Were there no demo units handed out to media and reviewers to provide reviews ahead of time? I haven’t seen any reviews or unboxings yet. Usually happen 2 days before launch

Someone got their 2020 iPad Pro Early (Geekbench Benchmarks and More)
I am completely speechless… The guy who got it did a benchmark. It is running the public release version of iPadOS 13.4 (not the golden master or a beta version). There are also a ton of people asking for certain tests to be conducted (camera test, etc).

Considering how surprised everyone seemed, and how a few big media sites have said they'd be getting theirs on Wednesday, I think Apple actually didn't send demo units out in advance. It's possible Apple didn't even decide about the timing until relatively recently. They likely had planned on a surprise media invitation to an announcement event with a couple week's notice, like they often do, but when it became clear that would be a bad idea, they just shoved it out the door.
Not a stellar review. Maybe I will end up keeping my 2008 11 Pro and saving the money. Will see when I get the 12.9 tomorrow.

Another. Good review, but sounds like not an much of an upgrade from 2018 11 or 12.9 Pro. https://www.wired.com/review/apple-ipad-pro-2020/

Its funny how each one started as a review for the iPad and pretty much turned into a demo for Mouse Support followed by drooling over the Magic Keyboard.
