1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:08,880
all right hit me it's the fastest iPad ever it's got

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:10,920
more RAM than ever before but in all

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:17,680
seriousness we all know that I wouldn't be here at the zoo with my poor family

4
00:00:13,839 --> 00:00:19,400
in toe with whoa hi with Hagrid from

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:22,199
radical Raptors hanging out with me these guys are super cool they let me

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:27,000
put the owl in the video freaking awesome and of course Dennis who drove

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:34,200
over here from the office if this was just another faster iPad no no this is

8
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:38,920
so game-changing that I felt compelled to pull again poor Dennis out here to

9
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:44,000
the zoo to go for a walk with me and talk about how it is going to change the

10
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:49,399
mobile device industry so without further Ado then let's go do that and uh

11
00:00:47,480 --> 00:01:00,160
or wait actually here Dylan you can have your bird back

12
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:06,880
the be quiet! dark Bass Pro 900s modular design supports a variety of different

13
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:11,240
layouts and configurations click on the link in the video description to learn

14
00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:15,600
more it's not really a secret that I've never been a huge fan of this category

15
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:23,880
of product back when Apple released the first iPad I denounced it as as an

16
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:26,920
unar device and what I mean by that is

17
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,520
that if it was smaller then I could put

18
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:35,799
it in my pocket and I wouldn't have to carry a day pack and if I was you know

19
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:38,159
oh I don't know at the zoo for example

20
00:01:35,799 --> 00:01:44,040
and I did have a bag well it's not functional enough for me

21
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:48,280
to not just bring a laptop I mean to be clear I'm not calling the category

22
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:52,600
useless I use my iPad 2 all the time it's just that for the aforementioned

23
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:56,799
reasons I don't go out with it and everything that I do on it can still be

24
00:01:54,719 --> 00:02:00,240
done on an iPad too whether that's watching movies on Netflix when

25
00:01:58,479 --> 00:02:03,840
somebody's on the TV or whether that's shopping on Amazon or giving to my

26
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:08,160
daughter to you know kill some time while daddy takes a nap or whatever the

27
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:13,800
case may be like I I have no temptation to be out there taking stabilized 4K

28
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:19,200
video because it has the same camera as the iPhone 7 and I think this is

29
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:21,519
something that Apple themselves has

30
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:27,400
acknowledged not directly but by maintaining this iPad Pro category of

31
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:34,120
product and by releasing earlier this year the iPad the the most commodity

32
00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:40,599
product that I think we've seen from Apple in quite some time like it's it

33
00:02:37,959 --> 00:02:46,400
doesn't give you that Apple premium feels it's like cost down so that every

34
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:51,480
student in the classroom can afford one okay so yeah we get the point the

35
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:57,040
category is not particularly exciting so then why get so amped up is it the speed

36
00:02:54,879 --> 00:03:02,239
uh compared to the last iPad uh CPU is what 30% faster GPU is 40% faster it's

37
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:09,400
it's got 4 gigs of RAM uh more than ever before on an iOS device no with a tablet

38
00:03:05,959 --> 00:03:11,400
between so many of the services you use

39
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:17,760
being cloud-based where the processing can be offloaded from the device and the

40
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:20,120
fact that the user interface on a tablet

41
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:25,879
is so much more often my bottleneck when I'm trying to do something compared to

42
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:30,439
the processing of the device that's not

43
00:03:25,879 --> 00:03:32,200
what gets my uh motor humming at all

44
00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:37,200
okay what about the size then the size is different from previous iPad pros at

45
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:44,799
10 1 12 in it's kind of in between uh 9.7 and 13 or whatever it was um but

46
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:50,959
even there I'm going to go with no so yes the bezels on a large iPad are now a

47
00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:55,760
lot more like the bezels on the iPad Mini which which is something new and

48
00:03:53,040 --> 00:04:00,200
something different sort of because it's different for the iPad but not different

49
00:03:57,799 --> 00:04:08,360
from the rest of the industry I mean the the race to you know Infinity edges and

50
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:11,680
bezeless devices is well underway and

51
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:14,360
apple is hardly leading the charge even

52
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:18,359
with this kind of screen to bezel ratio but we are getting closer because the

53
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:24,520
thing that I'm really excited about is actually the screen and

54
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:28,280
no I mean the okay the the the color the

55
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:30,960
uh DCI P3 wide color gamut the 600 nits

56
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:34,919
Peak brightness and ooh the kappaa okay I am I am going to be a pad

57
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:39,720
hole and I'm going to take a picture of the kappaa look at that it's like a

58
00:04:36,919 --> 00:04:43,960
great big tailess rat I'm not that excited about HDR cuz there's not a ton

59
00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:50,440
of content yet and even what is there isn't especially well mastered no the

60
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:54,720
thing I'm excited about is the refresh

61
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:57,680
rate this is in a nutshell where my

62
00:04:54,720 --> 00:05:02,400
admiration for Apple comes from because I've criticized them a lot and I don't

63
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:08,240
like everything that they do but what they do have is the courage to try new

64
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:14,919
features and when I talk about courage I am not talking about removing the

65
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:17,680
headphone jack that to me is kind of a

66
00:05:14,919 --> 00:05:21,360
um it's almost a way of kind of bullying the market into adopting their standard

67
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:27,800
that's not really courage that's like calling Sony's insistence on memory

68
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:30,319
stick courage that's just obnoxious uh

69
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:37,720
I'm talking about the courage spend an extra I don't know how much maybe it's

70
00:05:33,039 --> 00:05:40,440
50 maybe it's $5 on every iPad Pro they

71
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:48,680
sell for a more advanced display controller and an IPS panel that's

72
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:51,800
capable of a 120 HZ refresh rate and you

73
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:54,440
might say yeah sure you know what's five

74
00:05:51,800 --> 00:06:00,840
bucks let's say it's five bucks the answer is a lot because Apple's going to

75
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:04,240
sell this product for a nice round

76
00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:06,639
number MSRP regardless of what specs

77
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:10,400
they put in it it'll be you know $8.99 or

78
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:14,199
$999 go ahead I've never been able to do that

79
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:20,880
before no problem sorry we're back and uh by the

80
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:26,720
time they sell 5 million or 10 million

81
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:30,360
of them now we're talking $25 million or

82
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:33,360
$50 million that's courage spending

83
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:35,280
money on something that nobody asked for

84
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:40,479
because you think it's a better experience for the end user because

85
00:06:37,759 --> 00:06:44,639
that's actually in my mind one of the biggest problems with the rest of the

86
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:49,080
electronics Industry only being willing to build something with the features

87
00:06:46,759 --> 00:06:56,400
that your customers are asking for that's how you end up with 20 laptops on

88
00:06:52,240 --> 00:07:00,919
the Shelf at best py all of which are

89
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:03,960
basically the same and while some people

90
00:07:00,919 --> 00:07:06,199
seem to think that the 120 HZ display is

91
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:12,680
about spec padding and about having something that nobody else has it's not

92
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:18,120
it matters a lot more than you probably think and for a lot more use cases than

93
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:22,800
you probably realize so let's start with the one that's most obvious when you

94
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:25,759
initially pick up the device it feels

95
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:32,120
really fast just the fact that the screen is refreshing sooner after you

96
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:36,800
interact with it makes the device feel instantly more responsive and even more

97
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:41,039
impressively Apple managed to do this without compromizing one of their

98
00:07:38,319 --> 00:07:45,400
Hallmarks which is great battery life by using adaptive refresh rate technology

99
00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:49,800
so the refresh rate of the display will actually go down if it's not displaying

100
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:54,120
High refresh rate content or if it is displaying a static image and then it'll

101
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:58,159
go up when you interact with it and this is one of the things that people love to

102
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:03,879
criticize Apple about like oh they didn't invent that no they didn't invent

103
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:06,479
adaptive refresh rate Tech but what they

104
00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:11,800
did do was they implemented in a way that is Meaningful and enhances the user

105
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:16,720
experience and gaming is another use case where this makes a ton of sense to

106
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:20,240
me it's a way to improve the experience

107
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:22,159
of a game on a higher-end device without

108
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:26,680
increasing stratification in the App Store so without driving up the

109
00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:32,839
graphical Fidelity to the point where anything but the 2017 iPad Pro is going

110
00:08:29,919 --> 00:08:36,839
to be running the game like a slideshow so people who buy the higher-end device

111
00:08:34,599 --> 00:08:40,039
are going to run the game at 120 frames per second it's going to be butter

112
00:08:38,479 --> 00:08:45,240
smooth it's going to feel like a really great experience but app developers

113
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:50,519
don't have to lock themselves out of being able to access the hordes of

114
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:54,399
people that own previous generation devices and honestly that's something

115
00:08:52,519 --> 00:08:59,600
Apple doesn't really want in the app store anyway they want apps to run on

116
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:05,399
all devices that they decide are you know current

117
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:10,240
and supported not you app developer you don't get to decide that Apple decides

118
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:16,959
that and the last one that a lot of people probably wouldn't consider is uh

119
00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:18,320
Dennis are you keeping up sorry uh here

120
00:09:16,959 --> 00:09:22,160
we're going to go this way the last one that a lot of people probably wouldn't

121
00:09:19,959 --> 00:09:28,360
consider is Media consumption so the cool thing about 120

122
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:39,120
hertz is that whether we're talking 60 FPS content 30 FPS content or

123
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:41,399
24 FPS movie content all of it can run

124
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:48,079
even if this wasn't an Adaptive refresh rate display which it is but all of it

125
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:52,680
could run on a 120 HZ display without

126
00:09:48,079 --> 00:09:55,440
any jutter or without any like pull down

127
00:09:52,680 --> 00:10:00,079
or or any kind of like the Tom Foolery that they do where they'll duplicate a

128
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:05,839
frame in order to take non content and run it on a different refresh rate

129
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:07,839
display so then back kind of to the

130
00:10:05,839 --> 00:10:13,760
beginning where I don't care that much about tablets I really don't but what

131
00:10:10,279 --> 00:10:16,760
I'm excited about is what apple is doing

132
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:21,000
to the industry with this product I mean

133
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:23,040
to be clear there is no 100% guarantee

134
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:29,399
that just because we got a 120 HZ display on the 2017 iPad Pro that we're

135
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:31,320
going to get a 120 HZ display on the up

136
00:10:29,399 --> 00:10:37,639
coming iPhone 8 in fact I mean the iPad Pro the last

137
00:10:34,079 --> 00:10:40,639
generation had USB 3 the iPhone 7 does

138
00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:44,000
not and the iPhone 7 has a solid state

139
00:10:40,639 --> 00:10:46,480
home button whereas this new iPad Pro

140
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:51,240
does not but I would say now that Apple's made that investment into the

141
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:57,480
display controller now that they've got the feature out there and since there's

142
00:10:54,399 --> 00:10:59,519
no cost in terms of power consumption to

143
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:03,800
putting it on a smaller device there is a very good chance that on Apple's

144
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:08,519
premium devices we're just going to see this as a feature moving forward and

145
00:11:05,639 --> 00:11:14,600
this is something that I have wanted for a long time both High refresh rate and

146
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:17,959
variable refresh rate are huge

147
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:20,399
experience changing Technologies and

148
00:11:17,959 --> 00:11:27,720
what's great about this is that once Apple does it everybody else wakes up

149
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:30,600
and goes oh oh maybe that's important

150
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:35,200
and we start seeing it on you know every tablet and every phone and every

151
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:41,639
computer and everything starts to feel a little bit faster and a little bit more

152
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:44,079
premium so that ultimately is why I care

153
00:11:41,639 --> 00:11:52,040
about the iPad Pro 2017 because I don't care about the iPad Pro

154
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:55,279
2017 I fix it the place to go if you

155
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:57,639
need to tear down or repair pretty much

156
00:11:55,279 --> 00:12:02,839
any electronic device they've got guides for so many popular things I mean we're

157
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:07,200
talking the Galaxy S8 the iPhone the Nintendo switch the iMac and they're

158
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:12,880
also leading the charge in the electronic repair tools industry with

159
00:12:09,560 --> 00:12:15,800
their iconic black and blue prot te tool

160
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:20,880
kit don't let the Sleek design fool you it's got both Beauty and brwn with high

161
00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:27,040
quality steel bits and tools tough enough to handle any repair or mod that

162
00:12:23,519 --> 00:12:29,959
