Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and today apple released the 11 inch and 12.9 inch version
of the brand new ipad pro 5th generation the 12.9 inch version gets an all new mini led display
and it comes in silver and space gray like i have here and thanks to paperlike for sponsoring this
video now this comes in at a thousand ninety nine and goes all the way up to two thousand
three hundred and ninety nine dollars and starts at 128 gigabytes of storage and goes up to two
terabytes of storage so you have that huge range of storage options and if you get the one or two
terabyte versions you get 16 gigs of ram instead of just eight gigs of ram so basically all the
same specs that you get with an m1 macbook pro for example along with that apple also released
the new magic keyboard in white so we'll take a look at that so let's go ahead and unbox these
so let's go ahead and open this and as you can see it's actually the one terabyte wi-fi
and cellular model so let's go ahead and open it up we'll take the wrapper off here
and let's open the box
and here is the ipad itself so it's space gray like i said we'll take a closer look
at that in just a moment and inside the box you've got some paperwork here
it says ipad pro just goes over it like most ipad pros if you have the cellular model you also get
a sim card ejector tool and usually there's some stickers in here and there is so let's get those
out there's also two white apple stickers in here so they're not color matching anything with this
this year you also get a 20 watt adapter with usbc and then also a usb c to usb c charge cable
let's set this aside and take a closer look at the ipad so let's take the cover off it or the wrapper
and this ipad is a little bit larger than last year's it's a little bit heavier it's 1.51 pounds
or 685 grams so it's a little bit heavier than the previous generation so that's not a huge deal
it's also 2.25 inches or 6.4 millimeters in depth so again slightly thicker about 0.5 millimeters
thicker now on the outside edge of course it's space gray as you can see here it has antenna
lines because it's the cellular model and you have three connectors or smart connectors for
the magic keyboard for example on the left side there's not really anything there except for
one microphone hole on the bottom you've got two speakers there's four speakers all together and
now you have a thunderbolt port so this is usbc or thunderbolt 3 and you've got up to 40 gigabytes a
second you've also got a 5g antenna here as well and then on the other side you have a sim card
tray and then you have your connector and charger for the apple pencil and then your volume buttons
on the top you've got your power sleep wake you've got your two speakers and again two microphones
and then your antenna lines for all of the radios and antennas on the back you have the same cameras
as you did last year with a 12 megapixel and a 10 megapixel ultra wide and then also 125
degree field of view and a lidar sensor as well with your microphone array so you've got all of
those things the front facing camera should be a little bit different it now has a wider camera
as well as a 12 megapixel camera with 122 degree field of view with an f 2.4 aperture
this should follow you around when you're in meetings so it can kind of keep track of what's
going on and help you out if you're not in the frame properly let's go ahead and turn it on
and you'll see it's booting up the apple logo is in the
correct orientation that usually means it has ios 14.5 or ipad os 14.5 or newer
and there we go now it says hello now for a quick comparison between the two on the
left is the 2020 ipad pro on the right is the 2021 ipad pro they look identical from the back
but the thickness is a little bit different so if i set them down you can see there's a slight
thickness difference now also to compare the internals with the speakers and magnets this
is some magnet paper on the left is the old one so you'll see the speakers are sort of rounded here
and if we go down to the bottom again we have rounded speakers if we move over to the 2021
m1 version you'll see the speakers look a little bit different the magnets are in the same sort of
general location but the speakers do look slightly different than they do on the current version
versus the previous version so you'll see round and then sort of an oval speaker here now before
i set up the new ipad i want to talk about our sponsor paperlike if you're looking for a screen
protector that not only protects your screen but will greatly reduce glare and fingerprints this is
for you i've been using it on my ipad air as well as an ipad pro for quite some time and you'll see
it drastically reduces glare as well so if i bring it over to the light here you can see the glare is
much less than on the new ipad for example with paperlike it also sounds and feels natural when
writing so if i go into notes and then let's write zolotek and let me move the mic so you can hear
as you can hear it sounds natural and it's also easy on the tip of the pencil as well
if you'd like to try them out for yourself i'll leave a link to them in the description below
and thanks to paperlike for sponsoring this video so we'll set up the ipad pro we'll just swipe up
i'll select the language i want and i'll bring my iphone nearby you could bring an old ipad as well
tap on unlock to continue and now we'll just aim the camera there
now we'll simply set that up so i first brought my phone near here and then
connected the two accounts together you just bring your phone near it and then
let's go ahead and tap on continue and set up face id so we'll get started and there we go
we'll do it again
we'll hit continue and then we'll keep going we'll agree to the terms and conditions
now we can select to restore from a backup or in this case i'm not going to transfer anything
so we'll just go ahead and hit continue and we'll set it up as new we'll hit continue again as far
as keeping your ipad up to date we'll wait just a moment here as far as apple pay i'll set that up
a little bit later in settings and then it's asking if i want to improve syrian dictation
say not now i don't use screen time and then also app analytics and then get started so now we're on
the home screen it looks like your typical ipad from here but what makes this ipad a little bit
different is the display for one the display so far looks about the same but if you turn it
all the way down it goes completely black for the most part especially if you're on something
that has a completely black background it can get darker because it has ten thousand local dimming
mon or mini leds and that's what makes this a little bit different so it's the same 2732 by 2048
as far as the screen resolution with 264 pixels per inch it has 600 nits of max brightness but
a thousand nits at the full brightness and then maybe if you're playing hdr it goes up to 1600
nits of brightness has a million to one contrast ratio so let me see if i can show this to you
side by side with say a different ipad now on the left i have the 2020 ipad pro and on the right i
have the new ipad pro let me go to the brightness i'll turn it all the way down and we'll turn it
all the way down on both let me turn the lights off here now you may or may not be able to see
this but with the wallpaper set as black the the pixels on the right are completely black like an
oled display it's very dark so it looks a little bit different there if i turn the brightness up
let's go back to brightness and if we go all the way up you can see here you may or may not
be able to see it but if i hit cancel and go home the brightness on the one on the right is
very vivid and bright and it's not as bright on the left it's close but it's definitely
noticeable that it goes brighter now another quick thing i wanted to show you is how bright
the new display actually can go in hdr as well so if we go into youtube to one of my hdr videos
i'll go to the options here in the upper right you can see we have the option for 4k or 2160p hdr
and this is going to be so bright you may not be able to tell the difference
but generally the new display should go much brighter so i'll hit play the volume is down
and let's turn the brightness all the way up on both so they're both hdr displays and there's
a noticeable difference in the highlights behind the tree for example so it is brighter it's very
minimal at this point but i think with certain footage maybe from a movie that's in hdr it could
make a big difference now one thing i was curious about is if the new mini led display actually uses
pwm and flashes the display so let's take a look at that now at 240 frames per second in slo-mo
i don't see any obvious signs of pwm or pulse width modulation where it flickers the display
to control the brightness however that doesn't mean it's not at a higher rate it's just not low
enough to pick it up with slow-mo which is a good thing for most people that are affected by this
as it usually wouldn't bother their eyes if you can't see it now as far as the overall benchmarks
of this device since this is using apple's new m1 processor you'll see here that it has
15.2 gigs of ram so 16 gigabytes of ram with the new m1 chipset i ran geekbench and it scored 1700
for single core and 7085 for multi-core compared to last year's ipad you'll see here
with the a12x for example we're significantly faster in both single and multi-core so it's a
huge jump as far as that goes now the m1 ipad pro is super fast because it's running the m1
processor i showed you the benchmark scores no app is really going to take advantage of that too much
except for maybe exporting video for example now as far as the overall speed is concerned i thought
we'd export a 4k video i recorded this earlier so if we go into imovie this is my ios 14.6 release
candidate 2 video and all i did was put a slight title over the beginning of the video on both that
way it has to re-render both of them so we'll go ahead and share these or hit done on both of these
we'll hit done we'll tap share and then under share we'll tap save video so we'll
try and hit this at the same time as the stopwatch are very close i'll tap save video
and let's see what one or which one actually finishes
faster
now both of them finished at very similar times and honestly you would expect the m1 to be faster
now if you had different types of footage with more effects and luts and things like that then
yes it would probably be a lot faster on the m1 so it just depends what you're doing what kind
of footage you're putting on this and then sort of exporting and working with but with extra ram
you'll be able to do a lot more and you'll see while i was exporting that i only had two apps
open the same apps on either one so there's no difference as far as that goes it does have one
more feature with the forward-facing camera though but before i show you that let's go ahead and
unbox the magic keyboard now for those of you that were wondering with the old magic
keyboard maybe you're upgrading let's see how that fits so here's the 2020 magic keyboard
let's put it on the back here and it adheres just fine no problems there and if i close it
it actually appears to fit okay maybe it's a little bit snug but it mostly seems okay so
you may or may not need to buy one but basically it feels the same maybe it's slightly more snug
and maybe the ipad sticks out of the edge a little bit more so let me put this down and
we'll open the new magic keyboard to compare so we'll open this up here let's take the cover off
and here's the magic keyboard and this is very expensive at about 350 dollars
it's one of my favorite accessories but it is very expensive let's go ahead and open this up here
and inside again we've got some paperwork no apple stickers this time but just a little bit
of paperwork about the magic keyboard and if we compare side by side let me open the other one
we'll take the new ipad out of it now let's take a quick look at the magnets see if they're the same
i believe they are so we've got sort of this pattern here it's slightly different on both
if we go to this side you'll see it almost looks like an elongated eye on the old one
you don't have the magnets in the middle so if i can show you that a little bit closer
it's a little bit different as far as the magnet so it may hold on a little bit better on the newer
ipad pro so in the middle and at the bottom it's the same but it looks to be a little bit different
at the top just right around the camera for example slightly different depending
on which one you're looking at you have this line of magnets there for example
now as far as overall thickness well let's take a look basically they're the same as far as that
goes let me flip the keyboard over you'll see the white one is the new one and it's slightly
different so it's basically the same thing and you could use the old one the new one may adhere
a little bit better to the new ipad now because the speakers are slightly different in their
design i wanted you to take a listen to them and see if you could notice any difference with them
so what i'll do is i'll play the old one first for about 10 seconds and then the newer ipad for
another 10 seconds so let me move the new ipad out of the way so we can listen to the old one first
so
so both of them sound very similar if you're really into audio you may notice that there's
a little more bass on the newer ipad and maybe a little bit better separation but that could be a
placebo effect because it's newer so they're close enough that i don't think most people
would notice on you unless you're really into audio now the forward-facing camera
is a wide-angle camera that's a little bit wider than before so if we go into the camera
and within the camera we'll spin it around and you'll see what it looks like here now if i hit
this button it zooms out and you've got a much wider field of view there's a few options for this
as well to sort of correct lens distortion but it doesn't seem to do a whole lot but
it does correct it according to the settings so if we go to our camera settings we'll go to settings
and then we'll go down to camera on the camera settings you'll see it's in 4k 30 that's the rear
camera and then it has lens correction for the ultra wide so let's see what it actually sounds
like if i record video from it so we'll go ahead and go to video and let's go ahead and hit record
so now we're recording from the ipad pro it's forward facing camera and its internal
microphones its studio microphones so this is what it sounds like as compared to the main
studio mic that i normally use if we switch it to widescreen here now we're recording in
widescreen and i'm not sure if the audio changes sometimes it does with the iphone so i wanted to
see if this was a little bit different as well so we'll stop that and one other thing this has is
what's called center stage it centers you when you're on a facetime call for example or maybe a
zoom call other applications can use it so if you go into your settings and then you go to facetime
under your facetime settings there's a new option for center stage this will center you if you don't
want it turned on of course you can just turn it off so we'll go home we'll go into facetime here
and you'll see i have a new contact on and you can see it's zooming into me if i move over here
it follows me around so it's actually going to follow me around wherever i go so if i move
over here you'll see it sort of is like having a built-in cameraman that's tilting and panning the
camera i go over here it moves back of course this wouldn't be here this is just so that you
don't see the the contacts and i don't have to blur everything out but this gives you an idea
of what it looks like and how it works so i think it'll be really handy if you're using a lot of
facetime calls or zoom calls or anything else especially if you're in a larger environment
and have more than one person as well it will sort of accommodate for both
so that's it for the ipad pro it definitely feels a lot heavier than the previous generation
and of course i'll be using it over the next week or so to see what it's like i'm not sure if it's
going to be that much faster and i think with ipad os 15 being shown at wwdc in june i think that's
where we're going to see some major changes that make the new m1 processor in this ipad pro worth
it but let me know what you think about it in the comments below if there's anything you want
to see specifically for example let me know there as well be sure to check out paperlike again the
