iPad pro hands on review

Hello and welcome to this iPad Pro

hands-on review. Why is it called a

hands-on review? Because I'm holding it in

my hands whilst reviewing it. I bought

this iPad about 5 weeks ago, so I think I

have quite a lot of experience using the

iPad, and now I can make that into a video

to tell people about my experience using

it. And this is the 64GB storage

version, the cheapest version, cost me

about £750, and I got it in Space Gray.

It's a very nice-looking model.

I have to say, the design of the new iPads

are very nice, very nice design here.

It just looks very sleek and very

stylish. I also got the Apple Pencil,

which costs about £100, and I also got the

official Apple Smart Folio case.

Which cost about £80. So all in all,

around £1,000, maybe £900.

I don't know, you have to add it all up

yourself. I'm not good at maths. Yeah,

it's pretty expensive, but you get a very

nice product for the money. So I wanted to

make a video to try and make some ad

revenue to get, get back some money that I

spent on the device by using the device to

make a video. Hopefully I'll make a couple

dollars. I don't usually make that much

money on this channel, but whatever, I'll

give it a try. So here's my iPad Pro. As

you can see, I have quite a few apps on

the 64GB version. Doesn't sound like a lot

of storage, but you do actually get quite

a lot of storage. You can actually put

quite a lot of apps onto it. I have Google

Translate, spreadsheet app, Facebook app,

um, what else do I have? Airbnb,

Chrome, Safari. Now when I was thinking

about getting the iPad Pro, I was a little

bit skeptical at first. I thought, why,

why would I want to get an iPad Pro? It's

just basically a very big iPhone, isn't

it? And I have my iPhone over here,

and as you can see, it is basically just a

very big iPhone if you turn it this way so

it's portrait mode. It kind of looks like

it just kind of looks like a really big

iPad— I mean, a really big iPhone. And I

thought, what would be the point of

getting an iPad when I could just use my

iPhone? And that's completely

understandable why you'd be thinking that.

And I can honestly tell you that it is

nothing like using an iPhone. Yeah,

it's fundamentally the same as an iPhone.

It doesn't do many different things to the

iPhone. There's not really much you can do

on the iPad that the iPhone doesn't do.

But because it's a bigger screen, the way

you use it and the way it feels when you

use it just feels completely different. I

use this iPad more than I use anything

else now. I have over there, I have a

gaming laptop which I never use anymore

because it's just more comfortable to use

the iPad. I don't use my phones that much

I don't use them as much as I used to

because I always go straight to the iPad.

It's just more comfortable. You can sit

back in your chair with your iPad on your

lap, tapping here and tapping there. With

the gaming laptop, it's just way too

heavy. You, you need a surface, a table to

put it on. But with the iPad, you can just

sit back and relax. Phones, the screens on

phones, they're a bit too small for using,

using for long times, long periods of

times. I feel like the iPad just fits in

between the iPhone— I mean, the smartphone

and the laptop— fits right in between

there very nicely. And it's not too big,

it's not too small, it's not too heavy,

and it's powerful enough to do pretty much

everything. It's like the Goldilocks bowl

of porridge. It's, it's very good.

I guess the main thing that the iPad Pro

can do that the iPhone can't do is

multitasking. And let me show you the

multitasking, it's very impressive. You

can do split-screen apps, and let me show

you. So I have Safari opened up here, and

then if you swipe up from the bottom, you

have a row of apps, apps you can choose to

put down there. And then you just drag an

app and then you move it to the side like

this, or, or this side. You can move it to

either side and it will open

up side by side. And And you can change

the proportions, so you can have 50/50

split, or you can have a 75/25 split like

this. It's very smooth. Look how smooth it

is. Windows can also do this, and I've

tried this on the Microsoft Surface Pro in

the shop, and they also have this similar

split-screen thing, but it just feels so

janky and laggy and slow. And on

the Microsoft Surface Pro, when you're

doing this, when you're sliding it left

and right, it's all stuttery and it's all

laggy and it feels horrible. But on the

iPad, it's buttery smooth. Look at that,

it just slides left to right so,

so smoothly. So you

can have an app on the left and then an

app on the right. You can also have 2

tabs. If you want to get rid of the app,

you just slide it off, off the screen and

it goes away. You can also have 2 Safari

apps and side by side. I can't remember

how to do it. Let me see. Okay, I found

out how to do it. So what you do is you

just long tap on a tab and then pull it

down and then drag it to the side, and

then it'll open up 2 tabs side by side.

It's pretty cool.

So you can have 2 apps side by side or 2

tabs, and you can even do it in portrait

mode. Oh, you can't actually.

That's weird. When you put it into

portrait mode, the second tab disappears.

So I guess you can't have 2 apps, 2 tabs

side by side when you're doing portrait

mode. But you can have 2 apps side by

side. For example, you can have the

calculator app and Safari, but it looks

weird when you do it portrait mode. It's

like a really long smartphone. It's better

in landscape mode. So I could be on I

don't know, I could be on Safari and then

I could be doing calculations on the side.

And there's also a third way to do

multitasking. So you have 2 apps here,

you can also have a third app. Look, I can

drag another app, and then if you hover it

here, not, not right to the side, but kind

of here on the side.

Oh wait, I did it wrong.

Okay, I found out how to do it. So you

have to close down the split screen thing

for apps, and then you just drag an app

around here, and then it opens up like a

pop-up window, and then you can drag it

around left to right, and you can make it

go away and then make it come back, make

it go away, make it come back. It's really

cool. And then you can also do split

screen apps. So where's Um,

something I can show. I just opened Chrome

and there was a naked woman with her legs

spread out. Good job I didn't show you

that. So here I have the calculator app

here, and then I have Safari here, and

then I can also slide, slide out, swipe

out the App Store, which is hovering

above. So you can actually have 3 apps

open at the same time for multitasking.

It's quite impressive. I don't use it, to

be honest. Okay, I use the slide-out thing

sometimes for Messenger. It's quite good,

but I, I never use the split-screen app

thing. I just don't really feel the need

for it, but it's nice to know that you can

do it if you do need it. I can imagine—

oh wait, I could imagine doing this. I

guess this could be a good way of using

it. So you could be doing spreadsheets

here, and then you could be doing

calculations here. I don't really ever do

calculations, so it's not very useful for

me. So you could have your spreadsheet

open here or your Word document, and then

you could have Safari here doing research.

I don't do anything complicated like that,

so it's not very useful for me personally.

But if you are the kind of person who does

things like that, then you can do it on

the iPad Pro. And the Smart Case is very

good. It's completely magnetic, so you

don't have to clip in your iPad into the—

those plastic corner things. You just

place it on And it attaches magnetically.

It's really strong, so it doesn't fall

off. And it's a very nice looking cover.

And then you can use it as a stand as

well, like this, so you can do drawing

on it. Da da da doing. Oh wait,

I didn't know you could do that. Huh?

Wait, so if if it's locked and you get

your pen pencil and then you tap it. Wow,

I didn't know you could do that. It opens

up a notepad. That's pretty cool.

I had no idea you could do that.

How do you close it?

So anyone can use it. You don't have to

enter the passcode or your Face ID to be

able to do that. So anyone could just pick

up your Apple Pencil and then tap the

screen It doesn't work when you tap your

finger. See? Wow, I didn't know that.

See, you learn something new all the time.

And then you can do drawing, and it feels

really nice to do drawing.

You can also do notes, I guess.

You can, um, you can write swear words.

That's always fun.

And, um, what else should I show you? I

don't know, what do you want to see? Let

me know. The Apple Pencil is very cool.

If you tap it twice here, it switches

between— can you see down there? It's

switching between eraser and the pen.

So you just tap it twice and you can

switch between different tools, which is

very useful. Otherwise, you would have to

keep tapping down here and then tapping

down there and then tapping down here,

tapping down there. Now you just tap the

pen, and it's pretty good. Very nice pen.

My name is Daniel.

I suppose it's good if you want to take

quick notes, you know, you're standing

around and then you have an idea and

then you quickly tap it here and you write

some notes. Yeah, you can

also play games on it. I recently got this

racing game which, uh, is doing

a tutorial right now. Press to steer.

Okay, looks like quite a good game.

Graphics are very nice, not quite up to my

standards. Sorry about that, I just kind

of hiccupped. Not quite up to my

standards, but they're still very

impressive graphics. And there's a lot of

games on it, a lot of PC games like

Darkest Dungeon, XCOM, Final Fantasy.

Uh, what else?

Why is it telling me to hold it when it's

driving me into the stupid wall? I hate

tutorials. I'm not stupid. I know how to

drift and brake.

My favorite game on the iPad right now is

Darkest Dungeon. I could show you that in

a minute. This game is actually quite fun.

It's like a ripoff of Mario Kart.

Here we have Darkest Dungeon on the iPad,

which is actually a lot of fun. I didn't

think it'd be so much fun because usually

I don't like turn-based strategy

role-playing games, but I really like it.

You get a team of adventurers,

and then you basically make them enter a

dungeon and they fight monsters and they

level up and get gear. This is Darkest

Dungeon on the iPad.

Looks very nice, very fun game. I like the

voice acting.

In time you will know the tragic extent.

In time you will know the tragic extent.

Magic Extinction of my failings. Yeah, I

can't, I can't do his voice. His voice

sounds very epic. I have a few other

games. This War of Mine, Vainglory, 8 Ball

Pool, that's quite fun. XCOM: Enemy

Within. So yeah, there's a lot of good

games on the iPad as well. I would even

say that the iPad is a better gaming

device than the Nintendo Switch. I might

make a video about that actually. It's

quite a good topic, I think. I've had a

Switch before, and I prefer this iPad for

gaming over the Switch. I'm gonna make

this into a different video because I

think it's a good topic. There's other

apps like, um, you have your bog-standard

calendar. That's pretty useful.

2015, what was I doing then? Oh, I went to

France and Norway with my ex-Korean

girlfriend. She was quite good in bed.

2005, 2004, I was just a little boy back

then. 2000, 1988, I wasn't

even born. So you can have a lot of fun on

the calendar app. There's also a camera

that's pretty fun to use, quite a good

camera.

Hello, that's me. I haven't had a shower

I don't usually look like that though.

Yeah, I think the camera is pretty good,

very nice quality. Picture quality is very

nice. It's also very good for watching

YouTube. If you want to do this pop-up

window thing, you can't do it from the

YouTube app. You have to go onto Safari.

Open up YouTube in Safari desktop mode and

then go full screen on the video, and then

there's a little pop-up icon.

You press that and then it pops up the

video like this, so you can watch YouTube

whilst doing other things. Maybe you're,

you're doing some notes and you want to

watch YouTube up here. You can make it

bigger like this, make it smaller, and you

can also slide it off to the side to hide

it, and it moves down up and down anywhere

like this, and then you just bring it

back, enlarge it, close it down.

You can pause it, close it down, make it

bigger again, move it to the side. So what

I like to do is sometimes I like to be

watching YouTube. I just have it playing

up here in the corner whilst I'm— whilst

I'm trying to draw. I'm not sure why it's

not doing any— oh, I have the eraser

equipped. So I'm just drawing or taking

notes making notes and I'm listening to

YouTube, watching it up in the corner like

this. It works pretty well. It's very nice

and smooth. It never crashes. It hasn't

crashed or had any bugs,

had any weird glitches, not even once

since I've been using it. So that's nice.

So that is the end of my iPad Pro review.

I think I've shown off the best features

of it, and I've given, given you a good

look at the device.

I'm not sure what else you'd want from an

iPad review. I think it was a pretty

well-made video. Oh, the Apple Pencil,

that clips onto the top magnetically as

well. Very nice. Sometimes I

just sit here clipping it on and off.

It's quite satisfying. Yeah, that's my

iPad Pro review. Let me know if you

enjoyed it. Let me know how I could

improve my future tech reviews because I

want to do more. I might get a Surface Pro

to compare it to the iPad Pro, but I think

the iPad Pro is going to be way better.

Anyway, I'm going to have lunch now.
