Using the Apple Pencil Pro to Improve the Experience of High Speed Animation and Articulation on the iPad and the Final Cut Pro App
Along with OLED displays, the iPad Pro continues to support Apple’s ProMotion technology and a max refresh rate of 120Hz, unlike the iPad Air. As a result, iPad Pro users will enjoy a smoother scrolling and gaming experience, while digital artists will enjoy greater responsiveness when drawing with the Apple Pencil.
The Apple Pencil Pro has a built in interaction feature that app developers can create their own. Some examples provided by Procreate CEO James Cuda include brushes that “respond in entirely new ways” thanks to the Barrel Roll feature or using the squeeze feature to activate software shortcuts. The Barrel Roll feature allows animators to record actions with the help of Procreate Dreams.
Adding support for Apple’s Find My device location system is also a welcome update for scatterbrained users who frequently lose their stylus. It’s hard to misplace a pencil shaped device, and it’s even more difficult to replace an Apple Pencil, which will often turn up months later after you’ve torn your home apart.
Final Cut Camera is designed to support live multicamera production and is a new app from Apple. The app will allow users to connect multiple Apple devices with the updated Final Cut Pro app.
Overview of the iPad Pro: Pricing, Features, and Thermodynamics of an Extremely High-performance, High-Performance Processor
These are no iterative updates, either. For the first time, Apple has added a new chip to the iPad Pro. Both the 11- and 13-inch Air models are available in Apple’s lineup. With support for most of the same accessories, you can now choose whether or not you need a big iPad for work or play.
The basics are what we want to start with. Pricing is the most obvious differentiator between the new iPad Pro and iPad Air. The cellular iPad Airs begin at $749 and $949, while the cheaper wi-fi-enabled 11- and 13-inch models start at $599 and $799. They both offer double the base storage of the 2022, but you can also add more storage with up to 1 gigabyte of storage.
Speaking of the M4, Apple took the wraps off its new processor during its event. It comes with a 10-core CPU and a 10-core GPU and is built using the more efficient 3nm process. Apple says the chip’s CPU is 50 percent faster than the M2, making it “an outrageously powerful chip for AI.”
Putting the iPad Pro to the Test: The Updated Software, Accessories, and Hardware at Apple’s First Let Loose Event
When it comes to design and display tech,Apple’s latest tablets differ from their previous models. We’ve yet to put the tablets to the test, but in our brief time with the iPad Pro, we were struck by how thin and light it was (it even weighs less than the iPad Air). You can buy the iPad Air in dark gray, starlight gold, light purple, and light blue; however, the Pro model only comes in black and silver.
There’s also a new virtual bass player and keyboard player for Logic Pro.
Apple just wrapped up its “Let Loose” event, where it showed off the newest additions to its iPad lineup in nearly two years. We got a first look at some of the refreshed accessories and updated software at the event.
We compared the raw specs of both tablets to make sure you can make an informed decision. We’ll also soon be publishing our full reviews of both tablets, so be sure to check back.
The Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro won’t work with the iPad Air because of its support for Apple’s existing accessories. Only iPad Pro users can use the aluminum keyboard, which is lighter and thinner than previous models. It also features a bigger, more responsive trackpad, comes in two colors, and sports new features like a function key row.
If the M2 is not powerful enough to handle a few new stylus tricks, I don’t think it’s good for the performance of the iPad Pro.
