hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and this is the new 20/20 iPad pro 12.9
inch now this does come in a little bit smaller 11 inch size as well I just
prefer the larger size iPads and I also picked up the smart Keyboard folio now
the one that they showed in all the videos if you saw the Apple videos where
it sort of floats above the keyboard as far as the iPad is concerned that one
doesn't come out until May so this is all that's available right now so we'll
take a closer look at the accessories in a little while now this one comes in at
1099 because this is the 256 gigabyte model it comes in silver Space Gray and
ranges from $9.99 to 1499 if you go for one terabyte of storage if you want
cellular also you can pay an additional 150 dollars to get that option this is
just the Wi-Fi model I use my phone so let's go ahead and open it up you can
see here that it is the 256 gigabyte Wi-Fi 4th generation iPad pro 12.9 so
let's go ahead and open it up and take a look inside so take off the wrapper here
and now that the wrappers out of the way let's take the top of the box off and
there is the iPad pro so we'll take this out of the box and I got the Space Gray
model that's the one I like the most so we'll set this aside take a look at
what's inside the box so we'll take this little pamphlet out here if there's
usually some stickers and things in here and we have iPad pro this is sort of a
QuickStart guide on how to use it then we have a warranty card and most likely
some stickers in here as well they're kind of stuck for some reason and we
have some stickers they don't match the space great color so let me set these
aside and let's look at the accessories so inside the box we have the 18 watt
USB C charger you can see here it's just the 18 watt charger along with a USB c2
USBC cable so nothing really exciting there let's go ahead and set this aside
so here's the new iPad pro they have not changed the outside dimensions of it at
all they've just changed the camera in the back but it does come in at
point 4-1 pounds so it's very light and this is my favorite device or at least
the last generation was my favorite device that I ever used from Apple I use
it all the time as my content consumption device and I also create on
it as well let's go ahead and remove this cover now this iPad pro has a lot
of similarities with the previous generation and will compare some
benchmarks and things like that a little bit later but the first similarity is
its display it has the same liquid Retina display
it's 2732 by 2048 with a pixel density of 264 pixels per inch it also goes up
to 600 and it's of brightness and it's a beautiful display and we'll take a look
at that in a little while it also has a brand new CPU in it we're sort of a new
CPU it's got an a 12 Z CPU and then they've added five studio quality
microphones now there were a lot of microphones on here before but they're
supposedly a little bit better and then we have the new camera system we'll take
a look at a little bit later let's take a look around the outside edge now the
outside the first thing we have on the top is a power sleep/wake button with
two speakers and two microphones on the right hand side we have our volume
buttons up and down and then we have our connector that allows us to charge the
Apple pencil 2 we'll take a look at that in a moment but it'll charge allows it
to pair as well and it's magnetic then on the bottom we have two more speakers
the USBC connector for charging and this is not a thunderbolt connector so it
only charges or does file transfers but not at super high speeds and then on the
other side we have another microphone so it's a really nice iPad one of my
favorite designs my favorite iPad was the last one so I'm assuming this will
be my favorite as well but based off using that I had a lot of issues with
fingerprints and things on the display and even scratches although it was
protected all the time and so for this iPad before I even use it I want to put
a screen protector on it and I've partnered with paper-like who sponsored
this video to put a screen protector on here and use it regularly because my
previous iPad has finger prints that show it also has some scratches in it
and is always in the keyboard case so I never take it out of this but it still
has scratch so I'll go ahead and put that screen
protector on and then we'll continue now I've installed the paper-like screen
protector on the 20/20 iPad pro on the right and as you can see it drastically
reduces glare compared to the 2018 on the left not only does it do that it
also reduces fingerprints and just like its name says paper like it feels like
paper to write on so if I write on it with the Apple pencil just right so low
tech here it feels like paper and sounds like paper here listen to this so you
get the sound and feel of paper and it's friendly to the tip of the Apple pencil
many of these reduce the tip very quickly this should be about the same as
writing on the glass itself it's much nicer and if you'd like to check it out
for yourself go to paper like comm slash is a low tech one and I'll link it in
the description below now let's set up the iPad pro now the iPad pro has booted
up let's swipe up and we'll select our language here and our country and to set
this up quickly all I need to do is bring the old iPad or an iPhone next to
it to get it set up so let me move this over and I'll show you what I mean now
as I bring the old iPad closer all I need to do is hit continue and set up my
Apple ID on this iPad and it uses the camera to do this so I'll just bring
this pattern into view here now it's going to finish on this iPad I just need
to put in the pass code from this iPad onto this one and it says setting up a
new iPad so now it wants me to set up face ID I'll go ahead and do that I'll
hit continue
it says face ID is now set up I'll hit continue and it says setting up your
Apple ID now I'm going to restore my data from the previous iPad so I'll go
ahead and say update backup before restoring or just restore from today so
I don't need it to backup again I'll hit restore from today and wait for it to
complete now I'll hit agree I'll allow it to use settings from my backup and
I'll install updates manually as I like to cover those in videos if you follow
my channel I'll set up Apple pay later on and I'll click continue or tap
continue for Siri and I do not want to share my audio recordings but I will
share app data and now it's going to restore from iCloud this will take a
little while to complete so I'll let it complete and then I'll come back the
iPad pro has been set up and it's restoring all the applications that I
normally use so before I do anything that like run benchmarks or anything
like that I'll wait for this to finish installing but before we do that let's
take a look at a few things like the camera and first the wallpapers that
come pre-installed now these are specific to the new iPads so you have a
light and dark version of this this wallpaper and this wallpaper so I'll
link those in the description like I normally do with all the wallpapers and
so they're really nice just a couple new ones and I have it set on the background
here now let's first take a look at the cameras and now the forward facing
camera is the same 7 megapixels true depth camera but the new thing should be
a new mic array that sounds a little bit better or studio mics as Apple is
calling it so right now you're listening to me through my studio mics let me spin
this around and go to video and we have 4k 60 video on the back 1080p on the
front and now you can hear me through the microphone on the iPad pro 12.9 so
I'm not sure what it sounds like but you're listening to it right now and let
me know what you think in the comments below if you think this mic is better or
the studio mic that I'm using right now and so hopefully that sounds really
impressive like the 16 inch MacBook Pro but I
only know by the time I added this video now the rear cameras are all new and we
have a wide - 12 megapixel F 1.8 camera we also have an ultra wide 10 megapixel
F 2.2 with a hundred and 25 degree field of view and all new for this year is a
lidar camera or a lidar sensor and what that means is we can sense the depth now
using a laser and bounce it off things and see how quickly it comes back to
determine where things are in space and so you would use this for things like a
measuring app or augmented reality and there are not a whole lot of apps to
take advantage of this yet so there will be in the future but right now maybe you
could do some 3d modeling in the future to 3d print something scan something to
print it but right now it's fairly limited but developers can implement it
with all new tools so it should be pretty interesting so we'll switch over
here unlock this with face ID go to the camera the rear-facing camera and if I
was to record this here you could use this for range-finding or maybe maybe if
we go to the measure app here we go to measure we can measure distances a
little bit differently so we'll wait for it to turn on there we go and
immediately it locks on to things so it sees my keyboard in the background maybe
I want to measure from here to say here I can measure that and I don't know how
precise it is but we now have the ability to do that so it's really nice
and I think we'll see a lot of future uses for that light our camera in the
future now other than that this feels exactly like the previous generation
everything's basically the same and while we wait for this let's pair the
Apple pencil so all we do is connect it here it takes a moment and it should
connect us as Apple pencil 100% and there we go now it's paired with this
device take it off and it should work let's put this on and take a look at the
smart Keyboard accessory and see if there's any differences with the old one
since I have that right here and let's take a look at the smart Keyboard folio
so here's the old one I'll set it over here for now and here's the new one now
this is a pretty expensive keyboard this is $200 or 199 dollars so while my apps
are installing let's go ahead and open this up
so we'll take the cover off and you can see we have an all-new cutout for the
camera array and it looks like there's nothing else in here let's go ahead and
open this up and you can see there's an apple on the back I don't know if you
can see that but it's sideways implying that the Apple keyboard should be used
sideways so here's the old one here's the new one and the new keyboard is a
little bit darker so you can see that and you have an Apple logo right here I
don't know if you can see it in this light it may be a little bit hard to see
but there's an Apple logo right there and then inside is the new keyboard and
it looks like we've got some paperwork or literature here so what do we have in
here we have a smart keyboard folio and that's it so we've just got some
paperwork with it some warranty and things like that no Apple stickers now
inside we have a microfiber cloth lining that goes up against the iPad and then
outside it's the same sort of material that we have on the old one now this one
should work on the old 2018 iPad but you'll see here around the corner on the
20:18 there's some frayed edges so this does not hold up terribly well this is
two years old basically at this point so if we take it off and set the iPad over
here just for a moment you can see here's the keyboard and the keyboard is
basically the same so you have the same sort of keyboard here the keys the keys
feel identical it doesn't feel like there's scissors switches or anything
special but they feel identical so if you're looking from the old to the new
there's no change there but if you do have the new one you can use it with the
older iPad so if I set my iPad on here it connects the same way with magnets
and it just has a bigger opening so you can use the new one with it and again
there's that Apple logo but let me set this aside and check out the new iPad
now all of the apps finally finished installing the back of this is not warm
at all so that's really nice and let's click it into the keyboard folio case so
it's held on magnetically and then we have a couple angles so we do have two
angles just like the previous one and I wish it was a little bit more adjustable
but I'm waiting for that magic keyboard that sort of makes this hover but it is
three hundred and fifty dollars now one of the things I noticed with the camera
when I was waiting for those to install is that you can pinch out for ultra wide
or you can tap to go to 1x pinch out for ultra wide it's really nice very simple
to use and then you can zoom in digitally as well so it's pretty nice
just like you'd expect on the iPhone and let's take a look at the benchmarks but
before we do that this is held on magnetically and there are all sorts of
magnets in the back of this this is magnet paper and so as I move this over
the surface you can see here's all the magnets there's the speakers and it will
show you where all the magnets are within the iPad so it's pretty
interesting to see all the magnets that hold on the keyboard case and everything
else now let's go ahead and take a look at Geekbench 5 on this so one thing to
note that this does have 6 gigs of RAM or 5.5 2 gigabytes of RAM and you can
see it's got a OS 13.4 pre-installed on it I did not have to update this so
let's go to CPU and run a benchmark and see what we get now here's some
interesting results I just got you can see this is the 3rd generation iPad pro
this is the new one it's not filled out yet it's iPad 8 comma 11 and running
Geekbench 5 on this I got lower scores I ran this twice let
the iPad cool just to see if I could bump the score a little bit and I scored
1130 4410 I got a higher score on the older iPad now that doesn't necessarily
mean it will be any faster or slower that much but there is more RAM on the
new iPad however the a 12 Z may not be that much
faster than what we have in the iPad pro 12 point 9 from 2018 now if we go to
compute score let's see if there's any difference here you can see the medal
score finished on the new iPad and we have 10000 33 verse nine thousand 160
and that's because this is where we get the upgrade not so much in the processor
as far as the CPU but more the GPU or graphics processing unit so that makes
sense see higher numbers we also have some
more RAM so the other difference between these two is the new one also supports
Wi-Fi six and of course bluetooth 5.0 so the real question is should you upgrade
from the old one to the new one well it depends if you have the 2018 or not and
also if you want the new camera system because other than that they are very
similar now the microphones are a little bit
better and there is a slight difference there but that is not that much of a
bump in speed so the nice thing is with the older iPad you'll be able to upgrade
to say this keyboard or even the magic keyboard once it comes out so those
those Geekbench scores or benchmarks are kind of surprising now when using this
iPad pro I'm sure I'll love it just like the previous generation but I'm not sure
you should run out and pick one up right away if you already have a 20-18 but I
think it'll be a great device I love the other one and I'm really excited to use
it of course you have all the same features you have the same sort of
keyboard and trackpad support as well that you get on all the others and of
course this will have great speakers just like the previous generation now
expect the same 10 hours of battery life as well and it also has the same frame
or structure so it does flex a little bit if I push it a little more so I'm
not so sure they reinforce this or anything but it's a nice iPad and it
replaces the old one with a little bit more RAM some better microphones and
some new accessories that were waiting for so that's really it for the 20/20
