The best forecasts have been fulfilled and at last we can bring you the good news that the new iPad Pro it's official now. How has the new professional tablet of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),? Have you got everything it takes to become the best tablet of 2017? This is all that the Cupertino people have told us about him so far.
The iPad Pro 10.5 is now a reality
There have been no surprises, but the confirmation that the new iPad Pro will arrive with a larger screen than its predecessor, just as we expected, going from 9.7 inches to 10.5 inches. And as some renderings had already shown us, some smaller frames (they are 40% thinner) have made this possible without any major change in size.
A bigger screen, and better image quality, also for the 12.9-inch model
La screen of the new tablet of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), has received a lot of attention and not only because of its new size, but also because, how could it be otherwise, Apple has continued working to improve image quality and, not only will the new iPad Pro 10.5, but also that of 12.9 inches- Color gamut has been increased, reflections have been reduced, and brightness has been increased to 600 nits (which means 50% higher).
And we cannot fail to mention a feature that the apple company has called ProMotion, and that means that the refresh rate will be 120 Hz. This is not only interesting in itself, but has also allowed interesting improvements for the Apple PencilIf Microsoft told us that its new Surface Pen had reduced its latency to 21 ms, now the official stylus has taken it to 20 ms.
The A10X will be the engine
Another novelty that we took for granted and that has been confirmed, is an update in the performance section, thanks to the A10X, and if the numbers of the A9X were already impressive, his successor can boast of having a performance a 30% higher when it comes to CPU and 40% as far as the GPU is concerned. The new Apple chip arrives, in addition, replicating the big.LITTLE architecture popularized by Exynos processors, with a CPU of 6 nuclei, 3 of them high performance and 3 for minor tasks, which helps to maintain the same great autonomy that we already discovered in its predecessor.
Spectacular cameras
As much as the usefulness of having large cameras in our tablets is questioned, the truth is that in the high-end there are a few manufacturers that are totally committed to bringing them almost to the level of the best smartphones, and Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), is one of them: the new iPad Pro arrives with a main camera of 12 MP with OIS and aperture f / 1.8 and a front camera of 7 MP.
More storage capacity
Another section in which Apple tablets have not stopped improving their figures in recent times, and without a doubt it is something that is appreciated lacking a micro-SD card slot, and especially in a professional tablet, is the ability to storage: not long ago we saw that the tablets of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), they finally made the jump to 32 GB and now the new iPad Pro arrives, in the basic model, with nothing less than 64 GB. It should also be noted that the top has finally made the jump to the 512 GB, something essential to bring it closer to the best Windows tablets.
Without forgetting the improvements that iOS 11 brings
In the presentation of the iPad Pro itself, they have taken a moment to talk about it in conjunction with iOS 11, which has not surprised us much either because from the first moment we have speculated that this could be the reason that they both took the stage at the same time. Indeed, as we have seen, there are many new features in the next update of the mobile operating system of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), designed to improve the experience of use, almost as important as hardware, such as the application bar, the function drag and drop, the new app Files and the improvements made to the Apple Pencil. It is to be hoped that with all of them there will be an important advance in the section on multitask.
Price and release date
How much is it going to cost us to get hold of the new Apple tablet? Well, we have bad news and it is that the new iPad Pro 10.5 it will be a bit more expensive than its predecessor, although perhaps it should not surprise us, because whenever the screens grow on a tablet, the price goes up: the basic model with Wi-FI connection will cost $729, which would mean 50 euros more. If we want to go up to 256 GB, it is put at 829 euros and the new version of 512 GB reaches 1050 euros. The renewed iPad Pro 12.9, for its part, will remain in the 899 euros. The delivery date that appears on the web is the 13 June. The version with 512 GB would cost in this case $1219.
