WEBVTT

00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:08.880
all right hit me it's the fastest iPad ever it's got

00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:10.920
more RAM than ever before but in all

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

00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:19.400
in toe with whoa hi with Hagrid from

00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:22.199
radical Raptors hanging out with me these guys are super cool they let me

00:00:20.720 --> 00:00:27.000
put the owl in the video freaking awesome and of course Dennis who drove

00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:34.200
over here from the office if this was just another faster iPad no no this is

00:00:31.560 --> 00:00:38.920
so game-changing that I felt compelled to pull again poor Dennis out here to

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

00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:49.399
mobile device industry so without further Ado then let's go do that and uh

00:00:47.480 --> 00:01:00.160
or wait actually here Dylan you can have your bird back

00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:06.880
the be quiet! dark Bass Pro 900s modular design supports a variety of different

00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:11.240
layouts and configurations click on the link in the video description to learn

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

00:01:13.880 --> 00:01:23.880
of product back when Apple released the first iPad I denounced it as as an

00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:26.920
unar device and what I mean by that is

00:01:23.880 --> 00:01:28.520
that if it was smaller then I could put

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

00:01:32.240 --> 00:01:38.159
oh I don't know at the zoo for example

00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:44.040
and I did have a bag well it's not functional enough for me

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

00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:52.600
useless I use my iPad 2 all the time it's just that for the aforementioned

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

00:01:54.719 --> 00:02:00.240
done on an iPad too whether that's watching movies on Netflix when

00:01:58.479 --> 00:02:03.840
somebody's on the TV or whether that's shopping on Amazon or giving to my

00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:08.160
daughter to you know kill some time while daddy takes a nap or whatever the

00:02:05.600 --> 00:02:13.800
case may be like I I have no temptation to be out there taking stabilized 4K

00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:19.200
video because it has the same camera as the iPhone 7 and I think this is

00:02:16.160 --> 00:02:21.519
something that Apple themselves has

00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:27.400
acknowledged not directly but by maintaining this iPad Pro category of

00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:34.120
product and by releasing earlier this year the iPad the the most commodity

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

00:02:37.959 --> 00:02:46.400
doesn't give you that Apple premium feels it's like cost down so that every

00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:51.480
student in the classroom can afford one okay so yeah we get the point the

00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:57.040
category is not particularly exciting so then why get so amped up is it the speed

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

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

00:03:05.959 --> 00:03:11.400
between so many of the services you use

00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:17.760
being cloud-based where the processing can be offloaded from the device and the

00:03:13.920 --> 00:03:20.120
fact that the user interface on a tablet

00:03:17.760 --> 00:03:25.879
is so much more often my bottleneck when I'm trying to do something compared to

00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:30.439
the processing of the device that's not

00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:32.200
what gets my uh motor humming at all

00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:37.200
okay what about the size then the size is different from previous iPad pros at

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

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

00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:55.760
lot more like the bezels on the iPad Mini which which is something new and

00:03:53.040 --> 00:04:00.200
something different sort of because it's different for the iPad but not different

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

00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:11.680
bezeless devices is well underway and

00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:14.360
apple is hardly leading the charge even

00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:18.359
with this kind of screen to bezel ratio but we are getting closer because the

00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:24.520
thing that I'm really excited about is actually the screen and

00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:28.280
no I mean the okay the the the color the

00:04:24.520 --> 00:04:30.960
uh DCI P3 wide color gamut the 600 nits

00:04:28.280 --> 00:04:34.919
Peak brightness and ooh the kappaa okay I am I am going to be a pad

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

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

00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:50.440
of content yet and even what is there isn't especially well mastered no the

00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:54.720
thing I'm excited about is the refresh

00:04:50.440 --> 00:04:57.680
rate this is in a nutshell where my

00:04:54.720 --> 00:05:02.400
admiration for Apple comes from because I've criticized them a lot and I don't

00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:08.240
like everything that they do but what they do have is the courage to try new

00:05:06.320 --> 00:05:14.919
features and when I talk about courage I am not talking about removing the

00:05:10.960 --> 00:05:17.680
headphone jack that to me is kind of a

00:05:14.919 --> 00:05:21.360
um it's almost a way of kind of bullying the market into adopting their standard

00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:27.800
that's not really courage that's like calling Sony's insistence on memory

00:05:24.440 --> 00:05:30.319
stick courage that's just obnoxious uh

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

00:05:33.039 --> 00:05:40.440
50 maybe it's $5 on every iPad Pro they

00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:48.680
sell for a more advanced display controller and an IPS panel that's

00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:51.800
capable of a 120 HZ refresh rate and you

00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:54.440
might say yeah sure you know what's five

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

00:05:57.520 --> 00:06:04.240
sell this product for a nice round

00:06:00.840 --> 00:06:06.639
number MSRP regardless of what specs

00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:10.400
they put in it it'll be you know $8.99 or

00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:14.199
$999 go ahead I've never been able to do that

00:06:12.520 --> 00:06:20.880
before no problem sorry we're back and uh by the

00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:26.720
time they sell 5 million or 10 million

00:06:20.880 --> 00:06:30.360
of them now we're talking $25 million or

00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:33.360
$50 million that's courage spending

00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:35.280
money on something that nobody asked for

00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:40.479
because you think it's a better experience for the end user because

00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:44.639
that's actually in my mind one of the biggest problems with the rest of the

00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:49.080
electronics Industry only being willing to build something with the features

00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:56.400
that your customers are asking for that's how you end up with 20 laptops on

00:06:52.240 --> 00:07:00.919
the Shelf at best py all of which are

00:06:56.400 --> 00:07:03.960
basically the same and while some people

00:07:00.919 --> 00:07:06.199
seem to think that the 120 HZ display is

00:07:03.960 --> 00:07:12.680
about spec padding and about having something that nobody else has it's not

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

00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:22.800
you probably realize so let's start with the one that's most obvious when you

00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:25.759
initially pick up the device it feels

00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:32.120
really fast just the fact that the screen is refreshing sooner after you

00:07:29.520 --> 00:07:36.800
interact with it makes the device feel instantly more responsive and even more

00:07:34.960 --> 00:07:41.039
impressively Apple managed to do this without compromizing one of their

00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:45.400
Hallmarks which is great battery life by using adaptive refresh rate technology

00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:49.800
so the refresh rate of the display will actually go down if it's not displaying

00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:54.120
High refresh rate content or if it is displaying a static image and then it'll

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

00:07:56.120 --> 00:08:03.879
criticize Apple about like oh they didn't invent that no they didn't invent

00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:06.479
adaptive refresh rate Tech but what they

00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:11.800
did do was they implemented in a way that is Meaningful and enhances the user

00:08:09.440 --> 00:08:16.720
experience and gaming is another use case where this makes a ton of sense to

00:08:13.280 --> 00:08:20.240
me it's a way to improve the experience

00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:22.159
of a game on a higher-end device without

00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:26.680
increasing stratification in the App Store so without driving up the

00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:32.839
graphical Fidelity to the point where anything but the 2017 iPad Pro is going

00:08:29.919 --> 00:08:36.839
to be running the game like a slideshow so people who buy the higher-end device

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

00:08:38.479 --> 00:08:45.240
smooth it's going to feel like a really great experience but app developers

00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:50.519
don't have to lock themselves out of being able to access the hordes of

00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:54.399
people that own previous generation devices and honestly that's something

00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:59.600
Apple doesn't really want in the app store anyway they want apps to run on

00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:05.399
all devices that they decide are you know current

00:09:03.160 --> 00:09:10.240
and supported not you app developer you don't get to decide that Apple decides

00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:16.959
that and the last one that a lot of people probably wouldn't consider is uh

00:09:13.560 --> 00:09:18.320
Dennis are you keeping up sorry uh here

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

00:09:19.959 --> 00:09:28.360
consider is Media consumption so the cool thing about 120

00:09:25.680 --> 00:09:39.120
hertz is that whether we're talking 60 FPS content 30 FPS content or

00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:41.399
24 FPS movie content all of it can run

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

00:09:43.680 --> 00:09:52.680
could run on a 120 HZ display without

00:09:48.079 --> 00:09:55.440
any jutter or without any like pull down

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

00:09:57.160 --> 00:10:05.839
frame in order to take non content and run it on a different refresh rate

00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:07.839
display so then back kind of to the

00:10:05.839 --> 00:10:13.760
beginning where I don't care that much about tablets I really don't but what

00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:16.760
I'm excited about is what apple is doing

00:10:13.760 --> 00:10:21.000
to the industry with this product I mean

00:10:16.760 --> 00:10:23.040
to be clear there is no 100% guarantee

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

00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:31.320
going to get a 120 HZ display on the up

00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:37.639
coming iPhone 8 in fact I mean the iPad Pro the last

00:10:34.079 --> 00:10:40.639
generation had USB 3 the iPhone 7 does

00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:44.000
not and the iPhone 7 has a solid state

00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:46.480
home button whereas this new iPad Pro

00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:51.240
does not but I would say now that Apple's made that investment into the

00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:57.480
display controller now that they've got the feature out there and since there's

00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:59.519
no cost in terms of power consumption to

00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:03.800
putting it on a smaller device there is a very good chance that on Apple's

00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:08.519
premium devices we're just going to see this as a feature moving forward and

00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:14.600
this is something that I have wanted for a long time both High refresh rate and

00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:17.959
variable refresh rate are huge

00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:20.399
experience changing Technologies and

00:11:17.959 --> 00:11:27.720
what's great about this is that once Apple does it everybody else wakes up

00:11:23.800 --> 00:11:30.600
and goes oh oh maybe that's important

00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:35.200
and we start seeing it on you know every tablet and every phone and every

00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:41.639
computer and everything starts to feel a little bit faster and a little bit more

00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:44.079
premium so that ultimately is why I care

00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:52.040
about the iPad Pro 2017 because I don't care about the iPad Pro

00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:55.279
2017 I fix it the place to go if you

00:11:52.040 --> 00:11:57.639
need to tear down or repair pretty much

00:11:55.279 --> 00:12:02.839
any electronic device they've got guides for so many popular things I mean we're

00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:07.200
talking the Galaxy S8 the iPhone the Nintendo switch the iMac and they're

00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:12.880

$59.95 so thanks for watching our walk in the park discussion about the iPad

00:13:01.680 --> 00:13:07.199
Pro we had so much fun making the other one out in the rain in Taiwan that I

00:13:05.040 --> 00:13:10.839
figured what the hey we'll do it again also it really was between dragging my

00:13:08.959 --> 00:13:15.959
family to the office and dragging Dennis out here to the zoo with us so we we we

00:13:14.079 --> 00:13:18.480
went with we went with the ladder option if you guys dislike the video you can

00:13:17.199 --> 00:13:23.639
hit the dislike button but if you liked it hit the like button get subscribed maybe consider checking out where to buy

00:13:21.880 --> 00:13:28.079
the iPad Pro we've got an affiliate link down in the video description also down

00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:30.800
there we've got our uh oh I'm not wearing one of our shirts but we've got

00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:34.040
a link to our merch store which where you can buy LT tshirts and we've got a

00:13:32.760 --> 00:13:38.480
link to our community Forum where you can join up and talk Tech now uh I'm

00:13:36.880 --> 00:13:43.519
going to go back to watching this Eagle check out that rabbit down there look at

00:13:40.160 --> 00:13:45.639
