1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,319
hey are you guys ready for another exciting installment in the confusing

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:08,960
saga of what the heck is apple doing with the

3
00:00:07,919 --> 00:00:14,480
ipad great because in this episode apple

4
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:20,000
edges the ipad a little more towards the macbook end of the spectrum with a new

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:22,480
ipad only flavor of mouse and trackpad

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:28,160
support but just wait until you see the new ultra wide camera and lidar sensor

7
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:32,480
that apple also put on the back for some reason yeah

8
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:36,880
if you're confused trust me we are too so let's try to make some sense out of

9
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:40,079
the beautiful mystery that is the 2020 ipad pro

10
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:43,520

14
00:01:00,239 --> 00:01:06,640
in our last video about the ipad pro we said that apple

15
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:10,479
wasn't trying to make the ipad pro more like a computer but rather that they

16
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:15,439
were trying to help the ipad pro be more useful as a computer with ipad os

17
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:20,240
specific features they called the ipad pro a new way to

18
00:01:17,759 --> 00:01:24,799
take notes make music or create a presentation

19
00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:26,880
a worse way for some people like myself

20
00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:31,680
but for better or for worse a distinctly different way from both a computer and a

21
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:36,960
traditional tablet and that's not a bad thing in the

22
00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:42,400
initial release of ipad os last year the ipad got better navigation gestures and

23
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:46,320
some cool features that negated the need for some keyboard shortcuts like

24
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:50,079
pinching your fingers to copy and spreading them to paste those kinds of

25
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:54,880
optimizations made us think that the ipad pro might just be a good option for

26
00:01:53,119 --> 00:01:59,759
people who have to get work done but are less inclined to sit at a desk hunched

27
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:06,000
over a tiny screen so then it's a bit confusing to find ourselves playing with

28
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:09,119
the 2020 ipad pro running ipad os 13.4

29
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:12,000
which now has full-blown mouse and

30
00:02:09,119 --> 00:02:17,440
trackpad support instead of leaning further into the ipad pro's identity as

31
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:23,599
a unique handheld computing device it seems like apple has decided it wants to

32
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,680
make the ipad pro into a bad macbook

33
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:30,160
after all they're even releasing a keyboard folio in may with a built-in

34
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:35,120
trackpad i mean they might as well send out an internal memo that goes microsoft

35
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:40,640
got it right maybe to see where apple's going we have to take a look at where

36
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:43,120
they've come from ipad os pre 13.4

37
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:48,080
already had mouse support but the thing is it was buried in the assistive touch

38
00:02:45,519 --> 00:02:53,040
section of the accessibility options and as we said in our last video it was

39
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:56,959
designed as an accessibility feature to help disabled people who might have

40
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:01,440
trouble operating a touch screen rather than as a way for every ipad user to

41
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:06,480
easily connect a mouse and go ham it was a welcome addition but it was not

42
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:12,159
the type of mouse support that a Windows or a macOS user would be accustomed to

43
00:03:09,519 --> 00:03:17,599
now mouse and trackpad support has been built in as a core part of the os

44
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:21,599
connect one via bluetooth or even a usbc dongle and a small gray pointer

45
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:25,440
immediately pops up and morphs

46
00:03:22,959 --> 00:03:31,360
yes my friends this is not your tired old desktop mouse pointer this is an

47
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:33,440
ipad pro mouse pointer the ipad pointer

48
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:37,200
actually adapts to the shapes of things that it selects which

49
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:40,879
is supposed to make clicking them easier i guess i don't know after using it for

50
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:44,799
a while we really can't see an obvious benefit to this feature but luckily you

51
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:48,879
can just turn it off in the settings or that is you can turn it off in the

52
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:53,200
accessibility settings because some of the pointer options are under mouse and

53
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:58,879
trackpad in the general settings while the rest are under pointer control in

54
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,959
accessibility for reasons that continue

55
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:04,560
to elude me between the two of them though there are most of the options

56
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:09,040
you'd expect like adjusting pointer contrast size and color changing the

57
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:13,280
tracking and scrolling speed and you can even assign functions to other buttons

58
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:17,600
on the mouse although we were not able to get that last one working properly on

59
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:22,079
an mx master 2s so your mileage may vary

60
00:04:19,919 --> 00:04:26,479
it's definitely not perfect but overall the user experience with a mouse is a

61
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:31,040
lot better than in the last version of ipad os where the pointer acted

62
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:35,199
basically like a floating finger now you can right click to bring up

63
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:39,520
context menus and there's support for scroll wheels although frequent hitches

64
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:43,520
and hang ups do make it clear that things have been more optimized for our

65
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:47,280
track pad or the touch surface of apple's magic mouse there are also a

66
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:51,840
number of new gestures that involve dragging the mouse pointer outside of

67
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:55,680
the screen dragging to the right will show or hide slide over apps dragging up

68
00:04:54,160 --> 00:05:00,800
to the top right brings down control center dragging up anywhere else brings

69
00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:02,160
down notification center and there's no

70
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:07,759
gesture for dragging to the left as far as i can tell but get this in an app

71
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:13,120
drag down to bring up the dock drag down further to go home drag down again to

72
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:18,240
enter multitasking at which point you can actually drag down one more time to

73
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:22,639
go home again by this point we were just jazzed to see how deep this rabbit hole

74
00:05:19,919 --> 00:05:26,320
goes but apparently that is in fact the bottom

75
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:31,199
now these gestures were a little bit confusing at first but we think in less

76
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:35,520
than an hour most people are going to find them pretty useful particularly

77
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,560
dragging right to access slide over there are even more gestures that you

78
00:05:37,039 --> 00:05:43,440
can do with multiple fingers on a trackpad to go home and switch apps but

79
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:47,520
we didn't have a trackpad and if i keep talking about most support i'm going to

80
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:51,919
get upset again so we had best move on to the hardware

81
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:55,120
the 2020 ipad pro is not a big upgrade

82
00:05:51,919 --> 00:05:57,600
over the 2018 model in fact it is

83
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:02,240
basically the same tablet while the whole 2020 ipad pro lineup does now come

84
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:09,360
with six gigs of RAM and they all get the a12z bionic processor on paper that

85
00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:12,240
is essentially the same chip as the a12x

86
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:16,479
bionic that is in the 2018 model with a single additional core in the GPU

87
00:06:13,919 --> 00:06:18,880
bringing the total up to eight

88
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:22,319
that was actually confirmed by our geekbench tests where we saw a very

89
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:25,360
slight increase in multi-core performance and

90
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:29,680
a lower score on the compute benchmark

91
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:34,720
you know what we're just going to chalk that up to some lack of optimization in

92
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:39,199
ipad os 13.4 for now the base model of the 2020 ipad pro does

93
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:44,080
come with 128 gigs of storage now instead of 64. that is great to see but

94
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:47,440
the only other major changes to be found on this device are actually in the

95
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:52,720
camera module in addition to the standard 12 megapixel

96
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:57,199
lens we now get a new 10 megapixel ultra wide lens for all of those

97
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:02,240
people who vlog ipads

98
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:07,440
and then next to that really interesting one that's a lidar sensor lidar stands

99
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:12,000
for light detection and ranging and it works by sending out infrared light then

100
00:07:09,919 --> 00:07:16,080
measuring how long it takes for it to hit something and come back

101
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:20,960
this new sensor is supposed to be a boon for augmented reality content although

102
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:26,479
in our tests for the time being it didn't seem to make ar content on the

103
00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:28,639
new ipad pro any more compelling object

104
00:07:26,479 --> 00:07:34,960
occlusion in ikea's ar shopping app was about the same as on the 2018 ipad pro

105
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:37,120
and in the measure app the 2018 ipad pro

106
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:40,960
actually seemed to do consistently better at measuring length the new one

107
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:44,240
was about an inch off some app developers have expressed excitement

108
00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:49,280
about the new sensor though with some early tests showing the effect that it

109
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:51,440
can have on mapping virtual spaces onto

110
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:56,080
physical ones and there are rumors going around that apple will include a lidar

111
00:07:53,599 --> 00:08:00,960
sensor in the next flagship iphone so this new ipad pro might just be serving

112
00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:05,599
as a test bed so that lidar equipped ar is going to be nice and

113
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:09,520
polished up by the fall for now it's a fancy new sensor with not much in the

114
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:13,039
way of software support though all right

115
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:16,800
ipad pro 2020 then maybe we were wrong when we guessed at

116
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:21,759
apple's intentions for the ipad it seemed like they were championing the

117
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:24,319
ipad pro as this groundbreaking new way

118
00:08:21,759 --> 00:08:27,919
for people to do work on the go you know an ipad for pros

119
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:32,240
and now that we've got the next iteration of it it's

120
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:36,959
well it's an ipad with a mouse attached to it

121
00:08:34,399 --> 00:08:41,200
and another camera and a light bounce sensor

122
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:47,120
which is fine it's big it just leaves me questioning who

123
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:49,600
exactly it's for no really though why

124
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:53,600
don't you guys let me know like are you jeff are you the unicorn that apple is

125
00:08:51,519 --> 00:08:59,040
searching for who needs more than an ipad but less than a macbook

126
00:08:56,959 --> 00:09:02,399
what do you do with it

127
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:07,279
you know it's a flipping miracle anyone buys anything from dbrand at this point

128
00:09:04,959 --> 00:09:10,640
i go all the way up the corporate ladder to the top robot i've got one simple

129
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:16,640
request i want an ipad pro

130
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:18,880
with unicorns puking rainbows on each

131
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:23,120
other what do i get i get two unicorns that are puking

132
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:28,000
rainbows i'll give them that but not on each other and two rainbow colored

133
00:09:25,839 --> 00:09:31,760
unicorns and i'm not even sure if this one is a unicorn i'm pretty sure that

134
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:35,600
that horn is photoshopped on there it's disgraceful it's what it is

135
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:39,600
in all seriousness though dbrand is your source for awesome textured vinyl skins

136
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:44,560
they're available for laptops phones tablets consoles controllers and more

137
00:09:42,399 --> 00:09:47,760
they're made from high quality 3m vinyl with a patented adhesive that is

138
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,959
guaranteed to leave no residue on your device if you want to change the skin

139
00:09:49,279 --> 00:09:54,720
out for a different one although i personally would never change this skin

140
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,680
their uncompromising precision and cutting the vinyl ensures a factory fit

141
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:03,440
for your selected device and they not only look great but they even protect your device against incidental scuffs

142
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:06,560
and scratches their customer service robots are easy to work with their

143
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:10,959
products are affordable and they ship worldwide what could go wrong oh right

144
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:14,160
you could get insulted by their customer service well you know what i guess

145
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:18,560
that's just the the risk you gotta take to get a

146
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:23,040
nice you know quality vinyl skin all right it's not a risk you gotta take

147
00:10:21,519 --> 00:10:26,560
if all that sounds good check out the probably insulting link that dbrand put

148
00:10:25,279 --> 00:10:30,079
in the video description where you can buy their head

149
00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:34,399
if you guys enjoyed this video check out our recent video reviewing the uh latest

150
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:38,480
you know what it's more some more apple pro stuff how about the

151
00:10:36,079 --> 00:10:43,120
latest macbook pro we really liked that he actually likes the mac pro as well

152
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:46,120
just expensive but like what were you expecting
