At the time of writing this post, the world is going through
a time of disaster. Some might say that the Earth is taking a break from the
stress we have given it. Yes, I am talking about the spread of the novel virus
COVID-19 or commonly known as "Corona Virus". During these time Apple
took some steps to help stop this viral disease to spread even further. They
temporarily closed their stores and instead are now offering free and fast
shipping. And they improved their online customer support (even more).
iPad
Pro - 2020
They also
released two new products (and some accessories to go with them). In this post
we are only going talk about the iPad Pro. The new MacBook Air deserves a separate
post (which will hopefully be published after this post)
iPad
Pro - 2020
One of the major products released
was the new iPad Pro. There are again two models released, one 11-inch model
and one 12-inch model. They both come in two color options, Silver and Space
Gray.

Apple is doing the same thing
that people have mixed feelings about, that is if something works fine they
simply keep it and improve the rest of the stuff. I personally like it, this
way the product just keeps improving. They kept a lot of things this time, such
as that incredible Face ID, that superb display with 120HZ refresh rate and 600
nit brightness, those amazing quad-speaker system, iPadOS, they also didn’t change
the design much because it was well received. Except one thing, the camera bump
is a lot different now, which leads me to the Camera department.

This time iPad has a similar camera
bump to the iPhone 11 Pro. One might think there are three cameras, but there
are only two, a 12MP wide and another 10MP Ultra-Wide camera. Which begs the
question, what is the third circle for? It’s the new LIDAR (Light Detection and
Ranging) sensor, which is used for improving AR. It uses ranging to
differentiate objects and Surfaces. So by improving AR capabilities, Apple is
again thinking about the future of technology. This camera system is still capable
of recording 4k videos at 60-fps, which is still not possible with most DSLR’s
and Mirror-less cameras.
In the Specs Department, Apple is
again going an extra-mile. They literally made the best tablet device even
faster. This time iPads (both models) come with the following specifications:
·
A12Z Bionic 64-bit Processor
·
6GB of RAM
·
Up to 1TB of storage
·
Studio quality Microphones
They are really capable devices, which should easily last
for a long time. Their longevity is what makes them worth every penny they
cost. Talking about cost, iPad Pro 11-inch starts from 799 USD and iPad Pro
12.9-inch starts from USD.
