The Apple event<\/a> is over with announcements on refreshed products like the MacBook Air (MBA), the MacBook mini and of course, the iPads. The new iPad comes in various sizes – 11-inch and the 12.9-inch with Liquid Retina display.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The biggest iPad Pro (12.9-inch screen) is just the size of an A4 size (or Letter size) paper. Apple called it “all screen” design. The new iPad Pro is also thinner. Love the design changes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Apple has ditched the Lightning Port (for USB-C) and the front button. The fingerprint sensor is also replaced with Face ID. What is more interesting is that the Apple iPad Pro can now charge an iPhone via the USB-C port.<\/p>\n

And accessories-wise, the 2nd Generation Apple Pencil can be charged wirelessly and attached to the new iPad Pro via magnet. Wins for design.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Adobe Photoshop CC will come to iPad in 2019. Based on the demo, I believe the features are enough for you to ditch the laptops and only use the iPad Pro for photo editing. That leads to the last point. The iPad Pro comes with storage of up to 1 TB. I don’t think anyone will have any complaint on storage anymore.<\/p>\n
