The New iPad Pro: A Perfect Blend of Form and Functionality

As I sat watching the keynote presentation for the new iPad Pro, I couldn't help but feel that this was exactly what I had been waiting for. The speaker on my MacBook Pro was sounding good, really freaking good, and I'm so glad Apple is bringing in that similar audio setup over to the smaller iPad Pro. This is a feature that I think many of us have been missing from our iPads.

The new iPad Pro does indeed support Hey Siri, allowing for a more seamless and hands-free experience. However, it also brings back the option to use Okay Google, which might be beneficial for those who prefer Google Assistant over Apple's own virtual assistant. Additionally, there is an option to connect to Xbox One and Alexa, giving users even more flexibility when it comes to their smart home setup.

One of the features that caught my attention was the new smart keyboard designed specifically for the iPad Pro. It's essentially the same design as the one used on the larger iPad Pro, but in a smaller form factor. This makes it perfect for those who want to use their iPad Pro for productivity tasks like blogging, but also need something more portable than an iPad Mini. The addition of Apple Pencil support is also a major plus.

The cameras on the iPad Pro are indeed advanced, with a 12-megapixel sensor that uses True Tone technology to capture images in various lighting conditions. This results in some truly impressive photos and videos, especially when considering the fact that it can shoot in 4K resolution. The eyesight feature is also noteworthy, allowing for professional-grade video recording capabilities.

However, not everyone will need or want the advanced camera features of the iPad Pro. For those who just want to take casual photos or record the occasional video, the front-facing camera with a 5-megapixel sensor might be sufficient. It's worth noting that Apple has emphasized the use of the cameras on larger iPads for professional purposes.

As for pricing, Apple has announced that the new iPad Pro will start at $599 for the 32GB model and go up to $899 for the 256GB version. While these prices may seem steep to some, it's worth considering the fact that this is a premium device designed for professionals and heavy users who require advanced features like the Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil.

Overall, my experience with the new iPad Pro was overwhelmingly positive. I'm excited to get my hands on one and see how it performs in real-world scenarios. The combination of advanced camera capabilities, improved display quality, and productivity-focused design makes this a true powerhouse device that's sure to appeal to a wide range of users.

In terms of availability, the new iPad Pro will be hitting stores on March 31st, which marks next Thursday. This gives Apple just enough time to get the word out and generate buzz around this exciting new device. As someone who's looking to upgrade from my current iPad Mini 4, I'm eager to see how the new iPad Pro compares and whether it's worth making the investment.

One thing that's clear is that the new iPad Pro is designed with professionals in mind. The addition of a brand-new smart keyboard, Apple Pencil support, and advanced camera capabilities make this device more than capable of handling demanding tasks like video editing, content creation, and more. Whether you're a student, entrepreneur, or simply someone who loves using their iPad for various tasks, the new iPad Pro is definitely worth considering.

The eyesight feature, which uses True Tone technology to accurately measure ambient brightness and temperature, is also noteworthy. This results in some truly impressive display quality, with 40% less reflectivity than the iPad Air 2 and 25% greater brightness. These advancements are sure to make a difference in your overall viewing experience.

As I left the keynote presentation, I couldn't help but feel that Apple had delivered exactly what they promised – a device that's both powerful and portable. The new iPad Pro is definitely one to watch, and I'm excited to see how it performs in real-world scenarios.

usability of the iPad Pro and the kind of Market it's intended for creatives like myself people who enjoy being creative people who enjoy being productive and people who enjoy making money with the money that they spend on gadgets and yes that does make sense as I like to say you got to spend money to make money let's talk about the iPad Pro you got some exposure adjustments going there Apple announced a brand new iPad Pro in today's Keynotes you're not seeing this until Tuesday but yeah I mean it's exactly what I wanted out of today's Keynote a smaller version of the current iPad Pro but with actually some surprising spec boosts I didn't expect him to do certain things that they did but anyway let's back up a bit let's go through the list I have my notes right here holy Sun wow it is all over the place clearly there's a lot of clouds outside today it's okay though you guys don't care about that right as long as I present myself the way I want to I actually just realized my other lamp isn't on hold on there you go I guess I should have had that on from my other video all right getting back on track I'm very easily distracted so Apple did indeed announce a 9.7 in iPad Pro the display get this is 40% less reflective than the display on the iPad Air 2 iPad I said that kind of weird 40% less reflective that can actually be very important to creatives like myself I mean for instance when you're using the iPad Pro and the apple pencil on your lap chances are pretty damn good you're going to be tossing turning that device a lot so the less light that you can reflect on your display the better right of course but even better the iPad Pro the new one is 25% brighter than the iPad a 2 and actually it's the brightest tablet available on the market today technically March 31st you know what I mean but seriously 25% brighter and the brightest tablet ever that's not not bad especially if you prefer to use your tablet outside okay so the new iPad Pro uses a true tune display Apple calls it and I apologize if I get any of these facts wrong just go to apple.com you can read everything yourself watch the keynote yourself but this is the note I took true tone display that measures brightness and temperature in environment so apparently this technology uses a variety of sensors to not only measure the brightness of the ambient lights in your environment but the temp temperature as well this might be somewhat similar to The Night Shift mode coming out in iOS 9.3 but from what I could tell during the Keynotes it looks like technology that could help you and keep your eyes from straining less so hey that's a win-win in my eyes now just like the previous iPad Pro the new 9.7 in version does indeed use the four speaker system and let me tell you if you have not heard the iPad Pro speakers in person what are you waiting for get to an Apple Store go to Best Buy or go to a friend's house you need to see an iPad Pro in person and listen to its audio because let me tell you this the speakers for a tablet are downright incredible they're actually better than the speakers on my MacBook Pro what does that tell you seriously they sound good really freaking good and I'm so glad apple is bringing in that similar uh audio setup over to the smaller iPad Pro all right moving on I just love that audio the new iPad Pro does indeed support hey Siri hey Siri Okay Google Xbox One Alexa hello Siri just called me an inbred dickwad don't ask now Apple did introduce a brand new smart keyboard for the new iPad Pro which is basically this but obviously smaller and of course apple pencil support is there and honestly guys that's exactly what I wanted out of today's keynote because I will be keeping my current iPad Pro because one it was a very generous gift at Christmas time for my parentals thank you Mom and Dad I appreciate it and two this larger iPad Pro is more of my productivity device because I'm using the Smart Keyboard I use it for blogging as well as a variety of other things but sometimes I want something a little smaller more on the go but larger than my iPad Mini and something with apple pencil support and well there you go that's exactly what the new iPad Pro is going to do it gives me the things that I love about the larger iPad Pro but in a more realistic and on the- go form factor so thank you Apple that's all I wanted today and you gave me just that now the cameras on the iPad Pro are actually pretty Advanced and the eyesight just happens to be the most advanced iPad camera yet it's 12 megapixels it uses a true tune Flash and it shoots 4K video now some people may think holding up a tablet may look ridiculous when trying to shoot photos or take videos which I can agree to a certain extent but hey who the hell are we to judge it's your iPad if you want to take photos and as long as you're not bothering those around you who cares take photos shoot video knock yourself out but Apple was very important to say this during the Keynotes you can use the cameras on large siiz iPads for a professional purpose purposes so keep that in mind you may not use your iPad the same as other people may use your iPads it's all relative and now for the front-facing camera the FaceTime HD camera is 5 megapixels which isn't bad now let's talk pricing how much is this brand new iPad Pro selling for well you can get the 32 GB for $5.99 which I don't think is too crazy and the 128 GB sells for 7.49 which I don't think is crazy either I mean I'll be selling my iPad Mini 4 I mean I'm hoping to sell that for between $3 and $4 which should cover a good majority of my iPad Pro cost because well that's exactly the model that I'll be going for 128 GB in my eyes that's plenty however if you need more storage 256 GB is now an option and apple I give you props for that 256 GB of storage on our tablet with apple pencil support and the Smart Keyboard this is getting closer and closer to being a true notebook replacement we're not there yet please I said closer I didn't say we're there yet but we're certainly getting closer so anyway that sells for $899 I don't think that's too crazy guys that's not too crazy especially if you're looking to use your iPad Pro for pro purposes I emphasize that because obviously the iPad Pro is not for everybody so just like the iPhone SE it's going to be available on March 31st which is actually I think next Tuesday oh next Thursday so yeah I will be ordering mine that actually gives me a week to sell my current iPad Mini 4 for the new iPad Pro hey why not so guys overall my opinion on the new iPad Pro I'm going to say it again it's exactly what I wanted but more I mean I didn't expect it to shoot 4K video which could be a nice bonus because hey

brighter than the iPad air2 and it uses a true tune display to um accurately measure the ambient brightness and temperature of your environments and I think that's pretty damn cool so guys overall I'm
