Hands-On With iPad Pro in Space Black: Apple's Thinnest Product Ever

[GrayFlannel]

All this thin talk…how much thinner is it than the last iPad Pro? 1mm?

Waiting for all the threads titled "I bent my iPad Pro"

Thinest product ever! < no one asked for this

Lighter ← many asked for this

OLED ← many asked for this

As a result of OLED panels being thinner and lighter, Apple was able to make it thinner and lighter.

Thinest product ever! < no one asked for this

I did. I wanted thinner, lighter and brighter for the 13 Pro and sounds like Apple nailed it. Instant purchase for me and can’t wait to get it!

 

[turbineseaplane]

Sounds like an ergonomic nightmare

 

[PaperMag]

It’s funny, because based on comments no one ever asks for it, but then customers seem to go for it!

Apple improves something. It sells in the tens of millions.

Macrumors: "Nobody asked for it to be improved!"

"Just holding it in your hands is an unbelievable experience."

That's what he said.

MacRumors Users: “nobody wants small phones and I’m glad it was cancelled”

😠

If it gets macOS like rumored in WWDC i'll either sell my current high-bin m3 pro mbp and get a 1tb 13" with the magic keyboard, or ill use my mbp till its bust, get a m8 iPP 15" in 2028 and get a base m4 11" pro in the meantime

Is there an actual rumor like that? Would feel odd to release them today and a significant change one month later.

JerryRigEverything is going to have a FIELD DAY with this!

I still don’t see a reason to upgrade my 2018 11 inch Pro. Perfectly fine for media consumption and web browsing. I don’t need OLED or 1000 nits for YouTube.

You don't need an iPad Pro period for that. The basic iPad 9th gen is plenty for pretty much all people do on iPads.

No there isn't, this person is hoping that dreaming something will make it true.

I HATE that there is no more iPhone mini! I feel let down by Apple. I feel let down by the iPhone community.

 

[ApplesAreSweet&Sour]

God, I’m so jealous.

Like, why can’t I be this thin and popular for once?

Life is so unfair!

😩

Wacom also released a 13” OLED drawing tablet this month. It’s super thin.

But after using a 16” Huion tablet I can’t go any smaller. The UI is very difficult to read at 13”.

Something to bear in mind if you are using iPad Pro with Sidecar. iPadOS fine. macOS sidecared eye strain.

 

[shyam09]

I think this cements it. I'm probably going to get the 13". My biggest concern with my 2018 12.9" Pro was the weight when attached to the Magic Keyboard. IT sounds like the new Pro + Magic Keyboard = the weight of the previous gen iPad Pro on its own, which is insane. I'm so down for that.

 

[sigmasirrus]

The thinner enclosure seems like a distraction from the bezels, which are not much thinner. The stock photos seem to purposely show a black background on the new Pro instead of a bright one on the Airs. In the past, Apple has played up the differences in bezels with iPhone Pro vs. non-Pro using light wallpapers in photos.

I can see the benefit of a thinner device when combined with a keyboard.

You still need something to hold!

 

[aParkerMusic]

Don’t think so as it would not close flush because it’s now much thinner.

Fair, but it would be nice if it worked while the keyboard was open and being used. Guess it would come down to the placement of the Smart Connector and whether Apple allows it

 

[Wags]

Nobody said. Where’s the camera?

 

[Daveydawg]

to get 13” nano screen with keyboard it’s 2400. I think I’ll just get an MBP

You’re just jealous because you’ll never be as thin as the new iPad.

..just like me 😭😢

 

[kennyt72]

Thinner than that cloth they did a few years back!!!!!! Impressive

 

[NEPOBABY]

So.. there's a new Magic Keyboard (aluminum casing, bigger touchpad, etc.) Will the old Magic Keyboard work with the new iPad pros?

It might connect but it will look unaligned and ugly.

 

[sigmasirrus]

The nano texture option in the photo doesn’t seem as helpful as I thought it would to reduce glare and improve readability.

I was thinking the same thing. My daughter gifted me an M1 iPad Pro about 2 years or so ago. I got the 2nd Gen Apple Pencil as well. Based on what I saw, I don't see the point of upgrading from my current iPad Pro. It does everything I need and more. What I don't like is that the new Apple Pencil Pro is not compatible to the M1 iPad Pro, which means I will have to upgrade to the latest and greatest to be able to use the latest and greatest features of the Apple Pencil Pro. Okay.... I will hold on to mine a little bit longer.
