Apple Shares New Videos Highlighting What You Can Do With an iPad Pro

This is great, but you can do all this stuff with the budget iPad as well.
Apple need to start delivering on this "Pro" moniker and release some "Pro" apps which actually take advantage of the power of the device (and price tag).

 

Neat! Love mine. Takes time to get used to it, but it’s worth it.

 

I love how they always show these super basic tasks and think its a computer replacement. Writing a word, adding a picuture etc. is not really PRO nor doesn't show how really "computer replacement" it really is. As mentioned, all that could be done on budget iPad.

Maybe Apple is targeting grandmas and grandpas :-D

 

Yeah I would love to see Logic Pro X on the iPad.

 

Why didn't they showcase saving and organising documents.

Oh wait.

 

And more to the point you can do all that stuff with a Surface device and have the benefit of full desktop compatibility, superb collaboration tools, excellent cloud integration and a real file manager.........

 

My iPad Pro is a super expensive reader and note-taking device. It is great at that, but hardly a computer replacement and Apple probably could have built something that works just as well for half the price.

 

Starting at $800 you can get a dent in your wallet and bent in your device! /s

 

Feel free to use mine too, Apple.

 

Looks like they are presenting a toy for people pretending they do actual work.

 

The straight iPad at the beginning of the ads triggered me.

 

Better than the iPad on iOS 11 videos though...

 

They should fix iOS instead, so that two documents can be opened side-by-side, and external drives can be connected.

 

I create 3D scenes in Cinema 4D using a GPU-accelerated renderer. I guess I could, er... use an iPad Pro to watch the animation afterwards.

 

I have the last generation iPad pro, it is super fast but I only use it to read books and take notes. I use it a couple times a week, but I use my MacBook Pro every single day. If the iPad ever wants to replace my laptop, I need it to be able to run Xcode, have a true file system, and be a complete development machine. I don't understand how Apple can sell the iPad pro as a "pro machine" if you can't even create iPad apps on it? Right now, my iPad feels like a race car in a 20 mph school zone, it has awesome hardware and potential but there is very little software that can actually take advantage of it. Until Apple makes Logic, Final Cut, Xcode and other actual "pro apps" for the iPad, I will always consider the iPad as a tool and not a "pro machine".

 

My grandma's $50 Android phone she bought at Walgreens has a user accessible file system and a $800+ "Pro" device doesn't?

 

new way not to be able to save your file.

 

Have you guys used iOS? I am able to save work on my Mac and see it, modify it, and move it on my iPad. Some work included notes (notability, notes app, Pages/Word) and programming (python and C++ code) among other things. iOS already has pretty great file management. Can it be improved. Oh god yes but let’s not be dumb here.

I’ve both programmed and up kept a server on my iPad. But I’m sure that ain’t “work”

 

Bend it enough and it could be a chic hat.

 

If you did it on an iPad then no, it was not work was it.

 

My new iPad Pro 11 suffered from spontaneous Display Screen Crack. No impact, no fall, no bend. Out of nowhere a hairline in from edge to edge in a corner. Luckily in the first 2 weeks, so i just return it. Anyone else noticing such strange damage?

 

How about a video on everything you can't do with an iPad pro that you can do with any mac laptop or say a surface pro?

 

I could not work one day with only an iPad Pro. Even if the software like sketch and photoshop and so on would be available, it would be a huge pain to only touch, pinch and swipe and not to have a trackpack and a decent keyboard to use shortcuts to get stuff done fast and precise. And the filehandling on ipad is a joke!

Although i bought me an iPad Pro Just to game or consume films and reading, because thats what an ipad is meant for and thats working perfect with this super display, the speakers, the battery and the formfactor!

 

Haha exactly. This isn’t pro. It’s great for sketching up storyboards and quick ideas but since getting a Wacom Cintiq Pro 24, I’m using mine as a baby monitor.
