-angle cameras on both devices are 12 Mpx, with the same f / 1.8 aperture, 2x optical zoom up to 5x digital, but the wide angle angle on this IP Pro is 10Mpx. Yes, we win by exchanging ideas it has reached 125 degrees compared to the 120 for the iPhone 11.
The wide-angle images look amazing on the big screen of the iPad Pro, but they don't seem like the most comfortable device to capture: maybe that's why we can't have the iPhone 11's optical stability, or night mode. However, 4K video recording is stored even at 60fps in Ultra wide-angle mode, with slow-moving video at 1080p at 120fps or 240fps (in wide engra mode). Everything continues to improve the past generation, improving at a steady pace until it almost catches a modern iPhone, which is introduced to a device that is not too comfortable for it.
It greatly improves the taking pictures or videos from the device itself when we need it, but it shouldn't be our first priority when we have an iPhone or camera. In this "all-in-one" iPad Pro, taking pictures or videos is well worth the pictures, shots of work or whatever content we need to do here and now without having to leave the device or use any external accessory. But without a doubt, the camera development comes from the hand of the next thing I want to comment on.
Reality fact: LiDAR scanner
One of the best features of this iPad Pro is the installation of the LiDAR scanner, the dictionary of "Laser Detection and Ranging Detection". It is a 3D sensor that measures the reflection of a beam of laser light in nanoseconds, operating in nanoseconds at Photon level. This means that it accelerates at a very high speed, at about the same time, room 5m away from the device.
This complete surprise will be in the following episodes that NASA will send to Mars soon because it is widely used in geography or archeology with its potential map 3D shapes quickly. It is also used in many private cars there accountability is very important. Or more amazingly, at the beginning of this March 2020, the Mayan houses and towers never before seen were found in Yucatan, using this technology. It's a more reliable representation of a point than the use of point scanning, for example, using a face ID as a shorter range (about 1m) against the 5 feet allowed by the Pro Pro sensor.
Why do we want this in our Pro? When will we start to see the apps they use? Well that's the best part. All apps that use ARKit (a programming tool for building practical applications), using a LiDAR scanner. It is an efficient operating system responsible for managing LiDAR and transmitting the actual representation of the application. And yes, it does: Do you know about those augmented reality apps when you have to move the iPad down to see it? Now there is no need to do it: the app opens, LiDAR projects are real in the app and we are already playing Hot Lava in our living room, Minecraft Earth in the middle of the field or watching a dinosaur cross the street.
Or put some IKEA furniture visible in our living room, and see how a real person passes in front of it, and cover it: it's called visual exposure and allows combining artificial intelligence patterns (using the Neural Processor Engine) to distinguish the type of condition (a person for example) to hide an overlayed part of a figure created by an undesired reality.
We haven't seen anything yet: Developers will be able to use this development kit to design the best experience to fine tune the details of the sensor. Soon we will see exciting plans that they will use this technology to capture motion in a straightforward way, using the iPad Pro – a major breakthrough for channel rendering and 3D studios. One can also enhance the photography by capturing camera information and interpreting those objects or images that are closest to the purpose by knowing their three-dimensional representation.
Before you go any further: Many people wonder why Apple has invested so much in this, when we haven't seen all this technology can offer. This is similar when people think about what we need GPS on mobile with the iPhone 3G – and today any app uses it in different ways. Very attractive technology that we will see a lot in WWDC20 with the advent of iPadOS 14.
Enhanced processor: A12Z Bionic chip
The launch of the iPad Pro in March breaks the cycle of the official opening of the iPhone model of the year and then the Apple version of Apple. This time period has been in the mood for generations, so Apple has chosen it upgrade A12X chip locations I really needed this model, and this review works well for it. Let's take a look at the data that Geekbench 5 gives us about the device:
Here we already see some exciting things, like the updated version of the iPad Pro (model 12.9 ”) has 6GB of RAM, and runs at 2.49GHz. The basic difference between this A12Z and A12X is the coral increase, which reaches 8 cores of GPU (graphics processor – probably the most important part of the device). Is that there? we see the distance with previous model:
The The 2020 iPad Pro achieves a Metal Score of 10269 vs 9146 on the 2018 iPad Pro or 6265 on the iPhone 11 Pro Max. That proves it to be so About 40% more powerful in graphics than the current iPhone faster with the A13 Bionic processor. It is especially noticeable in programs or games with high performance, such as ubiquitous Fortnite or image manipulations such as Lightroom or Afterlight.
Without a doubt, all the metaphors in this machine, with this power are combined with 120Hz screen They are amazing: from Apple Arcade games and their drawings as "author", like the applications used before. The one that uses virtual reality infringement is also very fast: some of the most difficult tests with a stylus, such as following curved lines at high speeds on the screen to find the distance between a point and a real pencil, this iPad Pro go a long way. The distance is ignored between the actual point and the true pencil, which perfectly gives the impression that we are drawing on paper.
Better audio capture, and next-generation Wi-Fi
Another development made on the MacBook Air also revealed a few days ago is the introduction of a new, improved, capable microphone. It's also a great update for those who need the right audio capture quality and don't have the accessories for recording: on this Pro we have the first one the top five pipes, is transmitted all the time so that it not only includes sound, but also when recording it.
Another major development Wi-Fi 6 access, a new protocol wireless communication – is already under the new Wi-Fi Alliance name, though it can be called 802.11ax. This level is completely in line with previous standards, and can go up to 1,2 Gbps in the performance of the theory. Progress is not limited to speed, this level also helps connect dozens of devices under the same network improve transmission efficiency and reduce the amount of error in communications. In other words, it is faster and allows it to work better on more crowded device networks. Apple also adds support for 30 different Gigabit LTE bands, and it's included Bluetooth 5.0 to connect the latest devices that they use quickly and safely.
All of these improvements in graphics capabilities, cameras, communications or RAM development they cannot drain the battery: It continues to tolerate the 10 hours of navigation of the product it is being set up for, as well as its achievements due to the software accessibility of the operating system and the power consumption of Apple's "custom" ArM processors. In fact, one of the changes in this model is the direct control energy efficiency
Desktop answer: Cursor comes with iPadOS 13.4
This new iPadOS comes from the factory with IPadOS version 13.4 which includes the official support for the mouse and trackpad that Apple showed us a few days ago. I've always thought that I was using something like this in a mobile app designed to get the ground working with touch – in some ways it seemed "backwards". One thing is the Surface is actually a laptop built for the tablet, but the iPad was from the other side.
Apple nevertheless began to explore the power of delivering a pointer to IPOS, especially in what they themselves always said: the touchscreen MacBook is not free to use. And after all, an iPad with a keyboard is the same format, screen and keyboard in a flat area. I think many of us who for that very reason don't see the help of bringing it lacking that comfort on the desktop that has already begun to become our main "computer". Not as an accurate guide (because at Apple Pro we have something much better, the Apple Pencil), but yes as a quick use without raising your hands from the table.
Getting started with iPadOS 13.4 – which will be available to everyone this week – any iPad compatible with iPadOS 13 You can have this support for any trackpad or mouse connected to a device via Bluetooth. However, I didn't see it clearly until I tried it on IP Pro, and I understood that more than a donate desktop is the sum of what we already have, which is in line with the image that iOS launched in 2007. The cursor here is not the "arrow" to use, though a smaller pointer above that corresponds to the world of touch when we change depending on your situation. However, when you navigate to a specific application control, it becomes that control – like stepping inside it. In the same way that we move the apps to tvOS.
By default it approaches a nearby icon or controller, so it makes mouse movement more comfortable, which is best if we have a trackpad. For example, in this analysis I used Apple Magic Trackpad 2, which adds up again different "combos" of the body most familiar to us from the world of Mac:
- Go to home screen: 3 fingers up
- Launch app options: 3 fingers up and pause
- Switch between apps: swipe with three fingers left or right
- "Right" button (context menu from iOS when we press a finger on any item): double-click
- Show Dock: move the cursor down and press
- Control Center: Click on the status bar in the top right corner
- Notifications: Click on the status bar in the top left corner
Nothing to read. Do you combos we already know and that now at IPOSOS they are making us go faster. The cursor is very useful for storing spreadsheets or scripts like this, where I don't touch the screen at any time and can control everything with the trackpad. We can open the iPad when we press the trackpad and slide three fingers up, Face ID will find us and we'll be inside.
Does this mean we can get to see some MacBook in the future? It's all possible, but maybe this interaction doesn't work the other way: macOS is not designed to work smarter and has more complex controls and finger-pressing elements. If you have used it Sidcar on iPad and using the touchscreen, you'll understand.
This is a small change It's an exciting development when you often work with an iPad on the table, maybe not so much for advertisers or designers who will continue to use the Apple Pencil: you can continue to do so, the inclusion of this option does not limit the other, it is appreciated that Apple knows how to value the views of those who request it, using it in a unique and highly ecological way. This use will be further enhanced by the arrival of the Most Expected Magic Keyboard in May, transforming the 2018 iPad Pro (because they are compatible) and it's all in the production combo – which we'll talk about later.
Spectacular is still a name
This is the 2020 iPad Pro an excellent update to the 2018 model: Faster, with better cameras, never-before-seen virtual reality sensors, more RAM memory, more internal memory (good for 64GB disk, now all models start at 128GB and can reach 1TB), better communication (Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0), five high-end microphones … but also retains all the good ideas of the past: design, weight, 120Hz P3 ProMotion screen, Apple Pencil support 2 and changes such as the arrival of the cursor or magical keyboard.
This is number of symptoms is the equivalent of a consumer tool, but incredibly intelligent and powerful for the needs of most people in need create something new on a different device the one we had at our desk – where opportunities continue to grow from generation to generation and are complemented by new accessories, covered in architectural quality and well-thought-out goals.
It all started in bed, but we don't know where the trip will end. Probably the most exciting part of a device like the iPad Pro: the concept we have right now may be very different from the one we'll be talking about in 10 years. This is the ability to adapt to time again embrace technology that can take it forward, it is also one of the its good features.
