hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and this is the twelve point nine inch
2018 iPad pro and have been using this every single day since it came out for
the past year this is my main device that I use when I'm not editing videos
and so you'll see I have the keyboard case on it and we'll talk about a few
different things but the time codes for all the different sections of this video
are linked in the description below if you'd like to take a look at those now
the first thing is the keyboard cover I use it on the iPad pro all the time you
can see it has some marks on it and if I flip it over here it's it does pick up
fingerprints and things pretty easily and it hasn't really frayed or anything
like that now as far as this keyboard goes it's not amazing or anything but it
hasn't ripped or torn like the first generation iPad pro keyboards now the
only complaint I really have about the keyboard well I guess there's two
complaints really is one is you've only got two adjustments and the other is
because it doesn't have a microfiber cloth up against the display of the iPad
pro what happens is is your fingers while you're typing leave oil residue on
the keyboards themselves or on the keys themselves and then when you fold it
down on to the iPad pro it ends up leaving little key marks behind and then
you have to wipe the display more often so you'll see there's a bunch of little
finger prints on it and I just don't find it to be as oleophobic as the
previous generation it's not a huge deal but definitely
something I notice now let me set this aside and I haven't had any issues with
the iPad pro bending as far as durability I know some people have had
this issue but with it being in this keyboard case this is pretty rigid so
this adds a bunch of stability and rigidity to the overall design so this
helps a lot so if you don't have a case on your iPad pro you may have some
bending issues but I really have had no issues with it whatsoever now the
overall durability other than the bending no issues you see you've seen
it's been in a case so there's not really much use on the back or anything
like that there's a couple marks where the pogo pins from the case are but it's
held up well now if we take a look at the Apple pencil let me take it off of
the iPad the pencil is held up well and you'll see there's a couple marks on it
and that's from it touching the iPad all the time and charging it's not really
too much of an issue but it's just something
I noticed it keeps this little permanent mark there it's from the iPad itself and
so you'll see here you've got the iPads charge port there and it somehow marks
it up but let's unlock the iPad and face idea and this works really well
in all of these different orientations so when i unlock it no issue there it
doesn't matter which way it is it it will even unlock flat on the table like
this many times when I look at it so if I lock it here and it's not unlocked yet
but if I tilt it up and that's it at about a 30-degree angle towards my face
and unlocked so it works really well there now as far as the overall use of
this well I didn't really enjoy using this and it was great with iOS 12 it's
not as great with iPad OS 13 because it's just far more buggy in fact I had a
lot of touch responsiveness issues with it after upgrading to that but prior to
upgrading to that it was solid no issues whatsoever but then occasionally I'll
just lose lose the touch ability it just won't scroll or something along those
lines I'll have to lock it unlock it and then it will work and then worst case
scenario is I have to reboot it and this is not on a beta this is on the public
release version so occasionally it gives me an issue and it's a pain but most of
the time it's great to use now this display is a phenomenal display it has
great brightness it goes really bright and then it's dim as you want really
and this 120 Hertz promotion display is something they need to put on the iPhone
because this display when you're just scrolling it's super smooth all of the
time and then when you want to just leave it like this it's fine and you can
see what you're looking at but anytime you scroll what it does is it just ramps
that speed up so that the scrolling is faster and it's something that I would
love to see on the iPhone they added to Google's pixel and oneplus has it so I'd
love to see it on not just the iPad but also the iPhone but it's great on the
iPad as far as using this it's my main device when I'm not editing videos so I
can even edit video on here using things like luma fusion and I play around with
this but because there's not some plugins that Final Cut Pro has I find
that it doesn't work well for me but it's more than
powerful enough this is a 4k video and you'll see it scrubs through it without
any hiccup whatsoever and it's amazing this will handle four streams of 4k no
problem and then I can edit photos with Pixelmator photo or affinity photo that
I just started using and it's just an amazing device to use it's amazing that
it really never gets hot and I can edit video and export video faster than I can
on my iMac Pro so I would love to use this on the go full-time maybe I'll get
used to that and be able to do it but if I'm not using it for consuming videos on
YouTube or checking email I'm using it for video games and things like that but
most of the time I'm using it as consumption and an email and web browser
and then occasionally some editing photo editing and things like that but I love
this device the speakers are amazing I still am amazed that that much sound and
that quality of sound comes out of these speakers every time I use it so I often
don't find myself using headphones with this because the speakers are great so
they have great base and great range especially for something this small
now battery life of course is a very important thing and this when it was new
easily got ten hours of battery now it's been questionable with iPad OS again so
if I go back to battery let me bring this down I'll turn on dark mode it's a
little easier to see but battery here you'll see well let's go to the last ten
days and yesterday I only used it for an hour and 34 minutes and then had five
hours and thirty minutes of screen off time apparently YouTube was using it and
I didn't know it but if you look at some of the usage it's great five hours and
42 minutes with 50% usage for the most part but then some days it's just not so
good so an hour and a half and it was only used for about a quarter of its
battery so it goes back and forth I would say that when it does ten hours
that's what you expect but depending on which version of iOS it's on really
makes a difference as far as that goes and that is really it for this iPad this
is like I said my favorite Apple device I've used in a very long time some
people say that it's kind of soulless because it doesn't have a direct form
but I like it because it's a sheet of glass
I love the curved corners you may or may not like that on the display but I like
that a lot and it just looks great it doesn't have P double
um so it's not flickering the display so it doesn't bother my eyes and I don't
really use the camera I know some people love that but I don't really use it but
this really could be my main computing device and I could definitely recommend
this to someone if they don't want to use a regular computer or anything like
that because this is all the computer you really need unless there's a
specific task you want to do you have everything from pages to numbers to Word
or Excel whatever you want and it works well on this device so most tasks can be
easily done on this if the display is large enough for you so maybe one day
Apple will bring Final Cut Pro and I can use this on that go a hundred percent
but for now I'll continue to use my macbook but I love this device and until
Apple comes out with a new one which we thought they would already I'll
be using this one but let me know your thoughts of the iPad pro in the comments
below it's definitely my favorite device I bring it with me everywhere all the
time and I charge it through USB C all the time maybe if I had a complaint
about it it would be that I would like more ports and a headphone jack
otherwise it's a great device but let me know your thoughts in the comments below
