WEBVTT 00:00:00.313 --> 00:00:03.320 - Oh Apple, always trying to convince people 00:00:03.320 --> 00:00:07.460 that iPads are computers, and no one listened, so then you got frustrated 00:00:07.460 --> 00:00:10.870 and finally put a desktop computer chip into an iPad. 00:00:10.870 --> 00:00:14.360 That's right. The iPad pro for 2021. 00:00:14.360 --> 00:00:18.040 Sorry, you want to see that Andy? I can't do this too much. 00:00:18.040 --> 00:00:22.400 The 2021 iPad pro has an M1 chip inside, 00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:26.250 processor, system on a chip, CPU and a GPU and memory. 00:00:26.250 --> 00:00:30.240 It's the same thing that's in the last year's 00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:35.630 Macbook Pro and Macbook Air, as well as the Macbook Mini and now the iMac as well. 00:00:35.630 --> 00:00:39.360 They're just sticking this M1 wherever it'll take. 00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:43.103 They're just throwing it at the wall and being like, that's a computer now. 00:00:43.103 --> 00:00:47.640 Like the iPads we've had in previous years were very impressive in the features 00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:52.690 that Apple added to them, both in terms of iPad OS and in terms of the physical changes 00:00:52.690 --> 00:00:56.780 they made to the iPad. So I'm actually pretty interested to do this 00:00:56.780 --> 00:01:01.730 unboxing today, even though the iPad is supposed to look very much similar to the previous iPads. 00:01:01.730 --> 00:01:06.230 There's a lot of changes here. So let's check it out. 00:01:06.230 --> 00:01:10.080 Please. As usual, this was sent to us by Dbrand. 00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:13.980 You know that I'm expecting a horrible shock when I open the box. 00:01:13.980 --> 00:01:20.110 Will it be unicorns? Will it be transformers fighting in a- 00:01:20.110 --> 00:01:23.330 anyways, let's find out. Ready? We'll find out together. 00:01:23.330 --> 00:01:26.733 Three, two, one. Oh. 00:01:28.440 --> 00:01:31.640 How do I make this dramatic? I'm not even looking. 00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:34.340 My fingers are going to leave a bunch of fingerprints. 00:01:37.180 --> 00:01:41.790 Whoa, that's crazy. 00:01:41.790 --> 00:01:45.663 - [Jono] That's prism. - I don't know what it is. Is that what it's called, Prism? 00:01:45.663 --> 00:01:51.520 - [Andy] That's the Damascus Skin. - Oh Damascus, like Damascus steel? 00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:54.520 Shimmer, shimmer, shimmer, shimmy yo, shimmy hey. 00:01:54.520 --> 00:01:58.910 Dbrand, every hour, every day. I can't rhyme. 00:01:58.910 --> 00:02:02.390 Nope. Okay, well that's the unboxing guys. 00:02:02.390 --> 00:02:05.930 Thanks for watching. Go to dbrand.com/shortlinus. 00:02:05.930 --> 00:02:10.420 Really, short Linus? Go check them out, get a Dbrand skin. 00:02:10.420 --> 00:02:15.180 We've got the same camera, square rounded corners module thing there, 00:02:15.180 --> 00:02:18.230 and I think that the back cameras are the exact same. 00:02:18.230 --> 00:02:22.690 There's like a regular field of view one and then an ultra wide and the LIDAR sensor that was there 00:02:22.690 --> 00:02:28.100 in the previous two models, I believe. But on the front we got a new ultra wide camera. 00:02:28.100 --> 00:02:31.670 Do you know about that Jono? It's got a 122 degree field of view, 00:02:31.670 --> 00:02:36.290 also 12 megapixels, but that uses Center Stage, 00:02:36.290 --> 00:02:40.880 and you can move around in the iPads, like I see you. You can't get away, Apple knows. 00:02:40.880 --> 00:02:44.040 What happens on the iPad stays in the iPad, because we took it. 00:02:44.040 --> 00:02:47.980 Wow, that screen is so bright Because they're like, oh, we use the same 00:02:47.980 --> 00:02:51.940 Mini LED technology that we had on the Pro XDR display, 00:02:51.940 --> 00:02:55.720 and we miniaturized it and put it in the iPad. That's their whole deal. 00:02:55.720 --> 00:02:59.610 So apparently this gets up to 1600 nits peak brightness. 00:02:59.610 --> 00:03:02.708 What country are we in again? They don't have North Korea. 00:03:02.708 --> 00:03:05.066 Why not? Whoa. 00:03:10.670 --> 00:03:14.970 Just to kind of give some context here, so this is the 12.9 inch model. 00:03:14.970 --> 00:03:19.390 It starts at $1099 with the M1 chip desktop class, 00:03:19.390 --> 00:03:24.610 sort of, it started with laptops. The smaller 11 inch model starts at $799, 00:03:24.610 --> 00:03:28.930 which you know, it's an iPad. So when you think about it as just a tablet, 00:03:28.930 --> 00:03:32.720 that's kind of expensive, but if you think about it as like, okay, it's a computer, 00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:35.453 like Apple wants you to think, maybe not that bad. 00:03:37.010 --> 00:03:41.770 Siri, oh what's in the box. What's in the box. That's what you guys do in ShortCircuit? 00:03:41.770 --> 00:03:42.870 It's a charger, USB-C. 00:03:48.730 --> 00:03:52.720 Actually, it's not just USB-C, it's Thunderbolt people. 00:03:52.720 --> 00:03:57.230 The 2020 iPad Pro has Thunderbolt 3. This one has Thunderbolt 4, 00:03:57.230 --> 00:04:00.440 which means we're allowed up to 40 gigabits. 00:04:00.440 --> 00:04:06.240 That M1 chip I've been talking about sporadically throughout this video, is supposed to perform 50% faster 00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:12.890 than the previous chip in the 2020 iPad Pro which was the Apple A12Z or Zed for Canadians, 00:04:12.890 --> 00:04:17.720 and 40% better GPU performance. Although I've taken a look around at some 00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:22.720 of the reviews that are out there so far, some people get a large difference in performance 00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:27.550 and other people are like, yeah, it's rendering this video like 30 seconds faster than the old one, 00:04:27.550 --> 00:04:33.970 and why is it so bright? Why is there so many nits? Because there's 10,000 Mini LEDs in here, 00:04:33.970 --> 00:04:37.360 with over 2,500 local dimming zones. 00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:41.490 I want to see that right away, before we get any further. Can I ask Siri to do it? 00:04:41.490 --> 00:04:46.500 How do you get Siri? - [Siri] Hi, I'm Siri. Hi, I'm Siri. 00:04:46.500 --> 00:04:49.620 - I like the old one. Hey Siri, turn on dark mode. 00:04:49.620 --> 00:04:53.660 - [Siri] Okay, dark mode is now on. - I actually did not expect that to work 00:04:53.660 --> 00:04:58.920 because I have not used Siri in a long time, and the last time I used Siri, she was kind of useless. 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:04.930 Wait, but now it's dark. So now I can. So some people were saying there's a blooming issue 00:05:04.930 --> 00:05:09.360 with this screen, which is one of the things that the Mini LED display 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:14.560 is supposed to prevent specifically, because Mini LEDs with all of these like tiny individual 00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:18.440 LEDs and their local dimming zones, it's supposed to prevent white stuff 00:05:18.440 --> 00:05:24.823 on a black background from having this like blooming effect, but I'm not noticing it here or am I? 00:05:29.350 --> 00:05:32.580 This is funny because this is not something I would do with a regular screen, you know, 00:05:32.580 --> 00:05:37.160 but because Apple has all these bold claims like, oh a Mini LED, its perfect contrast. 00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:41.680 1 million to 1 contrast ratio. In the vast majority of cases, 00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:47.630 you're not going to see any sort of blooming effect, but you know people pick apart these Apple devices. 00:05:47.630 --> 00:05:49.253 Hey Siri, take a screenshot. 00:05:50.940 --> 00:05:55.880 Can we turn the lights off? Oh, maybe I do see it now. I feel like I see a little bit of blooming. 00:05:55.880 --> 00:05:58.863 Yeah, who knows and importantly who cares? 00:06:00.254 --> 00:06:03.270 Let's move on to, ah, jeez Louise. 00:06:03.270 --> 00:06:06.870 Okay. One of the other cool things about this year's iPad 00:06:06.870 --> 00:06:13.690 is the fact that unlike previous models, Apple is actually telling you how much RAM 00:06:13.690 --> 00:06:18.690 is in it, which again, signals them trying to tell pros 00:06:19.080 --> 00:06:22.223 of various sorts that this is something they could use. 00:06:23.140 --> 00:06:26.880 It's a computer. - What's a computer? - What's a computer. 00:06:26.880 --> 00:06:30.780 The other thing about that memory thing is that there's more memory. 00:06:30.780 --> 00:06:34.550 There's 8 gigs and 16 gigs, which makes iOS's already 00:06:34.550 --> 00:06:38.370 stellar memory management even better. I feel like I'm talking a lot 00:06:38.370 --> 00:06:41.450 about the iPad and not using it. Wait, do I have to go into, 00:06:41.450 --> 00:06:44.453 I probably have to go to FaceTime to use Center Stage. 00:06:45.660 --> 00:06:46.993 No you idiot. 00:06:50.980 --> 00:06:55.680 I feel like I should not take photos just to discourage people from using the iPad as a camera. 00:06:55.680 --> 00:07:01.090 Hi guys. On the front, we have the same two cameras. 00:07:01.090 --> 00:07:04.690 So this is the wider view, but we can also switch to the back 00:07:04.690 --> 00:07:08.660 and now we can do the same thing. Oh, I can't get you all. 00:07:08.660 --> 00:07:11.923 It's hard to get you all in there this way, but what if I, 00:07:13.960 --> 00:07:17.270 I mean, that's nice though. If they should have an ultra wide camera on anything, 00:07:17.270 --> 00:07:21.613 it should definitely be with an iPad, because this is like a big unwieldy square. 00:07:25.060 --> 00:07:28.660 Selfie with the rear camera because I'm so crazy. 00:07:28.660 --> 00:07:31.890 What do I do now? The reason that this ultra wide camera 00:07:31.890 --> 00:07:37.436 is necessary and cool is because when you go to FaceTime it will be able to kind of do this Facebook Portal 00:07:37.436 --> 00:07:41.560 sort of thing, where it doesn't use this wide shot, 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:45.110 it zooms in on one area, and then it'll kind of like follow you around 00:07:45.110 --> 00:07:49.340 as you're moving around the scene. Yeah, so Center Stage in FaceTime, 00:07:49.340 --> 00:07:52.530 I think will let you use that but I'm not using FaceTime 00:07:52.530 --> 00:07:56.053 because I'm not signed into an account, because this is ShortCircuit. It's supposed to be short, 00:07:56.053 --> 00:08:00.540 and I'm taking way too long Jono, I'm so sorry. This is something you can do in previous iPad Pros. 00:08:00.540 --> 00:08:05.320 Makes it a little bit more like a desktop where you have kind of have icons closer together 00:08:05.320 --> 00:08:09.690 and then you can have customizable widgets on this side. Oh, I'm a professional. 00:08:09.690 --> 00:08:13.600 I have an iPad pro. So I'm checking stocks. I'm riding the style of the house. 00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:17.840 How's crypto these days? But yeah, you can you can have your 00:08:17.840 --> 00:08:20.910 desktop widgets and stuff. This is going to be the question for me. 00:08:20.910 --> 00:08:24.940 Every time I've done an iPad video, it's the question of can this be a computer? 00:08:24.940 --> 00:08:29.730 To remind us of that, let's see if it fits in the old magic keyboard. 00:08:29.730 --> 00:08:33.530 The thing that will play into whether it can be your main computer is whether they change 00:08:33.530 --> 00:08:36.960 iPad OS enough to make the people who are skeptical 00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:40.520 about this, happy. The file manager they've improved a ton, 00:08:40.520 --> 00:08:45.380 the overall interface, it has mouse and keyboard support, but there are some people are still not happy 00:08:45.380 --> 00:08:48.530 with the way that like Files is implemented. You can connect to servers 00:08:48.530 --> 00:08:54.640 but like often the servers will disconnect, and that's annoying to me personally, big server lover. 00:08:54.640 --> 00:09:00.200 On the plus side, there was some talk when they first announced this that it wouldn't fit with the older Magic Keyboard model 00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:03.890 that's meant for the 2020 version, but I mean, as you can see 00:09:03.890 --> 00:09:06.763 it goes in there and it closes. 00:09:08.530 --> 00:09:10.963 I don't understand what's different about it. 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.360 I feel like that's more sturdy. Look, it goes on there Jono, aren't you impressed? 00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:25.200 That's definitely a computer. No comment, wow. 00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:29.290 Battery is supposed to be around the same, from what I hear, 10 hours I think. 00:09:29.290 --> 00:09:33.390 I mean, the speakers are the same, I believe. So this is the real test of a 00:09:33.390 --> 00:09:38.230 XDR Retina Display Mini LED screen 00:09:38.230 --> 00:09:44.355 Crab Rave. Rave, rave, rave, rave, rave, rave. 00:09:44.355 --> 00:09:48.410 (upbeat music) I think this is about the same thing we said last time 00:09:48.410 --> 00:09:52.450 where we're like it's a tablet, but the speakers are really good for a tablet at least. 00:09:52.450 --> 00:09:56.340 I don't know about other things as comparison points, but it's pretty good for a tablet. 00:09:56.340 --> 00:10:01.050 As usual, you know, we hear about this having this like really 00:10:01.050 --> 00:10:05.760 amazing new display and it definitely looks nice I mean, at first glance, 00:10:05.760 --> 00:10:09.190 but the question is once you compare it to the previous iPad models 00:10:09.190 --> 00:10:12.820 and to other things that have apparently really nice displays, 00:10:12.820 --> 00:10:18.110 which I will do in the LTT review, you wouldn't be not subscribed to Linus Tech Tips 00:10:18.110 --> 00:10:23.010 if you're watching this video.
