OMG:2020 ipad review(AMAZING )
this is Lisa from mobile tech review and
this is the 20/20 iPad pro particularly
this one right here I'm holding is the
11 inch as ever it's available in the 11
inch and the 12 point 9 inch sizes so
for the 11 inch this is the
second-generation for the 12 point 9
inch it's the 4th generation of the
prompt we're gonna look at it now so
first as you probably know already
there's not a huge upgrade here from the
previous generation the good part is
it's not gonna make you want to spend
money right when you already have the
previous generation but the other hand
we all like to see progress especially
because it's been about 500 days since
Apple last refresh the proline models
what is new here you get twice the base
storage so that's always nice and this
thing that Apple usually does over time
is they move from generation to
generation so so 64 gigs the base model
is 128 gigs and you can get it with 256
or 512 or a terabyte of storage doesn't
matter which of the sizes you're going
for here also ram now 6 gigs for both
models instead of 4 gigs for the
previous generation this does mean
experientially and I've tested it
compared to the previous generation less
reloading of Safari tabs that sort of
thing that's always nice apples always
kind of skimpy on the ramp you can say
there is optimized for ram and it is but
still it was clear that it can be used a
little more especially for a power user
device I get so called pro I pad model
you know the Apple a 12 Z Bionic instead
of the a 12 X and oz that means in this
case same CPU they've just enabled a GPU
core here that was disabled on the a 12
X so you get a little bit better
graphics performance but clearly there's
no reason upgrade here and I can't tell
you why we don't have an a 13 like we
have in the current model iPhones
lastly the distinctive camera cluster
there that looks like the iPhone 11 pro
or pro max it's got two cameras not
three like the iPhones there's no
telephoto but they did add a wide angle
instead of just having a main camera and
that's a 10 megapixel and honestly the
cameras on this are pretty darn good I
mean you you don't expect much from
tablets but these take pretty nice
pictures in fact you can see a picture
of our cat taking in mediocre indoor
lighting both with the iPhone 11 Pro Max
and with the iPad pro 11 2020 model and
it's a pretty solid standing showing
there for the iPad 11 but you know it's
not gonna beat the iPhone 11 Pro max
obviously or pro but hey for a tablet it
beats the pants off of everybody else
Apple says that the recording quality is
better it does sound a little better
I
mean studio-quality not really so much
but it's better it has three microphones
this is nice by the way for the cameras
if there's no portrait mode no Knight
mode for the rear cameras there is a
portrait mode for the front camera it's
not bad actually you can see the selfie
that I took in conjunction with those
cameras there's now lidar which is
something we see on some robotic vacuums
and on self-driving cars like Tesla's
that sort of thing so what it does is it
measures the room and depth and where
objects are to create a model so that's
for a our augmented reality if whether
you're using the IKEA furniture placing
functionality are playing an AR game
it's noticeably better so before if you
waved your hand in front of the camera
and weird things would happen if
somebody walked across unnatural things
we'd have furniture floating in the air
so if you place a virtual chair using
the IKEA app for example it stays
grounded on the floor when people walk
by it actually looks like they're
is this gonna change your world no Apple
seems excited about this maybe they're
gonna do some other augmented reality
products and this won't complement that
or go along with that
Oh Wi-Fi is also upgraded to Wi-Fi sakes
from well why five five not a lot of
people have Wi-Fi six access points
there are plenty for sale at this point
but it's future proof and that's nice if
you go with the LTE plus Wi-Fi miles
then the just Wi-Fi model well then
you're still looking at gigabit 4G LTE
probably not until Apple has an a 14
Bionic chip only see integrated five glt
available when will that happen when
will they next refresh the iPad pros or
will they make that a higher T or model
still I kind of hope not iPad pros are
expensive and not you know I don't know
pricing is the same as it's been before
starting at $7.99 for the 11 inch and
$9.99 for the 12 point 9 inch
add more money if you want 4G LTE thrown
in there and more money as you go up in
storage increments again 128 gigs is the
reasonable given the amount of cloud
storage many of us do but if you are
actually using one these
video editing and believe me with lumen
fusion are with the included iMovie
you're sure could actually do this in
fact that's an interesting thing about
the performance here yes the the CPU
bump isn't that mantra even the GPU bump
but these things are wickedly powerful
actually if you can tolerate the
workflow on an iPad which mostly I find
the challenges getting files on and off
of the iPad but this is faster to export
edit and export 4k video then even the
20/20 MacBook Air and that's kind of
insane if you look at the benchmark
grass we're in Geekbench 4 in King's
Bench 5 I think more people are still
familiar with Geekbench 4 numbers you
look at that multi-core score and you're
like wow this actually can be on an HP
Spectre x-360 13-inch with an intel 10th
gen cpu so Apple you know they say hey
this can be your new laptop sort of and
if you want a touch experience with an
Apple product well this is your only
choice right how true is that it's
getting to be more true yes they do have
a file manager now it's somewhat less
painful to move files around we do have
cloud services to make that easier but
they have their new magic keyboard
coming May 25th why it takes so long I
don't know but anyway this one adds a
trackpad iOS 13 point for that just came
out with these new iPads as support so
actually you can use trackpads with
other iPad models anyone that's
upgradable to this version of the
operating system but for the pro models
for the 11 in this 1.9 inch they have
yes it's a case protects the front and
the back it has a magic keyboard which
means the one inch travel scissor key
kind of nice normal keyboard likes on
the 16 inch MacBook Pro the 2020 MacBook
Air are the desktop keyboard that you
can use with IMAX or anything that you
want so it's a better typing experience
than the fabric case which is still
available at 179 to 199 depending on the
size so anyway this new keyboard
experience given the trackpad and the
clever ways that Apple has made it work
it's not just a carbon copy clone of the
way it works on Mac OS for example it's
a little bit more object oriented in
gesture or either it works really well
makes it more usable organ ah mclee
speaking and workflow wise as a laptop
replacement selecting text becomes easy
you don't need your finger or even the
Apple pencil to
which these are compatible with so
that's cool the only uncool thing as
ever with Apple is pricing so for the 11
inch that magic keyboard is $300 for the
12 point 9 inch it's three hundred and
fifty dollars a three hundred dollar
keyboard accessory for $7.99 tablet
that's like 40% almost you know more
spend as I write like I said the Apple
pencil 2 works with these as well that's
$129 and it's as ever uh glorious
experiences right up there with Wacom
EMR and Cintiq s-- and the much more
expensive mobile studio pro portable
tablet windows computers for pen
experience I mean the pressure levels
that tilt the sensitivity it's on those
who watch my videos know that I do do a
lot of digital art that's my hobby and
my pastime and I love using the iPad
pros for that and that's one case where
you could say these iPad products could
actually maybe save you a little money
versus something like a Wacom mobile
studio pro or a PC and the Cintiq to get
that level of excellent pan experience
which is better than even Microsoft
Surface pro much as I loved surface pros
or an HP Spectre x-360 also and I say
that we're talking about the price of
software too so if you're using Windows
or Mac and you want to use Photoshop and
such you were looking at an Adobe CC
subscription which ain't cheap Cheetos
and other programs which typically are
more expensive for desktop operating
systems whereas procreate which is
superb is $9.99 hmm and there's
Photoshop for the iPad 2 it's not nearly
as good as Photoshop on the desktop if
you expect all the future features but
it's pretty good for a photo editing and
all that sort of things so there's a lot
you can do here not everything you can
do on the desktop which gets into the
every year should you get this or a
MacBook Air or Windows tablet like the
surface pro and all that sort of thing
and I would say if you know you need
those desktop applications specifically
on their functionality if you're an
artist and you're professional artist
working with workflows required by say
Disney or something like that and you
absolutely have to have full Photoshop
and so on well then you might want to
stick with the desktop operating system
obviously for me I mean obviously we're
not going to spend our weeks
professionally editing videos to upload
to you
on an iPad you can do it but the
workflows are still easier on desktop so
it depends but if you're just doing Word
if you're streaming video if you're
editing video more casually if you're
editing photos it's actually kind of fun
to do it on an iPad especially if you're
using an Apple pencil or your finger to
do some of the adjustments and the
touch-ups on it as to which size you
should choose this canoodle comes up
every time Apple refreshes the iPads
I've been using a twelve point nine inch
iPad lucky me iPad from and I do that
because I do do art and the bigger the
canvas the better I have a love and hate
relationship though with it because it's
really big it's really awkward this is
why most Windows tablets are actually a
little on the smaller side I want to
turn it around to show somebody
something not to be so careful and not
knock anything over or drop it you know
you get the idea but if you want to use
it as a laptop replacement a twelve
point nine inch makes sense if you're
pretty into art the twelve point nine
inch makes sense for everybody else
I think the 11 inch is a real sweet spot
for portability easy to hold lighter you
get the idea
one pound versus one point four pounds
to display on this by the way is the
same liquid Retina display 120 Hertz
refresh rate wide P three color gamut
yes it is nicer than the cheaper iPad
models if you have the money it sure is
nice to have those things it's not any
different than the previous generation
though so there's nothing to upgrade to
here I'd 600 nits a brightness that's up
a little bit from I think 500 nits in
the previous generation so it's tablets
go it's pretty darn bright battery life
pretty much unchanged here 10 hours for
the Wi-Fi only model they told him in 9
hours for the LTE model and as ever if
anything Apple underestimates this and
the battery capacity is you can see them
on screen for the two models you can 18
watt USB see based charger it's very
compact and a 1 meter or a 3 foot long
USBC cable so that's kind of work for a
pro model you've got to be close to an L
that are spend some money to get a
longer cable everything else is the same
you have USB C which means it's
interesting you can actually use the
same USB C adapt as you would buy for
your MacBook Pro MacBook Air at this
point so if you need USB C to an SD card
reader USB see the USB a you can get
adapters to that Apple
or another brand even though many USBC
hubs work so it is becoming more like a
computer in that respect we still have
squared off sides we still have aluminum
casing available and silver are spaced
Greg you get the idea physically it's
the same so there you have it if you had
the previous generation probably not so
much unless you're looking to do a size
change some people want to go bigger
some people want to go smaller you get
the idea but if you're looking to
upgrade from an older iPad that's where
it starts to make sense if you have the
original generation iPad pros if you
have a lower end older heir or something
like that and you want to take the next
step up to faster more storage better
screen all those sorts of things then
you're going to get that here so then it
makes a lot more sense and I can
understand that for those of you who are
on a tighter budget you want Apple
pencil support you want to laminated
display cuz that looks a little nicer
and retina nominally maybe not as wide
gamut maybe not high refresh but there's
still the iPad air from 2019 so that one
is a ten point five inch display
supports the original Apple pencil and
the OS it does support track that even
though Apple hasn't shown any magic
keyboard case yet for that one so for
five hundred bucks it's pretty
compelling if you would like to have all
these extra bells and whistles but you
can't quite make that stretch I'm Lisa
