iPad Pro (2020) review: beyond the trackpad

Dieter Bohn reviews Apple’s new iPad Pro tablets for 2020. There are minor updates this year, with a new wide-angle camera, support for a trackpad, and LiDAR for augmented reality. There’s more than enough hardware power for nearly anybody here, but is there a reason to upgrade?

I already watched MKBHD and IJustin reviews BUT I couldn't help not watching yours because I LOVE your way of reviewing anythings, keep it up
thank you.

[anuraganurag]

Thank you for pointing out the front camera placement issue. Finally someone spoke about it.

[Juiccy_]

In conclusion: get the 2018 version for even cheaper price now.

I think it should’ve came with a telephoto on the back
the most frequent case i see is people using the ipad to take photos in classrooms and in big conferences
how would the wide angle camera be useful on an ipad?? wouldn’t u use ur phone to take photos of the scenery or in a small room when u
most need a wide angle

[parsiabolouki]

That LiDAR sensor could be there to give developers enough time to make apps that take advantage of it for when the next flagship iPhone launches. It also gives Apple enough time to fix the bugs before the iPhone launch

i’m going to skip this one. I’m perfectly happy with my 2018 iPad Pro, especially when there is not much difference with the new one.

Man, quarantine really hit Dieter hard. Look at all of those empty wine bottles in the background 😜

[kiwinacho]

wait, trackpad support means that there's also mouse support right...? Or am I not getting something right...

[Fome]

I think you should stop saying things like “the increased cpu and gpu performance don’t matter.” Statements like this encourage manufacturer’s to become complacent. The iPad is good because Apple has continued pushing it’s performance boundaries every year, and we don’t want that to stop. Making fun of the spec bumps like it doesn’t matter is counterproductive.

The 2018 iPad pro scored benchmark CPU part just as the same as that in the 2020 version. The only upgrade would be the GPU =.=

I love the new camera upgrade. I am a volleyball coach and alot of coaches, scouts, parents and some scouting software use the iPad to record game footage or even stream it. For those purposes it's a good upgrade. The AR idk, maybe it's just future proofing

The only thing you can learn from this video is that the video editor edited it in a house with extremely huge speakers.

[melgross]

My iPad will arrive today, and I’m already bouncing around while waiting (I’m 70, so I should be over that, but I’m not). I ordered the Brydge a month ago. The original price for the 12.9 was the same as Apple is charging—$349. But since the announcement, it’s dropped way down to $229. I’ll get Apple’s too, and see how they compare.

[youbetterwatchout]

That is a good point about the camera not being active when you switch to another app - if Apple wants this to be a productive machine, there needs to be a change to that. Or give us the option to leave the camera on while switching to other apps.

Verge, Mkbhd etc : hey send over the new keyboard case for review

Apple : Check back later for availability in May 🤣

[bbenjers]

Good review. I think it’s emblematic of how many devices how peaked & newer models are now evolutionary rather than revolutionary

[Poozie]

You mentioned doing a video without your team or editor before and I can’t tell the difference in production quality. Keep killing it!

[TheGadgetGod]

Still waiting for a weather and calculator app for iPads

[clarenceloieprima]

5:00 - use multitasking so the camera remains on. Also, use picture in picture mode, if you really need to switch to another app.
