The iPad Pro has an incredible 12.9 inch screen. Apple claims that the display is the largest and best screen of any of their products. The 2732 x 2048 pixel screen is insanely amazing packing a total of 5.6 megapixels. By far, the new iPad Pro is the most powerful iPad yet. Apple even claims that it's more powerful than 80-90% of PCs sold in the last year. This new iPad is so powerful, it can run 3 4K video streams at once. There are many desktop computers, mine included, that struggle with that.
There's a smart keyboard, for those that prefer to type that way. It acts as a cover as well. But the most exciting accessory is the Apple Pencil. It's only $99 and from the looks of it, could turn your iPad Pro into something similar to a Wacom Cintiq. The Pencil can detect position, pressure, and tilt. The claim is that it's so precise, you can actually touch a single pixel.
All the players are in place. There's a great new iPad and a stylus to compliment it. Now, we just need some solid editing apps and this could really be a game changer for photographers and retouchers. Unfortunately, there are none. Adobe is promising "Adobe Fix", but there's no indication of where or not there will be any support for layers. They claim is can edit a 50 megapixel image.
If there is support for layers, then this iPad Pro will be everything that I'm looking for in a mobile device to add to my workflow. If not, then I will heave a huge sigh, shed some tears, and probably get a Cintiq or even a Surface. I'd love to stick with Apple, but I won't force it. Apple has laid the groundwork for a fantastic device. Let's see what the developers can create to compliment it.
