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

walking by a real piece of furniture

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

base model configuration which is pretty

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

this new magic keyboard folio case so

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
