1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,160
um

2
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:34,800
hey this is still just an ipad yup

3
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:39,120
turns out ipad os still does not make the ipad pro a laptop

4
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:45,280
replacement but there is some good news because what

5
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:48,320
it does do is make it both a better ipad

6
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,960
and a better computer

7
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:54,879
so let's talk about what we mean by that and what it's like to use it

8
00:00:53,199 --> 00:00:59,600
speaking of using i'll use this opportunity to tell you about our

9
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:01,920
sponsor origin pc customize an origin pc

10
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:06,250
desktop with an NVIDIA GeForce rtx graphics card at the link in the video

11
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:14,479
description

12
00:01:14,479 --> 00:01:19,439
it feels like every time apple releases a new ipad they seem to be making the

13
00:01:18,479 --> 00:01:23,759
case yet again that tablets or specifically

14
00:01:22,479 --> 00:01:28,159
their tablet are the future of mainstream computing

15
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:33,759
and you know what that might end up being true at some point but as we said

16
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:37,119
in the conclusion of our ipad pro review

17
00:01:33,759 --> 00:01:40,479
in order to lead us to that future apple

18
00:01:37,119 --> 00:01:43,360
needs to make iOS much more robust

19
00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:47,200
well i guess apple watches our videos because it looks like they listen to us

20
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:54,079
along with well every other tech reviewer so at

21
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,079
wwdc 2019 apple announced that ipads

22
00:01:54,079 --> 00:02:00,399
would get their own specialized version of iOS called

23
00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:05,600
ipad os with new features that bring the ipad experience closer to the one that

24
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:11,120
you'd expect from a laptop or a desktop including multitasking improvements

25
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:14,720
external drive support finally

26
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:19,760
and even mouse support but before you guys get too amped up

27
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:24,160
watch the rest of the video because it's not quite what you'd expect

28
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,920
or rather it might be exactly what you'd expect i mean

29
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:32,640
this is still apple we're talking about so let's start with the home screen app

30
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:37,760
icons are now smaller so you can fit more on one page that's cool and you can

31
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:43,280
now slide the today view with its list of widgets in from the left side

32
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:48,879
now let's talk multitasking split view and slide over have gotten a big upgrade

33
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:54,160
you can now place two instances apple is calling these spaces but to simplify our

34
00:02:52,480 --> 00:03:01,519
lives we're going to refer to them as Windows so two instances of some apps side by

35
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:06,400
side like here you can see we fired up two file Windows or two notes Windows

36
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:12,080
within the notes app now you could already bring up iphone

37
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:14,959
width apps in slide over mode on iOS 12

38
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:19,200
but now you can add more apps to slide over and you can switch between them

39
00:03:17,519 --> 00:03:23,519
just like you do with your full screen apps now as i mentioned not every app

40
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:28,640
supports spaces right now i couldn't open two

41
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:33,040
word documents side by side for instance but for the apps that do support it this

42
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:38,400
better use of the screen real estate on the ipad is an absolute godsend i mean i

43
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:44,239
think it's fair to say that it's easier than it has ever been to work on a

44
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:48,080
document reference a webpage and message

45
00:03:44,239 --> 00:03:49,760
someone at the same time on an ipad

46
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:54,239
it does take some getting used to especially once you find out that

47
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:59,599
there's now essentially a multitasking expose menu for each space enabled app

48
00:03:57,519 --> 00:04:03,360
and then that to see it you've got to open the app

49
00:04:00,799 --> 00:04:06,959
then bring up the dock and tap the apps icon again

50
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:10,000
but once you get all of that through your thick skull it's completely

51
00:04:08,959 --> 00:04:13,360
intuitive now let's move on to external storage

52
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:18,320
support i was tempted to not even give apple a

53
00:04:15,519 --> 00:04:22,479
point for this because its absence was so dumb to begin with kind of like

54
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:26,800
copy paste that they shouldn't get praised for implementing it but

55
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:32,479
that would be petty so i'll say this better late than never

56
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:38,400
here's how it works you plug in fire up the files app then using the new columns

57
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:40,320
views you can easily browse and transfer

58
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:44,240
the files on your external storage device

59
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:49,680
both of these features were much needed on a device with the pro moniker and i

60
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:52,479
couldn't be happier that they're finally here

61
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:58,160
another much needed feature is the ability to load the desktop versions of

62
00:04:54,639 --> 00:05:00,720
websites by default so you can access

63
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:05,360
desktop versions on iOS versions prior to 13 but you need to tap and hold the

64
00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:11,360
refresh button every time a page loads so now browsing

65
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:16,320
the web on an ipad does feel more like using a laptop or a desktop making our

66
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:21,440
writer for this video riley want to smash the ipad pro into the wall

67
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:25,120
far less frequently next up we've got some more

68
00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:30,639
minor changes that make the ipad easier to use these include new gestures

69
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:33,759
requiring three fingers so you can pinch

70
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:37,280
to copy spread your fingers to paste and

71
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:39,840
you can also tap three times or swipe to

72
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:44,320
the left to undo pinching the on-screen keyboard will shrink it down to phone

73
00:05:41,919 --> 00:05:49,280
size making it even easier to use the new swipe to text feature that apple

74
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:53,919
finally added and you can scroll through pages using the scroll bar rather than

75
00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:58,560
swiping down endlessly now the apple pencil where is it there it is

76
00:05:55,919 --> 00:06:02,960
also gets some major improvements it has even lower latency which is impressive

77
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:07,759
considering it was already nigh imperceptible you can now easily

78
00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:12,720
screenshot and annotate in any app by dragging from the bottom corner and with

79
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:17,360
pencil kit developers can natively integrate the pencil palette into their

80
00:06:15,039 --> 00:06:23,120
apps so the pencil experience will now be consistently great across ipad apps

81
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:27,600
not just in apple notes so now

82
00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:29,919
let's address the greatest fear of the

83
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,400
elephant in the room what

84
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:37,360
nice oh come on

85
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,520
let's talk mouse support it's finally here

86
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:46,360
but it is very unconventional and looks

87
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,360
like this

88
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:54,639
so what they've done here is

89
00:06:52,479 --> 00:07:00,000
rather than implement this much requested feature in a

90
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:03,199
predictable or conventional way um is

91
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:08,039
well it appears that apple has begrudgingly added it in as part of

92
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:12,639
their assistive touch accessibility feature

93
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:17,599
so from their perspective it's meant then for folks who have difficulty

94
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:23,120
touching the screen or who require an adaptive accessory also known as

95
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:28,240
a mouse so okay then once assistive touch is enabled you

96
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:34,160
connect your adaptive accessory via bluetooth or a dongle just like you

97
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:37,120
would any other device but the thing is

98
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:42,319
is that it's meant to emulate physical touch

99
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:44,639
not behave like a traditional mouse and

100
00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:51,280
that becomes clear the first time you try to use the scroll wheel in certain

101
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:53,199
apps or right click for a context menu

102
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:57,840
now assistive touch has quite a few customization options available which

103
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:01,680
would seem to be very useful to people who are actually using it as an

104
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:06,800
accessibility feature but they're just honestly not that great for

105
00:08:05,039 --> 00:08:10,720
laptop users who are just trying to use a freaking mouse on an ipad

106
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:16,000
to be clear the experience wasn't horrible it

107
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:19,520
definitely saved riley some ARM strain from reaching up and tapping when he

108
00:08:17,599 --> 00:08:24,720
could just move the mouse an inch and click but

109
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:28,800
it definitely does not suddenly make the

110
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:32,479
ipad pro just as good of a desk or or a

111
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:35,360
lap based computer as a laptop would be

112
00:08:32,479 --> 00:08:41,599
in fact adding a mouse almost made it more apparent that trying to treat iOS

113
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:47,440
as a desktop operating system is a bit of a masochistic endeavor apple is

114
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:52,000
plainly making it clear that using a mouse on ipad is just not part of their

115
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:56,399
vision for the platform which got me thinking you know when i

116
00:08:54,399 --> 00:09:00,240
heard that apple was adding things like mouse support external storage i thought

117
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:04,320
great the ipad is going to be more like a

118
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:10,800
normal computer but i was wrong because apple isn't

119
00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:13,760
trying to make the ipad pro more like a

120
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:18,560
computer they're trying to help the ipad which is still

121
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:22,959
very much an ipad be more useful as a computer

122
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:28,640
now that might seem like i'm saying the same thing but let me explain here

123
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:30,640
i as a power user expect to have certain

124
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:34,720
features on my computers a high precision mouse or track pad

125
00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:39,200
i expect a desktop which i can populate with Windows that i can move or resize

126
00:09:36,959 --> 00:09:42,959
at will i expect a file manager that lets me see all of the contents of my

127
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:50,160
machine and anything that i've attached to it the way i want to see it so to me

128
00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:55,279
the computer experience is about giving the user the tools and the freedom to

129
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:58,720
use the machine the way that they want to use it

130
00:09:56,560 --> 00:10:03,760
but the cold hard truth is that is not what the ipad is about

131
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:08,399
and that's clearer than ever with the ipad os update

132
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:14,320
while ipad os certainly gives users more freedom than iOS 12 the ipad experience

133
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:19,600
is still very much about embracing the machine's identity as a handheld

134
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:25,760
touch-powered or excuse me pencil-powered as it were device

135
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:28,320
but here's the thing maybe

136
00:10:26,959 --> 00:10:33,680
just maybe that's the right

137
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:37,760
decision okay okay wait hear me out guys

138
00:10:36,079 --> 00:10:41,680
i think up until now we've been actually going about this video entirely the

139
00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:46,480
wrong way like it's we always go through the same song and dance apple calls the

140
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:51,440
ipad a computer what's a computer we laugh review it against a laptop and

141
00:10:49,279 --> 00:10:57,440
scoff at its lack of mouse support and pitiful file management etc etc etc but

142
00:10:54,720 --> 00:11:02,240
while microsoft's dream was having one operating system across phones tablets

143
00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:06,079
and pcs and samsung is meanwhile trying to get their users to use their phone as

144
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:11,839
a desktop machine apple isn't trying to make the ipad into

145
00:11:08,399 --> 00:11:14,240
a laptop they already sell laptops and

146
00:11:11,839 --> 00:11:19,440
they've been just as resistant to adding touch support to macbooks as they've

147
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:22,240
been to adding desktop features to ipads

148
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:28,640
they clearly have no desire to unify the experience of what it's like to use an

149
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:31,200
iphone an ipad and a mac so someone who

150
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:36,160
keeps comparing ipads to laptops is never really going to be satisfied until

151
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:39,600
apple releases an ipad that's basically a macbook with touchscreen which is a

152
00:11:37,839 --> 00:11:43,680
great idea and they should do that but instead of doing that apple has

153
00:11:41,519 --> 00:11:47,920
chosen to add a new category of productivity machines tablets that

154
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:52,959
aren't just giant phones that you use for watching

155
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:58,720
netflix playing mobile games and skyping so excuse me facetiming grammar and that

156
00:11:56,079 --> 00:12:03,760
aren't just a harder to use and less capable laptop

157
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:06,639
so ipad os is a vision of a future where

158
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:10,959
an artist or a business owner or a family

159
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:11,920
buy an ipad as their sole computer

160
00:12:10,959 --> 00:12:15,440
because while it is certainly less efficient for

161
00:12:14,079 --> 00:12:20,399
some tasks a lot of tasks if you only use your computer once in a

162
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:24,639
while why would you buy a bulky awkward laptop

163
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:29,279
instead i mean it does say something that once

164
00:12:26,959 --> 00:12:36,079
riley started thinking of the ipad pro as less of a bad laptop and more of a

165
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:40,560
better ipad he went and finished writing this review sitting on a beanbag using

166
00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:44,959
the mini swipe to text keyboard with word safari and notes open on screen at

167
00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:50,160
the same time and it wasn't bad

168
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:53,040
like at least it was more ergonomic

169
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:58,639
so in conclusion then we think that with ipad os the ipad can be someone's next

170
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:03,519
computer but what apple needs to do between now and

171
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:07,600
then is to clarify their messaging because it's been kind of a confusing

172
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:11,600
mess so far they'll say things like the ipad pro can be your next computer so

173
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:17,040
like wait it's a computer but then they'll say it's like a computer but

174
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,720
unlike any computer so wait it's

175
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:22,560
not a computer then they had this other campaign

176
00:13:20,079 --> 00:13:27,040
describing the ipad as a new way to take notes or make music or create a

177
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:34,160
presentation which i think is actually the most accurate the ipad is especially

178
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:36,720
with ipad os a new way to use a computer

179
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:41,680
a worse way for some people like myself

180
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:43,519
but perhaps a better way for others

181
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:47,360
speaking of grabbing at anything that i could possibly turn into a segway our

182
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:50,880
sponsored ting ting is a different kind of mobile

183
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:55,200
carrier focused on customer service and satisfaction with ting you can stop

184
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:59,760
