This is arguably what computers will look like in five years the kind of design that actually looks like it’s from the future. At risk of sounding too hyperbolic, this update turns the iPad from a “squashed / really big iPhone” into a laptop replacement. Anyone who has used an iPhone X (or XS or XR) can attest to how quickly the gesture system starts to feel natural-there’s no reason to go back to the home button after you use this thing. It looks like last year’s iPhone X, itself a big deal, and for good reason. You can really see every bead of sweat on the players and movement in the stands, a far-cry from the crummy graphics of most mobile games. The keynote spent some time showing just how good this is as a gaming device, too, with a vaguely humorous demonstration of what 2K Games’ NBA 2K looks like on the new iPad Pro. It has a processor that’s faster than most desktop computers and as much graphics power as the latest XBox, in a package that’s just a few millimeters thick and the size of a piece of paper. It not only looks futuristic, but it’s… well… it’s super cool. This is probably the biggest deal of the three.
