12.9-Inch iPad Pro Unboxing & Hands On

Today is the official launch day for the 11 and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models, and we got our hands on one of the new larger versions along with a Smart Keyboard Folio and an Apple Pencil 2, the new accessories that go along with the updated tablet.

Check out our latest YouTube video for an unboxing and feature overview of the new device, which has been radically overhauled compared to the previous-generation model.

The Smart Keyboard is easily the best feeling keyboard I have ever used. Feels good, quiet, and I can type super fast on it.

since you can unlock using face idea with landscape mode -- I wonder if apple will update that for the phones be nice to unlock vertical or horizontal

[bigcheesepuff]

I hope with the new connection that it supports native connection to a mac as a second screen

Sweet video quality and lighting in this one. Does it look better than usual or is it just me?

[perkpetersen]

Dope, perfect video 😊👍. Cheers from Denmark

I read that the extra ram was just for the memory since it’s so much bigger than the others?

[inhaleexhale]

So you literally unboxed it and immediately gave impressions without using it for any extended period of time. Wow. That is not exactly a review. Especially from a site like Macrumors, I would expect better than that.

I really enjoy the thin bezels, I just filmed a vlog with mine and it works great!

[Ervin-]

Decreased bezels? Watch the side bezels get bigger right when you say that they got smaller: 1:33 Only the top and bottom bezels have shrunk in size.

Just open it and see it, admire it. Don’t start talking the things everyone already said, even in the keynote. Look around it and enjoy it

[ashleywinters]

Can you tell us if the face id works with the iPad sitting flat on the table? I'd really hate to have to pick up the iPad and hold it in front of me every time I needed to unlock it. Thanks!

Do you think they’ll make an iPad Mini 5 with the new design style and Apple Pencil 2 support?

[spiddyman]

Open a lot of apps with the 4gb ram one vs the 6gb ram one

[alialmalla]

Does the keyboard and the pencil comes with it?

[jackyarrow]

Dan, with that keyboard case what are the chances of getting scratches of the sides of the iPad? Is there any lip or protection at all to prevent scratches from occurring? Picked up the new 12.9 iPad Pro yesterday but held off on the keyboard or folio case due to the lack of side protection

[jeffkyh]

i noticed that many amercian youtubers hold pencils with their middle finger (in addition to thumb and index) which looks so different. is that really a common thing in US?

[jimjustice]

Is the pencil more responsive or same as the old one?

[lucasj]

I’ve had mine for about three hours and I’ve noticed that the speakers have a very slight crackle when turned about 60% up

[nabukuma]

Did you know it’s magnetic and sticks to a fridge/white board?
