iPad Pro 10.5 vs Apple Newton - 24 Years of Tablets

Who are you who is Newton? Newton is spontaneous, oh yeah, about as intelligence. My doorknob Newton is world. What does that even mean you're allowed to take it to Paris soon, as friendly Newton is like your guardian angel, always looking for ways to help you out Newton talks to fax machines and laser printers, the telephones and computers? Newton is a great communicator. Newton is for all you mobile professionals out there you, like cool stuff, it's true I've, never felt cooler than when I've used. This piece of thank you, lots of guys everything, Apple Pro here and here's a video I've had planned for a very long time. I've been waiting for Apple to release their newest I'm pad and I wanted to compare it to the very first tablets offering from Apple a lot of you guys won't even remember what this is.

But this is the Apple Newton tablet. It was introduced 24 years ago in August 1993. Let's go ahead and take a look already. Let's get this guy in box I'm, so excited to see it as I've. Never actually seen one of these in person, and this is about thirty years later.

History has been remade completely, and this is actually the first edition of the tablet ever, so it's the first model number period all right here. She is in the original case, all right, let's pop her out and there it is that is pretty compact, but at the same time super chunky I mean it's got a lot of thickness to it. These guys couldn't be any more different when it comes to materials. This is plastic versus glass and aluminum, high quality design on the newer one, of course, on the old one, cheap, but incredibly durable. You can drop it as many times as you'd like, and it's going to survive the apocalypse even on the front, you'll find a very sharp 336 by 240 pixel display, surrounded by a chunky, black plastic border.

The new one of course looks much sleeker getting to this battery bay is not easy. It's a lot of suffering in here pop that opens get some Energizer's in here looks pretty corroded I mean this thing has been sitting in storage for decades. So, alright, that ready, let's go ahead and pop it in here. This is definitely not the apple of modern times. This is so frustrating without instructions.

It's like so difficult to put this battery in here. I cannot figure out how to do this slide it in pop it in it's really freaking hard that took way too. Damn long here is a backup battery. Let's get that squared away back when devices needed one of these. That's crazy.

Alright, let's go ahead and see if we can get some power out of this guy, so we've got data transfer port, so man, that's crazy and the power plug here, I'm guessing I'm. Guessing that's for rechargeable batteries made in Japan Wow. Alright! Here we go three two one and nothing it works. I had to click the reset button on the back, but it's actually booting upholding you in pen in the center on the X until it darkens and then lift the pen. So here is our Apple Pencil 1993 edition: it's got the Apple logo.

There too super needs. Alright, let's do some calibration here. So this is a resistive touchscreen. These are absolutely awful to work with on a daily I. Don't know how people did it back in the day we are so blessed with our fancy.

Capacitive displays compared to the Apple Pencil, certainly a little shorter here, a little thinner, no battery built in no special sensors and the tip is a little even more precise than the current Apple Pencil, which is interesting. So a little comparison. If we were there but hey, this thing is actually on actually working resetting it to do the trick so wow, that's crazy. This is the very, very first model too. So if you actually look up the model numbers BC, gas 1000, the first one, so let's see what it can do, I believe these things were pretty sophisticated for their time.

To be honest, they had a handwriting detection. So let's get into some details on these guys, starting with the display, of course, on the Apple Newton color didn't really exist on the display. It was a very low resolution, 336 by 240 pixels, with a resistive touchscreen. Basically, a combination of everything that makes a touchscreen terrible. It's absolutely no surprise, as Steve Jobs despised this thing and killed it's just as soon as he returned to Apple.

So here's a difference that 24 years makes in displace here's about the size of the Apple Newton. If we scale it down on the iPad Pro 10.5 inch it'll fit in that tiny little corner. In fact, this is how many you can fit on the actual display, a massive 48 times. I mean the resolution is one thing we now have 120 Hertz promotion display true tone. Color you've got actual color on the display multi-touch with your fingers.

There are so many improvements here and getting to the actual specs. Here you had a fancy 20 megahertz processor, made by an RM 640 kilobytes of RAM and a worth about $110072 right now. In comparison, we get this thing at a bargain for six hundred and fifty dollars with exponentially multiplied specs. So lets gets actually using this thing in day-to-day tasks. At the time the reviews were pretty decent.

It's the handwriting recognition that was pretty awful. So let's do some find hello. Can it detect that? Oh, it did look at that. It literally just spelled out to what I wrote. That's awesome, apples first, virtual on-screen keyboard for a touch device.

That is incredible, alright, see if you oh, that is absolutely terrible detection. Can you are okay? There we go so if you do write a little more precisely, it can't figure it out. Look at that! That's actually pretty cool, oh, no, not rear known and then name's, oh. So this is like a name book here, and I have no idea who's. These are so Apple even had sort of little apps like these back in the day, I've got a calculator here.

Even the new iPad doesn't even have a calculator built in. So this is quite a nice feature to have. Let's test that it works, looks like it does: cool battery full battery we've got contrast. This thing actually has a speaker in it interesting how do I get to the apps alright. So after using this thing for a little while I've come to the realization that there really isn't much on it, it's essentially what it says right here.

Our message pad, you use it to take notes. You can send emails, though so that's kind of a neat if you're connected to the Internet via the cables here. So that's a possibility. You can make folders for notes, but extras. There's not much.

You can do in here. I think there is a web access, but I don't know what It's going to be like. If it's just for email, there are no games, no extras! No apps! You can get extra applications, though, and the app store comes in the form of a card up here. So up top here, you'll find a little latch go ahead and unlatch it, and you can pop down, and this card will come out so much like the Wi-Fi cards and old laptops. This is your app before the App Store.

You would have to preload your own apps into this guy or whatever you want it to do, and then you would find the card right here and this would be the certain application for it. So, after doing some brief research here turns out, there were multiple accessories for the cards. You can use additional RAM additional storage. A floppy disk adapter network adapters, even a Wi-Fi antenna adapter, so there were some expansions that were possible using that card port, but without it, I wasn't much. You can really do.

You can take notes, use the calculator. Some formulas check the time, there's a very, very basic device. So, although at the time I guess it was kind of sophisticated, you can sit in an office and look smart, taking notes on your digital device getting frustrated with it too not being able to type correctly. But in truth there wasn't too much that you can do. I, don't even know what this speaker is for.

How can I possibly activate it's here? I really, don't know, I think it's just for maybe sound effects for error effects stuff, like that. There's a cool calendar app as well in the dates over here. So you can go ahead and jump to it. Real quick check your calendar, see if you're free for that's meeting on Monday night, so for 1993, not terrible here, and this guy did receive software updates as well as you can see, I'm on version 1.3 here, so Apple kept that legacy alive by updating with new features fixes and so on. It just absolutely blows my mind that, 24 years later after release of these devices, this is what we have advised so sleek, so thin, so good-looking and one that works so incredibly.

Well, the display uses your fingers as inputs. The responsiveness is absolutely insane. The power of this is incredible: the RAM the battery life, everything just improvements in every single way and who knew at the time that this was release that this would be what we were using today, something so sophisticated. It seems like it's far from in the future this guy at the time, though Wow using it living with it, would be quite the pain as the resistive touchscreen display is not easy to work with. It's got the stylus that Steve Jobs did not like so quite interesting.

The contrast between these devices and just a couple tidbits for you, one of the things that helps that main of the Apple Newton happen is the stylus Steve Jobs hated them. It's funny that Apple brought them back for the newer iPads, but they actually have so much purpose now, and I couldn't see myself using one without one there's also the leather cases. Apple was always a fan of those even for the Apple Newton. There was one and now the one for the iPad Pro 10.5 is great. I love the apples keeping that heritage alive, so there it is guys the progress 24 years makes so, although Apple did make huge improvements in the CPU GPU storage, the display is actually not that far ahead.

The resolution, although it is good, could be better and I. Think Apple will be improving that with time, it's just crazy to look back twenty-four years, it's a little over two decades. Although Apple has been working on this thing for exactly thirty years, they didn't release it until 1993. So hope you guys enjoyed this really if you're using an iPad nowadays. This is what happened before it.

This is what Apple had to go through to bring you the product you have now, and I'm, so appreciative of all of that progress, so guys thanks for watching there, it is the Apple Newton 24 years later. It cannot believe people actually use this thing in day-to-day life. It's just crazy have a great day guys enjoy your iPad peace.
