iPad Pro 12.9 (2018) review

 

Apple rules the tablet roost, but is its newest iPad Pro a worthy addition to the iPad line?

Massive display Unrivalled music quality (for a tablet) Snappy iOS 12

Limited battery life Face ID has short range No headphone port or connector

The 2018 iPad Pro 12.9 might have a few weak features, but overall it’s an incredible device – between its massive screen, fantastic audio quality, slim design, useful peripherals, and iOS, you can’t get a better tablet.

Apple iPad Pro 12.9-inch review (2018): the world's greatest tablet gets truly 'pro' power

 

The most advanced tablet gets a matching new design that's the biggest change since the iPad's inception. Read T3's Apple iPad Pro 12.9-inch review now…

Unbelievably powerful and slick ; Excellent screen ; Thin and compact design ; Great battery life ; New Pencil is great

iOS isn’t as flexible as a desktop OS ; No 3.5mm jack

Apple iPad Pro 12.9 (2018) review: iOS with laptop power

 

We review Apple's new iPad Pro 12.9 (2018) tablet to see whether it can be your next laptop replacement?

New design ; Face ID ; Storage options ; New Pencil ; Lots of power

No HDR support ; No file directory support ; Your Lightning accessories won't work ; Can get expensive

Apple might have just relaunched the MacBook Air, but from our experience, this could just very well be your next laptop replacement.

iPad Pro 12.9in (2018)

 

The third-gen iPad Pro 12.9in was heavily updated and redesigned for 2018, but is it still a good purchase now? Well yes, if you can find the right model on sale

Apple iPad Pro 12.9in (2018)

 

Apple's latest iPad Pros are a very tempting purchase, but should you stick with the tried-and-tested Surface Pro from Microsoft? We help you decide which tablet to buy.

12.9in Apple iPad Pro (2018) review: The fastest iPad ever

 

Stupendously fast and expensive, the 12.9in iPad Pro (2018) is Apple's most capable tablet yet

Incredibly fast ; USB Type-C support ; Edge-to-edge display

Hugely expensive ; Not as flexible as a proper laptop

Everywhere you look on the 2018 iPad Pro’s spec sheet, in fact, there’s a minor or a major upgrade, adding up to a huge step forward for the iPad Pro as a whole. It’s superfast and incredibly well made. It’s better in almost every conceivable way than...

iPad Pro 12.9 review

 

Apple's biggest digital canvas is finally fit to replace 13-inch laptops.

Tremendous 12.9-inch display ; Laptop-beating performance ; USB-C port replaces Lightning

Supremely expensive ; Starts with 64GB of storage ; Battery life could be better

The redesigned iPad Pro 12.9 is Apple’s biggest and best digital canvas thanks to its massive display and the second-generation Apple Pencil. It has become our favourite way to sketch, edit photos and take notes on the go. However, it's also supremely...

Apple iPad Pro 12.9-inch (2018) tablet review

  (Rating Hidden)

Apple has overhauled its iPad Pro range with a brand-new design, specifications, features and screen sizes. What hasn't changed is the high price, so do these models justify the premium Apple is charging, or are you better off spending a little less on...

iPad Pro 12.9 review (2018): The future of computing?

 

Don't be fooled by its new, even more minimalist design: Apple's revamped 12.9-inch iPad Pro is overkill, plain and simple. We have a few things for thank for that, like the absurdly fast A12X Bionic chipset (which actually runs faster than some of the...

New easy-to-hold design ; Beautiful Liquid Retina display ; USB-C for flexibility and faster charging ; Fast performance ; Up to 1TB of storage ; Much-improved Apple Pencil

Non-base configurations get expensive ; iOS 12 feels limited on this ambitious hardware ; Lots of trial-and-error to find compatible USB accessories ; No support for external storage

And there's the rub for me: I have no doubt that some people could use the iPad Pro exclusively and be satisfied. It's more than powerful enough for 4K video editing, photo retouching and stupidly elaborate Photoshop work, not to mention who knows how...
