Apple’s latest generation of iPad Pro comes in the same 11 and 12.9-inch sizes but brings a combination of minor upgrades and some substantial improvements. You get a marginally improved processor and a second, wider camera, but you also get an intriguing new LiDAR scanner, and, coming this May, a full-on laptop mode thanks to a scissor-switch, trackpad-powered Magic Keyboard.

Much of the second-gen 2018 iPad Pro remains. The screen is the same 120Hz ProMotion, P3 wide colour gamut LCD Liquid Retina panel. The Face ID camera is still 7MP; sitting at the top in portrait mode/ on the side in landscape. The charger for the Apple Pencil is now along the top landscape edge, and the keyboard slots into the bottom – we just wish there were a way to still have our preferred camera position in landscape.
