Amaya Toman The new Pad Pro is finally reaching its first owners. Apple really cared about it and introduced many interesting innovations. Not only did he add Face ID or USB-C to the new iPad Pro, for example, but he enriched it with several key aspects. Let's summarize the 16 most interesting of them.
Liquid Retina display
The screen of this year's iPad Pro is updated in several ways. Similar to the iPhone XR, Apple opted for a Liquid Retina display for the new model of its tablet. Unlike previous models, the iPad Pro display has rounded corners, and there has also been a significant reduction in the frames around the screen.
Tap-to-Wake
The new display also includes a useful Tap to Wake function. After Apple replaced the Touch ID function with the more advanced Face ID on its new tablets, just tap anywhere on the display, it will light up, and you can easily and quickly get information about the current time, battery status, notifications and widgets.
Larger display
The 10,5-inch iPad Pro is the same size as the previous XNUMX-inch model, but the diagonal of its display is half an inch larger. Looking at the numbers alone, this may seem like a small increase, but for the user, it will be a noticeable and welcome difference.
Faster 18W charger and 4K monitor support
Instead of the original 12W charger, Apple included a faster, 18W adapter. Thanks to the new USB-C connector, the new iPads can also connect to 4K monitors, which can significantly improve the work of professionals across the spectrum of fields. In addition, different content can be displayed on the external monitor than on the tablet screen. In addition, the USB-C connector allows the iPad Pro to charge other electronic devices.
A completely different tablet
In addition to a better and prettier display, Apple has also improved the overall appearance of the new iPad Pro. This year's model has a completely straight back and sharp edges, making it significantly different from its older siblings.
Smaller body
For the larger, 12,9-inch version of its tablet, Apple has reduced the overall size by a respectable 25%. The device is significantly lighter, thinner, smaller and easier to handle.

Face ID
This year's iPads don't even have traditional Touch ID. Thanks to the removal of the Home Button, Apple managed to make the bezels of this year's iPads significantly thinner. Unlocking the tablet and identification during various transactions is more secure and working on it brings more options.
Selfies in portrait mode
The introduction of Face ID is also associated with a more sophisticated front TrueDepth camera, which, in addition to scanning the face, also enables taking more impressive selfies, including those in Portrait mode. In addition, you can apply a different lighting mode to each photo, as well as adjust the bokeh effect in the background.
Redesigned camera
As we mentioned in the previous paragraph, the front camera of the new iPad Pro has a TrueDepth system. But the rear camera also received an upgrade. Similar to the iPhone XR, the iPad Pro's rear camera has increased pixel depth for better quality images – expert reviewers and users alike are starting to notice the differences between photos taken this year and previous models. The tablet is also capable of shooting 4K videos at 60 fps.
Smart HDR
Another of the many improvements is the Smart HDR function, which can be "smartly" activated when needed. Compared to the previous HDR, it is more sophisticated, the Neural Engine is also new.
USB-C support
Another significant change in this year's iPad Pro is the USB-C port, which replaced the original Lightning. Thanks to this, you can connect a much wider range of accessories to the tablet, from keyboards and cameras to MIDI devices and external displays.

An even better processor
As is customary, Apple has tuned the processor of its new iPad Pro to the maximum. This year's tablets are equipped with a 7nm A12X Bionic processor. In the Geekbench testing of the AppleInsider server, the 12,9-inch model scored 5074 and 16809 points, beating many laptops. The graphics of the tablet have also received an upgrade, which will be especially welcomed by those who will use it for work in the field of illustration, design and the like.
Magnetic back and M12 coprocessor
Underneath the back of the new iPad Pro is a series of magnets. For now, only the new Apple cover called the Smart Keyboard Folio is used here, but soon third-party manufacturers will surely join with their accessories and accessories. Apple also fitted its new iPad with the M12 motion coprocessor, which works better with the accelerometer, gyroscope, barometer, but also with the Siri assistant.
Moving the Smart Connector and supporting Apple Pencil 2
In the new iPad Pro, Apple moved the Smart Connector from the longer, horizontal side to its shorter, lower side, which brings even better options for connecting other accessories. Among the novelties presented by Apple this year is also the second generation Apple Pencil with support for the double-tap gesture or perhaps the possibility of wireless charging directly via the new iPad.
Better connection. In all respects.
Like most new Apple products, the iPad Pro also has Bluetooth 5, expanding bandwidth and speed options. Another novelty is the simultaneous support of Wi-Fi frequencies 2,4GHz and 5GHz. This allows the tablet, among other things, to connect to both frequencies and quickly switch between them. Similar to the iPhone XS and iPhone XS, the new iPad Pro also supports the gigabit LTE network.
Sound and storage
Apple has also significantly improved the sound of its new iPad Pros. The new tablets still have four speakers, but they have been completely redesigned and offer better stereo sound. New microphones have also been added, of which there are five in this year's models: you will find a microphone on the upper edge of the tablet, on its left side and on the rear camera. As for the storage variants, the new iPad Pro has a 1 TB option, while the capacity variants of the previous models ended at 512 GB. Additionally, tablets with 1TB storage offer 6GB of RAM instead of the usual 4GB of RAM.
Faster 18W charger and 4K monitor support
Instead of the original 12W charger, Apple included a faster, 18W adapter. Thanks to the new USB-C connector, the new iPads can also connect to 4K monitors, which can significantly improve the work of professionals across the spectrum of fields. In addition, different content can be displayed on the external monitor than on the tablet screen. In addition, the USB-C connector allows the iPad Pro to charge other electronic devices.

Hmm, this was probably written very hastily, wasn't it? Embarrassment. Next time, get someone to read it before you post it on the web. ? It would do a lot of good.
I'm not going to criticize the whole thing, just maybe what is the pixel depth? Is this a new concept? ?
How will connecting a 4K monitor via USB significantly improve the work of experts across the spectrum of fields?
In my opinion, it is completely useless without a cursor.
But perhaps my imagination is not enough.
(For Steve, pixel depth is the number of bits used to represent a pixel's color. How exactly Apple calculates this with RGB and 4 more sub-pixels in each pixel, I don't know)
I saw and tried that iPad in the Apple store. It looks a bit like a scaled down 13” MacBook Pro but without OSX. What Apple has got right is the pencil. It's smaller, lighter, more angular, so it holds better, and the response is even more accurate. It is really good to write and paint with it. Too bad (read Apple bastards) that it is not compatible with older models.
