I think the 2018 iPad Pro brought the biggest changes Apple has ever made to an iPad. The removal of the home button and slimmer bezels gave it a futuristic, all-screen design. I use the 11-inch model frequently as my daily driver iPad because of its portable size and stunning display with ProMotion. Even 5 years later, it still delivers smooth performance that outpaces newer iPads without ProMotion. - Simple Alpaca |

In testing, The tablet's performance very impressive, with benchmark scores surpassing some MacBook Pro models. we think the convenience of Face ID and the much improved Apple Pencil charging and pairing method. However, some limitations of the iPad Pro due to the iOS operating system. - 9to5Mac - Jeff Benjamin |

Pros: - Thinner bezels and no home button gives a futuristic all-screen design - Smooth performance with ProMotion display - Great rear and front cameras - USB-C and Apple Pencil support adds versatility - Long software support expected Cons: - Expensive - Some iOS limitations for professional use |
Apple has released its most powerful and technologically advanced iPad model to date – the 2018 iPad Pro. This new Pro tablet sports a completely revamped design with slimmer bezels and no home button for a stunning nearly all-screen look.
Ships With Futuristic All-Screen Design
The 2018 iPad Pro ships with a futuristic edge-to-edge screen design enabled by drastically reduced bezels.
The removal of the traditional home button frees up even more display real estate. This gives the new iPad Pro a modern, visually appealing makeover.
Upgraded Cameras, Speakers Enhance Multimedia Experience
The updated 12MP rear and 7MP TrueDepth front cameras capture sharp, vivid photos and video. Four-speaker audio produces loud, immersive sound perfect for movies or gaming.
ProMotion display technology also dynamically adjusts refresh rates up to a smooth 120Hz for greater responsiveness.
Lasts Nearly 10 Hours Per Charge
Battery life reaches around 10 hours of mixed usage – on par with previous models. Fast charging support allows quicker rejuicing when battery power runs low.
Apple Pencil And Smart Keyboard Boost Productivity
New versions of the Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard accessories pair effortlessly with the iPad Pro. The magnetically-attachable Apple Pencil charges wirelessly atop the iPad, eliminating awkward plug-in charging.
It also supports convenient double-tap gestures to switch tools. The improved Smart Keyboard Folio protects both front and back while enabling comfortable laptop-style typing.
Smokes Competition in Processing Power
The iPad Pro’s A12X Bionic chip crushes leading competitors in processing power, even surpassing some MacBook Pros. Multitasking feels fast and fluid thanks to ample RAM and storage options up to 1TB.
It zips through demanding creative workloads like 4K video editing and design with smooth performance.
USB-C Brings New Connectivity Convenience
Another big change comes through swapping Lightning for USB-C connectivity. The versatile port simplifies hooking up external displays, cameras, and storage with handy plug-and-play functionality.
Software Still Catching Up to Cutting-Edge Hardware
For all its strengths, the iPad Pro does face some limitations on the software side for pro use cases. The mobile-centric iOS platform restricts direct file imports from external drives or memory cards.
Multitasking options also feel confined on the 11-inch screen size when working with multiple apps. Professionals with complex workflows still need the flexibility of a traditional computer running macOS or Windows.
Nonetheless, the profoundly powerful 2018 iPad Pro represents a huge technological leap forward. It brings unrivaled performance and slick new features lacking on older models, all within a more portable package.
While pro users await more robust software enhancements, it already streamlines work for many people. For maximum utility, stepping up to the 12.9-inch version helps unlock the full potential of this proficient new tablet.
