Apple launched their new 12.9 inch iPad Pro last week, and they also introduced a new 11 inch model. We have already seen a number of videos showcasing these new iPads.
Now, we get to have a look at the 12.9 inch model in more detail in a new review video from Engadget. This video provides an in-depth look at its design and some of its features.
Enhanced Performance and Features
The new iPad Pro comes with a slightly upgraded processor over the previous model, specifically the A12Z Bionic chip. This chip is designed to handle more intensive tasks and provide a smoother user experience. The A12Z Bionic chip includes an 8-core GPU, which significantly enhances graphics performance, making it ideal for gaming, video editing, and augmented reality applications.
Additionally, the iPad Pro features a new Magic Keyboard with a trackpad, which transforms the tablet into a more versatile device, bridging the gap between a laptop and a tablet. This keyboard is backlit and includes a scissor mechanism with 1mm travel for a comfortable typing experience. The trackpad supports multi-touch gestures, making navigation more intuitive.
Advanced Camera System
On the back of the tablet, there are dual cameras and a LiDAR scanner. The two cameras include one 12 megapixel wide-angle camera and a 10 megapixel ultra-wide camera. The wide-angle camera is perfect for capturing detailed photos and videos, while the ultra-wide camera allows for a broader field of view, making it ideal for landscape photography and group shots.
The LiDAR scanner is a significant addition to the iPad Pro. LiDAR stands for Light Detection and Ranging, and it measures the distance to surrounding objects up to 5 meters away. This technology enhances augmented reality (AR) experiences by providing more accurate depth perception and object placement. For instance, AR apps can now place virtual objects more realistically within a physical space, making the iPad Pro a powerful tool for developers and creative professionals.
Pricing and Availability
Prices for the new iPad Pro start at $799 for the 11 inch model and $999 for the 12.9 inch model. These prices reflect the base models with Wi-Fi only and 128GB of storage. However, the iPad Pro can be configured with up to 1TB of storage and cellular connectivity, which increases the price accordingly.
The iPad Pro is available in two colors: Silver and Space Gray. Accessories such as the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil are sold separately, with the Magic Keyboard priced at $299 for the 11 inch model and $349 for the 12.9 inch model. The second-generation Apple Pencil, which magnetically attaches to the side of the iPad Pro for charging and storage, is priced at $129.
The new 12.9 inch iPad Pro offers a range of enhancements over its predecessor, including a more powerful processor, advanced camera system, and innovative accessories like the Magic Keyboard. These features make it a versatile device suitable for both professional and personal use.
