The iPad Pro uses Face ID security, which works great on the iPhone (when you're not wearing a mask) because of how you tend to hold a phone.

There's no clearly visible right way to hold this device, which in some ways brings it closer to the ideal of the iPad being something you can use in any configuration… but there's a problem in practice.

There's a small set of volume controls in one corner, and a sleep/wake switch just next to that, though generally you'll just turn it on by tapping the screen. Apple specifically cited this as a reason for keeping a 3.5mm jack on the MacBook Pro, so the same should apply here. What you don't get here is a 3.5mm headphone jack, which feels like a big miss for a pro machine that could be ideal for musicians. It's for charging, but also works just as a USB port, and you connect everything from storage to monitors and hubs. The sides and back are all aluminium, and the front is all glass, so it feels truly premium.Īt one end is the sole port: a USB-C socket. Both versions are the same 5.9mm thickness, and it feels really impressively slim in-hand, especially on the 12.9-inch model. The sides are flat, and then there's a totally flat back, save for a bump where there dual-lens camera sits, very much like the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro. It's a nearly all-screen front, with just a bit of bezel at the edge, with rounded corners that include a matching curve on the screen, making the screen and body feel all like one design in a way that not many gadgets manage. The current iPad Pro uses the same design as the 2018 version, though it looks just as sleek and modern now as then.
