Actually, you know what? I changed my mind. I'm probably not going to buy this
for your mom unless she is like super
super into running GPU intensive applications on her Apple mobile device
because this is the iPad Pro with M5.
See? And it is largely the same hardware-wise
on the exterior anyway as the previous iPad Pro model, the iPad Pro M4. Once
again, this is the M5. Before I look at the exterior of that iPad, though, and
talk about how it's largely the same as the previous generation, what's in the
box? Let's find out what's in the We got
a cleaning cloth. I don't remember. Is this standard now? It's been actually a
while since I unboxed an iPad Pro. Anyway, uh cuz Lionus has been doing
those. So, that's nice. I can use that instead of my sweater, which I will
absolutely forget to do and use my sweater instead. We got iPad Pro. iPad
Pro. iPad Pro. Do don't forget it's the
iPad Pro. And instructions on how to use that cloth that I just uh so callously
discarded. Oh, don't get it wet. That's the main thing. And also, don't get the
iPad Pro wet because apparently iPads don't have IP ratings uh for water and
dust resistance. So, uh just be careful.
Uh, and then we got warranty and various
like the they make the text so small because they're like don't you don't
have to read this. We got the USBC cable
which is a nice sleeved
sleeved cable that's about 3 and 1/2 ft.
I'll call it maybe four. Someone's watching the video. They're like, is it
three and a half or four? I need to know. And it does come with a 20 W power
adapter. This will not get you the max
fast charging benefits that the new iPad
has, but they're including it even if it is white and [music] not space black
like the iPad. This This annoys me. I don't know why it annoys me. Apple,
you're one of the most valuable companies in the world. Just Just make a
black one. The environment. No. Correct
me if I'm wrong. If anything, black would help absorb more UV radiation so
that it doesn't hit us. That's science.
White reflects light and black absorbs it.
>> But don't we want to reflect the light so it doesn't heat up anything so it
goes back up into the >> No, we don't want to reflect it because then it bounces around in the atmosphere
and warms up the planet. >> But I thought like having a bigger ice
cap is a good thing cuz [music] it reflects so much of the light. >> Is that why? Or maybe it'll reflect it
and send it back into space. But you're using these indoors most of the time.
>> That you know, >> so inside >> that is fair. I really hope this stays
in the video. Okay, that's what's in the box. Let's look at the at the pad
itself. So, as I said, the exterior hardware design of the iPad Pro M5 is
the exact same as the iPad Pro M4. The M4 version got a design upgrade from the
previous gen. This one is just getting the refreshed internals. So, I won't
spend a ton of time going over the exterior. If you're interested, go look
at the iPad Pro M4 video. But briefly, pogo pins on the back for accessories.
12 megapixel camera up here with the LAR sensor and the 12 megapixel TrueDepth
camera on the top side, which is on the long side. In case you haven't checked
in on iPads in a while, the cameras here are now not there. This was [music]
years ago. It's been a while since I unboxed an iPod. On this side, we got
the power button and two speaker grills.
On the opposite side, we have the other two speaker grills. All of those speaker
grills have speakers in them, unlike the iPad Air, which only has two speakers,
yet still has the four grills as a prank. USBC port here, which has some
improvements, although maybe it's not so much the port itself as the what the
device is capable of. On this side, nothing except the antenna band. On this
side, Apple Pencil Pro magnetic charging
dock, volume buttons, and of course, the
display. This is the 13-in model and we got the 1 TBTE version. So, we had the
option of adding the nanoexture glass
display on top of the tandem OLED ultra
retina XDR display. So, [music] no real
changes on the outside. We've got the Apple M5 inside, but that's not actually
the only interesting upgrade that has
been included in this model. So, let's turn it on and check that out after this

don't know if the text is here, but maybe. Are we ready to turn on the most
powerful tablet on the planet? >> Yeah. Yeah.
Who let who let the goblins in again? Okay. Wow. This is actually my first
experience with the new iPad OS [music]
26. Oh, don't look. So, I haven't really
properly experienced the uh the liquid glass phenomenon that everyone was so
upset about for a little bit and now it seems to everyone's just fine with. Oh.
Oh. Oh. See, you can't you see that? It's kind of glassy. Half of you have
iPhones. You're probably like, "Okay, yeah." But it's too bright, isn't it?
[music] Isn't it, Andrew? It's too bright for >> Oh, yes. Of course. A little bit too
bright. Yeah. >> So, I'm going to turn down the uh brightness a little bit for Andrew. Just
a little bit. Does that feel better?
>> Yes, sir. >> Did you know that this could this thing
could go up to a,000 nits uh normally
and then 1,600 nits in peak brightness?
The Yeah, RIGHT NOW HE'S GOING, "WHAT?"
ALTHOUGH THE Labs team noticed something interesting in their in their brightness test. I'll just tell you about it right
up front. When auto brightness is off,
they still noticed that the display would get a little bit brighter under an
overhead light [music] as opposed to in darkness. What's up with that, Apple?
Apparently, this is happening with other devices, too, from other manufacturers.
It's not right. Stop it. Okay, but we didn't come to talk about the brightness
that much. Let's talk about the M5. Okay, this thing has a 9 core CPU on the
256 gig and 512 gig models and a 10 core
CPU on the 1 TB and 2 TB models as well
as a 10 core [music] GPU. Now, that's all the same as the M4. However, what's
different this time around is that there are neural accelerators. Those are new
and they apparently add a lot more AI
performance if you're using local AI
applications on your iPad. I'm sure some of you are because otherwise why do they
put so much power into this thing? The other change on the chipset side is that
the base models 256 and 512 have 12 GB
of RAM instead of 8 GB. Not that you would know going into the iPad OS
settings because they still don't tell you how much RAM is on an iPad. I don't
know why. It's because you're not supposed to worry about that. Okay, that's for Apple to worry about. You
just you just use this beautiful device. You beautiful you beautiful idiot. Don't
worry about it. >> Tim will take care of you and your mom.
For the 1 TB and 2 TB models though, you're getting 16 gigs of RAM, which is
the same as M4. However, it's faster. It's 153 GB per second instead of 120.
The upgrades don't stop. Well, they do stop at the physical hardware. But
another major upgrade you're getting is going from Bluetooth 5.3 to Bluetooth 6
and Wi-Fi 6E to Wi-Fi 7. So, what is
that new internal hardware mean in terms of performance? Well, our Labs team did
their testing magic and we have results.
We get results. So, in Geekbench, the Labs team found an 11% increase over the
M4 in single core and 10% increase in
multi-core. That guy loves multiore. But the M5's
GPU got a 19% boost in 3D Mark Steel
Nomad Light. And in the 3D Mark Wildlife
Extreme Stress test, uh, we got a 13%
average boost over the M4. Although there were better and worse runs. You
know, everyone has different It just felt different on some days. I'm having
a good day. By the way, [laughter] I just wanted to say this is weird for
me to run. I've actually I've never actually played a benchmark. Wow. What
are those? I've never actually played a benchmark like this on an iPad before.
And it's weird because I'm remembering my old PC benchmarking days at NCIX.
[music] And you played a benchmark like this and the all the fans in the in the
building would actually spin up. It was just trying so hard. But this is like
it's just a reminder that the Apple silicon chips in general are just
they're just amazing. I mean, say what you will about Apple, okay? I make fun
of them a lot, but this thing is thin as hell. The previous one was too, but like
it's kind of crazy that we have devices that are this thin. The, you know, the
whole like computing, a single slab of glass that does all your computing. You
could argue we're there. Okay, back to the tablet. Um, now another truly
notable change in the iPad Pro M5 versus the previous gen is the battery. It's
actually the exact same capacity, but it
can both charge faster and last longer. What in Lab's battery
test, uh, this thing lasted an hour and 15 minutes longer than the M4 version.
15 hours and 46 minutes to be exact,
which is a long time to use an [music] iPad. I mean, maybe you're using it
while you're walking around outside. Maybe you're Pokémon Going all over the
place. I'm going to I'm going to Pokémon Go all
over the place. Still a popular game.
And this thing was able to charge its 10,290 milliampour battery in 2 hours
and 7 minutes, which is 20 minutes faster than the M4 version did using the
lab's standard 45 watt charger test. Now, as I said before, this thing comes
with a 20 watt charger in the box. So, you can expect it to take longer to
charge using that adapter. However, if
you're fine with just a 50% charge, Apple says that with their official
amazingly named I need to read I need to look at the title. 40 watt dynamic power
adapter with 60 watts max power adapter.
You could get to 50% in 30 to 35 minutes. And in our test with our 45
watt charger, that's not that it has a less cool name. Uh we still got to 50%
in 37 minutes. So Apple didn't lie a
little bit. Just a little bit. 2 minutes of lie. Okay, let's use the iPad for
what God intended it for and play Crab Rave so we can check out the visuals and
the speakers. Wow, look at that. I I mean, I guess I
can kind of see whether what you can't zoom in the Is it the It's an iOS app
thing. There's still You know, I before
I'll just say this. Apple, just get your head out of your ass. Like, why we can
zoom on on YouTube on Windows and
Android? I mean, maybe that's Google. Maybe that's Google. It could be Google.
Google get your head out of your ass, too. Everyone just get heads [laughter]
out of Asis generally. Okay. Crab.
[music] As is usually the case with uh iPads.
The speakers are great, especially on the iPad Pro, but they're even usually
great on the iPad Air. I, you know, as much as I criticize Apple, there's a fit
and finish on these devices that is just not there on anything else. And thank
you. Thank you for making Crab Rave a transcendent experience every time. Oh,
we didn't test the camera. Whoa. Whoa. As usual, this is always a bit of a
crazy experience. Like, this is this is nausea inducing a little bit. Not for
me. For you. >> Oh, look at this. >> What kind of pick is he taking?
[laughter] >> Selfie. >> That's a photo. I mean, even even the
even the dinky little iPad cameras are taking pretty nice photos these days.
And here's video. You're never going to be taking video like this
>> ever. >> Show up with the most powerful tablet on
the planet to record obnoxious video at
your friend's wedding. Oh, that's cute. What about the selfie camera?
Damn. So, that was a that was a bit of a fake reaction, but it was also real.
Like, I think [snorts] again, Apple, you know how to do it.
It's also maybe just because it's a no, it's a nice camera. So, despite the kind
of deceptively hidden internal hardware upgrade here, uh Apple is keeping the
prices for all of the storage tiers the exact same as the previous generation,
starting at $1,300 for the 256 gig
version and going up to $2300
for the two TB version. And you can add the nano texture glass for another 100
bucks on the 1 TB and 2 TB if you so desire. This is that's a lot of money
for a tablet. But I didn't even talk about, you know, the new windowing
features that they have because they've announced those a while ago. I almost
want to do a whole another video on that cuz this could be a this I feel like
we're at the point where this could be your computer. I just want to try that
out and prove it. I just want to prove it. So, there you have it, guys. The
iPad Pro M5. It is sleek. It is
powerful. It looks the exact same as the previous generation. And if you have an
M4 version of the iPad Pro, please do not. Why? I mean, you can sell it and
buy it if you want to. It's just extra work. The point is, this is the new
flagship of tablets, not just Apple's
tablets. The M5 and Apple Silicon in general. I won't use my sweater. Don't
use a sweater. Continues to impress. And I'll always love Tim Cook for that.
It's the best tablet. I don't know what you want me to say. Subscribe to Short
