Apple iPad Pro 2020 review: One small step for iPad, a giant leap for Apple

Your next computer is not a computer. Or at least that’s what Apple says about the 2020 iPad Pro. What it really means (to me) is that no matter how much the iPad Pro becomes ‘like’ a PC, it will never be one. Apple’s fine with that, and this year, so are we.

The new iPad Pro has fancy new cameras, a new processor as always, and touchpad support. That last one’s coming to all iPads though, which is great for us but not so great for this year’s iPad Pro. And I’ll tell you why.

The 2020 iPad Pro has dual-cameras with a Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) sensor. The cameras are great for a tablet, as they have always been on iPads. The “Pro” part here is that it clicks 4K videos at 60fps, something many movie makers tell me is worth their attention. They say iPads are always present on sets as a review mechanism, and if they can shoot too, it’s a redundancy they don’t mind.
