- Welcome to the first Tech Tuesday.
I've been meaning to get on board with this
since I started Medical Mondays, Medical Minute Mondays,
but it's just been harder than it seems, it's just,
I really want to do a good job with Tech Tuesday,
I don't want it to be something
that's just really half-assed, really.
Today is exciting because the first Tech Tuesday
is going to be an unboxing of the new iPad Pro.
Now, you guys know I've had iPad Pros in the past,
I had the really big cookie sheet-sized one,
and got rid of that 'cause it was too big
once I stopped needing to study for my awards,
and then I have the iPad Mini,
which is so antiquated even though I bought it recently,
once I replaced my big iPad Pro with the Mini,
and the difference between
the technology of the two is astounding.
The iPad Mini is so slow, even though I got the,
you know, normal version,
and it was manufactured recently.
It's still so, it's just so much slower than iPad Pro,
and I missed the pencil, and I missed all that kind of stuff,
and it's all a new, kind of redone,
I don't know if you've noticed a lot of the announcements,
back in the fall of 2018, but they redid the iPad Pro,
they redid the Apple Pencil,
and it's supposed to all be a whole lot better,
and I didn't really buy into the hype,
and I still haven't, I'm still very skeptical,
which is why another Tech Tuesday down the line
will be a full review,
but since I haven't used it yet,
I just want to do an unboxing.
And as you will see, I've placed an order,
and it's going to be delivered to me
within two hours of my order, which is pretty special.
I love that feature, I love that kind of courier feature
that Apple provides,
because getting to an Apple store in my area is like,
it's like fighting tooth and nail in traffic,
and it's really not pleasant,
I'd rather not do it, I don't like going into malls,
I don't like driving to the different Apple stores
in Houston because parking is always such a nightmare,
so thankfully they're going to bring it
to my house within two hours,
so now all I have to do is wait.
Okay, so here we have the iPad,
and I'm just going to pull everything out.
I got the iPad 10, excuse me, 11 inch,
the folding Smart Keyboard Folio,
and the new Apple Pencil 2.0.
We'll start with the Apple Pencil.
[plastic wrap crinkling]
Love that sound.
The cool thing about the Apple Pencil 2.0
is it's only compatible,
unfortunately it's only compatible with the newer iPads,
but it can wirelessly charge
and is magnetically attachable to the iPad.
And the way it allows you to do that
is with this kind of like,
I don't know what you want to call it,
like a bevel, almost, only on one side,
and you can apparently tap the pencil to change modes,
like between pencil and eraser, which is nice.
So that is the new Apple Pencil 2.0,
and it says Apple Pencil on there.
I don't remember if the last one said that.
It feels overall very soft touch.
The previous iteration was a smooth, kind of glossy,
and this is very soft touch matte type of feel,
so it's got this,
I feel very confident this won't slip from my hand
as easily as the other one.
This, I am the most unsure about.
This is the Smart Keyboard Folio,
comes in at a whopping $179.00,
and unfortunately, there is no pull tab for this one,
so I'm going to have to MacGyver this,
'cause I'm already chained to my filming setup,
so I'll have to use my teeth.
[blowing]
I got to say, the experience unboxing this one
is far less exciting.
Alright, so this is the 11 inch version,
so you can see kind of what the size of the iPad's going to be,
and I got this navy color,
I believe that's the only color it comes in at the moment.
Here is the smart connector,
where it attaches to the iPad very intuitively
and doesn't require, like,
pairing and unpairing to Bluetooth,
it's powered via this connector
and it communicates via this connector,
so you don't have to worry about turning this sucker on,
you don't have to worry about charging it or repairing it
or having Bluetooth connection problems.
It should just be good to go.
Now for the mac daddy, this one does have a pull, whoa,
this one does have a pull tab.
So this is the new iPad,
and you can see the smart connector on the back.
It's very interesting because it has, almost like the iPad,
I mean, iPhone 6,
it's got this, like, flat bezel to it that,
it just seems a little bit antiquated, I don't know.
We'll see how people feel about it,
but, for the most part it does feel rather interesting
that they would go for this design.
I do know for a fact that they went with this design
in order to allow a flat charging surface for,
alright, there we go.
The magnets are located on the side, this right-hand side.
I did try and put it on the other way,
and it doesn't work.
Well, it feels immediately,
I can tell it feels very,
and that just slotted right into place immediately,
which is super cool,
so that was definitely a magnetic connection.
I'm going to go ahead and set up Face ID.
So now we have the iPad setting up,
it's downloading from one of my previous iPad Pro backups,
and so far, it seems very responsive.
I know that I'm not giving a review,
but we shall see, time will tell, what we really think
about this new iPad Pro from Apple.
So far, the keyboard feels very nice, very responsive.
I did use it to log into my Apple ID,
to start doing the backup, and all that kind of stuff.
You can see right here, it says it may take a few minutes
to set up your Apple ID.
Siri, it's me.
So, interestingly enough, when I used Hey Siri,
this one was deactivated automatically by Apple,
because somehow they were talking to each other,
and it knew that it was doing a setup.
So, I don't know how Apple did that magic,
but that's very interesting.
Alright, so, Screen Time, don't share, True Tone display.
I'll show you what the difference is
between the True Tone, actually, so I'm going to go back.
Oh, okay, well, alright.
Plug this in.
Alright, so, while that is restoring from backup,
I thought I'd just go over the new plug from Apple
for iPad Pro.
They are moving over, thank god, to the USBC.
Some people may be really frustrated
because you've got a million cables with a normal,
standard old USB integration,
but this is so nice, because it's reversible,
it doesn't matter which way you plug it in, it works,
and it's much faster,
it can charge and send and receive data,
and as long as you have just one of these,
these will be, like, future compatible
to a lot of different devices,
not just Mac and Apple and iPhone,
so expect to see a lot more of these style cables
from Apple and other developers in the future.
And this is called USBC.
This one doesn't say,
but I do believe this is an 18 volt charger,
you can buy a faster brick from Apple,
and it will charge your iPad even faster,
but, of course, they don't always provide that,
because that would cut into their bottom line,
and I've made several comments on Apple
in the past regarding that, but, anyway.
So here is the charger,
I'm going to go ahead and plug this sucker in,
and then we shall see how this restore from backup is going.
Let's put this, oh, let's see,
do we get stickers?
There's the stickers, and they are quite large,
oh my goodness, those are big stickers.
Much bigger than the usual.
Alright, so I'm going to put this up.
I always save my box,
because I always end up selling my iPads when I upgrade,
so I always save my box,
and I like to save my Apple Pencil stuff.
This one has already finished backing up.
Oh my god, it's so hard to pull this from the magnet,
like, it's so sturdy on there.
Alright, swipe up to upgrade.
Upgrade what, what am I upgrading?
Oh, I must be upgrading a operating system or something.
Okay, I'm sitting here having to research how
to force restart an iPad without a Home button,
I'm sorry if you can hear my yard guys,
they're mowing the lawn,
because there's no Home button, I don't know how to do that,
and that's the first problem I've encountered
since before even really starting this up.
So, just as an FYI, on new devices without a Home button,
on the iPad Pro, press and quickly release
the Volume Up button,
then press and release the Down button,
and then hold and press, press and hold the Power button
until the device restarts.
That worked like a charm.
My iPad was stuck on the Apple logo.
It was, I believe, trying to update the software,
the iOS was a newer version.
Alright, so I've basically set up,
for the most part, my iPad,
and, so far, it just operates like any other iPad.
So, so far, so good.
I'll show you what it looks like when I attach the pencil.
So that is going to conclude Tech Tuesday
with a iPad Pro unboxing,
along with the Apple Keyboard Folio,
and the Apple Pencil 2.0.
So thank you so much for watching,
again, if you want me to do a review on this
a couple weeks down the line,
once I've had a chance to take it for a spin, a test drive,
and let you know my thoughts,
please leave a comment down in the description box,
and also give this video a thumbs up.
If you want to see more Tech Tuesdays,
please don't forget to submit your Tech Tuesday requests
in the description box,
there is a link there to Google Forms,
and I purchased this and did this
because you guys recommended it,
and there were so many requests
for an iPad Pro unboxing/review.
So I thought I would get a headstart with the unboxing,
and I will definitely pick up with a review
if that's what you guys still want.
So thank you for watching Tech Tuesday,
and I'll see you in my next one.
Bye, guys.
