David Hanak The first reviews of last week's show are starting to appear on the web the new iPad Pro and reviewers more or less agree that while it's (again) a great piece of tech, it doesn't currently offer any mind-blowing features that should make users buy the latest model at all costs.

David Trlica Compared to previous generations, the new iPad Pros differ in particular with a new camera module with a pair of lenses (standard and wide-angle), a LIDAR sensor, an increase in operating memory by 2 GB and a new SoC A12Z. These changes alone aren't big enough to compel owners of older iPad Pros to buy. Moreover, when there is more and more talk that the next generation will arrive in the fall and this one is just a kind of intermediate step (ala iPad 3 and iPad 4).
Most of the reviews so far agree that the novelty does not bring anything fundamentally new. For now, the LIDAR sensor is rather a showpiece and we will have to wait for its proper use. Other news, such as support for external touchpads and mice, will also reach older devices thanks to iPadOS 13.4, so there is no need to look for the latest model in this regard either.
Despite the "negatives" mentioned above, however, the iPad Pro is still a great tablet that has no competition on the market. Future owners will be pleased with the improved camera, slightly better battery life (especially on the larger model), improved internal microphones and still very good stereo speakers. The display has not seen any changes, although there is probably no need to move the bar anywhere in this regard, we will most likely see that only in the fall.

If you're in a situation where you intend to buy an iPad Pro, it probably makes sense to consider the new one in this regard (unless you want to save money by buying last year's model). However, if you already have last year's iPad Pro, updating to the model introduced last week doesn't make much sense. In addition, the Internet is abuzz with debates about whether we will really see a repeat of the situation from the iPad 3 and iPad 4, i.e. roughly half a year life cycle. There are indeed plenty of clues about new models with micro LED displays, and the A12Z processor is certainly not what people expected from the new generation of iPad SoCs.
