User Experience

Before the death of Steve Jobs, Apple Company founder, the company was able to lead the market from one technological revolution to another. However, after his death and the assignment of Tim Cook to his position, we felt that Apple lost its mastermind and turned into a company that is trying to pick up with other companies.

iPad Pro is considered the first device that Apple launches to be able to compete with other companies. This is why the device is equipped with a pen and a removable portable keyboard; all these things are new to Apple. But what is really distinct is that when Apple offered the pen and keyboard device, it offered them in a distinct shape that is still worth trying.

  • In Terms of Appearance: The device is considered relatively large, which is a pro and con at the same time. The pro comes from the great potential the device offers when it has a large screen, especially for those working in the field of writing or painting. However, the cons come from the difficulty of moving around with such a large screen. Apple tried to make up for this problem by making the device considerably lighter.
  • In Terms of Use: The device does everything that is required with remarkable efficiency, thanks to the speed of the device and the modern processor it is equipped with. However, at the same time, the price the device comes with is considered very high compared to the additions provided compared to previous iPad devices, or even compared with other tablets offered from other companies that the iPad is competing with.
    Dalia Elbadri, a pediatrician, uses the iPad Pro to record her appointments and follow up with her patients. She assured us that the device has made a lot of her work tasks easier, especially the electronic pen that she can use to quickly record information and a number of other things. She always uses it to surf the Internet and review different information, and the fact that there is more than one pattern of Internet connectivity is rather beneficial.
  • In Terms of Battery Performance: According to her use, it used to die quickly, especially when the camera is turned on for a long period of time or when running video files or links (YouTube). This makes her recharge the device more than once each day in order to be able to bear constant use.
