The new 5th Generation iPad Pro 12.9 is thicker than the previous generation iPad Pro 12.9. It will still work with the 2020 original Apple Magic Keyboard/trackpad, but closing the keyboard case is the problem. The new iPad Pro 11" doesn't have the problem of thickness, since it doesn't have the new XDR mini LED backlit screen.
I understood what was meant, mainly because ”left of bang” is a military term….and actually a pretty good book if that floats your boat.I thunk we’ve all learned from this, not to use “moved left” as if anyone knows what you mean.
And Apple has done excellent job there but that's only peak brightness that can only stay briefly.
Just like the iPhone 12, the entire OS works at a lower standard brightness level BUT, when you view HDR content it kicks up the brightness just for that content AND just on that portion of the screen. You can see it pretty clearly with the Photos app. If you’ve taken any HDR photos or videos, when you view them on the phone the area of the image utilizes the higher brightness. It’s not just briefly, though. As long as you have that picture on the screen (or as long as you’re playing HDR video) the brightness is available.
Of course but 1200 is peak brightness of iPhone that can’t stay for long. IPP normal brightness is also at 600 nits but will be boosted to 1000 nits when viewing HDR contents. This one can stay for a whole movie but when we really need it, like in some challenging scenes, it has another gear up to 1,700 nits if necessary. iPhone 12 just can’t do it. That 1,000 nits brightness of IPP is crucial for true HDR film watching. It’s a base brightness unlike on iPhone that is a peak. If you just want to view some video you shot in Photo app it won’t matter but if you want to view big budget HDR film then it really does.
What do yo mean by “can’t stay for long”? If you begin playing back an HDR video it drops the brightness in the middle of the movie? I haven’t noticed it, but I’ll have to try that out.
Peak brightness like this is more or less like turbo boost for CPU. It will kick in when needed but it can’t stay for hours. Otherwise they will just says the brightness of iPhone 12 is 1,200 nits (no “peak”).
Right, it’s just that my understanding has always been that it’s needed as long as it’s displaying HDR content. I have some HDR content taken with my iPhone that has LOTS of bright areas. It’s only a few minutes, so I’ll use iMovie to add it to itself over and over until I get a nice long runtime and see if the screen ever darkens during playback.
But the iPad Pro also lists its highest brightness as a peak brightness: “1600 nits peak brightness (HDR)”
it’s actually quite rare for an HDR film to exceed the brightness of the iPhone 11 / 12 Pro. Most content mastered for HDR doesn’t often reach past 1000 nits. The iPhone is already 50% brighter than the best OLED TVs, with an even bigger increase in total color volume.
For sure but how long can it last? I haven’t yet read anyone watching a whole HDR movies on iPhone 12 with peak or almost peak brightness throughout. One thing is saying it can reach it. Another thing entirely to achieve it for hours. And we’re talking about “peak” here which iPhone, despite this underrated display, is still far inferior to this miniLED on IPP. That would mean you’ll need dark room for iPhone but you don’t for IPP.
Yeah, you’ve got to artificially create it. Actually, I haven’t checked to see if there’s already a “full HDR” brightness test clip out there, so maybe I should look for that first. In the test video I made, there WAS brightness the entire time, but it was an outside shot I took myself and I wouldn’t be able to say for certainty that THAT was the brightest it could go.
Uhm, ok...? I just found it funny that people who bought the complete-non-upgrade 2020 iPad Pro were poo-poohing the upgrades in the 2021 model, as if they were less.
It’s too bad it will be 2 years at least before I’ll buy a new Mac or a new iPad. I’d love to test this new screen against top tier Samsung OLED TV my friend has. 🙁
