The new iPad Pro is out. For this year's new tablet, some users are curious about one thing. Will the new iPad Pro get bent as easily as the 2018 model?
As I recall, soon after the launch of the 2018 iPad pro, some users complained on social media that the iPad pro was prone to bending, some of which happened under normal use and some of which were discovered after the new machine was opened. In response to this, Apple posted an article on its official website responding to the iPad Pro case design. For the iPad pro's flatness requirements, Apple gave the standard that the flatness tolerance on both sides should not exceed 400 microns (less than the thickness of four sheets of paper).
It's now been a year and a half since the last iPad Pro was released. How is the just launched 2020 iPad Pro doing? The famous UpMainEverythingApple Pro recently tested the new iPad Pro. the study found that the new iPad Pro is not much different from its predecessor in terms of body sturdiness.
Aside from the new camera module on the back, the new iPad Pro is made of almost the same materials and looks the same as its predecessor, with the same thickness of 5.9mm.
Everythingapplepro says that the 2020 iPad Pro is just as bendable as its predecessor and can be easily bent without having to spend too much effort on the sides of the iPad Pro.
It's hard not to bend a tablet like the iPad Pro. A protective case is necessary for those who want to buy the new iPad pro. Be careful when using it. When you put heavy objects in your backpack, avoid them from crushing.
If the iPadPro is damaged due to defective material workmanship, you can contact Apple for warranty coverage.
In addition, this year Apple also equipped the new iPad pro with 12z bionic chip. According to users' running tests, there is not much difference in performance between the new a12z and a12x chips for the 2018 iPad pro. The only difference between these two chips is that the a12z has an additional GPU core.
Foreign media after learning more information, we found that the two chips have multiple similarities.
Apple's a12x bionic chip reportedly actually has eight physical GPU cores, one of which was disabled by Apple, while the a12z chip on the 2020 iPad Pro enables the previously disabled core.
A12X vs. A12Z on 2020 iPad Pro
This means that the A12X and A12Z are probably the same physical chip with the same physical number of CPU and GPU cores.
They speculate that the A12Z could be the A12X with one GPU core enabled, with the more powerful A14X to be released at the end of the year.
A senior technical researcher at TechInsights, another teardown organization, has confirmed that the A12X does indeed disable a GPU core, but whether or not the A12Z and A12X are the same chip will require an analysis of the chip's floorplan to conclude.
If Notebook Check's speculation turns out to be true, then Apple's squeezing too little toothpaste out of the new iPad Pro this time around.
Compared to the iPad Pro, I think the most interesting new product this time is the wonderful keyboard with trackpad support.
The a12z is powerful enough, even with just one more GPU core, to overwhelm other tablets with the performance of the new iPad pro, but 2018 iPad pro users won't need to upgrade, and the rest is waiting for the smart keyboard to be released in May.
