Apple released a new nine point: seven inch version of the iPad Pro it's an effort to reinvigorate tablet sales, while offering additional features not ever seen on a tablet before, but is it worth your money in this episode? I explain why this is one of the best tablets you can buy. Let's peel the iPad Pro hey guys, welcome to bleeding edge TV I'm Andre Edwards Lister, the show that brings you news and reviews through the eyes of gearlive. com, and today, I've got the new iPad Pro nine point. Seven inch model right here, we're gonna, be doing a deep dive on the new iPad Pro grab. Some popcorn grab yourself a drink, and I'm gonna. Tell you all about this model right here.

It's mid-sized, it's the mid-tier, but it may just be the new flagship once again, and I'm actually going to want you guys to help me out with this review, and you can do that over on product peel comm, which will allow you to join in with me and incorporate your thoughts and opinions on this device as well. You can find out more at product peel, calm. The site is invite-only right now, but I do have a bunch of invite codes so hit the link below, and I'll get you with. So any questions you might have from me about the device. After watching your review or any questions you might be able to answer about the iPad Pro again join me over on product peel comm.

All right now, let's jump into the review, starting with the hardware Apple unveiled. The iPad Pro at a recent event were also released. The iPhone SD both devices actually have similar philosophies. They take the power found in the larger form, factor and shrink it down to fit into a more manageable size for portability. In other words, the nine point seven-inch iPad Pro takes the a9x chip set found in the larger model and brings it to the smaller form factor, which makes the nine point seven-inch, iPad Pro almost as fast as its larger counterpart and much faster than the iPad Air 2.

The 64-bit, an onyx chip is so powerful that it allows the iPad to do tasks that previously only PCs could do yet remains super efficient, doing its job without draining your battery, if you're, using just one app at a time in order to check and send email, I message, Twitter and Facebook updates, and even things like photo editing, you're going to feel the speed and not see any hiccups. In fact, even when multitasking, with the slide over pane or running two apps side by side and split-screen, the iPad never faltered, and the speed felt great. So what about more? Intense apps games like Warhammer, 40,000 and Ag Drive did their thing without a hiccup and I even rendered a small 4k clip as well using iMovie, which processed faster than any other nine point. Seven-inch iPad that Apple's ever released. It's such a big difference in power that it's just plain noticeable.

You get things done faster and more efficiently and with less frustration. Okay, so with all that performance power, you're, probably wondering what's up with the battery, though Apple has always prided itself on saying that every iPad it's ever released gets a minimum of 10 hours of battery life, the iPad Air 2 iPads, Mini 4 and the iPad Pro 12 point 9 inches each beat this mark and actually the iPad Mini 4 obliterates it. Unfortunately, with the nine point, seven-inch iPad Pro I was only able to get nine hours and 30 minutes out of the battery with my testing method, which is basically playing HD videos non-stop back to back with the screen set to 50% brightness, they don't get me wrong. That's still a lot of screens on time and personally, it isn't a big deal to me, but it's still something that should be noted. Luckily, not everyone uses their iPad for hours along Netflix sessions and when using it normally for things like email, YouTube, music, streaming gaming and all that the iPad Pro would last me three or four days before needing to be charged again.

You also get the for speaker configuration found in this larger sibling, rather than the two speaker setup found on previous models. In the nine point, seven inch size as far as sound quality goes. The iPad Pro is pretty good. Actually it's great. It's got four speakers, one in each corner of the device and the way that they worked is no matter which way you're holding the iPad.

So if you're holding it this way, the tops are gonna, be your highs than the bottom they're going to be your lows, then you switch orientations like this. These two speakers become your highs and the bottom to once again become your low frequencies, so it switches on the fly, depending on how you're holding the iPad to optimize the sound for the best listening experience for the way you're holding the device and the volume is also great as well previous iPads have been pretty bad at sound volume. All the way from the original iPad, your iPad 2, 3 4, even the air and air to the sound, was OK on the air and air too, but it doesn't compare to this 4 speaker setup. It's really nice, and the sound can really get nice and loud. You also get that thin form factor measuring in at 6.1 millimeters and weighing 0.96 pounds. What you don't get is the 4 gigabytes of RAM found on the original iPad Pro with a nine point: seven inch model, you get two gigabytes, which is the same as what you'll get.

If you pick up an iPad Air 2. In my findings, though, the difference is very negligible for most users in some ways the smaller newer Pro is more impressive than the larger model. So, let's peel into those differences. For starters, it has the 12 megapixel rear camera, with F 2.2 lens that you'll find on the iPhone 6s. It's the first time that the current year iPad has the same camera as that year's iPhone.

So what you have here is a 12 megapixel iSight camera that can capture 4k video. It also does 240 frames per second slo-mo videos and can capture live photos as well? It's also the first iPad to sport, a flash, and it's a two-tone flash brought over from the iPhone 6s that matches the lighting environment and skin tones in your picture. iPad pro sports, a 5 megapixel FaceTime HD camera with retina flash with true tone. That just means it uses the screen itself to act as a flash and the true tone portion of that means. It will use just the right color of light to match your environment to keep things looking natural again.

These are the best cameras to ever ship on an iPad, they'll capture, videos and photos hat just as high-quality as the newest iPhones, and that means Apple's going all-in on tablet. Photography, as with Apple's flagship, smartphone you'll get the antenna bump on back, but seriously it isn't a big deal at all. The plastic LTE band. That's been a mainstay since the original iPad has gone on the smaller Pro replaced by iPhone like antenna bands. As far as the rest of the device from a hardware perspective, you get the power button-up top the three pin smart connector on the left for accessories and a 27.5 watt hour battery on the inside there's a lot of power here and as such, you can expect to pay a premium. The iPad Pro starts at $599, and that gets you 32 gigabytes of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity.

There are also 128 gigabytes and 256 gigabyte models as well, which cost an extra 150 and 300 dollars, respectively, ad cellular capabilities- and you add another $130 to the price. The ones I'm testing in this video are feature packed: rose-gold LTE model with 256 gigabytes of storage, which retails for 1029, as well as a Space, Gray, 128 gigabytes, LTE model, which sells for eight hundred $79 big shout-out to AT&T. Here in Seattle, for sending over the Space Gray unit that were using for comparison. As you can see, you get two choices of color for the front of the device. If you choose gold rose gold or silver, you get a white bezel on front.

If you want the black bezel. Instead, you have to opt for the Space Gray color on got your nine point. Seven inch Retina display, of course, staple of the iPad since the very beginning. The display on the iPad Pro was amazing, I'll peel into this further. In order to explain why I love the screen so much, it's a nine point.

Seven-inch, LED Retina display with a 2048 by 1536 resolution, matching the resolution of all the previous nine point. Seven-inch iPads with Retina displays that's down from the 2732 by 2048 resolution of the larger I've had Pro, but it's the same pixel density. What's changed is that you now get support for the p3 color gamut, which is a standard that can show 25% greater color saturation and is used widely in the cinema industry. It's the same spec that can be found on the newest, 4k and 5k. iMac displays the displays also brighter by about 100 nits, which makes it better when in direct sunlight and speaking of which Apple says, they've also made the screen 40 percent less reflective, which is another nice touch for anyone who likes to use their iPad outdoors.

Now the best new feature about the iPad Pro 9 point: seven-inch tablets display is true tone. Let me tell you what that is. What this does are use the for ambient light sensors that are embedded into the front of the iPad, which allows it to recognize the color temperature of the light in the room or environment that you're in then, the display will match that color temperature in order to make it look more natural. The idea here is that if you take a white piece of paper into a room with more yellowish light, that white piece of paper will take on a more yellow hue, if you take that same exact piece of paper into another room with bright fluorescent lighting, it'll take on a more bluish tone. Of course, you can toggle this off if you're doing work.

That requires accurate color representation like image. Editing or color grading for all other times, though it's a nice feature to have, and it does make a genuine difference as it pertains to eye strain all right now, let's peel into the accessories that make the iPad Pro and iPad Pro Apple products have a huge accessory ecosystem, especially iOS devices, so instead we're focusing specifically on the two pro accessories that Apple makes for the iPad Pro line, those being the Apple Pencil and the smart Keyboard. So let start with a pen, so the Apple Pencil works just as nicely on the nine point: seven-inch iPad Pro as it does on the twelve point. Nine inch model, in fact for someone like me, who isn't an artist by any stretch of the imagination, I find the Apple Pencil works better for me with a smaller iPad Pro tablet, because it feels closer to a piece of paper and less like a canvas almost like carrying around a clipboard. Now, if that's you, if you're also not an artist, then you may find the same experience.

If you are an artist, would love to draw and wants as much space as possible to do it. Then the larger device might be more your style, the Apple Pencil sells for 99 bucks, then there's a smart keyboard, since the iPad itself is smaller, Apple released a smaller smart keyboard for the iPad Pro nine point, seven inch model, which makes sense. However, this means that the keys and overall space on the keyboard are smaller, making it more cramped to type on. This was actually my biggest fear out of everything on the nine point, seven inch model because I love the smart Keyboard experience on the larger model, and it didn't want something that would be uncomfortable to type on. Luckily, it just took a minute or two before I was flying on the smaller keyboard.

From a mechanical perspective, the devices are the same. They connected the iPad Pro by way of the smart connector on the left side of the device which feeds power to the keyboard, in fact, to prove that they're, exactly the same and I mean the two different sized keyboards I was able to use the smaller keyboard with the larger iPad Pro and a larger keyboard, with the smaller iPad Pro with no problems. Of course, it did look pretty ridiculous, but hey it's an iPad hack if you want a fuller keyboard, but the smaller iPad Pro just buy the more expensive and larger keyboard. And, alternatively, if you have a larger iPad Pro and when I've saved some money on the keyboard, just buy the smaller model, smart keyboard sells for $149 for the smaller iPad Pro and 179 for the larger model, and there you have it guys. We've peeled through the new nine point, seven-inch, iPad Pro taking a deep dive.

Look at the hardware how it fits into my everyday life based on my usage patterns, I'd love to hear about your thoughts on Apple's flagship tablet as well, and you can do that over on products.

My final verdict, though, if you're in the market for a new tablet, it's hard to go wrong with choosing the iPad Pro 9.7 inch. If you don't need anything bigger forget about the pro monocore, don't let that confuse you just enjoy it for what it is. The best tablet that Apple has ever made. You can pick up the iPad Pro nine point: seven inch model, starting at five for the 32 gigabyte version, 749 for the hundred twenty-eight gigabyte model and 899 for 256 gigabytes.
