This processor packs four performance cores and four high-efficiency cores, and there's a new GPU that promises twice the graphics performance as the A10X processor inside the last iPad Pro provided. The 7-nanometer A12X Bionic chip inside the iPad Pro is so fast we almost did a spit take when we tested the CPU in our labs. Unfortunately, the Apple Pencil works with only the new iPad Pros it's not backward-compatible with previous iPad Pros. Jef also liked all the improvements, from the magnetic charging to the double tap, which created a much smoother experience for him. I say this as someone who gets minor hand cramps from the previous Pencil after continuous use." I handed the new iPad Pro to our deputy director of photography, Jef Castro, who also happens to be a great illustrator, and here's what he said: "My favorite update, as simple as it may sound, is the flat edge, which felt much better in my hand and made for a better grip. The new Apple Pencil is now pricier, at $129, but it's a big improvement over the original.
And with a quick tap, you can go straight into the Notes app when the iPad Pro's screen is off. Plus, you can activate various shortcuts with a double tap, such as quickly pulling up the eraser. The new Apple Pencil also feels better in the hand, as there's a flat edge. The Pencil starts charging as soon as it attaches.
For starters, it's a cinch to dock this Pencil with the iPad Pro, thanks to a built-in magnet. In fact, the iPad Pro heard me from several feet away in a conference room when I said, "Hey, Siri," and asked about the weather. The iPad Pro also includes five microphones, which come in handy for FaceTime calls but also Siri queries. Compared to what you get from the Surface Pro 6, the new iPad's sound wasn't just louder and clearer the bass guitar and bottom end overall were just more present on the Apple slate. That's what I said to myself when I listened to Bruno Mars' "Perm" blasting through the iPad Pro's four-speaker audio system. There's also True Tone, which can change the color temperature of the display based on ambient lighting to make reading easier on the eyes. This enables the panel to scale its refresh rate automatically up to 120 Hz, depending on the task. The display on the iPad Pro 12.9 benefits from other technologies as well, such as ProMotion.

This LCD can reproduce 128.4 percent of the sRGB color gamut and registered a Delta-E color-accuracy score of 0.29 (0 is perfect). It looked so good I had to pause the frame when it showed the rich orange flames and oozy pizza cheese up close.Īccording to our lab tests, the iPad Pro averages 484 nits of brightness, which beats scores from both the Surface Pro 6 (408 nits) and Samsung Galaxy Book 2 (350 nits). I streamed Ugly Delicious, a show about food, and this panel made a brick oven look mesmerizing. It would be a total waste of $999 (or more) to use the iPad Pro 12.9 just for bingeing Netflix, but damn does this screen look good.
If you notice this within the first 14 days, you can exchange your iPad under Apple's return policy. Specifically, the bend is a result of the tablet's metal and plastic parts cooling down. If your new iPad Pro looks bent, even though it just came out of the box, you're not crazy or looking at it wrong. Apple admitted that a slight, visible curve is the result of its manufacturing process. Overall, I like the design of the iPad Pro, but I wish Apple had included a kickstand like the Surface Pro 6 and Galaxy Book 2 have. Some users will lament that the headphone jack got zapped as well, but many of us have already moved on to wireless headphones, anyway. The other big (and overdue) design change on the iPad Pro 12.9 is the USB-C port, which enables users to connect the tablet to an external monitor (up to 5K), digital cameras and other devices.
