![]() ![]() ![]() Spotify is a great example (or a terrible one, depending on how you look at it). Many of them get pretty close by displaying thin black bars at the top and bottom of the display where the time, date and gesture bar live, and I'd imagine fixing this in an update wouldn't be too difficult. It's also worth noting that, for now at least, most of the apps I've tested don't actually fill the entire screen. ![]() My gripes here are few: the screen's pixel density technically falls short of that on devices like the iPhone XS and XS Max, but that's less troublesome than the fact that the screen is a veritable fingerprint magnet. Apple calls this its ProMotion display technology, and it's just as impressive now as it was when I first tested it - if you're not careful, it'll spoil nearly every other tablet screen for you. Even better, the display can (once again) refresh at a rate of up to 120Hz, so on-screen motion tends to look remarkably smooth. This LCD is capable of rendering bright, beautiful colors, to the point where I've found it gives the iPhone XS's OLED screen a run for its money. That was almost certainly a decision made to keep the iPad Pro's cost at least somewhat manageable, and honestly, the decision doesn't come with many downsides. That said, I'm pretty sure at least a few of you are disappointed that Apple didn't embrace OLED panels here the way it did in its recent flagship iPhones. The 12.9-inch "Liquid Retina" display has the same 2,732 x 2,048 resolution as earlier models did, and it's about as nice a screen as you'll find on a tablet right now. ![]() If nothing else, Apple has succeeded in building a big tablet that doesn't really feel like one.Īnd then there's the screen. I've spent the past week using the Pro to work on this review, read on subways, watch election results while nursing a fever in bed and more - in short, I've been trying to rely on it as much as possible, and it never felt as cumbersome or unwieldy as its predecessors. That might not sound like a huge difference, but because Apple concentrated the tablet's weight into a smaller footprint, this iPad feels much easier to manage. It certainly doesn't hurt that its designers trimmed a full inch off the big Pro's height and shaved around two-tenths of a pound off the body. To Apple's credit, this is the easiest 12.9-inch iPad to actually hold and use. ![]()
