Apple iPad Pro 12.9 (2022) review: Strength spare
Apple retains the design of the iPad Pro 12.9 launched in 2021, but not only. The image block on the back of the tablet is identical. So it includes a 12MP sensor associated with a wide angle (f/1.8), but also an ultra-wide angle (f/2.4) sensor with a 10MP sensor.
Main unit: 12 MP, f/1.8
The iPad Pro 12.9 (2022) makes it simple, as its definition is limited to 12 megapixels. Thus, the sharpness is logically inferior to that of the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, which is a little better defined, but we note both fairer colorimetry and slightly natural processing. We appreciate the high level of detail even in the periphery of the image, which is a sign of the quality of the optics.
At night, on the other hand, the iPad Pro 12.9 (2022) suffers. The picture is too noisy and the colors are not saturated. Even if the Samsung tablet can’t recover more detail, it has the advantage of delivering a more pleasing display and a decidedly smoother, but more eye-pleasing, display.
Ultra Wide Angle Module: 10 MP, f/2.4
Few tablets offer a second photo module, and even more with this definition. This 10-megapixel sensor is identical to last year’s 12.9 iPad Pro sensor, and produces similar results. However, we notice a warmer color scale and a bit more detail.
On the other hand, at night, he current situation. The noise is just as present as last year, despite the slightly pathological exposure. Pictures are not usable.
Front unit, portrait and video position
The iPad Pro 12.9 (2022) retains the 12MP front-facing module (f/1.8 optics) from its predecessor. Good news that allows you to take good quality photos – for those who are not discouraged by the weight and dimensions of the device. We note that this unit is always on the left edge of the tablet when placed in landscape orientation, which seems to be a shame for those who use this iPad with a keyboard in the context of video meetings, for example.
Finally, the iPad Pro 12.9 can capture up to 4K at 60 fps, but also in ProRes up to 4K at 30 fps (only from the 256 GB version of the tablet), which the previous generation lacked Apple. It is up to the user to decide if they are useful to him…
