![]() ![]() The display still covers the entire wide DCI-P3 cinema grade colour gamut and is also brighter at 600 nits, 100 nits more than the iPad Pro 9.7-inch. It also doesn’t suffer from the “soap opera” effect, where high-refresh-rate video looks unrealistically fast and smooth. It can even run at two different speeds if you’re in split view, keeping it at 120Hz in the Notes app and lower it in the Video player. As an added perk the feature also saves battery life in the process. Movies generally display at a lower refresh rate, but if you’re drawing you’ll want closer to 120Hz to remove any perceivable input lag. The real power of ProMotion, though, is how it cleverly adapts the refresh rate of the screen depending on what you’re doing. The effect is obvious even on the setup screens everything is so smooth, so fluid that it almost doesn’t feel like you’re touching the screen. On the new iPad Pro, the screen is 120Hz, which means it refreshes twice as often. Previous iPads ran at 60Hz, which meant the screen refreshed 60 times a second. What’s really special about the display here is Apple’s so-called “ProMotion” tech that powers the 2224 x 1668 resolution IPS LCD Retina display. Apple claims the larger display lets it include a full-size virtual keyboard, but for me it still feels much smaller than that. But, if you found the 9.7-inch too small, I don’t think the extra four-fifths of an inch will really make much difference. iPad Pro 10.5 – ScreenĪpple says that the new 10.5-inch screen here offers 20% more usable space than the outgoing 9.7-inch model, and you will notice that extra screen real estate. The 10.5-inch iPad Pro comes in Apple’s usual array of hues including space grey, gold, silver and rose gold, but sadly no matte or jet black like the iPhone 7. It’s all very run-of-the-mill stuff, but I can’t deny it’s a well-built tablet that looks good. The four speakers sit next to each corner and there’s a headphone jack on the top and a Lightning connector on the bottom, along with the three-pin Smart Connector on the side. The rest of the tablet feels very familiar and, as before, the aluminium back offers no flex and the chamfered edges still reflect light in a very eye-catching way. But it did feel like there was a lot of wasted space on the iPad Pro 9.7-inch and it’s nice to see Apple addressing that here. The bezel on a tablet doesn’t bother me as much as it does on a phone, since you need more edge space to get a proper grip. Width-wise it’s almost the same as the outgoing model, but it’s slightly taller and that means your old iPad cases probably won’t fit. There are a few key alterations to this year’s model that make it feel a lot more like a modern tablet, however.įirst off, the new 10.5-inch screen size means the tablet is slightly bigger than the outgoing 9.7-inch Pro but, due to a slimmer bezel around either side of the display, in your hand it feels about the same. The iPad Air slimmed things down and the 12.9-inch Pro from 2015 stretched things out, but the basic look hasn’t changed much. ![]() The design of the iPad has evolved very little since its inception seven years ago. It comes at a price, though – and a steep one at that. If you just want something for Netflix binges, web browsing and emails, the 9.7-inch iPad 2018 is all you need.īut if you’re after something that can stand in for your laptop when you’re on the move, the iPad Pro 10.5 is worth your attention, offering the best camera, screen and performance we’ve ever seen on a tablet. It’s cheaper than the iPad Pro 2018 and might be a better results The updated version of Apple’s tablet aimed at ‘professionals’ is a stunning piece of kit. ![]()
