Hey What's up here and this is the new m1 iPad pro it looks almost exactly the same as the last one that's because if the screen's not on it almost is the same as the last one but there are a couple things that are new about this that make it even more of the ultimate iPad which again naturally raises the question of like well what is an iPad anyway and what is a computer I'll get to that later so the last iPad pro wasn't that long ago you can watch the review from last year but in short it had an a12z chip and that was a specs bump from the previous iPad pro which had an a12x now of course there were other small bits and things that made last year's iPad new but now again in 2021 we have an even more powerful chip so this iPad pro has apple's m1 inside now the a12x and a12z were already apple designed silicon for the iPad so while we know m1 is a different breed since it's also apple designed silicon it'd be tempting to think maybe that's not that big of a jump like those chips were made for the iPad how good could m1 be that'd be wrong this is a massive performance leap forward m1 in this new iPad pro means that now internally this tablet is basically the same as the m1 MacBook air a full-blown computer that means an 8-core CPU 8 core GPU 16 core neural engine and for the first time apple is just openly telling us how much ram is in the iPad so that's 8 gigs in the lower storage versions and 16 gigs of ram in the one terabyte or the new two terabyte iPad configurations 16 gigs of ram in an iPad so it turns out yeah this thing flies again through iPad so I'm sure it's shocking to you that an even more powerful even faster chip continues to crush iPad so in its latest version but there's a couple other like specific unique ways I've noticed this first of all even the heaviest most graphically demanding apps that I use are snappy and blazing fast that's probably also as you'd expect but also with all this ram and this is a one terabyte iPad so it has 16 gigs of ram it really seems like nothing ever needs to drop from memory it's kind of wild like we're already used to a bunch of the most recent apps staying in ram on the iPad and that's great, this is a new display which I'll get to but also a little bit of a bigger battery physically speaking in this bigger one so would you look at that apple making a product slightly thicker for a slightly bigger battery nice the cellular option which I'm holding is also now 5g which is pretty sweet so now in addition to the antenna bands the cellular iPad now has this little plastic cutout at the bottom next to the speakers just like the 5g iPhones have on the sides and that USB-c port at the bottom now that there's an m1 chip inside is now a thunderbolt port with USB 4 speeds up to 40 gigabits per second throughput which is massive so talk about the quad speakers are still super loud and sound great the microphones are still awesome the body is still all metal same design and the dual cameras plus LIDAR are still here on the back and still great for a tablet plus actually the m1 chip now allows for smart hdr3 from the rear cameras for all you iPad photographers out there please don't uh but then again iPad OS is still iPad OS which to me really gets me thinking that the iPad OS 15 update that's coming up has got to be a pretty significant change to what we have now in iPad OS 14.5 like it's got to be right but there's been some rumors floating around now about some pretty big home screen changes widgets being able to drop anywhere on any home screen and maybe some more significant multitasking improvements on the iPad, So finally this iPad is better then old iPads.
