Apple finally updated the iPad Air and iPad Pro lines, and fixed a glaring problem that I’ve had with the Pro models for years.
After a year of no new iPad models, Apple finally gave us what we were hoping for (and then some) during its Let Loose event on May 7. Apple revealed a new 13-inch size for the iPad Air (in addition to the standard 11-inch model), plus brand new iPad Pros.
I typically prefer having the best specs possible with any device, and for the iPad, that means the iPad Pro. However, one problem that has plagued the iPad Pro for years is that Apple has punished those who prefer the smaller 11-inch model over the larger 12.9-inch one.
What’s the problem I’m referring to? Previously, the 11-inch iPad Pro always had a lesser display, as Apple only put the more advanced Liquid Retina XDR display on the 12.9-inch version. Previous 11-inch iPad Pros only had the regular Liquid Retina display that is on all the other iPad models — resulting in a compromised viewing experience.
Thankfully, Apple has finally fixed this with the new iPad Pro lineup.Lots of love for the small iPad Pro
Now, you may be wondering why anyone would prefer the 11-inch iPad Pro over the larger 13-inch one. Well, I’ve used a 12.9-inch iPad Pro in the past, and I’ve also used gigantic Android tablets, such as the Lenovo Tab Extreme. There was always one thing I hated about these big tablets: they were simply too damn big.
When it comes to tablets and laptops, I prefer devices that are more compact and portable.
