一樣的 app 商店、一樣的容易上手

and battery life as the iPad Pro.

一樣的電池壽命

Last year when Dieter reviewed the 10.5 inch iPad Pro,

去年當 Dieter 在回顧 10.5 吋 iPad Pro 時

he said it was basically like Apple showing off.

他說蘋果基本上是在炫耀

And this new iPad Pro is definitely Apple showing off again,

現在這新的 iPad Pro 肯定是再次炫耀

especially when it comes to hardware.

特別是在硬體的部分

There are two sizes, 11 inches, and 12.9.

有兩種尺寸，11 吋與 12.9 吋

The 11 inch model fits a larger screen

11 吋款式的螢幕是滿版

in the same sized body as the old 10.5 inch model,

到跟機身一樣大，舊款 10.5 吋與

and the 12.9 shrinks the body down to fit the screen.

12.9 吋的則是機身縮到螢幕的大小

The 12.9 is basically the same size as a sheet of paper now.

Although, I'm gonna tell you,

不過，我還要告訴你

it feels a lot bigger than that.

它摸起來更棒

Apple likes to say that both models

蘋果很喜歡說它們

have edge to edge displays, but I mean, come on.

都有邊到邊的螢幕顯示，但我覺得，不只吧

Nothing about this bezel is edge to edge.

跟邊到邊的邊框沒有關系

But it is an extremely nice LCD screen

that's 264 points per inch on both sizes.

兩邊都有一吋 264 點的 LCD 螢幕

And it has Apples fancy new rounded corner technology

也有液態視網膜的 LCD

But the iPad display is way better than the XR screen.

但 iPad 比 XR 的螢幕好太多

With a faster 120 hertz promotion variable refresh rate,

有著更快 120 赫茲的螢幕刷新率

更好的瀏覽角度、亮度、支援更多的顏色

So I asked Apple,

所以我問蘋果公司

and they told me that Liquid Retina really just means

他們告訴我液態視網膜真的就只是

rounded corners, that's it.

圓弧角而已

The new iPad Pro is also the first really really new

這款新的 iPad Pro 是蘋果長久以來

Apple hardware design language in a long time.

it's all hard corners,

and flat sides with big exposed antenna lines in the back,

背面還有兩條平面天線

and a huge camera bump.

以及凸出的鏡頭

It kind of looks like the Macbook Pro

看似有點像 Macbook Pro

but it's also kind of brutal looking.

但又有點沒智慧的樣子

Almost like a reference design.

幾乎就像參考型的設計

Most people I showed it to thought it looked kinda cool,

我給很多人看這台，他們都認為很酷

especially in this space gray finish.

特別是機身灰色的部分

But it's taking a while to grow on me.

不過我是後來才慢慢喜歡它

You'll also notice that there's no home button.

你也會注意到它沒有桌面按鍵

Just like the iPhone X the new iPad Pro has Face ID.

就像 iPhone X 和 the new iPad Pro 有臉部辨識

It's the same TrueDepth camera system

它擁有跟 TrueDepth 系統 一樣

with a 7 megapixel camera,

的 700 萬畫素相機

infrared projector, and IR sensor.

紅外線投影，紅外線感應

But it works in any orientation,

適用於任何方向

landscape, upside down, whatever.

像是橫向，上下顛倒都可以

If your palm is covering the camera

如果你在拿 iPad 時

while you're holding the iPad, it'll tell you.

手遮到鏡頭，它會提示你

And if you have it at the bottom,

如果鏡頭拿在下方

it'll tell you to look down to unlock, which is pretty neat.

它會提示你往下看來解鎖，非常的明瞭

You can also double tap the space bar

如果你有鍵盤的話

if you have the keyboard cover on to unlock.

甚至還可以輕按兩下空白按鍵來解鎖

Which is really fast,

真的很便捷

and kinda reminiscent of Windows Hello.

有點讓人想起 Windows Hello

The lack of a home button means that

少了桌面返回鍵意味著

you now navigate the iPad Pro

你要用操作 iPhone X 的方式

using the same gestures as the iPhone X.

來操作 iPad Pro

So you can tap to wake, swipe up to go home,

所以你可以點擊喚醒，向上滑動返回桌面

swipe up a little bit more to go to open the app launcher,

向上滑動多一點開啟 app 啟動程式

swipe up just a little bit to open the dock,

向上滑一點可以顯示工具列

and swipe between apps along the bottom here.

沿著底部滑動多個 app

Now this will even preserve your app layout,

現在這個甚至不會變動到 app 的排列

so if you've got two apps on one screen,

如果你螢幕上有兩個 app

they'll be right there when you come back.

當你做完其他事情返回時它們還會在那裡

And of course you can pop over certain apps

當然，有需要的話，你可以開啟其他的 app

to get something done quickly if you need to.

來迅速完成一些東西

These new gestures are all pretty intuitive to pick up,

這些新手勢非常容易上手

especially if you've been using an iPhone X.

特別是你平時都有在用 iPhone X 的話

But there's a lot going on when you swipe up,

當你往上滑動可以看到時事動態

and getting the dock,

然後停靠住

and not the app switcher

不是 app 切換功能

is a lot harder than you would think.

比你想的還要難

You have to take a minute to really dial it in.

而是需要花一點時間去了解

Apart from screen size,

除了螢幕的大小

both size of the iPad Pro are identical internally.

兩款的內建硬體都是一樣規格的

With the new 8-core A12X processor, four speakers,

新的 8 核心 A12X 處理器，4 個擴音器

the smart connector for keyboards on the back

設計在背部的智慧型鍵盤連接器

instead of the bottom, a 12 megapixel camera with smart HDR,

1200 百萬畫素的智慧 HRD 鏡頭

no more headphone jack,

不再有耳機孔

(takes a breathe)

深呼吸

and a new USB-C port on the bottom

底部有全新的 USB-C 等級的插孔

to replace the lightning connector.

取代耳機孔

I'd normally keep going here but that USB-C port

我到這裡通常不會停下來，但這 USB-C 孔

is really what you all came to see, right?

是你們所期待的，對吧?

So let's just start plugging stuff in, and see what happens.

所以我們來連接一些東西，看看會怎麼樣

Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop,

呼、呼、呼、呼

whoop, whoop, whoop. (laughing)

呼、呼、呼 (笑聲)

So here's the deal,

好的，是這樣的

with one huge exception,

除了一個比較不一樣的地方

most everything you'd want to plug into a USB-C port works

大部分插進去 USB-C 孔的東西都有作用

if you have an app that supports it.

如果 app 有支援這功能的話

We tried a bunch of hubs, an HDMI adaptor, a keyboard,

我試了一些網路線、HDMI 轉換頭、鍵盤

a camera, a microphone, even a VGA adaptor,

相機、麥克風、VGA 轉換頭

and silly USB accessories like this fan.

還有些簡樸的周邊商品，像是風扇

The USB-C ecosystem is not super well developed,

這 USB-C 生態系統有點美中不足

but the stupid accessories are definitely out in force.

但這簡樸的東西就非常的好用

The iPad Pro will charge a phone,

這 iPad Pro 可以手機充電

it'll charge a Nintendo Switch.

可以任天堂 Switch 充電

We tried some pro DJ gear,

我們還測過 DJ 混音器

but that didn't work because there's no app support for it.

不過沒作用，因為沒有 app 支援它

And neither did this cheap HP printer,

便宜的 HP 也是一樣

but honestly what were you expecting.

正如你所期待的

But the main thing I want to plug into an iPad

但主要我想連接 iPad 的

simply doesn't work, external storage.

外接記憶體竟然沒有作用

You can plug as many flash drives,

你可以連接隨身碟與硬碟

or hard drives as you want into this USB-C port,

到這 USB-C port 多少個都可以

and nothing will happen.

然後什麼事都不會發生

They won't show up in your apps,

它不會出現在你的螢幕

they won't show up in Apple's files app, nothing.

也不會顯示在你的 Apple 的檔案 app，什麼都沒有

If you plug a camera into the iPad,

如果你連接照相機到 iPad

or an SD card from your camera into a card reader,

或插入讀卡機來讀照相機的記憶卡

iOS 12 will automatically pop open a camera import screen,

and let you import photos into your Camera Roll, that's it,

you can't even import photos directly

你甚至無法直接匯入相片

into an app like Lightroom CC.

到 Lightroom CC 的修圖軟體

Apple has to be in the middle.

蘋果公司必須要插手

Now, I asked Apple about this,

我問了蘋果公司

because I use Lightroom CC all of the time,

因為我一直都用 Lightroom CC 修圖軟體

and I don't wanna clutter up my Camera Roll,

我不想將大量的原始圖檔把相機的空間

and iCloud storage with huge RAW files.

還有雲端空間都塞滿

And Apples big solution is that

蘋果公司的解決方案是

Adobe wrote a series shortcut

Adobe 寫了一串路徑程式

that imports photos into Lightroom,

可以使相片匯入 Lightroom

and then automatically deletes them from the Camera Roll.

然後自動刪除相機的照片

Which is basically a hack to be honest.

其實它就是駭客入侵方法

A neat hack that works, sure, but a hack,

非常俐落的方法，但就是入侵

and this is essentially the story of the iPad Pro,

這就是 iPad Pro 的故事

and it's why I can't just use it the way I want to.

也是無法依照我想要的方式來使用它

Either you have to completely understand

除非你完全理解

the limitations of iOS so well

IOS 的所有限制

that you can make use of these little hacks

才能夠善用這簡單的駭客方式

all over the place to get things done,

進到很多地方來完成工作

or you just deal with it,

不然就是將就它

and accept the fact that you have to go back

接受它可能要常常回去使用

to a real computer from time to time

真實電腦的事實

because it's just easier.

因為很簡單

And it's the same all over iOS 12 on the iPad.

它跟 iPad 的 iOS 12 一樣

For the most part iOS 12 is super fast, and fun to use,

iOS 12 最好的地方是非常地快，也用得愉快

but there are roadblocks everywhere.

但 iPad Pro 還是有很多阻擋的地方

This new iPad Pro is faster than my actual laptop,

這新款的 iPad Pro 快過於我的比電

but the mobile version of Safari

但手機上版 Safari

just isn't a desktop class browser,

不是桌電版的瀏覽器

so it kicks you out to apps all the time.

它會一直將你登出 app

I don't wanna use Apple Mail, I don't.

我不用蘋果的信箱，我不喜歡

But I can't set Outlook, or Gmail to be the default,

但我也沒辦法設定 Outlook 或是 Gmail 為預設信箱

so I kinda end up in Apple Mail all the time.

所以我就只能使用蘋果的信箱

And I hate to tell you this,

我不得不告訴你

but since Apple refuses to support Googles VP9 video codec,

自從蘋果拒絕支援 Google 的 VP9 影片解碼器

there is literally no way to watch YouTube in 4k

所以 4k 的 YouTube 影片都沒辦法

on this $2000 tablet.

在這 $2000 的平板上觀看

You just can't do it.

無論是用瀏覽器看或是 app 軟體看

我破不急待想把 A12X 用到極限

and use the iPad Pro as my main computer.

把 iPad Pro 當我的電腦來用

But over, and over again I can't.

但一次又一次地，我還是沒辦法

And I don't think it's just me being stuck

我認為可能是只有我

in some old way of thinking,

被過去的想法給卡住

or needing to spend more time discovering a new workflow,

得要多花點時間找尋新的工作流程

or understanding series shortcuts better.

或是多了解一系的使用捷徑

This is just basic stuff like plugging in a flash drive,

但你打開它，就會想把它當平板用

you're gonna have to feel these keys on the back

你會摸到背面的按鍵

which is just not very Apple like,

這非常不像蘋果得作風

同時 Google 的 Pixel Slate

and the Surface Pro offer near infinite adjustments,

與 Surface Pro 提供無盡的調整

you really just get the two with the iPad Pro.

真的會很想要有這兩台與 iPad Pro

You got that one, and you got that one.

你有著個，你有那個

That's about it.

就是這麼一回是

I would bet 3rd parties like Logitech

我還敢打賭第 3 方的競爭者 Logitech

offer much nicer keyboards in the future,

未來會提供更棒的鍵盤

just like they did with the older iPad Pro,

就像蘋果做的 iPad Pro

so I would take a minute, and see what they do.

所以我要停一下，看看他們在做什麼

The Apple Pencil was already pretty great specs wise

蘋果筆都是非常有智慧的

in terms of pressure sensitivity, and palm rejection,

以重力感應以及防止掌處的功能

so there wasn't much to improve upon there.

可以說是好得沒話說
