Transcripts
hey guys it's Justine and today we have
all of the brand new iPads here in the
studio we also have all of the
accessories as well we've got four new
iPad Airs in all of the colors and the
two new M4 iPad Pros let's start
unboxing cuz we've got a lot to cover
here first up let's start with the iPad
Pros now I'm pretty excited to unbox the
new iPad Pros because they now come in a
nano texture option which will give you
a nice matte finish on the display and I
love having this on my Pro display XDS
and on my studio display because it
really does cut down on Reflections so
if you're somebody that's working near a
window or you go outside and use your
iPad often I feel like this is a really
great option and definitely something
that you might want to check out I would
recommend going to the Apple Store to
see what it looks like and see if you
actually are interested in it because it
really is a different experience so we
have both options to check out the
standard glass and the Nano texture and
we do have both colors we have the space
black and the silver is it called space
black did I just make that up it's
called space black let's open up the
Nano texture one
first I'm so excited I just love that
this is something different because I
feel like the iPads have been pretty
much the same for quite a while so the
fact that they're introducing a nano
texture in the pros is pretty exciting
and this is so light oh my goodness like
it really does feel like a piece of
paper like this is like holding
[Music]
nothing wow oh I can't wait to show you
the difference you can kind oh my God my
camera can't even focus on it because
it's so confused you can see the outer
bezels here have some reflection and you
can tell like right here is what the
nail texture looks like like look at
that camera bul like this is so thin
right inside the Box we've also got a
nice charging brick and of course a USBC
cable what is this surprise a little
polishing cloth look at that so clean so
fresh and it's got the little Apple logo
on it okay but did we get a
sticker no
sticker here's our cleaning instructions
clean your iPad Pro display only with
the included polishing clo for
infrequent cleaning of hard to remove
smudges a 70% alcohol solution may be
used okay good to know look at that
silver all right let's unbox the next
one next up space black with the
standard glass
finish okay the space black looks really
good wow that looks so nice here I was
thinking I was going to get the silver
but then space black is out here just
looking like a snack so here's the front
glass I mean you can already tell how
reflective that is like you can see the
entire grid of the light that's in front
of me
ooh a color matched USBC cable yes
totally here for that that looks really
nice no polishing cloth with the
standard texture
glass okay here we are check it out look
at the difference in these Reflections
you can see the full grid over here in
the standard glass and you can't see
barely anything at all in this matte
Nano texture finish all right well these
are activating let's unbox the
accessories now when they first
introduced the magic keyboard for the
iPad I feel like that was the first time
that I really felt like it became a
device that I was able to use and become
more productive with because you were
able to type it had a trackpad and it
really changed the game for the iPad and
now with these new updated keyboards
they look so awesome the trackpad is
much bigger and it has a much more
premium finish let's open up and I'll
show
you here they are we have one of each
color to match each iPad this feels much
lighter than the previous
version like I don't know for sure oh it
has such a good smell to it
too oh yeah this one smells good too I
had to bring over the old iPad first
because I just need to just need to see
it okay this is so much
thicker I can't tell it feels very
similar I thought it would feel lighter
it's definitely much more Sleek that's
for sure you can even tell here like on
this finish this is this nice aluminum
and they even switch the orientation of
the USBC ports so it's definitely a much
more flush to look but here you can see
the difference between the two trackpads
they've also now added a function Row
the keys feel about the same trackpad as
larger this also has the nice aluminum
finish around the sides too and even
inside of here I really like this a lot
this really does elevate the iPad in
into an all new level it's still kind of
crazy that they decided to go from an M2
to an M4 they really really went for it
I also thought that the camera bump was
a little bit larger than it is on the
old iPad but surprisingly it looks to be
about the same so yeah it's about it's
about the same thickness in the camera
bump but I think what's also making it
look way more Sleek is that it matches
the iPad whereas before it kind of stuck
out a lot because they did kind of do
like that black finish way more seamless
and I think that was a really great
decision and as far as how thin it is I
mean when you hold these up next to each
other considering the old iPad is also
still pretty thin they really managed to
make this even thinner is pretty
impressive let's see what this looks
like look at that oh yeah that is so
Sleek definitely much thinner I like to
travel with my iPad with a magic
keyboard so having something that saves
me a little bit more space is definitely
an A+ in my book wow these look so good
when I was watching the event I was like
cool yeah they look awesome but then
actually having them here and just
seeing how nice they look all next to
each other with these new keyboards
these new keyboards really do make a
huge difference hi I'm Siri I'm Siri I'm
Siri I'm Siri I'm
Siri oh my goodness they're set up look
at them they look so good wow we also
have two other case options we've got
the iPad smartfolio I like these a lot
as well but if you do want to have a
keyboard obviously the magic keyboard is
the way to go and here's what the
smartfolio looks like so nice I mean it
makes it so thin cuz I'm so used to
carrying around the magic keyboard with
my
iPad what do you want do you want to see
it do you want to give me a hug oh you
want to give me a hug okay this is the
new M4 iPad Pro how do you feel about it
no okay bye then we've got the space
black with the matching smartfolio as
well oh they look so nice so thin like
this just feels like a tiny little
notebook I can't even handle it now to
go along with the new iPads the apple
pencil Pro will work with both the new
iPad Air and the new M4 iPads it will
not work with any previous gen iPads so
please do not buy this apple pencil
thinking that it's going to work with
your old iPad something else that's kind
of cool is they have different colored
boxes and little drawings on all of them
I think my favorite one is the purple
this one's really cool
here it is look at that it looks pretty
similar to the previous version you'll
see here it does say apple pencil Pro so
you will be able to tell them apart
easily okay this is going to be the
first connect of the brand new apple
pencil
Pro look at
that it's connected welcome to apple
pencil Pro oh my gosh it's giving me a
little tutorial oh The Squeeze it's so
weird switch tools with a gesture double
tap scribble easily capture screenshot
swipe up from the bottom left the test
the squeeze I did it hover over and
squeeze it brought up my display writing
on this mat feels so different and I
think I'm into it oh wow it feels really
nice the other incredible update about
the apple pencil Pro is it has fined my
integration so if you've ever lost your
apple pencil which I know you have
because I have lost so many so now that
the iPad Pros are unboxed let's start
testing them
out this is definitely one of the most
exciting updates to the iPad Pro that
we' have seen in a really long time it
has an all new design a new display
technology new accessories and the
latest Apple silicon the brand new M4
now first of all the new iPad Pro is so
thin it's coming in at just 5.1 mm for
the 13-in model which actually makes it
the thinnest Apple device that Apple has
ever made they've also finally brought
olded technology to the iPad Pro with a
new Ultra Retina xdr Display they're
using something that they're calling the
tandom OLED basically this is using two
OLED panels to deliver amazing colors
and contrast without sacrificing
brightness in fact it gets so bright
with up to 1,600 nits Peak HDR and for
the first time ever there is now a new
Nano texture option for the display and
this seriously looks so good I mean
check it out like you can definitely see
just sitting here like if I move these
iPads like you can see no reflection
reflection it's incredible it also came
with a little microfiber
cloth special for the Nano
texture now I think that we were all
kind of shocked to see that the iPad
used the new iPad Pro to release their
allnew M4 chip now we knew that it was
coming at some points and now that it's
here it is of course super powerful with
up to 4X faster Pro rendering than the
M2 it has an allnew display engine and a
GPU capable of Hardware accelerated Ray
tracing so that will give you the
phenomenal graphics for gaming and
productivity apps and the M4 16 core
neural engine is a huge leap when it
comes to AI capabilities it was also
kind of fun during this Apple event
Apple really went all in on AI they had
mentioned it more times in this event
than I've ever heard them say which is
kind of getting me really hyped up for
what they're going to announce at WWDC
it's all happening so soon and of course
to go along with the iPad Pro Apple also
dropped an all new apple pencil Pro
which is getting a ton of new features
to take precision to another level
there's a new Barrel rule gyroscope that
can make adjustments depending on the
position of the pencil there's a squeeze
gesture that lets you quickly switch
between software functions and it now
has haptic feedback which I think is
going to unlock so many new experiences
on the iPad I know the first time that I
test it out the new Apple pencil and I
squeezed it I actually thought that I
was squeezing the pencil because the
haptic feedback felt so real that it
tricked my mind into thinking that I was
squeezing the pencil and when I squeezed
it and it wasn't connected like nothing
happened now the squeeze feature is
really cool it's going to be great to
see this integrated into third party
apps so when you squeeze check that out
the menu pops up and it's the haptic
feedback that is tricking your brain
into thinking that you're actually
squeezing the pencil next the gyroscope
allows you to do a barrel roll so a good
example of this is pulling up the
highlighter and when you hover above the
iPad you'll be able to see as you do the
barrel roll the highlighter will also go
with it Apple adds a fake Shadow to
whatever tool you're using so it makes
it look like it's a highlighter or an
eraser or something similar it's really
neat see look at that shadow that's not
real that is a Digital Shadow do a
barrel roll so that's what's new in the
apple pencil Pro do you need it probably
not do you want it yeah is it cool no
doubt about it now the camera system on
the iPad Pro is also really nice on the
back there is a 12 megapixel wide camera
with an Adaptive Flash and a lar scanner
for enhanced AR experiences something
that's always so funny is watching
people make content with their iPads
like taking photos and videos because
it's so massive but this really is an
incredible content creation device Nori
do you want a model for me look at you
you're so cute okay so I'm making a
video and what's so awesome like check
this out it's so crazy having this matte
display because everything just looks so
crisp and clean there's no reflection
there's no glare and this is something
that I'm just really not used to having
on any type of device like this
[Music]
one of the most exciting updates is the
camera is now on the top where it should
be I'm so excited to test out FaceTime
this is going to be my first FaceTime
call on the new iPad Pro so I'm going to
call my friend Joe and hopefully he
actually
answers oh we can see the center stage
working though while I
wait Hey Joe it's Justine thanks for not
answering my call it's cool I'm not mad
or anything okay I actually really like
being able to delete video messages oh
my goodness hello hello hi Joe how are
you I'm good I'm eting a snack oh that's
cool what are you having oh Jes is hasht
AD we love it we love to see it how does
my video quality look I'm calling you
for the first time ever on the brand new
iPad Pro oh my god oh this looks really
good actually yeah so it's cool because
they moved the camera up here to the top
so it's now landscape so you can
actually do calls
this is so much better Center Stage
hello look at me this is cool okay you
might convince me to actually get one of
one of them camera quality looks great
yeah you can order them now apple.com
IAD check it
out uh cool well well thanks for picking
up my call I appreciate it yeah of
course I'm going to get back to my snack
okay yeah enjoy your enjoy your snacks
okay bye and now that these magic
keyboards are making it more kind of
MacBook like being able to have this
FaceTime camera up here is just it
really is is gamechanging I feel like if
anyone has ever done a call on the old
iPads you know how awkward the
positioning is but now it's perfect I'm
just going to be real with you I just
kind of wanted a reason to go to the
driving range but there's this really
cool app called on form and I kind of
wanted to try it out it's pretty cool
because it has this mode where it'll
Auto detect your swing and it'll give
you the ability to do a compare to
previous swings also just for the record
I don't really know how to golf but I'm
learning here we go let's start our free
trial
[Music]
now it's the fun part we get to analyze
our swings so I've popped in two
different swings and it's amazing
because when I hit play you'll see these
are all linked up the neat part is I can
do a little scroll wheel here so I can
slow it down and really see where I
messed up like where did things go wrong
if I knew what I was looking for would
probably be helpful and I will
definitely be using this anytime I go
golfing
[Music]
so now with this being the iPad Pro
there are a couple of pro workflow
features that I really want to test out
with this you can connect up to a 6K
display so now I have my iPad plugged
into my studio display now these other
monitors here this is actually just my
MacBook they just kind of looked pretty
so we're going to leave them on for the
sake of the video but as you can see the
iPad is plugged in and you have the
option to either mirror the display so
right now I'm not mirroring the display
so when I go over here I can open up my
apps and I can also still have access to
the iPad here so it really is giving you
kind of like this dual monitor situation
so this is going to be great for if
you're traveling you can be working on
your iPad and then as soon as you come
