This review is strange to me as it seems to indicate that the 2020 iPad Pros are totally novel. The 2018 iPad Pros (3rd generation) have nearly the same chassis and only a very slightly less performant SoC. They both have many of the same features such as storage options, Face ID, magnetic coupling to Apple’s keyboard peripherals and Apple Pencil.
The big differences between the 2018 iPad Pros and the 2020 iPad Pros seem to be:
The rear-facing, depth-sensing LiDAR sensor
An additional, ultra-wide 10MP rear-facing camera
Newer wireless connectivity standard support including WiFi 6 and gigabit LTE
Unless you are really eager to get your hands on the LiDAR sensor, or you for some reason need the newer wireless connectivity, the 2018 iPad Pros are still really great. Personally, the 2018 version felt like they came from the future in 2018, and they still feel that way today.
I'll be interested to see what people are able to do with the LiDAR sensor. Seems like something that has roughly equal chances of opening up a whole class of novel uses for the iPad or just...
I'll be interested to see what people are able to do with the LiDAR sensor. Seems like something that has roughly equal chances of opening up a whole class of novel uses for the iPad or just sitting there as a marketing gimmick for a few generations.
I agree that the review is a bit strange, though, especially since it's so late. The release happened almost three months ago...
