Since it is not entirely clear what the tablet will eventually become, Apple's iPad business is making a big profit every quarter. However, iPad has changed for a long time. It's no longer a $500 device, something some call the oversized iPodTouch. Since then, it has evolved into a more complex product line, trying to achieve bigger goals, such as becoming an ultrabook that supports Apple pencils, or even replacing laptops. So is this advanced iOS device worth buying? Let me take a look at the detailed review in three days.
Appearance:
11-inch new iPad Pro adopts a new ergonomic design language. Compared with previous generations, the corners of the metal midframe appear more rounded and will not be cut. Even if the size becomes larger, it will not feel tired when holding it in the hand because it is lighter and thinner.
In terms of details, the new iPad pro still looks like it has a certain sense of separation, which is not very beautiful and elegant. Second, the new iPad Pro is no longer a Lightning port, and is replaced by the standard USBType-C, which means you can now connect various devices to your iPad, such as a camera. However, these devices still need to be optimized for iOS and extended to external storage devices. It is worth noting that the phone also canceled the 3.5mm headphone jack, but from the actual external sound test, it was found that it was much better than the dual speakers of the iPhoneXS, XS MAX or XR.
display:
This year's new iPad Pro cancels the physical fingerprint recognition button. Instead, Face ID face unlocking, which further increases the screen-to-body ratio, which is also a highlight. The new iPad Pro uses an 11-inch IPS LCD display, and the display effect is relatively close to most iPhone , but the 120 Hz touch screen will make a big difference when scrolling or interacting with the iPad, which is obviously more sensitive.
In addition, there is a real tone feature that adjusts the color temperature of the screen in real time to match the surrounding light. This way, the tablet can mix with the environment around you in a more natural way, showing realistic colors, a feature that is very useful on the new iPadpro 2018.
System level: iOS 12 on
iPad is slightly different from iOS 12 on iPhone , but there is only one thing that is the most important "upgrade" in the iPad experience, which is that you can use drag and drop in different locations in the system, or use split screen multitasking.
The latter works by dragging an application from the right or left of an already opened application - you can do real parallel multitasking at the same time, or have a second application appear on top of an already running application, in those cases where you want to finish or check an application quickly and then discard that application.
main hardware level:
Apple launched the A12 bionic processor on three new iPhones, and on the new iPad Pro, it actually uses the more powerful A12X, which can handle notebook-level tasks. For example, it can run a comprehensive Photoshop from next year. With such a powerful program, the usefulness of the iPad will definitely increase sharply. The number of desktop and fully functional games is also increasing.
Apple claims that the A12X Bionic version is faster than most laptops sold between June 2017 and June 2018. Although we can't know how this conclusion came about, we can feel it's really great from the new iPad Pro. In addition to advanced processors, Apple can also load storage capacity up to 1TB, which is quite "terrifying".
stylus:
As usual, you can choose to use only Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi+ cellular modes. The difference is that you can plug the SIM card into the latter and use cellular data . The back of the
iPad also comes with a new three-point connector for connecting certain accessories, such as the new smart Folio keyboard. The keyboard is much more intuitive than previous models.It also has more protection because it covers the back of the tablet, but it's just a bad keyboard, and doing so doesn't fit the purpose of buying it. The problem with it is that most keys work well, but the space bar is a bit hard and requires more force to press down than the other keys. This is quite inconvenient in terms of typing experience.
A clever new feature is the new Apple Pencil, which has a more ergonomic design that can be connected to iPad Pro 11" or 12.9" via magnets. This action also involves wireless Chalin's pencils, which is a more convenient solution than the previous generation, where you have to put old pencils to the tablet
camera and battery life:
The new iPad Pro comes standard with a 12-megapixel rear camera that supports HDR mode. Apple says the rear camera has been optimized for the augmented reality experience and runs well in our tests, the 3D object looks pretty stable, and you can also blur the background adjustment of the photos after imaging.
In terms of battery life, Apple said that various activities (such as web browsing, video or music playback) the new iPad pro can provide 10 hours of battery life. In actual tests, it was found that continuous use can reach 11 hours and 40 minutes, far exceeding the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 that it had used before.
Summary:
At the end of last year, Apple released an advertisement in which a child using iPad Pro answered a question from her neighbor: "What is a computer?" What are you doing on the computer? "This ad seems to have aroused anger to some extent, because Apple dares to suggest that we have lived in the post-PC era that has been talking about since the launch of the first iPad, but it will certainly take a long time to implement it, and it is also very difficult.
Now, iPad is working harder than ever to compete with laptops, launching efficient features such as Apple pencils and keyboard accessories to ensure that it can connect to ecosystem devices and provide excellent system performance. Compared with desktop operating systems such as MacOS or Windows, the new iPad Pro is firmly rooted in the consumer field, even though its name is Pro. Of course, the new iPad, the new iPad The lowest price of Pro11 is 6,499 yuan. If you can accept this price tier, it may be a good choice. Finally, the question is, will you still consider iPad products now?
